My lover boy! This photo was just too good not to share, and he loves to pose for the camera. :) PS: I wish I could see everybody else's photos, but my office has blocked most photo sharing sites. I found this sight that they haven't blocked, yet. :)

I'm an old lady and prone to worrying about my doggies. Well, I just notice on one of my dogs a very very warm spot between his shoulder blades. (Not a small spot, my entire hand was hot touching him there. This was Tuesday night. Wednesday morning I checked again and it seemed normal...

My coworker sent me a list of the top 10 smartest dog breeds. I've seen these before, but this new list was very interesting. It included Australian Kelpie, Beauceron, and Belgian Malinois! Of course, I can't find the list now that I've deleted his email, but I found this. It's the same...

I had to take my boy to the vet this morning due to limp tail and crying. Turns out he injured his tail near the base on Sunday, or perhaps Saturday night. Anybody have any ideas how this happened? I have no clue! But it explains his DQ in obedience on Sunday morning. Poor dog, I was ready...

Well, I was so happy when my vet complimented my Malinois yesterday. My girl is over 7 years old and the vet said, "She certainly doesn't look like she's an 8 year old dog." The assistant added, "She doesn't act like it either!" LOL! I've been going to this vet for 4 years, she's...

The Detroit Kennel Club is having it's March shows on the 2nd and 3rd. This is a benched show for the public to meet the dogs and owners to ask questions about the breeds. All dogs have to be there until 5 pm. In addition, there will be a Meet the Breeds section for the FSS breeds...

I've been working with my Dutch boy, Boaz, on Rally and Obedience, now that we've almost eliminated conformation showing from our schedule. Hopefully, he'll finish his RE next week, fingers crossed! And I planned to enter him in Beginner Novice soon to see how that went. I took him to my...

I took my dogs to the outdoor mall yesterday. It was very crowded, so the dogs were really too distracted for good photos. I might go back tomorrow and get some good photos for next year.

Well, maybe I'll post my Rally scores from last weekend. LOL! After training off leash at my club and in my living room all week, we scored a passing, but embarassing 72 (last place) on Saturday and 76 on Sunday. However, the 76 was third place, so we weren't the only ones. LOL! It was...

Has anybody else noticed recently there seems to be a trend towards BIG dogs? It seems like a lot of people are getting Mastiffs of some sort, or the Newfie, St. Bernard, Great White Pyrenese breeds these days. In my neighborhood there's a new Saint Bernard,and also some kind of Mastiff...

Well, I did the coursing test with my Laekenois last Saturday and he was AWESOME! He was really enjoying the chase and catching up to the lures, when the operator punched the speed and off he went like a rocket! I think he was a little sore on Sunday. I walked him for a long time afterwards...

On Saturday, the Dutch Shepherd made an appearance at an AKC conformation show for the first time! One short-hair, Small Yard's Boaz (m), and 2 long-hairs, Dutch Masters' BB's Lucille (f), and Faimshey's Cailin Donja (f), were entered at the Piedmont Kennel Club show in Charlotte, North...

I can't run very fast, but anytime agility is on tv I have to watch it. I get so caught up in it. There is a Dutch Shepherd on the Estonia team for the FCI World Agility Championships, so I bought the pay-for online video package so I can watch it live, and also watch the videos for the...

I'm taking my Laekenois to a CAT on Saturday in Charlotte, NC. Do you think it will make him a better rabbit hunter? I don't think I want that. Right now he sees the rabbit, and then tries to scent it's location. Of course, that doesn't work.

Lately, one of my dogs is on restricted exercise. So he won't get lonely, I have had all 3 dogs sleeping on the first floor. (I sleep upstairs.) Well, this results in a better night's sleep for me because I'm not being awakened to let my female out to potty at 4 am. But, instead, she poops by...

My poor Laekenois went to the vet for surgery Tuesday. I brought him in because he had a hole in his hip. I could stick my finger right in it. What bothers me is, for as much grooming and loving that dog gets, I never even saw or felt it until he started licking it on Tuesday and it was...

Puppies! My Malinois 7 years ago, and my Dutch 2 years ago. At the field in the weeds. In the yard. At the river.

I am starting the process of organizing my club's first unsanctioned match. I have been browsing the National Specialty websites for other breeds and wonder if any of you guys can answer my questions. First, what is a "sweepstakes"? It seems to usually involve puppies. Second...

Well, I have been poking around here again since I found the most recent Laekenois question through a Google search. Back in 2009 I posted about my boy, Balto the Magnificent. He is still magnificent and the best dog in the world. http://www.chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98959 I...

All 4 Belgian Varieties at the Temperament Test in Alvin, Texas. If you're wondering about my dogs' postures, Balto cut a pad running on the Galveston beach and Ciana had elbow surgery and tends to favor that leg. My two are the ones on the left. Though, I think this picture is...
