Queen Bitch

I hate to say anything positive about these "people" , but at least they aren't touting the hypoallergenic bit. They still make me sick though.

Nothing In Life Is Free. Basically the dog has to work for everything it gets, from pets to treats to food. Great job HF!

I share the Newfie folks pain. Kids LOVE Conar because he is a big white "polar bear". Thankfully he loves every single person on earth and is a very mellow dog. We haven't taken him to and Petwhatever though, he has a bit of an issue with leash aggression and other dogs. :roll:

I never would have thought that I would have said this a year ago, but go pick up some homeopathic allergy pills. They work REALLY well. I used be on prescription allergy meds that did almost nothing for me and found the over the counter ones worked better, but had the side effects of either making me super drowsy or super hyper. The homeopathic ones don't cause those reactions and work like a dream.

Yes, you would be doing an injustice to the breed. White is a FAULT in Boxers.

[quote name='Sharpeigirl']You saw the picture didn't you?? Want me to take another one? I can do that if you want me too... For petes sake.[/quote] We also saw the picture of the Rottie you didn't have. If you are concerned about your dog's health, take her to the vet.

There are Staffordshire Bull Terriers and American Staffordshire Terriers, but I've never heard of just a Staffordshire. :roll:

She lives in Iowa. :evilbat:

I miss my fruit! :cry:

Ohhhhhh and I read this message 3 minutes before it comes on in my area. Whee!

Of course they aren't vicious, they are small and "cute". :roll:

KIGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Sit! Stay! ( Well you don't have to sit, but you do HAVE to stay! :wink: ) Missed you hun. P.S. That IS a cute bully.

My niecedog Bean doesn't catch food either. Out of the millioms of times I have tossed food to her, she has only caught it maybe 3 times.( The first time she did I called her mum at work to tell her. :lol: ) She has perfectly good reflexes regarding other things though.

[quote name='__crazy_canine__'][quote name='Aroura']Is it impossible that there has been a gene mutation to produce merl pits?[/quote] Thats what I wanna know. Kinda why I started the thread but I havent really gotten an answer. Maybe Ill do some research later on it.[/quote] In short yes, it is impossible that it is a gene mutation. Merle is a DOMINANT trait. Goo where are you to explain this?

I just think it's funny that your cat is alpha and plays favorites. :lol:

[quote name='sashagirl']What's going on here? What's the Fearsome Foursome? I plead the 5th! I don't know WHAT they are talking about... :roll: [size=2]Here Taurus, time to come home with me... I have lot's of steak for you... mmm mmm good! Who's a pretty boy? [/size][/quote] Who says he's going HOME with you? Hmmm? If you hadn't noticed already, you already have two dogs at home, one of whom is kind of a bitch. Taurus comes to my house. :lol:

[quote name='DivineOblivion19'][color=indigo]That's because there is no such thing as a Dalmation, right Hillside! :lol: :wink: Isn't that one of the most amazing pics you've ever seen?!?!?! HAHA I've got that one saved in my pics!!! 8) [/color][/quote] Actually, unlike the rest of the world, she spelled it right. :wink: ( Unless there was a sneaky Dalmatian respelling. :lol: ) And actually, unlike the rest of the world, I saw nothing BUT Dalmatians. ( Kind of helps that I don't like beefcake guys. I like definition, but not a lot of it.)

To qualify my original post a bit: All three of our DalmatiAns had very similar temperments. None of them were related, two were BYB dogs ( before I knew better and I was a child so it wasn't my choice, really), the first, our bitch, could have been a BYB, but seemed rather well bred, but who knows. When I was on my dog quest, I made a list of the qualities that I wanted in a dog and when Ryan became a part of my life, I asked him what he wanted in a dog as well, even though I was already pretty much set on Dals, I took his list into consideration and thankfully Dals met his criteria as well as mine. I love their disposistion and their other general breed qualities and even though their appearence wasn't a deciding factor, you'd be hard pressed to find a dog that is as visually striking as a DalmatiAn.

Like many people, I have a breed preference. Dalmatians. Why is this MY breed? Well quite by accident really. An acquaintence of my father's had several Pekes and one Dalmatian girl. He didn't really want a big dog and gave her to us. We later added a second, liver spotted boy. After he passed on we got another liver boy. Now not only am I stuck on Dals, but I'm stuck on liver Dals. When planning out my future pup, I had to narrow down from the breeds I wanted to focus on one. There were several breeds on that list : Rotties, Dobes, GSDs, Bull Terriers, Am Staffs, Great Danes, Mastiffs, BullMastiffs, and a couple others. Dals WERE NOT on the list. I noticed a strange occurence though.....while looking at different breeds webpages, I kept looking at Dalmatian pages. After a while, I realized that I was in denial and started focusing in on what I REALLY wanted, Dals. I now have my breeder almost 100% decided on ( I have wanted to show since I was a wee youngin, so now I'll get to.) and will be getting my pup sometime in the next year or so. So how did you pick yours? ( Mixed breed owners can play this game too :wink: )

Actually Smooshie, who do you think the "Fearsome Foursome's" ringleader is? *Ignore K when she says it's me......*

[quote name='K']:roll: Look she's here again :roll: [/quote] :angel: I think you are confused Sash....... I said nothing..... :wink: *what distractions are we going to use this time?*

*Quietly makes off with Taurus while K and Smooshie are busy argueing with the Sashatroll.*

YAY Mouse!!!!!!!!!!! :angel: And Marion, just do it, it's just furniture.........

Anyone who charges by color has BYB/puppy mill/irresponsible and jackass written all over them.

It's probably because of all the blood rushing to their upside down heads BK.
