Dutchies.... Gotta Love Em!!
So I didn't have much experience with the wonderful world of working dogs and had certainly never heard of a Dutch Shepard until Havoc stepped into my life. He's now 5yrs old and one hell of a kick in the pants. They definitely are not for everyone as their drive can be too much for some but...

Small breeds suitable to live with large breeds
So T-Bone is going to get a sibling at some point. I've been considering bull terriers, collies, another GSD, a Dobe, etc. T-Bone is gonna be a big boy and I want to make sure his sibling has the stamina to play with him, the strength to wrestle and play tug-o-war, and most importantly not be injured...

So, You Wanna Live With a Dobe?
When people ask what it's like to live with a dobe, it's easy, for me, to get caught up in talking about the energy level, the stigmas, the protective instincts & the intelligence that you can expect to deal with. I tend to forget to mention other "little things" that are innately...

Odd Colored Aussie?
http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/16295485 I was skimming around on petfinder and saw this guy. Such an odd color, I've never seen before a dog, let alone an aussie.

GSDs
Okay so my dad has it narrowed down to 2 breeds- Chessies and GSDs. He wants a Chessie to be a gun dog, she wants a GSD and has dreamed of one since she was little. Just knowing how things work (lol) I think they'll end up with another GSD. Now, my dad has had a GSD before and loves them but our...

Can A Maremma Be A Good Family Companion Dog?
Hi everyone, This is my first post here and I am looking forward to getting some good advice from you all. I have always owned GSDs but both my last two had to be PTS (one at 9 years of age and one at only 5) due in both cases to neurological issues which has left me heartbroken and also very reluctant...

Chessies
Okay so out of left field but the dog isn't for me, it's for my dad. He has wanted a big dog for a while now, hasn't had one since our shepherd passed. There were really two things he wanted in a dog, a strong protective/guardian streak and a bird dog. He's looked at a LOT of breeds....

Does anyone have a good deal of experience with wolf hybrids?
I'd like to speak to some people who have either owned more than one, or who have worked at a rescue for them. I am not looking to adopt one of these animals, but I have my suspicions that my own dog may have at least a little more wolf in him than the average pup. xD Here's a few pictures...

Little shedding, Protection, Bird dog
If any dog guru's out there can help me, I'm looking for a breed that is good for field and water bird hunting, home protection, and sheds very little. If anyone out there can think of a breed or two that may fill the bill, I'd appreciate the info.
