which breed?
I've posted before a few months back, but I cant find the thread to refer to so I guess I'll start a new one... I'm still researching which breed of dog I would like to get this fall/winter when my foster pup gets placed. It would have to be 20 pounds or lighter since that might make it...

Will he ever look like the Little Ceasar Dog?
Max is a 4 month old West HIghland White Terrier. His fur is kind of...sparse. I know that the Westie "look" is archived through grooming, but so far Max doesn't have much to work with. Here is his pic. Note the devil horns.

Are personalities a good way...
To figure out what breed mix a mutt might be? Cherokee "looks" lab-ish, in that she's 60 pounds, drop-eared and black, so it's easy and believable to call her a lab mix. But she does not have a lab personality AT ALL. She hates the water, she won't retrieve, she's not a bouncy...

Bernese Mountain Dogs (and large breed care in general)
DH and I have gone and lost our hearts to the Bernese Mountain Dog! I knew one several years ago and she was darling as a pup and a wonderful adult dog as well. Currently we have 2 bichons and a minpin (old man, 12 and grumpy, but still very spry). I showed bichons and toy poodles in conformation...

Adding another dog to our pack of JRTs
It will becoming up soon and its my other half's choice for her own dog.

A little back story: Sam is 62 pounds and approx. 20 inches at his withers. He has a lot of black spots on his skin that show through his short/thin coat. Sam came from a shelter in northern Iowa that was having trouble placing him due to his 'breed' and the 'No pits in city limits'...

What could he be a mix of?
Snow is a puppy that belongs to a lady that brought him to me b/c her kids were fighting over him and the father got tired of hearing the fuss over him.

Puppy breed guessing
My sister in Florida found this puppy today. She's gonna try to find her home, but in the area she's in, plus how skinny she is, it seems unlikely that the pup has a home, or at least a home who cares. I don't know if she's keeping it if it has no home.. Anywho.. I'm just curious...
