He was happy to help weight out hops

Wow! You trained the one on the couch well. It can sit upright and eat with its hands from a plate.

That is like my giant dog that lies to sit on things entirely too small for him

Our new pup Willo (without an end W!). She's a Bichon Frise/Yorkie hybrid and about 14 weeks old.

not a "mix" or a "mutt", but a hybrid... i like it.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Maybe this is for another thread, but ever notice that if you call a person a mutt it is fightin words, but to call them a pedigree or a pure-bred (words also intended to demonstrate the parentage of animals) all is well?

Shouldnt calling someone a pedigree of a pure-bred connotate "someone from a very limited gene pool and likely to be either inbred or susceptable to degenerative diseases and thus a shorter lifespan?"

our last dog was 1/2 Beagle, 1/2 Basset. we called him a Bagle and said he was a "designer breed"

i'm not convinced of your choices in companionship, but gawdamn i like your sense of humor!

awww... that's my Goombah. only 5 years old when we had to put him down due to kidney failure

he was the sweetest dog in the world and I miss him every day

I think of a Mutt as unintentional and/or unknown as the the breeding. A hybrid is more than likely only two purebreds of known origins and family history, intentionally bred to produce a specific type of dog.

My girl, Jules

 

[GMJager]

My dog Jäger, a boxer beagle mix

 

[ChshreCat]

Our new pup Willo (without an end W!). She's a Bichon Frise/Yorkie hybrid and about 14 weeks old.

If I had one of those, I'd have to refer to it as a "Bjorkie". :fro:

 

[cooldood]

Dogs are the best invention ever

Zoe after taking a three mile hike near Lake Placid many years ago. She was one worn out puppy after that!

3 miles?! that's all she could do? I routinely take my 2 Aussies on 5 mile hikes... Like, daily.

Yeah dude, but that is not around lake placid. Imagine having to fend of giant crocodiles the whole time...

(I think that was a movie right?)

 

[mcbaumannerb]

IIRC we also climbed about 1500 feet on the hike as well (and there were two spots I had to pick her up and lift her onto a boulder to continue.) It was a good workout.

I may now have to give her a middle name

She looks young in the picture, 6months?

 

[PJoyce85]

Great thread.

My girl

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Yes - to the day in fact. Can't believe that was almost 12 years ago!

*EDIT* - I'm an idiot and can't do simple math today. She was 18 months at the time, not 6. But it was almost 12 years ago...

 

[sonofgrok]

Great thread.

My girl

Ah, a REAL german shepherd. Schutzhund?

 

[j1laskey]

 

[PJoyce85]

Ah, a REAL german shepherd. Schutzhund?

Yep. That was about a year ago when she was 1.

Funny that you say "real" because I have to explain to most people that A) she is not a mix (no, she is not part wolf) and B) yes, she is a real GSD and that was the color of the originals GSD's.

She has her BH and Endurance Test and hope to take the IPO 1 (Formally SchH 1) test this summer/fall.

Here is my boy (a complete couch potato but probably one of the sweetest dogs ever)

I only know because we used to breed them. Most people associate GSDs only with American Shepherds. My 14 year old Ozi is a traditional. Best thing about them is that you don't have to watch them go through all the hip problems american shepherds have.

Their hip problems are horrible, aren't they? People don't realize that when they are bred to have those tiny back legs, that it causes some serious health issues.

If you ever see one if these guys, just run. He's a German Hunting Terrier and what a D!CK

That looks a lot like my egon. I think he is a Shepherd/rottwieller mix though (since he is 120#s) although the coloring is spot on...

 

[sonofgrok]

And here is the traditional german shepherd I was talking about. Because of his coloring people immediately jump to wolf although he looks nothing like one!

It is.
Nicko, our little guy, is like a Min Pin but weighs about 25lbs and is straight muscle.

Oooohhhh. Sweet old man.

It's good to be the Bassett.
