American Cocker Spaniel
I am in love with American Cocker Spaniels. I love their merry temperament, beautiful coats, size and that they are velcro-dogs :) I have 3. But they are a TON of work. They got a bad rap from over breeding of them in the 50's. I hate nothing more that the 'oh cockers are snappy' and 'oh...

What breed of puppy?
The shelter listed her as a beagle. But is she really an English Pointer? Or something else altogether? At three months, she weighed about 8 pounds.

Pitt Mix?
Hi! I see that there are lots of threads like this in this section but if you all could humor me with another I'd appreciate it! This is Molly, she's about 2 and weighs 65ish lbs. I'm pretty sure she's a pit mix and have had most people tell me she looks like a "backyard pitt"...

Doggie DNA Test
A few months back I bought a Doggie DNA test from Wisdom Panel. The results for Wesker came back and were somewhat inconclusive with a bit of "Seriously?". He's clearly a full blown mutt, but the most clear cut results they got were odd... They were Collie mix on his dad's side, and...

Breed awards ;)
I was thinking today about while all dogs are individuals, there are overall traits that are obviously breed specific. I decided to make a personal list of what I think certain breeds are typical of doing and wanted other's opinions and observations :) Only positive, non-demeaning things please ...
