Show us your dogs!

Next to Corgis Goldens are my favorite breed. They have a rescue group here called TVGRR(TN Valley Golden Retriever Rescue) that come to one of the local pet stores the first Saturday of the month. Wonderful dogs and marvelous companions.

jadinolf, You may very well be right.

Nice picture, ColColt. Looks like a great buddy. He sounds like mine. Always starving, and you can't give him too much. Heck, he says he's never had enough, much less too much. I've never had a Corgi, but from everything I've heard they are great dogs and good friends. I think it is all in how they are raised.

My Cousin has 2 Pit Bulls. They are just as calm and docile as you could imagine. When he comes over, they chase me around,not much, I can't run far, then I fall down and the maul the heck out of me, just playing. I've never been bit or even nipped, even once. Some bad breeders have given some good dogs a bad name. No matter what breed of dog you have, you can teach them to be mean or teach them to be just fun loving pets. I'm just a dog lover at heart, of all breeds. In my opinion, there are no bad dogs, just bad people.

I honestly don't think Bubba has a stomach. It's an endless barrel with no bottom. Corgis are a blast to watch them run. They run like a rabbit with both hind legs hitting the ground at the same time but don't let those short legs fool you. They can run faster than you'd think. Bred as herding dogs I suppose they have to run well to get away from cattle kicks.

Pit bulls have taken a bad rap for a long time. When I think of docile Pit Bulls I think of Petey on the Little Rascals and Cesar Millan's late dog, Daddy. I've watched the Dog Whisperer for years and never saw an aggressive move from him at all.

In my opinion, there are no bad dogs, just bad people.

I think for the most part that's true but there's good and bad in the canine world just like with humans. I definitely don't believe that ALL Pit Bulls are killers either. the only time I was ever bitten, totally unprovoked, was from a Heinz 57 dog across the street who nailed my leg and arm just as I had gotten my mail and turned to go back inside the house.

Thanks Bill. I take that as a compliment coming from a dog 'person' like you.

I don't think so. I'm still watching the site.

Those pictures and the text are great.

I've reached this so far.

Here's Quo, she's a five-month-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier named after my favourite band. These photos are a couple of weeks old and it's pretty hard to get a decent one of her staying still while she's awake!





Here's my old German Shepherd, he was also called Quo (the kids wanted to use that name for our new dog). He was a brilliant dog, still miss him to this day.

Nice dogs, Gav. They look very nice. I lost 2 Golden's and it almost killed me., If I think of them, I still cry to this day. And, I'm not ashamed to admit it. I loved those dogs, just like I love mine now.

I understand completely.

I still cry over Fred I (The King)

I loved him so much and I know the feeling was mutual.

Quo 1 is still alive, he's ten now. We had to let him go when the wife fell pregnant with our oldest daughter as the place we were living at the time was way too small for a baby and a big dog. A friend of mine had him as I knew he would be looked after and we still saw him regularly but he's long since moved away now.
It still kills me that we couldn't keep him, he was such a good dog, majestic and very loyal. I miss him every single day, we still have photos of him around the place.

Great dogs Gav

I love Alsatians. They are very proud looking dogs. We don't have any now we're not fit enough to be able to exercise them but the last dogs we had were a couple of lurchers.

 

[kronckew]

...I love Alsatians...

it's safe to call them 'german shepherds' again. they were called alsatians during the wars with germany as a political correctness. now that we are in the EU and allied, calling them german shepherds is 'in' again.

taking my lurcher (Poppy - see post no.90 above) on walks helps me keep some fitness now that i am retired. she still walks about 5 times further than i do on her long lead. letting her run free in fenced areas also helps keep her fit. i use a tennis ball thrower so i can throw further to make her run & her 'job' is to carry the ball home to our flat. she tends to forget and drop it on occasion when she gets inside, but remembers if i ask her where her ball is, she then goes back for it.

we had one guy in our apt. block that walked his greyhound from a mobility scooter as he couldn't walk very far on his own.

she also helps keep me sane (or at least as sane as i normally was).
