Breed advice please
I'm looking in to getting an Aussie but I'm not to sure yet. Granted it won't be for a while but you can never have to much research! Lol. I'm looking for a dog who's Velcro to a point and loves to work and easy to train (ei: picks up tricks and commands pretty quick). I want an active...

Do you see Great Dane in this dog?
My latest foster that I picked up last night. I need to change the boat scene in my sig. My rescue org wants to list this guy named Sampson as a Lab Great Dane mix. To me, he is pure black lab. He weighs 82 pounds but is very boney to the touch so I guess his normal weight will be 100 pounds. He stands...

German shepherds moving away from breed standard?
Out of curiosity/still thinking about Roscoe's breeds (I do more thinking about that than I should, lol) I measured him to the shoulder and he stands 25 inches. I wasn't surprised to read Belgian Malinois standard is 24-26 inches, but I was surpised to read German Shepherd standard is the same...

Breed suggestions (herding/working)
Now that I am back home, I am starting to look seriously into adding a new puppy to my household. My only dog now is a near two-year-old male rough coated border collie (cowdog lines). He has grown up around other dogs and gets along great. Over the last 15 weeks while I have been in Army training, he...

Common Breeds Seen in Service Dogs
Just a topic that came up in conversation the other day... What breeds have you seen used as service dogs in the past? Most of what I've heard/seen are golden retrievers or GSDs. I'm sure there are individuals in any breed that would be suitable as a service dog with the right training, but of...

Mini bulldogs?
My cousin is obsessed with wanting a mini bulldog. Not right now, but in the future when she's living with/married to her boyfriend. My first search of them yielded a site saying they were pug/bulldog crosses, so I told her about designer dogs, why they're bad, etc. Then I found out that really...

Pyrenean Shepherd
I've been researching them and love the way they sound. So much variety and they sound like such spunky and athletic guys! Does anyone have any personal experience with them or any info? They're not too common so harder to research. I've only fund the websites of a few breeders stateside...

Aussies vs. Border Collies
If anyone read my last post in General Chat, I wrote there that I was considering getting a GSP puppy to show. I've changed my mind, however, partly due to the size of the dog, and have decided to either get an Australian Shepherd or Border Collie. I am wondering if anyone can help me decide which...

German Shorthair People
I didn't want to hijack the other thread about GSPs, but I was wondering how you all manage your dogs. Since I seem to be the only one who has TONS of trouble with this breed, how do you do it? What type of exercise do you use? My monster lives w/ my fiance, and he is in school/works and really doesn't...
