OT: Breed and name of your dog
- Thread starter zappaa
- Start date
Golden Retreiver named Torrey, after Torrey Pine. We name all our dogs after trees (we are both foresters). Last was Willow (Willie), before that was Aspen.
I have a Carolina Dog named Dexter. Also known as an American Dingo, his mother was captured near the Savannah River in South Carolina when she was pregnant with his litter & he & his 3 brothers were rescued from the kill shelter down there.

I have a Carolina dog too, Penny. It's amazing how many of them are actually around.
We have a chicken collie named Colby (only has chickens, no sheep to herd). He's the epitome of an alpha male dog - very controlling and vocally competitive with his neighbor dog friends responding to every bark he hears by barking the loudest and longest... always has to get the last bark in.
Hey Alden1, I feel your pain our Great Pyrenees does nothing but bark responding to the neighborhood dogs then keeps barking forever. Also hates leaves that drop and must warn us of the imminent danger that lurks as they may crash to earth and destroy it. Are dogs don't so much herd or guard our chickens and goats, however they do make good chase toys.
She's good in every way. Loves people, loves attention, loves kids.
Shepherds (from a reputable breeder with solid lineage) are among the best of dogs. They do everything well. There are really only three drawbacks to the breed:
- They whine. They are notorious whiners. It's utterly incongruous, how something that looks so fierce and intimidating - and is fully capable of living up to those appearances - can sometimes act like such a little girl.
- They lack "grace". The larger ones (mine typically runs between 120 - 130 lbs) have little to no actual awareness of their size. The phrase "bull in a china shop" comes to mind often.
- Fur. They shed. They never stop. The shed a LOT. I've managed to overcome most of this through quarterly groomings. You can brush them all day, every day, but it's no use unless you let a professional take a shot at it once every few months.
Man, I so want a dog. He could have 38 acres to roam. But we just travel too much to be fair to a dog. So we have the alpacas shown in my avatar.
Also had the world's coolest cat, but we lost him last September, probably to a possum trap. REALLY miss the cat. Meaner than a rattlesnake, but no rabbits or mice within miles of our place. "Taniwha" (Maori for a type of monster from a legend.)

I think mdh2003's dog might be one too.
mdh, does your dog's ears go straight up or do they flop? And does her tail fishhook?
Bump up the weight from 130 to 195 and, you could be describing my buddy, Caliknight. Particularly item #3.
Thanks, 4Real. Really tough loss. The rascal would bring in rabbits and hares way bigger than him (and he was 14 pounds -- all muscle). Not much of a snuggler but friendly around people. Just wanted to spend about 20 hours of every 24 out hunting.
That lab/beagle mix looked pretty cool!
Just recently we suddenly lost our 8 1-2 year old chocolate labradoodle, Theo. My good friend. We were devastated.
We've also had a yellow lab, Winnie, and a Ridgeback, Kato. All of them were truly part of the family in every way.
The grief when you lose a beloved pet is very very real. But at the same time, what they bring to our lives while they're with us is something only pet owners understand.

Johnny - smallish floppy ears and very slight fishhook on the tail. I was thinking maybe a rat terrier mix, but I can see a Carolina mix. She's a real cutie and loves to cuddle. A little too big for a lapdog, but that doesn't stop her from trying. She is also pretty protective, athletic, and tough as nails. Has gone round and round with more than one groundhog - she hates those guys.
Has anybody used doggie DNA tests before? Just wondering if it's worth the money - Linky.
Hey P, try that again. Would love to see what such a mix would look like!American Bulldog / English Springer Spaniel named Roxie

Scarlet hangs out in the RV. Most games games she isn't alone.
And I have noticed $ S. Often think that was done on purpose to remind people to donate
I get the same, when I clicked on empty boxes , this popped up:

It seems you don't belong here! You should probably sign in. Check out our Help Center and forums for help, or head back to home.
When I posted them earlier the photos were up. Now not so much
Well she is white with black patches over both eyes, one black ear. Two big black circles on her back towards the tail almost in a figure 8. Has tons of little black spot on her skin that show through the hair (but not visible in the pics). 55lbs. Muscular build, people ask if she is a pit bull.
