Mitsu was a shorthaired black-and-tan female Dachshund that our family had when we lived in South Africa. I think she was a miniature - in between a standard and the tiny type. She had really good proportions and a good looking head. Although it's been thirty years since I last saw her, she...

The sloped GSDs look like they would have more trouble with HD, but I guess appearances can be deceiving... I would imagine responsible breeders are doing what they can to minimize that problem in future generations. We like the way Comet looks without the slope. But then he's most likely not...

Hi all, What a great forum! Comet is an only dog at present and he loves it that way - he's been busy adapting to our new lifestyle living out of an RV and traveling the western US. Didn't take him long to figure out that our current location is jackrabbit chasing heaven! He's mostly...
