Whos got a dog?
Im currently looking into getting a puppy and trying to find the right breed for us. It got me to thinking.
I know this might have been done in the past but members come and go, so.... I thought I'd post this up. Who has a Dog and what kind of dog is it? Please share a photos as well (if you have one). :biggrin: |

I'm pretty sure you can guess the breed...
At 4 months http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...a/DSCF0120.jpg At 7 months http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...hika/matia.jpg And the other one at 6 years. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...PICT0023-2.jpg |
I have a boxer. They make a great family dog for an active family although they don't make good jogging partners because they can overheat.
The downside is the medical issues they are one of a few breeds where everyone asks you if you have medical insurance :mrgreen: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...light034-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../june15006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../trixie001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...xmasresize.jpg |

One would think that all dogs do is sleep. :razz: HAH !
Carson - working bloodline GSD - needs job and solid training http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...ium/Moose3.jpg Stormy - rescue dobie - allergies to the tune of $400 per month - and she's worth every cent. Velco dog, very needy. http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...ium/Stormy.JPG One guy you might remember: Simon AKA Nitro King AAA rescue retired racer (RIP) - dumb but soft and gentle http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...dium/simon.jpg |
My wife and I have a pure bread miniature schnauzer. It doesn't shed, and it's smart so it's quick to housetrain.

I have a pure bred mini schauzer as well. he is not yappy, very smart came house trained at 10 weeks old. loves I mean loves other dogs and kids. goes everywhere with me. small enough to throw in to the tub too... he is 14inches tall 18lbs and does not shed make sure and spend lots of time with the parent dogs and learn their personalities. KAISER last summer http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/8...1mediumwi6.jpg and current- last week at the cabin!!! http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/6673/img4519uk6.jpg http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/5...6mediumna1.jpg |
Oh MAN. This thread is really making me re-think my cat-loving tendencies! Deb, I remember thinking Stormy was going to chew my leg off when I picked up that toadstool earlier this year!
Tons of beautiful animals here. That husky makes me smile. They all do :) |

This is Trip my pure bred Italian Greyhound. He's one and 3 months. Loves to run and play with other dogs.Very active and loves hanging out. He is a lap dog.

I have two big lovable dogs. Oreo is a greyhound and Bailey is a rhodesian ridgeback cross.
I got Bailey from a wonderful organization called Second Chance Rescue Animal Society. They have many puppies and dogs available for adoption. Their website is http://www.scarscare.org/ the price includes 1st vet visit/health check/vaccinations, microchip, and spay/neuter. These dogs are in foster homes and the people taking care of them will honestly answer any questions you might have about the dog in order to insure a good match. The people who work for this organization remind me of the people on this site, honest, caring, friendly and sincere. I hope everyone will check out their website and share it with their friends, trust me it's well worth it :biggrin: Look under the available dogs section on the top left hand side of the screen and see pic's of all the puppies/dogs/kittens/cats waiting to be adopted. Below Oreo is in the front and Bailey is behind her http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...ddict/dogs.jpg |
If your looking for something small and cute then maybe this is what your looking for
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...minnie0061.jpg but be warned, I was reading about a DNA study done on the different breeds of dogs. They discovered, DNA wise, a shih-tzu is more closely related to a wolf then a german shepard is :lol: |
Wow.. thanks for all the replies guys. There are some awesome dogs here.
Marie I love your boxer. She is exactly what I have wanted to get for the last 6 years. (same coloration and everything) I would prefer a dog that I can take jogging (and not have to push in the chariot) though so I am undecided as of yet. Deb I remember all those dogs. I always enjoy visiting with them when I come by. (If I could I'd have 3 or 4 dogs as well) jkhchris The Italian Greyhound is another breed we have been considering. Trip is awesome. I just may have to send you some further Q's by pm. Laurie I will definately take a look at the website you posted. It is great that there are those willing to give of their time for a great cause. Thanks. |

I would say Trip is the other way, can't deal with the cold to well but loves the heat.

I'm so glad you will take a look at the website. It really is a great cause especially when you read the rescue stories, although if you do read them make sure Kleenex is close by. On a positive note they have about 30 puppies to choose from and boy are they cute!!!

I'm going to see some Bullmastiff pups later this month, I might be bringing one of those home!
|
If I had a dog it would be a spoiled micro yorkie :)

We have a Shiba Inu and she is a great family dog. They have have a cat like personality and are very strong willed. You need to let them know who is Alpha and keep on top of it, they like to take control.

Funny you should ask - we have several puppies for sale right now. We like the smaller, quiet non-shedding lap dogs. They mature to around five pounds. If you would like to see more, check out my ad on www.kijiji.ca

Attachment 2334 Thats my dog Jaxon picked him up from the SPCA

dog
All these dogs and not one Lab..My personal fave is a black, or golden or yellow lab, maybe a chocolate too..Smart, great with kids, active and did I say smart. One of the most intelligent dogs out there. Used to take mine jogging and swimming. That was quite a few years ago and he has long since passed away but by far one of the best dogs I have ever had. I currently have a Shitzu/Chin cross and a Border Collie/Spaniel cross. Great dogs as well and our constant loyal companions. Can't imagine a house without a dog. We have 2 cats too and without trying to offend cat lovers I still prefer dogs.:mrgreen: Now watch the thread for cats jump up...:biggrin: :biggrin:

Here is a few pics of Jaime our sweet baby girl. http://www.muiscontrols.com/ryan/jaime_1.jpg http://www.muiscontrols.com/ryan/jaime_2.jpg |
I have a Cockerspanial, best dog I have owned. Very smart and very good with children etc..but also the most expensive dog I have owned. He has allergies and is prone to ear infections. Given the choice I would spend the money all over again though.
I'll post a pic when I get home. |
I adopted a boxer/staffy cross last month, great dog!

Mastiffs
I will second and third the Mastiff vote.I have a female that is the best dog ever.She has never raised an eyebrow at a child even when there jumping on her.She doesnt bark a lot like some dogs and appreciates her quiet time as much as I do.GL.Clint
