Labrador Retrievers
A thread about our Labs. I created this because I am getting tired or people always remarking how 'stupid', 'dumb', and 'slow' they think Labs are. This is not to put this breed above all others but to show their good traits and that they are intelligent, strong, and loyal dogs...

help me pick a breed
Ok, this is meant to be kind of fun. Of course I'm not going to run out and buy a dog because someone says they are nice. BUT, I have spent so much time looking around at dog info sites reading about breeds, and I thought where to get the best breed info than from people who actually own those breeds...

Am Bulls - Need to Know! :)
My soon-to-be neighbor and good friend just adopted a rescue American Bulldog, purebred, sired by a "Grand Champion" from Texas (sad story - mismarked puppies sold to a family who ended up neglecting them severely). This nine month old female is the most amazing dog. I'm not a novice dog...

Thoughts about "doodles"
John Q. Public gets a lot of information about the horrors of puppy mills, but most have a very limited understanding of what "we" consider a puppy mill. To the average puppy buyer, those slick internet ads about "designer breeds" are very appealing. The breeds aren't the old...

Breed suggestions...
Not for me this time! LOL! For my Gandma, if she is strong enough after kemo and still wants a dog, I am going to get her one. She needs it to be a small dog, under 25pounds? And no need much up-keep, like, no Shih Tzu's because they need hair-cuts regularly, so, smooth or wired hair. She said a...

what breed?
I spent today wandering around the Biltmore Estate in Asheville,NC ex home of George Vanderbilt and there were various family pictures featuring a very large, mostly white, with brown patches, seemingly short haired, flop eared dog. Almost looked Saint Bernard-ish but shorter hair and more white. Any...

A family member has decided to get a golden retriever. Despite my best attempts, they are convinced that a dog coming from a shelter is "damaged," and they want a purebred pup. I am going to try to help them buy from a breeder responsibly. Does anyone know of responsible golden breeders...

Hounds

Corgi or Sheltie
Do they stick their tongues out a lot? Kota is a mutt and I am always wondering what he is a mix of but he has this habit of always having his tongue sticking out just a little bit.
