I'm glad to hear that freckles haven't stood in your way in championships.
I find the freckles an endearing quality on my Jude. She has quite a few as

Hi Margareta,
Thank you for the information.
You do not have many dogs in the shelter. This is wonderful.
Wish we didn't had such a big problem in the US. Maybe education, plus early
spay/neuter will help for the future.

In the late 70's a lady, who had a vision for improving the orthopedics
of our breed, was promoting the idea of evaluating the progeny at age 2
yr. before considering breeding either the sire or dam again.
There is a mathematical problem with this scenario:

Hi Liz,
You may not like my suggestion but try prong collars on the two loonies:-)
Walk them individually when first using them and keep the leash loose, if
they bounce off the leash they are going to correct themselves and the one
time I needed absolute control my boy felt the collar once and

Most feed companies have a return policy but if you have no takers for your
Abady food then why not donate it to your local animal shelter:-)

Hi,
My experience is I prefer take a walk with each dog instead of having
trobles with 2 or 3 walked in the same time.
It is also always necessary for dogs to go for a walk on their own - not
always with company of other dogs. They behave differently and need time for
themselves.
No special

Well, the first trick is to keep ButtHead away from the front door.

Hi all,
Just my personal experience-at around 8 months of age we needed some extra
help with Bacchus. He was full of himself and I couldn't take the chance of
him pulling me off my feet on a walk [I've had a total knee replacement,
broke my hipetc, blah, blah].
We were taking obedience

Hi all,
We had a scare today that turned out well. Long story short, Tempi
had a rattle snake pinned in the backyard. She was outside for 3
minutes or less. It was our little Rat Terrier who wanted to come in,
which is unusual since she is a sun worshiper and enjoys the summer
warmth. When
