I know a beagle x Japanese chin that looks VERY similar to that that dog, color and all. It's a puppy mill designer dog.

Thought I would quit lurking long enough to share some pictures, most from our park visit yesterday. Everyone loves pictures, right? :) Did you say "park?" - GypPark by grinningd0g, on Flickr GypFall99 by grinningd0g, on Flickr GypFall66 by grinningd0g, on Flickr FallGyp1 by...

Haha. No. Not remotely. Which is funny, because we have similar tastes in just about everything else. He grew up with terriers and, thus, loves terriers. Funny thing is, the things he dislikes about his family dogs are mostly aspects of their inherent terrierness. So basically, he likes the...

PAST None. Somehow I made it to age 20 with no dogs in my life. Sad childhood, indeed. PRESENT Border collie/Australian shepherd mix FUTURE Silken windhound Greyhound Border collie (Maybe: borzoi, whippet)

This lurker is posting. We have no past dog sports. I've always been interested, though. Present: Agility. We've been into agility for all of three months, but Gyp and I are flying through the beginning levels. I knew she would be great and enjoy it, but I am astounded at the extent of...

I don't often post, but I saw this thread and had to comment. After tons of research, talking to owners, visiting a breeder's house, and going to a breed specialty, I am absolutely sure that my next dog will be a silken windhound. They're just delightful little dogs, gorgeous and possessing of...

Tough love was what worked best with Gypsy. When she was a pup, I just kinda held her down matter-of-fact, until she quit wiggling. Still behavior got treats. Misbehavior/wiggling/kicking got a tighter grip until she knocked it off. I talked to her in a gentle, happy way through the clipping. We...

She's obese, but not to the extent that I'd make a mental note of it, seeing her in a crowd. I see people her size all the time where I live. I'm more an abnormality at my my size (I'm pretty slim) than she is. I'd probably look at her because she's doing obviously out-of-place activities. It's...

Inspired by this thread, I purchased 5x blem hero air discs off of Amazon and am getting Gypsy interested. So far, so good. She loves jumping and catching them, though she's vastly limited by my crap throwing ability. Ha ha. Maan, I'd love to try those vaults, but with Gyp at ~43 lbs, I think...

Ahaha, the things people "know." But that class sounds like a blast! Is it for a veterinary program, or?

Not too many weird comments with Gypsy, actually. Which is good 'cause I wouldn't be able to handle the ignorance as smoothly as some of you people. When I'm offended, I tend to snap back with an over-harsh zinger. Heh. Folks get her breed half right, almost always. They guess border collie...

Not yet. Most definitely looking! As darling as Gypsy is, I don't want such a high energy breed for a looong time. I *think* I'm a sighthound girl, but we'll see.

I've been to multiple Planned Parenthoods, and I've had nothing but fantastic care from them. Better than many "traditional" medical practices.

I have really, really been wanting to get off of oral contraceptives for a while. No problems taking them on time, relatively few side effects, but the idea of pumping hormones into my body daily wigs me out. The blood clot risk is concerning, and I'd potentially be taking oral BC through...

I was disappointed with the hound group. I reallyreally loved that borzoi! Absolutely gorgeous! The whippet was also nice.

Yeah, DA is probably not something we'd want to deal with. A crate/rotate lifestyle is not for us. I'd constantly worry about aggression cropping up and one of the dogs getting injured.

Thank you, Catsi! Great suggestion! :) I think whippets are pretty healthy around here too. Most sighthounds are, one of the reasons I'm personally drawn to the group.

Carma is so gorgeous!

My fiance, like me, is a huge dog lover. He's had dogs growing up, and when we get a place together, he'd very much like to have one of his own. (Don't worry, we'll stagger the acquisitions of my new pup and his.) He's not quite as breed savvy as I am, so I suggested we ask my forums for...
