i saw one of these dogs on tv at a dog show. they look rather unique, do they exist in great numbers here in the usa? anyone have any experience with them? i wouldnt mind another dog, perhaps one that would take more of a challenge to raise. the kuvasz are brilliant looking as well.

Looking for input on my mixed breed
I adopted my dog Koa about 6 months ago and I am trying to come to agreement on her breeds. The shelter determined she is a Lab/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix but her trainer thinks there is some Pit in her. Browse through the photos on my profile if you want to see more pictures. I'd like any opinions...

Scalloped lips?
I don't have a good picture, but I Googled for a while and I couldn't come up with anything, so I thought I would ask the experts. Theo, my lab/retriever/flatcoated-look-alike mutt has what I would call ridged or scalloped lips. Not that I've looked at many dog mouths, but is this common...

My cairn is black and many people think he is a scottie. When I tell them he is a cairn terrier they still do not know until...

I wanna play "Guess the Breed"! (Liesje)
Let's hear some opinions on Coke. Do you think he could get an ILP? He's very attentive, food motivated, and wants to please. I think he'd make a good rally dog eventually. I'm not sure of his exact weight and size. Kenya is 21" and 55lbs. Coke is taller than her, so likely heavier...

Pug question
So my BF and I have these friends that have a little 14 wk old pug. I'm sure it's from a BYB. They've had a lot of medical problems with her already. Having some kind of parasite I think in her intestines, or maybe it was just worms. But every time I go over there her right eye is some what...

Breed Guesses?
Hello, I recently adopted a puppy from a shelter, and I'm curious as to what breed she might be (not that it really matters; I'll love her the same whatever she is ). The vet thinks she's around 6 months old because she's almost lost all of her baby teeth, and she weights in at 17 pounds...
