THAT is freakishly adorable<3

You're welcome! I might not know much about fish, but I no dogs upside-down and backwards! And last thing, search for local breed rescues, such as poodle rescues, and check out lab rescues too. They usually have a few labrodoodles. That way you can still be rescuing, but there's a whole lot less sneezing! And post some pics when you get it!

Also, don't just limit to the shelter. Look for rescue groups that are home based or foster homes, whatever the term might be. This way you can usually get a better feel for the dogs personality as well. The foster parents can tell you more about the temperament and silly quirks and likes etc. Craigslist is another place. I know there have been lots of labradoodles and goldendoodles listed.

Hey!!! We have that same super comfy couch!!! The dogs take the back pillow down ti watch the tank in the living room they and the cats use all the ranks as entertainment . The pup licks the glass and looks n whimpers and the fish come see her...

that's a big pup! have you had any problems with hips or knees? we had to have both ACL's done on rocco. 5 grand a knee....

 

[Carson24]

Lol that's sweet about the couch haha and no mr x haven't had any problems with any joints yet bc he is only two but we give him the stuff every once in a while to strengthen joints. But he doesn't move very fast lol so hopefully never have that problem. I tore my LCL my senior year the game before Playoffs started and didn't want to go to dr cause he would say I can't play well first playoff game there goes the rest of them ACL LCL MCL all completely tore stupid but I would do it over to play that game again lol.

I love my **** hounds too! Dozer (xlrg white blob) is a 4yr old male Argentino Dogo. Mini (sm brindle lump) is a 3yr old gal of unknown origins. I call her my wild orchard pup...found her abandoned when she was maybe 3 wks old & her whole body would fit in Dozers mouth.

 

[mr_X]

i used to have an argentine dogo. very cool dogs.

 

[abushr]

Dogos are cool....I've loved both of mine. Gotta admit, it would be nice to hear "is that a dogo?". I usually hear " wow! Thats a HUGE pit!". LOL.

 

[mr_X]

yeah..i used to get that all the time when i used to keep presa canarios.

 

[abushr]

Ahhhh... The plight of rare dog owners. lol. It doesnt bother me ad much as it did when i got my first dogo 7yrs ago. Now when I notice people looking hard...i just smile & tell them he's not the breed I'm betting theyre thinking. Every once in awhile i get an obnoxious one who will insist hes part pit.....i just smile and list off the 10 breeds used to make him and refer them to DACA.org if they choose not to believe me.....lol. I teased my hubby once that I should carry his papers with me, but he said theyd just accuse me of having fake papers (Hardly anyone knows what FCI papers are). If its not AKC it cant posdibly be real....lol.

 

[mr_X]

you need to say to them...umm..no, he's not part pit, but i'm sure the large pitbulls you see aren't all pit!
it would be easy to tell them apart if people actually took care to keep the breed intact. now pitbulls are 75 pounds and not quite as athletic.

Wheaton Terriers are shed free too I believe, and they have rescue groups. They kind of look like big Yorkies to me.

Here are my babies, Bella and Koal. Bella is a Blue Heeler, and Koal is a Blue Heeler/Border Collie.

 

[abushr]

Your babies are beautiful! My hubby wishes Id like cheaper pets!!! Lol. He calls my tanks money pits.....lol. And of course having a dog that cost more than you pay for a sm used car can be a bit nutty too...lol

 

[dkpate]

Thanks! Koal is a bad dog! LOL. Bella is pretty nutty, and I am sure she has doggie A.D.D...
I only paid $75 for them, but that's not including food, vet bills, etc.
My husband doesn't like the fish either.

 

[Bl80]

Ya, our cost 90$ a month to feed. Baxter can't have any grains, or chicken, so we feed taste if the wild. We figured may as well just put both on it. I'm sure as Dakota gets bigger she will eat more.... Bax was adopted thru a rescue and I found Dakota along a busy road with her brother ( rip :-( ) no one claimed her but SHE claimed us! They are so entertaining... My fiance is a cat guy... But he now admits he wouldn't trade our pups for anything!!!! And all the fish tanks, well expensive "TV" for all the animals!!!

Beautiful dogs, everyone!

I wish I could participate in this thread someday. We lost our beautiful Brittany Spaniel to heart disease around this time last year. Ever since then, my husband refuses to even consider getting another dog any time soon, (especially a Beagle... which is what I've always wanted since I was a kid). It hurt us to put our li'l girl down, but she was suffering pretty bad towards the end. It just doesn't feel right not having a dog in our lives.

Be sure to cherish your dogs and give them hugs every single day because you never know when your friend(s) will leave your side. RIP Jessie

I thought maybe the last picture kinda needs explaining... when you are training a dog to attack don't wrap the leash around your hand... my wife's broken ring finger.
