Let's add a breed to the equation... lab vs GSD vs dobe....
Let's compare apples, oranges and banana's... all fruit but yummy in their own specific way..... Can we compare the temperments of all three breeds....? Our breeds of choice through the years have been labs, which we currently own one of, and GSD's.. as I stated before. I see some...

Thinking of adding this guy to our family
Maya is coming up on, if not already 10 years old, which is getting up there for a boxer. She's been slowing down, but is still in good health. I've been thinking of getting another younger dog to put more years in her life. My fiance and I ran into this precious 4 month old puppy at a petsmart...

What kind of dog am I?
So I got this puppy (Riley) from the pound and the most that they could tell me was that he's a terrier mix. I've taken him to the vet and she says that it's too hard to tell until he gets older. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on what he could possibly be. Any suggestions...

Cão de Fila de São Miguel... I'm in love!
I've never seen this breed of dog before IRL, and I'm wondering if anyone else has known one. I read they are highly wary of strangers and an aggressive breed if not properly trained and handled. That makes me nervous, but they say the same of GSDs, Dobes, etc. True, but any dog can be that wau...

What breed do you think Lucy is?
Hello, My family and I adopted Lucy from the SPCA. They said she was a Shepherd Mix, but she is now full grown and is not big. Personally I think she is a Corgi/Beagle. So.. What do you think? Thanks! ~Emma P.S: Here is a link to the picture, I dont know how to attach it to the message. Link...

Breed Suggestions
Looking for a dog that will be under 30 pounds full grown. Good with kids is a must as this will be my 7 year olds 4-h dog.Grooming isn't really an issue. Would like something not completely stubborn but not a real soft dog either. I am thinking not a terrier either. We will probably adopt but just...

Tamaskan Dog
I just stumbled upon this breed and I'm in awe of how gorgeous they are, I've never seen one before though and I believe they're rare. Has anyone ever owned one or know more info about them?

English Setter owners?
Any other ES owners out there? I'd love to hear about yours. Here's my 9 month old ES boy, who I'm completely besotted with.

AKK and CC's
Living in a small town, I don't get to see the "rare" breeds. Infact I didn't even know these breeds existed until coming to this forum. Now, however, since joining up with my K9 club I am on talking terms with an AKK breeder (he's my team leader for Sandy's volunteer group...

Question about Doxie colors...
(Hi everybody!) Ok, here's my question...I used to have a "Doxie/Beagle mix", but looking at pics of Doxies and then of Dixie Beagle mixes, I think she was all(or mostly) Doxie. I can't find a pic of her, but I'm trying. She was piebald for sure, but her color was like a beagle...

What breed am I?!
Hello all! I just got my new puppy Sage, and I couldn't be happier with him! Sage is a rescue pup, so his origins are unknown. The pound from which the Rescue took him said that he was "Doberman Boxer Mix", but the Rescue and my vet said that it's more likely he's Doberman...

Finnish Lapphunds and Icelandic Sheepdogs
Anyone have experience with either breed? I love the herders and in all likelihood will have another for my next 'bigger' dog, but since getting Mia I am realizing that I do love a slightly more challenging type of dog. I'm really starting to fall for the spitz types, especially the herding...

Border collies
I had a question for BC owners out there. First I did a search and couldn't find a thread dedicated to them going back through February, so I didn't think starting a new one would be bad. So if you own a BC, my question is do they have an off switch? And if so, how hard was it to teach...

Pit Bull/Staffordshire Terrier/ S. Bull Terrier ?????
When we got married my husband owned a beautiful Staffordshire Bull Terrier. When I got pregnant I was very concerned about owning a "pit bull" in a house with a baby. * Please note, I am not trying to offend any pit bull owners. Now that I have met more pit bulls/Staffordshire terriers I have...

Whatcha' think...mix or purebred? (added more pics)
My daughter and her boyfriend found this dog at his house a couple weeks ago, and the neighbor has been feeding her, but no one has officially taken her in. My guess was either Basset/Beagle mix or full blooded Basset. My daughter said she is absolutely THE sweetest dog ever and wants to bring her home...

Yet another dumped dog... any breed guesses?
Instead of our house, this man was dumped at my sister's house. He's been there for four days now. They're calling him Bluejeans..... he's medium-small... has a coat similar to a pomeranian. He's got one ear that stands up, one that kind of flops to the side. He knows how to sit...
