Ovtcharka
Has anyone ever worked with Mid-Asian or Caucasian Ovtcharkas? I've been musing about getting one, preferably one that failed out as a flock guard if I can ever get a nice acerage. It's going to be at least 10 years before I'd have the chance, so I'm going to spend the time getting as...

Real Lab/GSD mix?
Hey! I had a dog growing up and we were told by the people we bought her from that she was Lab/GSD mix but I've always doubted the GSD part because I thought she would be larger. She only weighed about 40-50 pounds, she was very petite and had short legs. Here are some pics of her..sorry they are...

Bulldog/Amstaffs
Well the headline says it all, what do you need to know before getting a pitbull or bulldog? Just please spare me from those not being first owner and getting a pitbull thing. I know a guy that adopted a missused and agressive pitbull, he never had a dog and now she is fine. So its about the owner not...

Advise from Husky owners
I am thinking about taking a Husky mix who needs a permanent home. I met him once, he is beautiful, I loved his personality and his energy. He seemed to be a lot like my cat - quiet, aloof, serious and very gentle. He was found as a stray and he has shot gun wound on his back end. My question to Husky...

Corgi puppies
I live in Northern CA and would love to join a Corgi group or possibly start one. I have an almost 15 week old girl Jody. My bf and I got her when she was 8weeks old. She trains well but is DEF going thru the stubborn phase. I think it would be good for her to be even more socialized especially with...

Collie people, height question!
Mal is 24" as of today- he'll be 8 months on 3/10. (we discovered this today when practice-measuring my friend's Dal and discovering Mal is TALLER than him- last week they were the same size!) Mal's dad Seely's not oversized. Do I need to worry?

Any breed guesses on Leo?
This is my older dog, Leo. What breeds would you guess he is? The rescue where we got him called him an Irish Wolfhound/Great Pyrennes, but I think there is something else to it. He's not incredibly tall--the height of a large lab, maybe, but heavy-set. He weighs about 120 lbs. He had double dew...

Help! What kind of Shepherd do I have???
We got our beautiful dog when she was 6 weeks old, she is now 7 months. Her mother and father look like regular German Shepherds, however Ophie and one of her brother came out different. With a really pretty blonde coat. We thought her parents were full German however looking at Ophie it looks like there...

What is Phoebe's breed(s)??
[&:] My boyfriend and I adopted this girl from the Animal Rescue League a couple of days ago. She is a peach (the sweetest dog I've ever had). She's about 25 lbs. and the ARL had her labeled as a 4 year old(ish) beagle. In person, she doesn't really look like one, though. It's hard...
