:mad: How rude!

Very happy! Maybe now they can have real love in their lives. :D

Yeah, Mei-Mei! WE WANT PICS!

Is he getting enough exercise? Both breeds have very high energy levels. Him biting the leash could be his way of telling you I want to go!!

My puppy needs help! Please help if you can!

Can Dalmatians do it??? Or do they get aggressive when they do it? I don't know anything about schutzhund, can you give me a little info? Thanks!

Winnie is constantly in the water and getting water in her ears. There is enough water in her ears that when you scratch behind her ears you can sometimes hear it. Is there something we can put in her ears to dry it out? What should I do? We are going to the vet (if need be) in about a week. Also, how often should I clean her ears?

OH MY GOODNESS! THOSE HOOFS DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE HOOFS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Oh, and Seana has 7 points, I think that's pretty good for a dog under two. Don't worry they're not breeding her till april and she turns two in Feb, but do you think that's to close? She's getting her hips OFA'd as soon as she turns two.

:lol:

[quote]I like Great Danes a lot because of trainability. [/quote] I didn't know this! I saw a little boy at 4-H with a very large (I guess they all are! :lol: ) great dane. He could NOT get him to sit to save his life! He pushed on his bottom and finally layed on it and it still wouldn't sit. Then the boys dad came over to help and HE couldn't get it to sit either! :lol: It was kinda funny! [quote]Great answers she gave you Yellow.....she sounds like a good un I really enjoyed her website, they are some lovely Dals! I LOVED Roam! I just think liver Dal's are so beautiful and he is fine example. [/quote] I'm glad you thought she was good, so did I! Here's the pics for all you who are to lazy to go to the website. :lol: Here's Seana, mother of my new pup ([u]POSSIBLY![/u]) [img]http://www.spiritone.com/~visions/images/WB502.jpg[/img] Romeo, the one Trinity liked.

Actually I found the questions off this great website. :oops: [url]http://www.k9web.com/dog-faqs/breeds/[/url] Oh, well at least I found the website! :lol: [quote]So, what exactly attracts you so much to this breed?[/quote] Really I'm not sure, but ever since the first Dal I petted I felt a heart connection. It's funny actually, because I used to think Dals were the worst breed there were. I love their personality, their looks, and them! I was drawn to them because they love horses (which we have), love exercise (like me!), will protect me if need be, want to be with their owners (unlike Winnie who would rather be by the fire than in the computer room with me! :lol: ), there's not as much competition in conformation (as a lab), they'll do agility, they love water, they'll do obedience (under protest :lol: ), they're happy, and they're like me! (I have a border collie or dal personality! :lol: ) I hope that answers your question. Oh and just to be ornery (my dal personality coming out!) what drew you to great danes?

[quote]How big do you think he'll get?[/quote] This is a GUESS, but maybe around 20lbs? [quote]I paid $500 for Molly. Is that too low? [/quote] Definitely not!

Oh, and here is her website. [url]http://www.spiritone.com/~visions/phd.html[/url] What is planned is that Seana is going to have a litter in June. Hopefully it works out! :D Wildbunch, I've never heard of miniature cattle :-? I don't think it's a breed, I think maybe these people are BYB of cows :lol: If small is what you want I'd look into the Dexter cows. Here's a pic. (sorry it's so old, but it's the only one I could find that showed how small they were) [img]http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/DEXTER/dexter4.jpg[/img] Here's a site on them. [url]http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/[/url] (great site for any breeds of livestock) I would get a cow, maybe a steer, but definetely NOT a bull. Bulls are aggressive and [u]usually[/u] not very nice. I underline usually because a woman I know rents bulls and hers are big babies. :lol: As for the pig... I LOVE pigs! They might be even more affectionate than cows. They are WONDERFUL! They're trainable, loving, pretty clean (really!), and stubborn (no more than a cow!). Anyway...Let me know what you think about that breeder! :D
