    Thanks for the kennel suggestions. Both look very impressive. I personally like the look of the Italian line dogs better but will be looking into both to find the right dog for us.

    I think he has decided that he is going to look into boxers. We are starting the research now. The trouble I think we are going to have is finding a reputable working kennel. Even if they aren't being worked in PP sport, I would like them to be worked in something that shows their stamina and...

    I am not sure why he is as lazy as he is. LOL He is an oversized boy at about 73lbs in good condition. He is a little winter heavy now at about 80lbs. A friend's daughter, who is a "breeder" gave him to us because she couldn't feed him anymore. He was 15 months old when we got him. He is 4...

    My husband is interested in getting into protection training for sport. He doesn't know what breed he would like to work with though. We are curious what breeds are best suited for this type of sport but fit roughly into our family requirements. We aren't opposed to working with a rescue dog...

    Is there a name for this color?

    She doesn't really look like that. She appears solid blue. It is only when you rub the fur back that you can see that on her shoulders and head the fur is really cream with dark blue tips. I am going to try to get a picture. here is a picture of the fur on her neck Here is a picture of her

    Is there a name for this color?

    Ok, I have a color question. I have a chihuahua that when you first look at her looks blue with tan points. If you look closely though on her shoulder blades if you rub the fur back her coat is actually cream colored and just the tips are blue. It is only on her shoulder blades and across the...

    Hey chi people- the age old question

    My aunt has an AKC registered chihuahua who besides being a different color looks exactly like that. He is 12 lbs and looks and acts nothing like a chihuahua. He was given to her but the previous owners paid over $1000 for this "purebred" chihuahua. My two chihuahuas are perfect specimens...

    Cane Corso info

    Thanks! I will check that out too. Nothing I like better than multiple sources for information. I am not a person who can rely on one perspective.;)

    Cane Corso info

    The temperament of your girls sounds like what I am looking for. I don't want a dog who is friendly with everyone. I love my APBTs but that is the one thing about them that I wish was different. I am fine with some level of DA as long as he can be friendly with my resident dogs when raised...

    Cane Corso info

    Thanks for the suggestion! I like the idea of working dogs and breeders who work only would take precedence to me over those who show only. I think the temperament of a dog who works would have to match what the dog was bred to do. JMO

    Cane Corso info

    As far as reputable goes I am looking for a breeder who has all breeding dogs health tested especially in hips. I would prefer a breeder who only has occasional litters and breeds for themselves first and is not trying to fill a puppy demand. I would like their dogs to be shown in sanctioned...

    Cane Corso info

    That is exactly my concern. I am hoping that if I take my time and research to death than I can hopefully find what I am looking for. If I don't then I will have to look into another breed because health and temperament aren't things that I am willing to gamble on with this breed.

    Cane Corso info

    My husband and I have been toying with the idea of our next dog being a Cane Corso. When I say next I mean it will be at least a few years. Some background on us: we have 5 children between the ages of 12 and 8 so by the time we are ready they will all be teenagers or close to it. We currently...

    Why Do Dogs Prefer Their Own Breed?

    Bo loves dogs of all kinds. He gets really excited to see them. The only breed that he didn't get all whiny about was a pug. It was almost like he didn't recognize it as a dog. It kinda made me laugh to see that he didn't seem to believe it was real. Maybe he thought it was a stuffed animal. It...

    Dont Get a (your breed here) If......

    Don't get an APBT (American Pit Bull Terrier) if you want to take your dog to dog parks and you don't want to seperate your dogs when they aren't being supervised.

    What could Sadie be?

    Her mama is a pit bull/boxer mix. Her daddy was supposedly their purebred APBT. The litter had 10 pups and she is the only one who didn't look like a pit bull. I have seen other pups from her litter when they were full grown and you would have never known that they weren't all pit bull. The same...

    What could Sadie be?

    This is my Sadie girl. She is a two year old mixed breed. I know what she is supposed to be but I don't think that is what she is. A little about her. She is about 50lbs. She is very springy. She moves like her feet have springs in them and she jumps sideways over the backs of the other dogs...
