Breed clubs
What are the benefits of registering with a breed club? I'm thinking about registering Sandy with the JRT club of Canada but I don't see the benefits at the moment. I've never been a member of anything like it so I'm not to sure. Advice please.

Alrighty, more breed guessing...(2shelties)
I've had Scarlett for a few months now...I got her from a rural animal control facility and she was listed as an Australian Shepherd...she's small though, so I've been calling her a mini aussie. Problem is, as she gets older she's looking less and less like any kind of aussie. What I...

Breed Question
You may have seen my previous post, asking about Golden Retrievers. I even found a sweet puppy that I was going to move forward on until talking to my vet and getting the ins & outs of particular local breeders. I want a sweet, loving, loyal dog but I don't want to support breeders who are in...

Doberman Pinschers- VWD question
Hi everyone, I am seriously looking to acquire a female dobe pup to show in a year or so. I've been researching the breed, and read about the high rates of von Willebrand's disease. While looking online at a certain Dobe's pedigree, I noticed that many dogs who were VWD carriers were bred...

Anyone know about Merles and deafness/blindness in aussies?
If two aussie merles accidentally mate, is it just the pure whites or the ones with white around the eyes and ears who are at risk, or can the ones with solid coloration be at risk as well? Mom is a red merle, dad is a blue merle. 2 babies are blue merles, 2 babies are solid livers with white blazes...

good apartment dogs?
Does anyone have any suggestions for good breed or types of apartment dogs? Obviously an older dog might tend to sleep more during the day and not bark so much, but what about for the breed? I know people automatically think tiny small dogs, and most places have size restrictions.. Any suggestions...

See my post about the Missouri 75 - GSP's in need!
I put a post out there under Advocacy. Check out the links and help if you can. There were many GSP's rescued from a puppy mill in Missouri. The owner had torched the place!

Herders & Eye Contact
WOW! I cannot say enough about the eye contact I saw given by the herders in class last night. There was a BC, 2 Aussies, and a Belgian Tervuran (sp?), 2 Irish Water Spaniels (what unusual dogs!), and Jeremy and I with Apollo. One Aussie was fear reactive towards men. I had Jeremy at class with me...

What breed is this puppy?
So, I posted a couple of days ago that I was going to get this one puppy, but was having trepidation (i.e. cold feet). After much consideration, I told the fella I would not be taking her. Something didn't feel right. Fast forward to early this morning. I was still on the lookout for a pup, but figured...

New Guess the Breeds - Easy One
This is our new neighbor's dog. She's the one you hear barking now when I post a training video of Ted herding. Jasmine is about three years old, very playful and clever, extremely active, can't be trusted off leash or she will run and not come back, and is fiercely territorial. But she...

Doberman Owners
I am getting insanely jealous that all these other breeds have a thread, and our wonderful, brilliant, loyal, loving babies don't have a thread of their own. So who has a dobie? What is his/her name? Give me all the particulars. I have one Doberman of my own. Bevo is a 3.5 year old, neutered male...
