  1. I don't think that the eye color relates to the breed, but I'm not sure. Here's a article (don't have time to read it all right now).

    [quote]Terrile Schukraft, a Siberian Huskey breeder who is active in Siberian rescue, would like to add: All blue-eyed dogs do not necessarily have Siberian husky blood in them, although many veterinarians and shelter personnel will identify blue-eyed mixed breeds as Siberian crosses. There are several other breeds that may have blue or split eyes - Dalmatians, collies, Shetland sheepdogs, harlequin Great Danes, Australian shepherds and Australian cattle dogs are examples that come to mind.

  2. Well, a lady in our agility club has a deaf aussie and is trying to do agility with him. I never heard how it went as the only thing I heard before I left is that she was going to put him in obedience first. Does Cody already know basic obedience and hand signals to go with it? If so, I think you could train him to do both agility and flyball. I don't really think flyball should be that hard to train him, as the dog pretty much does it by himself. Agility on the other hand, will be more challenging, as the dog usually knows which obstacle to go to in a word command. You would probably have to always be next to him or in front, so he could see you. I would also think that he would be trained to be looking for your signal.
    I'm not sure, but that's my best guess. I also bet there might be a book or two about agility with deaf dogs. Hope you can do it! Keep us updated!

  3. Well, here's what happens when you take my dog Winnie's ears, and put them on my other dog, Sable! :lol: (sorry it's so messy, it was pretty hard to do!)

  4. Please if you have any idea about this post ASAP. I am really freaked out as our previous dog died of cancer.
    A few minutes ago, I found a weird growth on Winnie. At first I thought it was a tick, but it looks like part of her skin just turned into a bag or something? Could it be an absess? But why? It is on her chest by her left leg. It is pretty little, smaller than a pea. Does anyone have any idea? I'm really scared. :cry:

  5. Ok, one more :o :o AKC agility is very different from NADAC and USDAA in that they don't allow any dog that isn't AKC registered (purebred) to compete. (I believe.)
    I can't find their titles, but I believe that they are similar to NADAC and USDAA.

  6. For NADAC:

  7. This is going to be LONG :o
    Well, for starters we have 3 different big "clubs". There is USDAA (website: [url]http://www.usdaa.com/[/url] ), NADAC ( [url]http://www.nadac.com/[/url] ), and AKC ( [url]www.akc.org[/url] ). Within each of those are different titles. Here are the titles for USDAA:
    CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAM
    The Championship Program is designed to measure a dog and handler's progress in the sport as measured against international performance standards, resulting in the award of the Agility Dog Champion title. Certification is tested on three levels through four standard agility classes and four nonstandard classes. Classes are offered at the Novice (or Starters), Advanced and Masters levels, with the Masters level the representative of international performance. A dog that has completed the Masters level will have demonstrated successful performance in competition on par with top level competitors from other countries throughout the world.

    The Champioship Program offers eight separate titles and awards upon fulfillment of the minimum requirements, as follows:
