    meet "jackson"!

    He's lovely and beautifully marked. Congratulations. I had GDs for 50 years, but cannot have the big fellows these days. I'm a little envious of you. Lizzie

    dog training help needed

    Bevann, I'm so glad your knee surgery went well and that you are now recovering. Please know, you are not alone. GSs can be a challenge for the best of us. When I owned Canine Security, we had over 80 at any given time, in training. Firstly, you need to know, that while they are considered a...

    Puppy training questions

    I think you are, although you seem to have been doing well with him, so far. Now is the time to sign up in an obedience class. This will teach him to keep his eye on you and concentrate on you, with lots of other dogs and activity, going on around him. Between classes and when doing his...

    What kind of dog?

    I think you must remember, that there is no such thing, as a 'hypoallergenic' dog. This, in spite of what some claim when breeding designer dogs, such as poodle mixes. Also, ALL dogs shed. No animal, including man, keeps the same hair they were born with, throughout their lives. That said, some...

    I'm feeling sick - scammers called me(LONG)

    It is unfortunate, but this scam and many others, have been going around for several years now. It is extremely difficult to catch the perps, since they are almost in some distant country and well hidden.

    Why horses and goats don't always mix...

    And don't forget, goats with horns are a no-no. They can do untold damage to other animals and humans, even in play.

    Updated pic of my 8 month old Gypsy Vanner

    Lovely pic. Thanks for sharing, Carolyn. I hope you saw all the Gypsy Cobs in the Rose Parade today. I was glad to see them there again, since its been a few years since my daughter's troupe took part.

    Furious! Someone's using my horse's picture

    Remember, when you make a website, to make sure there is 'no right click' added to the html. Either that, or you can make sure if someone does steal your pic, when they open it up, all they find is a little blank square. If you do not do this, then all your pics are harvested by google and show...

    Hello!!! New and green and excited!!

    Hello and welcome to the forum. As you go along and visit various farms, you will no doubt get ideas which will work well for you. Definitely consider rescue, if you do obtain another Mini. There are so many awaiting homes and far too many people breeding poor quality Minis which seldom find...

    Please check out our new website!

    Very nice Kelsey. Pretty and easy to navigate. Give Claire a kiss on the nose for me. If I could just suggest something. With your Bulldogs, you might want to show pedigrees for possible future buyers. Also what they have done in the show ring and results of health testing. My mother bred and...

    New Computer

    I don't like W8 at all. Much was not improved upon and was really just invented to appear like many 'phones. I liked Vista and 7 much more. Anyway, most of us will be stuck with 8 now. Go here if you run into problems. Very knowledgeable people on hand to help. http://www.eightforums.com/

    Christmas movies

    My favourite Christmas movies, is 'The Holly and the Ivy'. 1952. Sir Ralph Richardson, Celia Johnson, Margaret Leighton and other great English actors. A lovely tale of the family of an Enlgish minister, who come home for Christmas. It is hardly ever shown on TV, but well worth adding to your...

    Lazy Eye?

    Are you truly speaking of lazy eye, or Amblyopia? Amblyopia - sometimes called lazy eye incorrectly, is a condition when (usually) one eye, is not developed properly at birth and the child has blurry vision. It can be helped if caught early enough. Left untreated, it will render the person a...

    LGD for small farm???

    Three loose Pit bulls near here, killed 29 goats last year. It was a horrific scene. Two of the dogs were caught. The third never was, so is still out there somewhere. Yes, dogs are to be feared much more than Coyotes. One of the reasons we are moving, is to get away from so many loose PBs in...

    LGD for small farm???

    We have two GPs near here, who obviously get out constantly and roam the hills. I've even seen them walking down the side of the freeway. I hear the GP Texas rescue is so overwhelmed, that they are sending some of their dogs, to our rescue in S. California. Of course, many have not come from...

    LGD for small farm???

    The are tons of Pys in rescue and many who are experienced livestock guardians. This because so many have lost their farms and ranches, in the dwindling economy. If you do get any breed of livestock guardian, make sure you have absolutely large dog-proof fencing. This because all LGs consider...

    Locked stiffle

    This subject has been addressed many times on this forum. Do a search and I think you'll come up with lots of thoughts and ideas. Personally, I do think it is a genetic problem, which is seen a great deal in the breed, hence the reason we constantly see it discussed on this forum.

    another pinto gene question

    Even the fewest of white hairs on any horse, means they carry some form of white pattern. However, a very minimally expressed pinto pattern, when bred to a solid, most likely will also produce a very minimally expressed offspring. Not always, but is most likely. Given the background of your...

    New announcement, pic heavy

    Oh Laurie, Mr, Masterpiece looks extremely rude! We love the ones with rude little faces, at our house. Most usually they have a ton of personality. Lovely both. Congratulations.

    Sold/pending who dont sell

    Forgot to mention one other thing. Even in this economy, horse stealing is alive and well, all over the world. Always get a phone number and call the buyer back to make sure it is legit, before giving out your address. Always take down the number of vehicles, lookie-loos arrive in. Two friend of...
