Posted to: News & Entertainment

A Benny brag (agility)
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Tonight was Benny's first night of agility class. He did EXCELLENT!! I am soooo proud of him. The trainer was really impressed (This is the same facility where he took beginners and advanced and got his CGC from). She started us with the table, which startled him at first, but he was fine after...

Would you prefer a shelter/rescue or breeder pup?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Just wondering...I know many of us got our dogs from different places; shelters, breeders, friends, found, etc, etc, etc. But, where would you prefer to get a dog from? EXAMPLE: Shelter dogs (usually) have an unknown history, you won't know the exact breed, size, temperment, but you will be saving...

The Name Dufrene (Dufrayne, Dufresne) Do you know it?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I have this image in my mind of a man saying the name Dufresne (pronounced DooFrayne) with a thick southern accent and I cannot figure out where I have seen/heard it. It's not Andy Dufresne from the Shawshank Redemption and it's not Wylie Dufresne, the chef. It may even be the guy's first...

Hill's z/d

This might be sort of an odd question. But, has anyone whose dog is allergic or sensitive to chicken tried this? If so, did your dog react to it or did they do OK. Thanks.

Cold weather breeds in hot climates?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Living in south central Texas I always wonder why some people breed and sell northern type breeds such as huskies here. I am not trying to cause any problem; I know when decent pet parents relocate their pets move with them. You can find them in shelters, Animal Control picks them up off the streets...

Rescue dog breed identification help.
Posted to: Choosing A Dog
We are rescuing a puppy from a shelter in an area of our state (Missouri) that is known to have a bazillion back-yard-breeders. They get lots of breeder dump puppies. So sad. Anyway, we're adopting a puppy who was listed on petfinder as a Giant Schnauzer/Standard Poodle mix. I have serious animal...

Your breed, then and now
Posted to: Choosing A Dog
I thought it would be fun to have a thread with pictures comparing dogs of long ago and dogs from today. You can chose pictures to emphasize how much the breed has changed, or how little. So of course I get to start. Samoyeds then and now. And how about a side game? We can try to guess what era the...
