Any PBGV lovers?

Hi everyone, Got a year old petit basset griffon vendéen. Love her! She's such a busy little clown! Don't know any one who owns one. Very rare in Canada. Would like to compare notes with any PBGV owner.

Supposed Vicious Breeds......

This is more of a rant then a question, I guess owning two APBT's just wear on me sometimes though. I get so sad and discouraged sometimes when I see other breeds being granted allowances my dogs don't because they are pit bulls. I'm not talking about stuff like dog parks or Petsmart boarding...

Cairn Terrier Info. Owners only please.

We are thinking about getting a cairn terrier. (A friend offered to give us one of his.) Could a few cairn owners tell me some of their pros and cons? Like how much do they shed? What is their energy level? And how good of apartment dogs are they? Plus I have a baby so I don't need a yappy dog that...

greyhound as 2nd dog to JRT

We are looking to adopt a new fur-baby to be a companion to our Zoey, a JRT who just turned 1 yr old, possibly adopting a greyhound. First, let me tell you all more about Zoey. She does well with our cats, but loves to run and play with other dogs more than anything! She is well socialized with dogs...

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...

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...

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...
