Every cocker spaniel I've ever known was a biter.
I like mixed mutts. They're healthier and usually smarter than purebred dogs.  Attached File |

My cocker died a couple months ago. Had fun for 15 years. He was an absolutely fabulous dog in every way. I would have anothe cocker in a heartbeat.

For all the fans of cockers.
This is Daisy when she was a pup. 4yrs old now. She is our 2nd   This is Maggie. We lost her last year just before she turned 16. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog.   I posted pictures of our newest pup on pg1 |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I would have to move to take a photo and then the Dalmatian asleep on the couch next to me would move. I will say she does indeed draw attention with lots of folks remarking that they cannot remember the last time they saw a Dalmatian. Our farmers market, if it ever opens this year, has turned into a neat amateur dog show. The Great Dane people get together, Dalmatians, lots of Pomeranians in Radio Flyer wagons. |

My last pooch was an American Eskimo-Chow cross. She looked exactly like your Esky except her coat was Chow Chow fawn color. I haven’t seen as many chows over the past few years. When volunteering as a medic, a twelve year old girl got bit. She was getting shocky, sweating and pale. When I unwrapped the towel her mother had wrapped her leg with, her calf muscle had been detached below her knee and it almost fell out of the towel. I got it wrapped back with the towel and wrapped over it with curlex. Dog was a neighbors and their daughter took the girl who got bit into their back yard. Dog attacked without provocation. The girl was in surgery a couple of hours later. Too hot down her for those dogs and they seem to be aggressive to begin with. |

They were incredibly lazy most of the time and would just lay on the floor where the sun came in from the windows. We had an above ground pool in the backyard that they turned into their very own track and would run laps around it. Then come back inside and lay on the floor in the sun. They were great with all of us kids and would let us lay on them and do anything except touch their ears. They were good dogs. I haven't seen one in a while though. |

Glad to see Shelties didn’t make anyone’s list. I love this breed. Loyal and selfless to the end. 36 years having them in my life. The “pack” mentality is strong. They eat and drink from the same bowls. All they want is to be with you, and you with them.

We have a Catahoula/Black mouth cur cross. It is an interesting cross. A lot of the Catahoula drive but some what controllable.
My Dad has a major problem with Komondors. He has three full blood and two komondor/poodle crosses right now. Neat dog. Very protective. Smart. Just really big and strong. One of the ones he has is a male that was three years old when they flew it in. They had to order a custom made extension for the largest air cargo dog kennel made. Then the nearest airport that could take it was five hours away. Imagine driving for five hours one way to pick up a 150 pound dog you have never met. Getting it out of a big metal box and trying to get it in your small truck for a five hour drive back home. |

My mom had a big black male Chow. SOB looked like a lion and he and my mom thought he actually was one........ till he tried my 90lb. male Dobe. 1st time I broke it up after the Chow started it and wound up on the bottom getting rag-dolled. Got mine calmed down in the garage and I'll be damned if that Chow wasn't waiting for him when he left the garage. Jumped him from high ground as soon as he cleared the garage. The Dobe reacted prior to contact and rolled over and came up on top and went to WORK. I went looking for a Coke. Then mom came out and freaked at her high dollar dog all scuffed up and bloodied. Ears ripped half off and shit. She took that SOB and tied his ass up before he got deaded. Big bad Chow. LOL  |

We’ve had Cairn Terriers for 30 years, couldn’t imagine life without one. This is Carson, our latest. So much character and courage in a small dog, Carson’s two best friends are a 115 pound Rott and an 85 pound lab. They chase and wrestle constantly and he holds his own, all 20 pounds of him. He also has decided he’s a squirrel dog and will tree them and stay with them tracking them from tree to tree and constantly alerting if he can see them. I plan to take him squirrel hunting this fall.
 For those that love to put down AKC show dogs, his mom was best Cairn at the Westminster dog show last year. He has been absolutely flawless. He potty trained in about three days and works off lead very well, just a great well behaved dog. |

Real popular with coon hunters here. One of my favorite dogs was a Walker mix. Not that bright, but have more heart than any dog breed I know of. You should see them on a hunt. If you did not catch them up, they'd run themselves to death. I've see my my uncle's old Walker grab wild grape vines with his teeth trying to get at a treed raccoon. |

Pekinese dogs seem to be rare now. I never met one I liked.
Someone mentioned a Gordon Setter. The last time I saw one was around 1996. I could have brought that one home, the owners couldn't take it on a move out of state. When I was a kid the annual three day fox hunt out on Elk Creek in northern Wright County Missouri was lots of fun. Carnival, music, square dancing. The fox hounds were shown Saturday evening, followed by a hunt. Folks came from all over, that's where I met String Bean when I was in first or second grade. A friend owns a Tervuren that he competes in tracking meets. That is a neat dog, and he is a dedicated trainer. Here's Winston -  He's happy in a new home in KC that SpleenlessDave helped find last year. Good dog, but my daughter has her hands full without him. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Don't see too many Bassett hounds anymore, or schnauzers. I also wish there were less chihuahuas. When I was younger I had a 1/2 bassett/1/2 beagle dog, Jasper. He was the coolest dog, nothing ever bothered him. I call Gideon my Jasper.  Attached File |

Quote History Oddly enough, I’ve seen a number of fat labs, usually black or chocolate. Every one of their owners has said that it’s not due to over feeding. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The kind of people wanting a good German working dog and are willing to pay for it buy a GSD. So most of the buyers for rotts and Dobermans are poors who can't save up $2k+ for a dog, and they get shittily bred dogs from other poors. Sucks because both breeds are great dogs when well bred. I always wanted either a Rottie or a Doberman over a GSD. Good friends of mine paid big $$$ for a bloodline GSD, had him "trained" at Petco and he's as sharp as a bag of wet hair. |
