Choosing A Dog
looking for a particular breed...
Hi! I'm looking for a breed of dog that would be suitable for a farm. I need the dog to be a good guarddog, calm around horses, and able to fend off coyotes.

Saint Starved--lets get started on the BIG dogs
I'm sitting here, at my lonely little desk in my apartment re-vamping the Greater Milwaukee Saint Bernard Club website and feeling completely forlorn. Why, you may ask? Because I haven't a lovable slobbery face looking up into mine while I'm working. My apartment doesn't allow dogs...

Shiba Inu
Has anyone had a Shiba Inu? We had a medium size dog that could have been poster child for the breed. He was a beautiful dog and he was so funny! He hated getting his paws wet! Sometimes I thought he was half cat! He died a few years back from heart worms, though. I miss him.
