Any Other Leonbergers?
We recently adopted a Leonberger wannabe - probably a mix that happens to look and act just like one - hard to believe one would be this tiny and also purebred, but who knows? Anyway, besides rwbeagles' new girl, does Lynn have any Leo buddies lurking out there? Nothing Leos like better than more...

Help with breed type, please :)
We got Periwinkle from a rescue, and I'm not really sure what she is. I was thinking part Greyhound, but recently saw a Saluki and I thought that might be it? Any thoughts?

Sniper's breeds? Guesses?
I put pictures of Sniper on a few months ago for anyone to guess what she might be, but I figured I would put some new ones up as she will soon be 7 months old, and I know it's easier to tell breed makeup the older they are. Any guesses? [IMG]http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/BrianaLoren/Wrinkless...

I had the dog first!! Everytime my boyfriend comes over to visit, his eyes start to get itchy. He loves my dog, but he's allergic! I bought a Dyson vacuum and use that constantly. I've read that a fatty acid supplement can help. What can I do???

how do you handle breed discrimination?
This is something that has been bugging me lately. The amount of comments i get when i take my dogs out is absurd. I absolutely understand that not everyone likes german shepherds, or the other "bad breeds". I'm just sort of sick of all the rude comments. I used to try and take the time...
