Has anyone here owned an Alaskan Malamute?
I've been looking into getting a new dog, and the Alaskan Malamute caught my eye. My main concern is that it is independent, thus difficult to train. I have had experience training dogs, but they were Golden Retrievers, so I don't know if that really counts Has anyone had any experience with...

What can you tell me about Pugs?
Let me start by saying that Im not exactly interested in owning a pug, moreso just interested in them. I have sort of mixed feelings about them, and I *sometimes* think they're very cute... more and more so recently. I am just curious about them. Is anyone here a pug owner? Anyone have experience...

White German Shepherds?
All through my growing up years, my Uncle Tim always had white German Shepherds. I remember him showing me his AKC registration papers when I was a young teenager. The dogs looked just like any other German Shepherd, excepting the fact that they were white (not albino, their eyes were normal). They were...

Coonhounds - Black & Tan
I have a couple funny stories to share about a friend's black & tan coonhound. First, having gotten to know my friend's, I think they are great dogs but if you ever had a question this will convince you of how special they are. I know there is at least one forum member who has one of these...

"Large" daschunds-Still exist?
Just curious but when I was young, about 40 years ago, a neighbor had a group of rough coated daschunds that stood about 12-14 inches at the shoulder and looked like they weighed in at about 30-35 pounds. He used them for hunting and they were "hard" little dogs, very tough and scrappy but...

Yes, but what is he?-- Updated!
My boyfriend's "sterile" peke, Venus, had a puppy last april, and his name is Zobby. He's the little man in front. As of now, he's about fifteen pounds. Zobby is also a stubborn, active little man, but that just might be his age. He is very smart and focuses on people really well...

Another "Quess that Breed" Thread!
This poor thing was dumped at my parent's farm. I instantly fell in love with him and took him home. He is very sweet and an extremely fast learner. I got him last Saturday. He was vet checked, neutered and got his first set of shots on Tuesday. He is adjusting well but is still waiting on full run...

On the bandwagon - Sasha
I am seriously impressed with the posters here, so I'm throwing Sasha in. I've always called her a lab/pit mix, although I think lab-mix and pit-mix cross is more like it. She isn't a straight cross, obviously. She weighs about 60 lbs.
