    Tamaskan on NH Craigslist?

    I know I don't post here much, but I stumbled across this ad and... well... I was pretty surprised. Tamaskan are rare, aren't they? I don't know anything about the breed club, but I'd assume the breeder would want him back. Young, pretty guy, too. http://nh.craigslist.org/pet/4348032137.html

    Lagotto Romagnolo

    Yeah, I keep Sam in at about 1/2 in of hair on his body most of the time because I won't give up the harness. He chokes himself too easily, the doofus. I've drooled over the Les Poochs brushes forever, but it hasn't been in the budget lately. A little more back on topic - I know some of the...

    Lagotto Romagnolo

    Haha, tell me about it! Based on the paperwork his last owner gave us, Sam's originally from a 'professional' BYB... and it shows. At least his breeder was paying SOME attention to temperament, but his coat's a nightmare! He'll be two in the summer, and I'm afraid I'll be stuck with this soft...

    Lagotto Romagnolo

    He's probably my favorite male! I'm a sucker for the browns and dark roans.

    Lagotto Romagnolo

    I'm swooning over these puppies right now: http://www.digndogs.com/available-puppies.html Carmela and Meadow are my favorites! <3 Their dogs are Swedish stock, too, and since I'll be in Norway... well, who knows?

    Lagotto Romagnolo

    Yeah, I'm in the states and was last seriously looking a couple years ago (we've had Samwise over a year now, goodness!), before/during when Lagotto were accepted into the AKC, so some of my info could definitely be out of date or irrelevant to the CKC dogs. I know that one of the major breeders...

    Lagotto Romagnolo

    I've been mooning over Lagotto for years. The major reason they weren't my first dog was the price - because getting quality dogs so often means importing them, and because there's so few shows in the states where they can be finished, the price tag is often around 2k for a pet quality dog. I...

    Advice for major life changes with a dog

    Thank you for the reply! I'll try to keep his routine steady, though it'll be difficult considering my partner and I split responsibilities now, and she's been home 24/7 for the two months she's been out of work. He does have his crate, but despite playing all kinds of crate games, he's never...

    Advice for major life changes with a dog

    Okay, I know I'm pretty new to the forum, and haven't been as active as I'd planned due to some major rl things cropping up, but I don't know anywhere else I can go to for advice on this. Long story short, my Norwegian partner - let's call her T - lost her job in May, and despite her best...

    1st world dog problems

    So familiar! :rofl1: Except right now it's the apple and cheese frozen dog yogurt cups we bought... Sam acts like it's our fault that he can't reach all the drips he gets on top of his nose.

    The Good News thread

    A couple days late, but DOMA was overturned! It might be too late for me and my partner, due to financial issues, but considering all the other binational gay couples that will finally be able to legally apply for a green card based on marriage... I'd say that's the best news I've had in the...

    Bras for the well endowed

    Because of the way I carry weight, I have, er, generous boobs, a tiny ribcage, and small shoulders. I feel your pain. I haven't gotten new bras since I left college and moved away from Gazebo - the most awesome bra shop I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. They'll even do alterations on any...

    How does this HAPPEN?

    So, this has a bit of a prequel. A week or two ago, I came back from my break at work to hear that my coworker had witnessed a 'big dog' (she's a cat person) jump from a car across and attack a woman :eek:. Turns out she was walking her small dog, so my best guess at the time was that it'd...

    Nails

    Less often than I should... usually every two weeks? I'll go through phases of not doing it for long enough for him to start clicking, then I'll trim them every couple days (in tiny increments) to get the quick back... and then I get lazy again XD. We have a dremel, but haven't done the work...

    Girl is on fire

    Wow! She's fantastic - that focus! That video of you two working is wonderful. She definitely loves what she's doing, and who she's doing it with!

    Samwise the Brave

    Just testing out my signature! And just in case it doesn't work, here's a couple pictures to make up for it. Sam as a young puppy, with my partner. He was so fluffy! And much more recent. The ridiculous positions he gets himself in when he absolutely MUST sleep between us...

    Chicken bones... sigh

    Thanks for the reassurance. He's acting normally, so with any luck everything will pass though. I just hate that we can't go to his favorite pet store or down to the river park without hitting the danger zone for discarded chicken.

    Chicken bones... sigh

    I just baked a batch of biscuits for Sam, because we didn't have anything else on hand to pad his stomach after he got a hold of a cooked chicken bone fragment :rolleyes:. Unfortunately, the route to some of our favorite walking spots goes right past a big grocery store, and it's not uncommon...

    Is your dog normal for it's type?

    Samwise was a Craigslist puppy, though I did get his breeder's info from his previous owner. Let's just say that if I was looking to buy directly from a breeder? His would be on the 'not in a million years' list. No titles, no health testing, lots of litters, and a whole mess of different...
