Rusty&Chip

Thanks, TDG! That was a very interesting read.

Newfies and Bernese Mountain Dogs are my dream breeds. I would love to own them. My mom isn't into large, slobbery dogs though so she wouldn't have a Newfie :lol: :lol: Oh well, someday!

Whao...totally missed this thread. I just barelly read the whole thing...owwwie my eyes, it took me forever :o . [color=red][size=6]Dogo Rocks![/size][/color]

Congratulations! That is a great accomplishment for such a young dog.

Thanks for your replys everyone. Neither of them got it, thank goodness. I was just worried because when my friend got it there she was sick for a very long time and I would not be looking forward to that. Thanks again!

They are adorable! Congrats to your breeder!

[quote name='ObedienceGrrl']Ummm.....you don't get a warning. The dog gets BLOW OUT diahrea. There's your warning! We went through this with the GSDs. It was pretty bad. Our white one lost 10 pounds in a week.[/quote] :o :o :o Oh my. I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed!

I hope everything works out for you, hang in there Zoe :)

Well, my family and I just got back from our vacation to our cabin in the mountains. There is a lake about ten minutes away that we would go to quite a bit with the dogs, and while we brought their water dish they still drank from the lake. Is it possible for them to get giardia (sp?) from drinking the water and if so, what would be some warning signs that they contracted it? I know that humans can get it from drinking from that lake because I know someone who has before and I was just wondering if dogs are able to get it as well.

Congratulations CC!! I'm so excited for you!

I don't know of any celebs that have had Carolina Dogs at any point, but I'm going to keep looking.

Those are so cute! :)

:cry: :cry: Oh Rowie that's awful. (Hugs) RIP little kitties :cry:

Good for your parents to get her spayed! I believe the breed is Japanese Chin?

That is incredibly sad :(

Awww, she is very pretty! Can't wait to see pics of her after the grooming is done with!

Thanks everyone! JM, I'll try and get pictures up but our computer with the digi cam software is busted which is why I've been gone for awhile. I'll get some as soon as I can!

OK, I'm a few days late but as of June 1 Rusty and Chip have been three years old! It's really hard to believe, it's seems like only a little while ago that we brought them home as 8 week old puppies from South Carolina. To celebrate we took them to the dog park (their favorite place on Earth). I saw so many beautiful dogs there! There was a STUNNING Bulldog, a beautiful brindle Boxer puppy around 6 months old, a St. Bernard, two Italian Greyhounds, and various mixed breeds. When we got home we made some bacon and gave them each a piece with their dinner (it is their favorite treat). After that they just plopped down on their beds and slept, they looked so cute! :D [size=7]HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSTY AND CHIP![/size]

I've always wanted to do Strutt Your Mutt. My friend did it last year and he said it was a blast. Good for you, it's a great cause!

I have some experience with unsocialized unsocialized dogs. A few years ago I had a female Carolina Dog that we had gotten from a BYB. We had to give her back because we just weren't too happy with her (she was really dishonest) and the dog really wasn't safe to have around my little brothers. She exhibited all the traits you listed except the head lowered, intense stare. She also frequently barked and growled at nothing in particular. She was very afraid of leaving a my bedroom in our basement and you would have to drag her outside. She had terrible seperation anxiety when I left but would not let anyone else near her. The breeder wasn't much help when we asked her about behavioral problems...but I won't get into that. If you wanted more information, just tell me. I'm not quite sure I answered your question very well.

:x People like this make me SO angry! I am so sorry about that! Is there anyone you can complain to? People like this need to be stopped.

I like Clea. She is just soo cute! Nothing better than a Golden puppy.

I think the cutest dogs have to be Westies or Bichons. They are just too freakin cute!

[quote name='hillside']I like Luna. :D[/quote] Me too! I think it's just a super cute name for a dog. It's also the name of my friend's Mini Schnauzer.
