Dog dreaming

[oldhenlikesdogs]

I am starting to love little dogs more and more!! I want a terrier lol

Those are feisty. I know, I can fit in more little dogs in my house, plus they are cheaper to keep, and live longer. So far in my head I'm getting a shih tzu, and a Pomeranian, and probably a long hair Chihuahua since I adore my Spike who's half Chihuahua. I still love my Boston terriers, and will keep those, they are so loving and so much fun. Go little dogs.

I like this site a lot related to bulldog coloring, this breeder, writes articles from her experiences such as participating in UC Davis genetic studies on color, not here say they got from their show buddies who have a vested and financial interest in keeping the trends out.

Can you believe the current trend in akc breeders of frenchies is to breed a brindle dog with as little brindling as possible, so maybe like one or 2 tiny eruptions of fawn on an otherwise black dog, however solid black is a disqualification in the akc (not the KC of England tho, I believe solid black and blue is acceptable there). Two alleles of the same gene, one is the most sought after, the other, breeders claim never existed in frenchies, and is a severe fault leading to disqualification.

In 2015 I think, the Bulldog Club of America voted to change the standard (not frenchies, but bulldogs, and frenchies have the same issues regarding colors and acceptance) so they can reprimand and fine judges who award a ribbon to a Merle dog of higher quality than to a standard colored dog of obvious poor quality based on other physical features besides color. So dogs who can barely make it around the ring they were breathing so badly or in so much pain, should be awarded over healthy dogs of Merle color. Some small shows may have very few entries, and judges sometimes have to choose “the best of the worst”. If that judge chooses a Merle over a lame dog the BCA believes he should be fined, rather than discipline breeders of unhealthy dogs who would go to shows with historically low entry to try to get a win for their lemon.

Yeah but I love that!! LOL I haven’t decided what type though. There’s so many. I like rat terriers thanks to you but I also really like Borders and Cairns and I also am starting to look into Westies and even Jack Russells now. The JR are actually kind of confusing because there’s like 3 similar ones cause there’s the Jack Russell but also just plain Russell Terrier and also the Parson Russel Terrier hahah and I think maybe Irish or working and non working lines. So confusing lol but all seem great.

I really love Border Terriers though lol

And yes!!! Those are great aspects too!! Plus easier to carry around! Hahaha better for travel

I love Shih Tzus too and I also really love Havanese recently haha but then Bichons seem cool too. My friend had one haha

Chihuahuas are great too despite their reputation! Raised right and bred right they’re great. I like Min Pins too actually lol

And yesssss! I of course also love Bostons! LOL

See!? There’s tons of little dogs I like

OH!!! I also really want a Papillon one day haha they’re awesome little dogs!! and I hear they’re a bit like mini border collies so smart and energetic.

I've had 2 Labs and a Lab mixed with a Border Collie. If I could, I'd have as many Labs as I could fit in my house....with a couple of GSD's thrown in.

Don't forget the Teddy Roosevelt terrier. That was the short legged version of the rat terrier before it split off. They are adorable.

Here’s another tiny dog to add to the list, I heard a lot about them when I lived in the city, but I didn’t live in a trendy area so I never saw one until last year at the pet expo, as a former member of a Siberian husky family, I fell in love, this pic is cute, I prefer the black and white and red and white tho:

Awesome!!! I love Labs and really just all retrievers haha I also really love the Shepherd breeds. Aussies, GSD, English, Belgian, etc. LOL

If I could, I’d just have a ton of retrievers and shepherds with maybe some of the other sporting and herding breeds thrown in. I really like spaniels and pointers and BCs lol

Oh yes!! Them too! And there’s apparently also a strain or line of Rat Terriers called the Decker Rat Terriers that are a lot larger and great hunters apparently. There’s too many dog breeds LOL

Corgi or Pomeranian
