He was a beauty, reddog.  Guess that's where the screen name came from?  

Here are mine.  This is Liam, who will be 19 months old in a few days:

Nice looking dogs everybody.

Razor what breed are your dogs?

I think I'm fixin to get a new lab. I looking for a yellow male to take my old dogs place in the duck blind. I always like to have a name picked before I get a new dog but I'm having a hard time coming up with a unique name. Any suggestions?

I try to avoid the really overused names.  Sometimes it helps to see what the dog's personality is like first.  Or if your breeder has a theme for AKC registration names, that can sometimes help you come up with a good call name.

You may be right on naming for personality. I had a hard time coming up with a name for my oldest lab so I named him Conway, after the city I bought him in.

I don't have a dog, I'd love one but I don't have the commitment to get up before work to walk, plus I worry about the dog being at home all day when I'm out. If I won the lottery I would have a housefull!

My family has had dogs for a long time.  Our last dog died at an old age a number of years ago.  Now we house sit dogs for people and we can get our dog fix in short stints.

I'll have to look up some photos.  We have one dog coming for Thanksgiving and another for Christmas.

Dena and Dixie in that order. Photos to follow.

This is Snoopy, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.  He is a great family pet.  He thinks he's a bird dog, so I just let him believe that...haha.

We got him from a breeder in South Dakota.  They had already name him and it seemed to fit.  He has a longer snout than his breed is supposed to have (due to a big over-bite).  He was the runt of the litter and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Haha. that's the truth!   The Cavalier was the first dog I was ever able to talk the wife into.  


Razor, my neighbor has a dog like yours (Wheaton Terrier).  About a year ago, they were rushing her to an emergency vet... she was all bloody.  She had gotten in a fight with a huge Water Moccasin (Cotton Mouth) in their back yard.   What they found out at the vet was that she didn't have any marks from the snake... all the blood was from the snake, not her.  She was pretty impressive, killing that snake.  

I was laughing at that video of yours btw.  --pretty funny.

All gorgeous dogs guys!!

I'm a dog guy... love them. I did greyhound rescue for nine years but gave that up about 6 years or so again when my kids started getting involved in everything and time became a premium. I had greyhounds for years. They are fabulous dogs.

We now have two Shih-Tzus and a Boston Terrier. We opted for small dogs because they are much easier to take aloing on Family events.
The Shih-Tzus, Quincy and Ryleigh, are great little dogs. They love everyone and are pretty tough little dogs.
The Boston, Cooper, was the runt of the littler and is still pretty small for a Boston. He's the funniest damn dog I've ever been around. He's curious as can be but he's afraid of his own shadow. So he'll go to investigate something and then get scared and yelp and run. We laugh like crazy at him. Great dog and tough as nails. He LOVES kids and people in general. He is one heck of a lap dog too.

Ages..... Quincy-7, Rylerigh and Cooper both 6.

Once these guys eventually leave us (which will apparently be a VERY long time) we're going back to ONE big dog.

Would love to have a dog, but don't have have a pen / cage and the house is too close to the road.  Hate the thought of leaving on penned up.  Did have a dog try to adopt me a couple of years ago.  I gave it to a neighbor who has a fenced in one acre yard and two other dogs.  He's very happy, can run without worry of the road, and has playmates.

Slyest and Billy boy.....yeah...we've always had dogs that were crate (kennel) trained....completely eliminates torn up houses and runaway issues.   When home you walk them and play with them....give'm their exercise and all that....and enjoy their company around the house....just say "KENNEL!" and they run into their kennel when ya leave.   Much better.

When I did Greyhound Rescue I learned all about crates and the proper way to use them. Fewer people would get rid of their pooches if they knew how to properly use a crate.

My (3) current pups love their crates. They lay in them even when the doors are open and they have the run of the house.

All I have to say is "In!" and they all run into their crates wagging their tales.

We had a couple for Golden Retrievers. The first one, Bailey,  was a pure bred and lasted about 16 years. The second one was a rescue dog and only lasted about 8 years. She developed lymes disease from the deer ticks up at our cabin. I miss them both a lot.

My son now has a black lab, St. Bernard and dobbermine combo She is a big girl and has a lot of energy. I am about to take her over to the dog park to wear her down a bit.

We also have 2 cats. a 17 year old Tabby named Bob and a 3 year old black cat named bubbles. Needless to say, they make life interesting.

Yes,  We really didn't have it waiting for them in a stocking though.   We woke my older daughter up with it, then all took it into my son's room and woke him with it.   (We didn't know we would have a little surprise off our own a year later (another daughter) or we may not have gotten the dog.   I'm glad it worked out the way it did...lol.
