    Laekenois

    My mother-in-law has 2 boys...littermates. They're 7-8 mos. old now and a hoot. Very typical herding breed. They both like people but one is slower to warm up to strangers. Both are excellent with their human kids and adore them...bright guys. And yes, you have to strip the coat. Some are...

    Health Testing Pets

    We CERF and BAER test all of our pups before they leave. Hips are done on adults and although it'd be nice if everyone did it, it's not a requirement for puppy buyers. Anything we keep, though, is OFAed and many of our puppy buyers do OFA because they do a lot work/performance.

    How's this for an "accurate" breed listing?...

    Yup....if that's a PON, my PON must be a horrible representation of the breed! Oh my.....:) They must have been heading for "pointer." She looks awfully sweet.....but not too fluffy.

    :( My phone is smashed...

    Go Otterbox! I am also the biggest klutz in the world and am paranoid about my iphone...or at least was paranoid. I totally second the recommendation of the otterbox. 60.00 was worth the peace of mind! If you get the black and white one, though, at some point it will strike you that your...

    Tea

    I adore pg tips for general tea drinking...and rotate through a variety of herbal teas when I don't want caffiene. I used to be a big Barrys fan for black tea but now only drink pg tips. And there is nothing nastier than microwave tea in a styrofoam cup!

    Not Neutered Dog.. Is this Normal? and will neutering change him?

    I didn't neuter my bc boy until he was 6 or so. He's always been very laid back and lived with a house full of intact girls without incident. I finally decided that since I was never going to breed him, and since I usually had one or more intact girls in my house, it would just be easier to...

    Crazy Border Collie Owners

    There have been times when I've read a border collie book, then looked at the guys asleep at my feet, and wondered if they were really the same breed. I "married into" lhasas and showed them for years. When I decided to get my first border collie, my lhasa friends treated me as if I had...

    How long are your dogs home alone?

    not so much anymore Since my mom lives with us they aren't alone at home. However, before she retired, they'd be alone for 7.5 hours when I was teaching and it was fine. Now that mom is home she reports that as soon as I walk out the door in the morning with the human kids, they dogs all go...

    Dont want to support show breeders

    My m-i-l breeds kerry blues and they can be a handful. The males can be dog aggressive but the girls are usually a bit better. They are a bit more laid back than some other terriers, but still full of fire. There are always exceptions to the rule, though, and she's had some fiesty girls and...

    What does your dog's name mean?

    my crew With my crew it's not really what their names mean in general, but what they mean to me. Possum: well, she looked like a baby possum when she was born. She had another more beautiful name, but we called her Possum as a joke, and it stuck. Finally at 3 mos. we just made it...
