what do you think I am?
I've got my guesses - but let's hear yours! Girl is about 8 years old - and was abandoned at a school in Tampa... they held her for her stray time, and we've taken her from there. She's a sweet girl - loves to walk, and is a bit tubby. Not too thrilled with other dogs - so it seems...

Breed decisions are imminent! (corvus)
Getting our next dog has become more than just idle musings this week. Kivi has been with my parents to give Penny a break and he is just wallowing in supreme happiness at the live-in dog park that is my parents' house. He is keeping himself constantly worn out as every time he finds some energy...

Boerboels and Bullmastiffs

I stopped at a vet's office the other day to pick up an article on something he does there and met a dog called a boerboel, the breed from S Africa originally, owned by the vet. I researched them some and...

Breeder question
How did you get started as a breeder? I've chosen my breed, found a mentor and have researched the possible health problems. I plan on starting with a male and getting as many titles on him as possible, in both conformation and sports as well as breed specific titles. I won't be getting my prospective...

How does one go about finding a breeder that breeds dogs with drive and working ability, but not ones breeding those pit bulls that look like they've been on hormones since birth? Or, is the Am...

I want another Lapphund!
Oh my goodness, I've been having vague (and not so vague) thoughts about abandoning all challenging breeds and just getting another Finnish Lapphund. And then my friend goes and takes a squillion photos of the so-called "Rainbow Litter" currently at 3 1/2 weeks old. It's the Rainbow...
