Guess The Breed!!! Dog Edition!!!!

[mattfulleroc]

I have been a member of a Saluki list for several years now. For the most part its a place where people argue but the other day there was a post I thought was a joke at first but once everyone started discussing it I realized it was real. I don't have an Iphone so I can't try it...Here is the email message:




For almost two years, a team of us that includes Warren Cook, Brian Duggan and me, as well as others, has been working on various aspects of a secret project which we've now unveiled! It's the new DogSpotters mobile app for IPhones and IPads, and we think it's pretty great! Go to www.dogspotters.com or keep reading below:


The new DogSpotters mobile app for iPhone and iPad creates a fun social activity in which users spot dog breeds, share sightings with friends and build their life lists while they develop and challenge their breed IQ.

"DogSpotters marks the start of a new pastime---dog spotting---like bird watching, but with dogs!” says Ellen Brodsky, president of Telemark Productions LLC, creators of DogSpotters. "And unlike bird watching, with dog spotting you get to talk to the owners of the dog! Knowing the breed, and something about it, is a great ice breaker and community-builder."

DogSpotters helps users to identify a dog's breed by selecting one or more traits and by distinguishing among similar breeds. Once users identify a breed, they create a Sighting. They can then try to complete various Sighting Lists, from easier lists like the Most Popular Breeds to difficult ones like all the AKC

Terriers, Dogs from the Middle East, Africa and Australia, or the Rarest Breeds. In addition, users can meet the breeds through informative profiles and top-quality photos; challenge themselves with an extensive breed IQ game; and join in with chats, photos of unusual dogs, and other interactivities on the DogSpotters Facebook page. Users can share their Sightings as well as their list and game achievements with friends on Facebook.

"It doesn't matter if you can't tell an Azawakh from a Xoloitzquintli, or even a Chihuahua from a Great Dane---DogSpotters will have you spotting breeds like a pro in no time!" says Brodsky.

DogSpotters allows users to
· Identify a dog’s breed by selecting a combination of traits.
· Use the Similar tab and May Be Confused With guide to tell similar breeds apart.
· Complete lists of Most Popular or Rarest Breeds, different dog Looks, Regions of the World, and AKC

Groups while building their Life List, like birdwatchers do.
· Add photos of dogs they spot, with personal notes.
· Earn ribbons while building dog ID skills with the DogSpotters game. The game has 72 levels of difficulty with sections devoted to Breed ID, AKC

Groups, Regions of the World and Trivia.
· Share sightings, list completions and game achievements with friends on Facebook.
· Explore breed profiles that include physical traits, history, trivia, pop culture appearances and celebrity owners. See hundreds of photos of top breed representatives.
· Hear the American pronunciation of each breed name.
· Use the Web links for each breed to check the AKC

standard and find breeders, rescue organizations, books about the breed and other information.
· Join the DogSpotters community, with ongoing events and conversations by way of the Dogspotters webpage and Facebook page.

The $4.99 DogSpotters app was developed by Telemark Productions, LLC, the creators of the IAMS online Dog and Cat Breed Libraries and Dog Breed Selector and Comparer Tools, with Caroline Coile, award-winning author of more than 34 books about dogs, and Warren Cook, expert dog show photographer.

That is going to be one monster dog!

That is likely. I am glad I don't feed him.





And no, it is not a Presa Canary

Welcome Back!!!
Sorry, not one of those either

How are things in Scandinavian? Getting a little chilly now? We got our first snow yesterday. My kids were excited, but I don't care for the mud it made for our dogs to run in and track into the house.

A little chilly, well you might say so. Earlier this week the temperature dropped to -23 celsius, the dogs weren't to keen on going out. I have no heating in my hen house but the pullets and cockerel didn't seem to mind at all - instead i got my first eggs! I think the temperature in there was around -10, the only problem was the water, i had to change it about four times a day. Today it's about -14 and it's time to take the dogs out. I got a new addition to the family two months ago, that's why i haven't been around:

That was when i picked him up from the breeder, now he's grown a LOT!

Is that a Fox Terrier?
LOVELY! We have a new Standarad Poodle and she is a handful. Luckily with the two adults, she is plenty occupied with the running and chasing for the day that she is tired at night.
