Guest Anonymous Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Very funny!!! Very rare for a lab to point. Very rare for any dog to point, I mean, BK was just caught pointing! A dog should NOT point, so yes, this is RARE and a GREAT Christmas gift! :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corgilady Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 :o Pointing is RUDE?? Oh dear. What shall I do? I have been giving out treats for pointing. Especially with the middle toe, which is a DIGIT Hobbit, don't you know anything. I am a dog trainer after all. I also give an extra treat for pointing while dancing. I do not, however, allow dogs to be dogs. I know better!!!!! :wink: Ms. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted December 14, 2002 Author Share Posted December 14, 2002 :o I thought Digit was a Gorilla. And didn't Digit have a kitty named "ball" or something like that? Boy, that was way off topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bk_blue Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 The best thing about chocolate pointing labs is thay they come in white, milk and dark... get in early and you can have your pick... and every time you point, there are five fingers pointing back at you :wink: or you grow a wart :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bensam Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Stargaze---LH Whippet?????? :o Does this mean LONG HAIRED?????? :o I'll have to wait on your answer, can't believe there's such an animal! :roll: OMG. What next? Or are we that far behind in Aussie???? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bensam Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Amazing! There have been whippets here since the year dot :lol: I have known personally a number of show breeders, have done a bit of study of the breed when I was going for my Hound judging licence and honestly have never heard of any mention of Long Hair. Maybe it's a deep dark secret in the Whippet world :o . I'm going to do a bit of delving here in Aussie, see if there is anything hidden in the closet :roll: Thanks Stargaze.

Bensam Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Hang on Stargaze, I'm not knocking your dog or any other breed, be it pure or cross. Since I have been on this forum I am always looking up breeds we have never heard of here in Australia, be they in USA or anywhere. As there has never been, to my knowledge, long haired whippets in Australia, my comment was meant as surprize that there were long hairs. So I sincerely apologise if you took it the wrong way. I went to a site with the long hairs and thought they were lovely, I love coated dogs, where I live now it's too hot for them. I would like to see a lot of the breeds we don't have here, in the flesh. I was about to post back after looking at the site to say how nice they looked, but you beat me to it. I think if you read my previous posts, you will see I was not knocking any dogs, but believe me I'll be VERY careful how I word things in future.

bk_blue Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 [quote name='StarGaze']Do you know I can't even course her because of her coat? Most are AKC related. They won't even let her do what they are breed to do because of her looks. There's more to it than looks, dogs need to do what they are meant to do. She can't, just because of the length of her hair and the name. [/quote] I agree,it IS sad that your dog can't compete in what she's bred to do. It's not like you're going to show her, but coursing (that's the name, yes?) isn't something where her coat should matter, but more her ability. Stupid AKC! What sort of reasons do they give for that? I can't imagine that her coat would interfere with the other dogs, or give her an advantage...?

Of course, chasing a lure isn't exactly what they are meant to do, but it's the next best thing. She can't, just because of the length of her hair and the name. It's sad. Connie[/quote] Connie, why on earth do you and other's put up with AKC's crap? AKC is not a GOD, they are NOT the last resort. Just because a dog isn't registered with the almighty AKC, doesn't mean it's worthless. I will not duck the fire on this one. Just do the math and you'll see how much money the AKC makes on registering dogs, on their DNA testing (because they won't allow another lab to do the analysis), their shows, etc... it's a multi-million dollar business. If there was absolutely no money in it, do you really think they'd still be in business? I am so amazed that everyone is so neuter/spay pro-voiced, but AKC won't allow a neutered or spayed dog to compete ---- what does that tell you? If AKC was so "let's not over populate the world", then they should allow neutered and spayed dogs to compete alongside the intact ones. AND an AKC breeder/owner/shower should do whatever it took to get this rule changed. That was a little off topic. Okay, why don't owners of the LH Whippet just ban together and tell AKC to kiss your butt and start holding your own shows, coursing trials, whatevers? This is just opinion, but I'm sick and tired of (some) AKC owners and their smug attitudes about their "AKC-better-than-thou" dogs. And their look-down-their-nose expression at a non-AKC registered dog. It shouldn't matter if the dog was registered. If it's a good dog and it's your pet and you love it; that is all that matters. Just by looking, without asking, a person can't tell if a dog has papers or not or what registry he/she is registered with ----- the dog doesn't care either.

Hobbit Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 Is it my imagination or his legs really short for his body? His ears are not Saint ears. Maybe --- Livestock Guardian Dog cross? The ears are what's got me. They don't look like either breed. Cute little pup. I would love to see him when he's all grown up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 Money, it all boils down to money. I have heard so many times the comment, "I can charge more for the puppies if they are AKC registered". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlabsrule Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I think Kuvasz or Great Pyrenees crossed with a Saint is a good guess, but is it just me or does that puppy look small? How old is it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can do agility and obedience with neutered and crossbred dogs, but there should be some sort of showing competition set up for those of us who DON'T want to add to the overpopulated pet world. It's all about money, I know, it's very sad. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roo Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 In the UK you can show altered dogs and bitches. One of the crufts croup winners a few years ago was a spayed bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
