I only took the first one so far, and got 16 out of 20 right. I'll probably take more later. Fun!

Well, I've actually had to make plans since I'm battling cancer. Gizmo and Gus would stay here in the home with Oliver. However, Boone would be going to a wonderful friend, with the blessing of his breeder. This person was the owner of his grand-sire, and is currently dogless. Boone would be OK...

Currently have a liver Flat Coated Retriever, a GSD and a shepherd mix. Not too distant future will be another Flatcoat. Little more distant future will probably be in Irish Red & White Setter.

I also say to let the breeder know. Even though you can't be sure if the elbow problem is genetic or related to an injury, since they didn't test the dam's elbows prior to the litter being born, hopefully they'll get it done now. Responsible breeders want to know what they're producing. And they...

Knew she wouldn't be there long. Hope they can track down the breeder, who'd probably be horrified to know one of their pups landed there. I know in my breed (Flatcoats), which is pretty uncommon, as soon as one is spotted on craigslist, petfinder, or anywhere, we are on it and the dog is...

Looking at it from the other side, I really don't like it when I go to somebody else's house and their dog jumps on me when I come in. Also if they bark a lot, are possessive of their owner or the furniture (i.e., growl at me when I hug the owner or try to sit down). If I'm eating and they beg...

Very possibly. My Boone's sire is a British dog, and his breeders work and show all of their dogs, which they think is very important, and I agree. They've got some real beauties. What I'd really like to do is to go over there when they've got a litter, spend a week or two seeing how they train...

I would have asked if it was an Anatolian Shepherd, and it would have been a compliment, even if wrong, as they are beautiful dogs!

I frequently see posts on CL from people giving some story to try to raise money. Bet that's what they're trying to do. Scamming. Well, you tried to help.

Congratulations! Mom is gorgeous and the pups are darling, of course. Hope all goes well with the pregnancy and delivery, and can't wait to see new puppy pics :)

Absolutely disgusting. I check these sites out just to make sure my breed doesn't start showing up.

Not much cuter than a GSD pup, especially that one with ears going in different directions -- too adorable! I think that it's great that he went with a breeder and in fact had those with experience check them out for him. From the website, their dogs appear to be European working lines, not...

CharlieDog, here's a guy for you, Jerry Day. He's a member of my training club (Old South Hunting Retriever Club), a trainer and a super guy. We train monthly, usually at his place which is not far from Newnan. You don't say in Georgia where you're located. I also know of another trainer in...

I've never shot anything in my life, and don't plan to. We train using bumpers and dokkens. It's what the dogs are bred to do, and nothing gets them more excited. But there are plenty of things out there that you can do that you'll both enjoy. Tracking is an excellent choice as your dog gets...

I didn't see the episode you're talking about. I did see a different one, also in Philadelphia, where the couple had their dog attacked by a neighbor with a machete. Thankfully the dog healed up OK, but I just felt so bad for the couple, that they were being threatened by the attacker and his...

Oh yeah, the term "guardian" really bugs me. Again it's a matter of semantics and I really don't say anything about it to people who are so proud of their "rescued" dog. But a lot of these dogs were never really in any danger of being PTS, like my Gus for example. A rescue group got hold of a...

You need to go over to the retriever training forums (google it) as they have some classifieds there. Those will be working line dogs, but there are always lower drive dogs that would be a little easier to handle. Are you planning on working your dog at all? Nothing better than giving your dog...

I'm seeing Boxer and Mastiff. He's handsome!

I read that earlier today too. How wonderful is that?! At least one of the pups looks like a Beagle, and a pretty young one at that. Hope they are appropriately rewarded!

I am so sorry that happened to that dog, but as most here have already said, things can happen that would have happened even if the dog was inside. I have a secure fence, with locks. My dogs, especially Gus the GSD, really like to be outside for a great deal of the day. It's getting cold now...
