What kind of dog is my puppy made out of?!
Here's the story! I adopted this puppy two weeks ago today, May 28th. It's really your typical story... I work at a veterinary clinic and I received a call from someone who wanted to get this puppy vaccinated but it wasn't her puppy. Being curious I asked her how she came about this puppy...

Warm climate breeds??
Just curious....What breed of dog does well in a warm climate? I *think* Chi's and Greyhound's, Whippets, Italian Greyhound's do...but that's all I can think of. I'm not saying which breed after vigorously exercising in hot weather will be OK or anything. Just breeds that *don't...

Cocker Spaniels
[blockquote]The day before Mother's Day this year I adopted a Cocker Spaniel from the local SPCA. According to the vet, he is about 10 years old (judging by his teeth), and his overall health is good, barring a slight allergy whcih he is dealing with very well, thank you. He is the sweetest and best...

PBGV
My parents said I can get my own dog, and I've been in love with the pbgv for a couple years now and its my dream dog. I've met a few at dog shows I've gone to and they are such little clowns and seem like they would fit into our life style perfectly. The only problem is I cant find a breeder...

yellow labs and viszlas - need help with breeders!
My sister in law is looking to get a puppy. She has a large house with a fenced yard, and 2 children - a 3 year old boy and 6 year old girl. She wants either a yellow lab or a viszla and is asking for my help. My experience is with small breeds so I don't know much about large, working type breeds...

Dobe Breeder suggestions
Hi all! : ) For quite some time now I've known what I'd like my next dog to be...a doberman pinscher to do conformation with, as well as obedience. I don't plan on getting one (IF I get one) until the beginning of 2010, at the earliest. I've considered adoption, as I there is a local...

Basenjis and Shibas (and similar breeds)
It has suddenly become apparent that Penny will probably not be with us to see her 14th birthday at Christmas time. Strangely, despite seeing it coming for years, I guess it is a bit of a surprise for me. I don't think that Kivi will cope all that well as an only dog, and I don't think I will...

Dachshunds (aDork)
So I'm intrigued by dachshunds, because where I'm staying at the moment, I have my own little dachshund buddy. His name is Roto and both his parents are AKC registered. He weighs 12-13 lbs -- between the two classifications-- and will be 2 in September, he is a dilute red (as far as I can figure...

Well I know Copper Is half corgi I have always wondered what his other breed could be and I just found some old picture's of him when my brother found him in the street. Maybe seeing him younger could help. Sorry about the picture's, picture's came from a camjam it wasn't good lol

Looking for a new dog. Need help deciding which breed is the best...
I realize I just popped up again out the wood work, and just as an update, Diesel and I are doing fantastic. His recall is now 110%. I can call him off of dogs and people (not squirrels yet). And the training is better now, thanks to everyone here ♥ But I have a question and am looking for the...

Guess this cutie's breed...
This is Ruby - we call her a Black and Tan Squirrel Terrier... but really we have no idea - she was found dumped in a yard and we adopted her from the Animal Protective League in Springfield, Illinois. She currently weighs about 23 pounds and we guess her age is currently about 6 months old (I just took...

Breed Suggestion for a Friend (mrstjohnson)
My girlfriend and her husband would like to get a family dog. She is committed to doing research and is still not 100% that their lifestyle would be suited for dog...she doesn't want to make a mistake. I did convince her to either adopt from a rescue/humane society or go through a breeder so she...

rwbeagles-GSD from "I Am Legend"
Anyone got an inside track on the dog? Who is she/he and where from? Looks to have a pretty big role in the flick...featured on a lot of the trailers and posters, etc? COOL! Wonder if the dog gets to kick some mutant bootie? Is the GSD community prepared for the onslaught? Beagle folks just had Underdog...

Stephen's Cur Dog - Anyone Heard of Them?
It seems I have one here, as a foster dog. It took me a long time to figure out where I'd seen her shape, mannerisms, etc, before but her color was throwing me off. I'd seen many pictures of dogs just like her in photo albums of Mountain Cur Dogs. I went back to the page and figured out that...
