Oh my goodness, this is too good! Which side is winning, I wonder?

She is absolutely stunning!

I don't think I've ever gotten a picture of either of my two ACTUALLY in a stack, but here are some pictures of them from the side. Chalo Breed: Africanis/African village dog (born in Malawi) Age: almost 3 Sex: M, neutered Weight: 53 lb. Height: 25 in. Priya Breed...

For Chalo, just a flat collar and 5-foot leash. Usually a martingale for Priya. Neither have them have ever tried to back out of a collar, but she is the less predictable of the two/a greater flight risk if she did get loose. If we're hiking in an area where they both need to be on leash...

They are both SO beautiful, and the family resemblance is pretty striking! The wine pictures are hilarious.

Anything really high energy, high drive, and vocal. Anything that pesters you with tennis balls and tirelessly begs you to play fetch. That would be...a pretty weird transition from my current two. Even just being *around* dogs like that throws me for a loop these days. All of the young...

I feel a little bit guilty that Priya is a rescue from India. I only consciously think about it when I explain her history and a see a wave of confusion and "why would you do that?" pass over people's faces. (Some of the reactions are stronger than that -- like the woman who said, "I would...

Bare minimum on the worst, coldest, busiest winter days: a 20-minute walk and short potty breaks. Hopefully some training and a few minutes of flirt pole indoors. I don't like to have too many days in a row like that, but if it happens it happens. They're very flexible and don't start bouncing...

WOW, that's pretty amazing!

SO, so gorgeous. I especially love the ones of Onyx trying to join you on the slackline! (Something tells me she could probably learn how to do it, with that brilliant malinois brain.)

For food, chews, treats, etc: Chewy and Amazon. For leashes and collars: small businesses (especially on Etsy!). Favorites include Pear Tannery, Master's Pride, and Stibbar for leather goods; Hamilton Hounds and Dutch & Co. for martingales/limited slips.

I'm also quite new! (Or rather, a frequent lurker but a very infrequent poster.) Chalo - 2.5 year old African village dog purchased for a dollar while I was serving in the Peace Corps in Malawi. Basically my heart and soul. Priya - 1(ish?) year old Indian pariah dog from New Delhi...

I haven't owned dogs long enough to have established any firm, longstanding preferences, but I definitely find myself drawn to sighthound types. They're my aesthetic ideal, and temperament-wise I like cuddly, quiet, soft personalities who arc toward being aloof or indifferent to strangers...

I LOVE the name Mushu.

I don't really have a breed, but a type -- two pariah dogs, one from Malawi and one from India. There do present challenges I could do without (dead-serious prey drive being the biggest one) but there's lots to love. Moderate to low energy, innately good at settling and relaxing, easily...

So gorgeous! The dandelion crown, the collar, that cinnamon-colored coat -- everything.

Such a good boy!

I have yet to discover any secret. I use a curry comb, Furminator, and grooming block (like a pumice stone, intended for grooming horses) for Chalo's short double coat. He pretty much sheds year-round no matter what the season. Priya has a single coat that seems (so far) to be much more...

Chalo definitely has a vigilant, serious, growly "edge" around the house, more so than I'd really like. It might be founded in insecurity on some level, and it's very much specific to our property. He's fine with meeting people at the door, but I do NOT let people meet him in our yard. I'm not...

They're all so incredibly gorgeous! Can I ask how Cricket came into your life? I'm not quite in a position to add a second dog yet, but I have to admit that my recent Google history includes some searches on Mexican street dog rescues...
