    Let's Talk Ibizan Hounds!

    Cool. This kind of temperament is something I'm happy to work with. Shibas tend to be dog aggressive, so aggression in and of itself isn't a deal-breaker to me, but I'd rather stack the odds in my favor if I decided to bring a bigger dog into the mix with my Shibas. Sounds like researching lines...

    Let's Talk Ibizan Hounds!

    Thanks for all of the chiming in guys! I'm really appreciating it. :) Wow. I might have to look into it then! To be perfectly honest, the biggest obstacle I will have to get past is my own fear of letting go of the lead. Shiba owners are pretty much hard wired to fear off-lead situations...

    Let's Talk Ibizan Hounds!

    I can't wait for them to start sharing! I really would love to get into lure coursing. That's one of the reasons I keep coming back to the idea of adding one sighthound...just for something a little different. Granted, I could probably look into doing a CAT for Ringo, but I'm trying to focus...

    Let's Talk Ibizan Hounds!

    Hey everyone! I am semi-new to the forum (I took a long sabbatical haha), but I am back and so excited to talk dogs. One thing I really enjoyed about this place was the fact that 9 times out of 10, if you had a question about any breed of dog out there, there was bound to be SOMEONE who...

    Sizzle, she is beautiful! Really balanced, and I LOVE her neck and front. You can tell she's a girl, but she doesn't come across as *overly* stylized and weak. I feel like I've seen some dobe b!tches lately that are feminine to the point of practically looking like greyhounds! I would happily...

    Conformation handling

    No worries! WKC's website isn't always the easiest to navigate, and honestly, you would think there would be MORE available on Youtube, but there isn't a whole lot. Watching all-breed judging is helpful too, but I think it's important to get a general idea of how your breed is shown...

    Ringo isn't even finished yet, and I am already excited about the idea of agility and lure coursing with him! I just have to get over that in-built fear every Shiba owner has about having their dog off lead, haha. I can only imagine the fun you're going to have with Kaylee. Dobes must be fun to...

    Skip Youtube and go straight to the source for some good video! http://www.westminsterkennelclub.org/videos/Breed%20Judging/2013/Herding/vid:2624785 That link should take you directly to breed judging for ACDs. :) Keep in mind that not everyone you see will be a great handler. The...

    Wedding band help!

    I know you said you wanted to go with a name brand jeweler, but just in case I will offer another option! :) My husband and I had our rings custom designed by a college professor of mine. He does incredible work, and when V's ring lost a stone, we just sent it back to Jim to fit a new one...

    What chews do you use?

    Himalayan chews are my new obsession. Okay, maybe Ringo's new obsession. I get the ones made for 45-60 pound dogs, because he tends to chew hard and I worry about choking. I also want them to last. One chew probably lasts a good 3 days. He also uses bully sticks, which last around 2 days. The...

    LOVE this photo! You will have to give me a bit of a rundown on if you're showing any of your dogs these days? They're really stunning. Also, I am going to have to live vicariously through you when you get that Ibizan puppy! They're just gorgeous animals, and I keep telling myself one day...

    Hi There :)

    Aww thank you Zoom! I have missed talking to kindred spirits about dogs. You can only do so many Facebook posts before people start glazing over, hahaha. And thank you about Tai. He lived a rich life, and told us when it was time, but it was still hard. There are days when I STILL get choked...

    Hi There :)

    Okay...second attempt at a photo...LOL.

    Hi There :)

    Thanks for the welcome guys! I am going to attempt to post pictures...Facebook and Instagram have forever ruined me with their ease, and now I'm going to have to dig deep to remember how to post here, haha. Sizzle!!! I see your crew has grown quite a bit since I was last here! They're all...

    Hi There :)

    Hi everyone! I was a member here many, many moons ago. Life got a little bit crazy (finished school, got married, moved to another country, and eventually moved back), and checking Chaz just fell by the wayside. Things have settled down a little bit now that I've moved back to the states...

    Any runners here?

    Hey GO- I've been running x-country and track since seventh grade, and I'm just finishing up my last year on my University's cross team as well (sad...looks like it's time to start training for individual road races now) Shin splints occur when the muscle begins to pull away from the...

    My personal Life Motto

    This kind of irks me- and then I promise I'll drop it. How on Earth would you propose to know that we can't laugh at ourselves, purely because we didn't find this ONE effort amusing? It wasn't even the THREAD itself that bugged me- it was the REACTIONS of people towards those that DIDN'T find...

    My personal Life Motto

    Sure, if I realize that what I thought was funny, they found hurtful. But that's just me. :) I actually DO have a tendency to make jokes that end up inapproriately hurting friends and acquaintances- and when I find that they're hurt, I take steps to remedy that situation. The same approach isn't...
