What do you think she is?!
She followed me when I went hiking with my dogs (it was a whole day trip) and I didn't have the heart to close the door in front of her, so I took her in. I've put lots of ads all around, called the vets, and later found out that she doesn't have an owner and that she's been on the streets...

what, oh what, could he be?
This is my newest foster, Harley (when will I learn to stop!! haha.....) He's just under a year old, and fiesty as can be! He's barky - very terrier like. But he's also sweet as pie. He's a bit jealous, but we're working on that - he's been through a lot, so I'm thinking it's...

What am I?(couple new pics)
Got another drop off. I think she is Dachshund/JRT mix. What do you all think? And what would you name her? She is really calm and follows Samantha everywhere. She is good in the house and doesnt try to get on the furniture but makes herself at home on the porch swing. She wouldnt stand up so I could...

For anyone with firsthand experience with both breeds I would like to compare and contrast the disposition and trainability of them.My 11 year old son has a working bred Aussie.We almost didn't get her because of the negative things we'd read.We have 40 acres therefore she gets alot of exercise...

Breed guess!
My friend adopted this cutie boy @ the humane society several months ago. He was listed as a lab/ golden retriever, but i don't see it! I was thinking maybe some sort of beagle-y mix, possibly a little yellow lab. He's about 40 lbs, very sweet, and he is a sniffer. Overall is a very calm, laid...

Rhodesian ridgebacks?!
This is a breed that I like a lot and was considering to get one in the near future. I've read lots about them and I think one would fit nicely and easily in my way of life But, I have spoken with breeders and many people who own them, and they mostly said that these dogs are stupid, untrainable...

Is this dog a Pomeranian?
Someone dropped this adorable dog in our subdivision. He didn't have a chip, tag or collar. After taking care of him for the past one week, we have decided to keep him. We took him to the vet today and he seems to be a healthy dog (3-4 years old, 14" tall and 9.0 lb). We are wondering if he...

American Allaunts -- Tell me more please
I just heard of this breed for the first time today, and I am just curious to learn more about them and when/how/why they originated. I briefly googled them, but didn't come up with much info. Apparently they aren't a recognized breed. I'm hoping some of you folks here might have a little...

stalking... a breed trait?
Is stalking prey a breed thing or more of a dog thing? Just curious... just saw my dog stalk a rabbit. The rabbit was just sitting there at first while my dog slowly inched towards it like lion would. She's part terrier but I have never seen terriers stalk anything.

Is Your Breed Easy To Train?
I just took Riley on a long walk and practiced heeling and his recall....he did really well, but I gotta say sometimes it would be nice to have a border collie or aussie or german shepherd - one of those breeds that are renowned for their trainability. It seems like it would be so much easier to teach...
