What do you know about Dalmations?
I don't know anyone here that has a purebred Dalmation, but if you do or have first hand experience with one please let me know what it's like living with one. I love the looks of these dogs and they seem pretty rare (at least around here). I don't know much about them besides they're...

Is Woofie a Lhasa Apso?
We've had Woofie for five years, and I always thought he was a Lhasa Apso mix, but now I'm wondering if he is a purebred. He came to us as a puppy, with no history of where he came from. Here he is at about 6 months old: [IMG]http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k304/racuda00/woofiecopy.jpg[/IMG...

Obviously, if i did ever own one it would be very far in the future, especially considering the dobie situation and my need for a GSD and RR...

So-we made up our mind!
Well, I shot down the idea of both the GWP and goldendoodle. I really wanted a dog that would both point and retrieve well. Because we have a lab and German shepherd, I also wanted something a little smaller than either breed. I have owned brittanys in the past and decided adding another would be an...

Guess Frankies Breeds ..again
Now that the Frankster is nearing one years oldI think it might be a safe time to see what breeds he might be composed of. Back when I first got him last Feb one of the msot common guesses was Bull Terrierx Jack Russel Mix. Well I think those may not be quite right. He now towers over my neighbors Jack...

Can you tell me about
Dogs that have a lower drive? And lower energy? I plan on adopting my next dog, but I'd like to go in a general area of a breed. Golden's, Lab's, Rotties, GDS's, Hounds, and Terriers are all common in my area. So are Pitties, but they are out of the question - says Mom and Dad(insurence...

For Kate: Do You Groom Your Dog With a Shop Vac?

In terms of hair, she takes after her Pyr side more - but I found the following pretty true for most big furry dogs. Giant Breed Grooming Tips The secrets to grooming a large breed dog are revealed.

Livestock guardians in suburbia
Okay, so I've heard mixed things about livestock guardian breeds in suburbia. I have heard on one hand that they need large areas to roam and will get bored if they are confined to a small area most of the time. I have also heard that they do fine in suburban settings. I am guessing it depends on...

Another guess the mix
I was looking for a crate for Sam and found these doggies....I'd love to take on(the male) but 2 dogs is enough, and I don't know how big they will get. Any idea on the mix? http://fayetteville.craigslist.org/pet/895295245.html

Alapha Blue Blooded Bulldogs
I am curious about this breed. I will never own one because I am not much of a bull dog person, but the breed seems pretty interesting. Has anyone had any experience with one? From what I have read online they were bred in Georgia as a gaurddog for plantations. But thats about all I can find...

What mix?
Just for curiosity's sake. I've been eyeing these guys a while. They're gorgeous and close to me (lol, no new dogs for me though!). They're listed as pure papillons, but there is something so NOT papillon in them. I can't put my finger on it. One looks almost border collie to me and...

Looking for info on Chessies, Tollers, & PWDs
DH wants a dog of his own, & I am trying to help him decide on a breed that we both can live with. He wants a dog that, when trained, can act as a retriever for him during his duck hunting excursions. DH could be very happy with a lab or golden, but I have serious doubts that I would be able to,...
