Rear Dewclaws
Are they common in your breed/s? Any thoughts on the genetics of said same? We are having a discussion on them in the Beagle on the L and it was quite interesting. Many folks had never had any...yet I have had them come up plenty in my breedings (Sully actually has them and I didn't breed him...

RWbeagles..... has adorable beagles.
I just wanted to thank you for putting such cute pics of your pups in your sig. My grandpa used to raise beagles when I was a child and I have so many fond memories of those days. As we near the one year anniversary of his passing, I find myself thinking back on those good times when he was so active...

German Shepherd vs Doberman Pinscher
I've always been a German Shepherd person... and have been anxiously awaiting the day I could possibly get another one. However, the more I think about it the more I'm thinking about possibly a Doberman. I like the idea of not as much hair, a LOT... and the docked tail....and in general like...

Breeds that could work for me?
I'm not getting another dog right now, but I thought it'd be fun/interesting to see what ya'll would suggest. I guess I'll give some info. Condo living/no backyard. Shedding is not an issue. Grooming is not an issue. I'd prefer ones not known for major health issues but throw ones...

Speaking of breeds...any guesses?
So, according to the vet guess, Hap's a "black mouth cur". Before this vet, I was always told he was a "mountain cur". From my limited understanding, it seems like "cur" is just a registered breed of mixes, lol. I don't really care, but people ask ALL the time what...

Wow, did you know German Shepherds...
are "known for wagging their tails, right before they bite"? Someone decided to enlighten me with this. Believe it or not, this is NOT the first person who has said that EXACT phrase to me! Do they think it's clever? Some humans are known for appearing pretty smart, until they...

Boxer x ???
The shelter called this guy a boxer x shepherd. He's about 7 months old now. His boxer influence is pretty strong, but what else do you think is in there? His coat is too long for a boxer's and is longest along the shoulders and neck (~1-1.5" ;) .

Pomeranian Coat Color =/
Trying to figure out what my Poms coat color is. I've been told wolf sable, I've been told red sable, I've been told orange sable, but I have no clue. I know his baby coat will shed and he will get his adult coat in and it may be different from what his coat is now so its kinda hard to tell...

Rat Terriers?
There have been a series of conversations on here that have got me thinking about possibly adding a second dog -- though I won't know if I am adding this hypothetical puppy (HP) or not until January or June. First, what I want in a dog. I have always wanted to compete in agility or obedience, and...

What is Lucky?
This is Mia's best friend. He's owned by a friend of mine and we see him almost every day at the park. Some background: He was adopted from the local animal shelter as a puppy and was labelled a border collie mix. Also, he's HUGE. I'm not sure how much he weighs but he is substantially...

Dobe or Beauceron?
So, I've really been researching the Doberman (I've had one before, but he was a BYB dog and not exactly the best representation of the breed, though I loved him!), and have found several good breeders. I still have a few issues, though... I want a dog that I can both show in conformation and...

Any one have a Beauceron?
I was just wondering if anyone on here has a beauceron? I lost my boy almost 2 yrs ago and haven't had the heart to get another. If you do, are you working them or just a pet? Dawn

French bulldog
Hi everyone, I live in a small apartment and I'm thinking of adopting a French bulldog as I've heard that they are well suited to apartment life and I also think they are adorable. My main concern is health problems. I've been very unlucky in the past as my boxer died of esophagus cancer...
