What is a Bhutia? Hi Barb and RD, Thanks for your messages - Bhutias are an Indian/Tibetan breed. I'm not sure if they're official but I do believe they are categorised as molosser dogs. I think they're closely related to the Tibetan Mastiff and Himalayan Sheep Dog. I'm copying and...

And yet more pics!! So I've finished uploading photos of all the adult dogs in my home (13 total) ... enjoy!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/kishmish Now for the puppies!!!

Hello again, Long time since I've visited. Toosh's pups are now 4 months old and almost as big as the adult dogs. For people who don't know me I have 16 Bhutias out of which three are 4 months old and the rest are about seven years old. I've posted more photos on my flickr site -...

Hi Nedim, They're an Indian breed called Bhutia. Some of them are also called Gaddi (the short haired ones). They're used up in the mountains to protect shepherds and their flocks from leopards and other predators. They aren't quite recognised as a pedigree though, but they should be...

Don't worry about it Debi! I seem to be on a shorter fuse these days because of sleep deprivation! "Puppy porn" has become a sort of inside joke with my family and I just didn't think when I used it as a title! No worries! :)

Debi, Mojozen & Bubbatd: Why would I waste everyone's time by posting a hoax? The previous litters came to us when they were very young, did NOT have a mother to feed from, which is why I wasn't too worried. The new puppies DO have a mother, and I was wondering why they seem to be exhibiting...

Mine have never done this! I have never had that problem, and I have a whole bunch of dogs - 13 of them actually - and they have NEVER eaten their poop - they'll sniff at it but give the pile a really disgusted look and walk off. I've heard it's a symptom of some vitamin deficiency so...

I can't really separate them though - they need to learn socialising thoroughly because at least two of the litter will be integrated into the existing pack, plus if I take ANY of the puppies away, and they squeal, their mom gets totally frantic and upset... and I'm really attached to her and if...

Do you have any preferences like does it have to be an English name? or would a Hindi (Indian) or Thai or Italian one do? Eclectic mix I know but I can suggest a couple in all three!!

How about 20?!! Congratulations on the new puppy - and good luck with the housebreaking!! I would have definitely recommended more than one dog - I have 20 (yes, that's right!) - 13 full grown bhutias and 7 puppies... I wouldn't recommend having that many though - grooming takes forever...

Those are great photos! I wish my dogs would play with toys, whips ANYTHING really, but they all grew up in a pack so they'd rather chew on each other!! You have absolutely beautiful dogs!

Okay, so I went through a similar thing when I first got my dogs (we got my first lot of 5 puppies when they were only 4 weeks old, the second lot of 4 when they were just over 2 weeks old and the last two lots were 4 weeks as well). The first lot of 5 were potty trained really quickly and...

Thanks a ton Kama, I recently splurged on a DSLR after my boyfriend got me hooked to photography, so your encouragement is ... well... encouraging!! More to come soon - I'm taking language lessons on the weekends so I really have no time for anything besides puppy-sitting and going over my...

More photos!! I just posted some links to more photos: check out my post here - http://www.chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?p=252229#poststop

More Photos! Hi everyone!! Thanks for the overwhelming response to my babies!! :) I've started uploading my photos to the web (I still have some editing to do!) but for now you can check out more photos of Tagadu, Toosh and the new babies at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kishmish/...

Thanks Ruby, they are absolutely lovely in temperament. I'm going to copy and paste something I wrote earlier to give you an idea of what they're like - I can't write anymore right now - am wrecked from all the puppy-sitting! "Like with most dogs bred for aggression-related work (shepherds...

Thanks dizzy - your dog looks like quite the character too - i LOVE his ears!

Photos Hey, thanks again! i'll keep you posted! I've posted some photos of my babies in the introduction forum - here's the link: http://www.chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19824 enjoy!! :)

Photos hi everyone, thanks for the welcome! it would be impossible for me to post photos of all our dogs today - there are so many!! here are a couple of my favourites: the blonde bhutia is "Toosh" - alpha female, so affectionate and is the one currently nursing seven pups. The black...

hey thanks, that sounds like a good idea. any suggestions on when to start doing this? (the babies are still very young, they sort of propel themselves around by their hind legs but their eyes are still closed) thanks again! i'll post photos once i get over the sleep deprivation!
