welcome. I am just curious what changed that you decided to join now after years of following and not joining?

What type of predator if any we are talking about ? If you want to keep your dog in yard then they protect your hobby farm by barking at any suspicious sound all night long . Guardian dogs either bark to keep trouble at bay (Most LGDs) or ambush and engage (Boerboel and Cane Corso and Dogo...

I admire anyone who adopts and I wish I would be able to help some dogs down the road as foster . If anybody asks me what dog to choose? I would say any stray dog that has survived relatively healthy on his own in streets or parks or such is a very safe choice since he is proven to have a good...

Well, Sorry for delay in reply. I read your case carefully and to be honest I went through A to Z of dog list to not to miss any perfect match for you if there is any. I think your road access and strangers coming to your home ignoring your No Tress sign tells me that you need to avoid any type...

When it comes to large breeds , I would listen to you breeders. I never had a dog larger than 100 pounds before ,so I don't have the experience.

In my recommendation I do not mention how hard or easy the breed is to obtain depending on case. In this case I reckon they can afford an eight cylinder Engine dog ( Leaonberger, Newfoundland, Bernese) when a four cylinder ( say Lab or Golden R ) would definitely do the job. When I choose my...

Let's see. I think the most important part of your dog should be " other dogs and pets friendly " since you have that park beside your home( which I am jealous ) and you like to entertain and sometimes hit the beach. Since you did not mention the size I go with all size dogs. Keeshond if you...

I admire your attitude about rescuing animals . Caucasian Shepherds that have found their way to USA are mostly the extreme version of the breed. In realty a casual Caucasian Shepherd does not need too much training but needs guidance and a job to do. If you can not provide a real job for them...

I am not sure what dog is suitable for you because you have a wide range of options . I summarize your case : Family dog , bark only when necessary , indoor/outdoor , good with chickens , good with kids , does not need tons of exercise every single day . Here is my question: Do you really...

As I mentioned before If I get a sheltie again, I would try to find a large Sheltie. The standard of 13'' to 16'' is just for competition. Barking is not really innate with Shelties as I was able to teach my dog to be quiet indoor and enjoyed his vocalization outdoor. Once I kept my dog in an...

The fact that your aunt Sheltie was your buddy since you were a little kid tells me you really were mature because funny enough Shelties have no problem trusting little people AKA midgets. I always wanted to know how my Sheltie react to a little person when he sees them the first time and I...

You know Sheltie was the breed of my last dog so I am biased but I can hardly find any real personality resemblance between Rough Collies and Shelties other than Shelties look like miniature version of Collies without collies being used in their creation according to vague history of Shelties...

Despite all the expectation you mentioned you may have from your next dog I think being made to be a perfect family companion is what you are trying to find . Keeshond is not a serious dog and understand your situation and adapts to it. It is a retirement era dog companion imho.

I wish I had an answer but I don't . I have seen some puppy mills that were awful but functional and profitable for the owner. I know that most of the good and responsible breeders don't make enough money to call their breeding efforts a carrier . I know most of the people(not BYC members)...

Would you say Hovawart is as smart as let's say a Golden retriever? I have zero problem with a proven Akbash but from my experience it is harder to define a real Akbash. When they do not know what they should call their mixed breed dog often they call them Akbash. A real Akbash is as good as...

Thanks for stopping by. You have such a rich and quite funny history of past dog breeds that makes it challenging and fun to suggest a dog breed. You mentioned you enjoy the calm demeanor of your pyr/lab. That tells me you like a confident, content dog that is aroused only when necessary and...

We also have rarely used " ambisinister " which means clumsy with both hands. Shoot the messenger please.

Here is my original post copied and pasted: To all the lefties who have been complaining about difficulties you or your relative have with writing on notebooks compare to righties. I have noticed in Canada and USA the majority of lefties I have encountered hold the pen wrongly in their hands...

I am honest here. If I had a left handed kid , which I don't have any, I think I would do my best to make the life as easy as possible for him/her by educating myself about how to make the lefties life easier. If it is as simple as providing some top bound notebooks , or no metal bound...

So now I am the bad guy trying to help you whinny lefties to feel we righties care about you? 🏅
