    Diana frm Toronto

    Hi, Diana, I'm also from Toronto. While I may not be "charming", my 3 little poodles certainly are. I think all of us Torontonians should get together and swap notes. Any takers?

    Hello from the cold Canada!

    yeah, Canada's been cold recently. my dogs complain every time I try to take them outside. poor things, I don't like it either.

    Hi, I'm CanadianFreeSpirit

    I have been away from here for far too long. my apologies. things have been topsy-turvey in my life recently, I'm even fighting a bedbug infestation. I inherited that from looking after a friends (some friend she turned out to be)dog while HER place was being fumigated for them. she assured...

    Could you date/marry/be with someone who was...

    I am bisexual. does that mean that I don't deserve to find love? I prefer women to men, but I seem to attract more men than women. right now I'm single, and I have no intention whatsoever of changing that. but that's just me. I do think it's very difficult for a bi person to be in a...

    What smaller breeds catch your interest? Post pics!

    since I live in a rather small apartment, it would be cruel for me to have the dogs I really want. which is to say, Standard Poodle, Afghan Hound, Flat-coat Retriever, and a presa. so, I'll stick with my toy poodles. maybe one day a Coton or a Bichon, but I think I have good luck with poodles...

    Tails

    I think the spitz dogs and Alaskan Malemutes have that kind of tail as well. Afghan hounds have talks that loop up over their backs, but not as tight as the other ones I've mentioned. oh, and Pekenise (which I almost certainly spelled incorrectly). they have tails that curl right up over...

    Favorite color in your breed?

    nothing catches my breath like a gorgeous inky black standard poodle. unless it's an Afghan of any colour.

    Would you ever sell a puppy to an owner unseen?

    the 3 dogs that I have right now (and plan to have for many more years) all came from the same breeder. I found her on line, and had multiple phone calls with her. the first time I called her, I told her that I was looking to buy a toy or t-cup poodle puppy on a non-breeding contract. that...

    Abusive Groomer!!!!!

    I was, for a time sending my dogs to a particular groomer that I found in the yellow pages. I have poodles, and I'm very particular about how I want them to look when the grooming is over. this woman teaches grooming, btw. she would pick up my dogs in the morning, keep them at the salon with...

    Poodles!

    my boys are all purebred, purchased on a non-breeding contract, so of course they are also neutered. I know that many bybs will not honour the non-breeding agreement, and I also know that you cannot register the offspring of such parents. it is also illegal to advertise them as "purebred"...

    Think I'm about to upset my Grandpa

    I NEVER go to family functions. my dogs are not allowed, and since I consider them my children, just as my siblings do their kids, well, I'm a "package deal". love me, love my dogs. or don't expect me to be around.

    Would you import a dog?

    I can't say for sure that I'm going to buy a presa, but if I did, chances are about 100% that it would be imported. I don't think there are many Afghan hound or Flat coat Retrievers locally, either, and I would probably want one or the other of those if I don't get a presa.

    Trying a New Browser

    I have a fairly new HP Vista. I was using IE7 on it, but then IE8 came out and I upgraded. Suddenly my yahoo mail wasn't working. I called my ISP, and found out that they don't support IE8 yet. so, by Hobsons Choice, I had to install Firefox. Slowly I'm learning how to use it, but there...

    Bad Dream? night terrors? WHAT?

    I'm sorry. I know that this is a very serious subject, and I don't mean to make light of it, but what you said about the regular pediatrician being on mat leave made me laugh. Talk about taking your work home with you. I'm glad to hear that Hannah hasn't had any more problems since that one...

    This is a good one.

    I would move her from the "dog savvy" list first. then I'd see if I could find her another crate. she's playing with fire. I don't even double-crate my toy poodles, and my crates are all for labs or bigger.

    I've heard of "pigs in a blanket", but that's a whole different thing there, isn't it?

    Question- renting and rare breeds...

    I've never heard of GSDs being restricted. where I live pits and staffies are "controlled" until extinct, and when the last one in the province dies, no more will be allowed. but I would like to own a presa one day. I've done a great deal of research, and have no doubt that I could make him a...

    Bad Dream? night terrors? WHAT?

    I hope it never happens again, so she won't have to tell you. next time you see the pediatrician, maybe you could ask about what her cognitive level is, because I don't know if a child that young can have such horrible dreams as you describe. what was her body like when you went to her...
