    SheltieMom, how do you do it?!?!?!  23!!!!!!!  Wow!!!!!  Get one more so you can have an even 2 dozen!!!!!  I'd like to see feeding time with 23 dogs!!!  BTW, I have only one dog.  We're hoping to get a sibling this summer since MES (Multiple Eskie Syndrome) has hit us hard.  We'll have twice the hair!!!!

    YUP !!!  :)
     
    All live with us in our home as well. ( no kennel here!)
     
    I must say though that MinPins are tiny ! ;),and that I am a show breeder.
     
    My oldest is my GSD that will be 12 this year. ( she never had pups, spayed at 6 months, was just my jogging buddy... but now, she prefers to wait for me instead of coming along! )
     
     I do not usually re-home my retired moms either, so....
     
    I also have access to 2 - 90 acre farms to run my dogs daily.
     
    But the Minpins, during the winter months, much prefer to cuddle up to the woodstove or fireplace.!
     
    So yup, I have 23! :)

    I have eight of my own, and two possibly forever fosters...However, as Boss, my GSD continues to decline, in the next few weeks, I'll probably only have 9 total [sm=sad.gif]

    That sounds like a blast. I'd LOVE to have that many dogs.

    Jennie they ARE fun, but they are also a LOT of work!  And walks, boy, do I get my exercise!!  And, I'm referring to our off lead walks around the property.....not the once a week leash ones, but I get plenty THEN too.

    I want to have more dogs one of these days. I can't afford more, right now. Miss Emma is NOT an easy keeper!
    • Gold Top Dog
    Just two, Shaq and Marley.
     
    Jamie,
    You are tormenting us with talk of Frenchie puppies. I have managed to convince DH that our next dog should not be the English Bulldog of his dreams, but instead a Frenchie. He is now ohhhhing and ahhhhing with the best of them over pictures of Frenchie puppies. You should have heard him looking at Frenchie pics last week. A grown man really should not sound like that! [;)]

    Karin,
     My DH was ALWAYS dead set on a Bulldog..I was working at Lowe's 50+ hrs a week and knew I didn't have time for a dog like that so we put it off for years. DS was the one who fell in love with the frenchies first and thats how we got one...DH is NOW the biggest fan of the Frenchies...so yes, I do know what its like to have a grown man ohhh and ahhh over these guys, first handed LOL!
    Honey's nickname is sweetie sweet, Teddy is Teddy bear, Blinky is blinker blink, Dunkin is dunkeroo..imagine a 6' man weighing 285 lbs saying "are you the daddy's ******** insert any of the above names"

    They're just SOOOO cute!!! How could you NOT coo over them?

    I saw on Animal Planet that we're hardwired to coo over things with big heads, but eyes, big ears, etc, b/c they're proportionally similar to our own babies.

    Jennie,
     It's terrible...they just melt your heart..it took me a long time to convert, the Am Staffs are my favorite but slowly the frenchies are making tracks on my heart.
