Ohana is a terrible biter too right now. XD Ah the joys of puppyhood. And when he latches on, he doesn't let go. And h chews on you like you're one of his toys. But redirecting him to his actual toys is helping. c:

Ohana is so cute! So are your other goofy pups! Love love love Dixie! We need more pictures of her!

Are you suuure?

No! I've changed my mind! It's too cute! It's killing meeeee!

I'm so glad Creed never really nipped >_>;

He does sometimes whack me with an open mouth, which can hurt depending on angle, but never really has been nippy. He's more pawsy and a big loud mouth!

Someone a couple houses away owns hounds/hound mixes. (I haven't gotten a good look at them yet. just seen them from a fair distance.) omg THE BAYING. Nearly every afternoon they just start barking and baying and UGH. It only last for a minute or two but it makes me want to rip my ears off. MAKE IT STOP.

someone on sunday told me she was told pigs ear is bad for sheties (we where shareing sheltie tips)

anyone know if this is true? marty got a free one and ate it on sunday and seems fine, he won't get them often only for x-mas i belive , him having them will be rare as people in my house don't like the idea of pigs ear and deer antler (yet they are ok with bones) and i find the smell(of pig ear) not very nice . the reason he is geting one on x-mas is he injoyed it and it will stop him begging for x-mas dinner/lunch (where people will sneek him food,despite what i say)

Pork makes many dogs have the runs. Also, rawhides aren't good for dogs.

Does your family realize antlers can be collected without hurting the animals? They shed them naturally every single year.

What are your all's opinions on working dog breeders? As long as their dogs prove themselves in the fields/have working titles and are tested for everything required by the breed club? What if they have no conformation titles?

Show-type and field-type Goldens seem to vary in coat type and a few other factors, and it seems like not many working Golden breeders do much, if any, conformation showing?

all but one do and she has the most say, i would rather antler to bone but she rather bone to antler

There's a guy I know who claims to have a "miniature lab".

Yeah, sureeeeee.

Probably just a runt, to be honest. :p
What breeds have a miniature version? I know the standard poodle does, but are there many others? Are miniature and toy aussies 'real'?

Pft, if I could post a picture of my face here I'd show off the shiner Link gave me being pawsy while I was laying on the floor playing with him. He straight up punched me in the eye socket. I was rolling around making noises somewhere between laughing and crying cause I know from where my husband was sitting it had to have looked hilarious as hell.

i think they are just smaller aussies,i'v never seen him that hasn't reached aus yet,i saw someone who claimed to have a teacup dobermin on the weekend... it was smaller then my sheltie and they claimed a year old

the only ones i can thing of are dachshunds , the minis being the more common pet ones.

that and well alot of people call shelties mini collies
