Arrival Story: I've owned Ty since he was 10 weeks old. I'd been looking for a second dog for a few months after our beloved cat Ramsey passed away. My family and i didn't feel we could have another cat as we'd lost 2 within the same 6 months and our boys were one in a million cats. So a puppy was decided. Ty was from a litter of 10 and my sister was the one who chose him. He's the calmest dog i've ever known and as a puppy was very mature, he was not your typical puppy. Training has been easy in some parts, hard in others, he was housetrained within 3 weeks and knew sit after 1 week. He has the gentlest of nature and is very tolerant of other dogs, letting my sisters dog jump all over his face and body without a murmour. He's also very Sensitive, sweet and affectionate, my perfect boy :)
Bio: Tyler was from a planned litter of Whippet/Labrador crosses. His mum was a yellow Labrador. His Dad was a Whippet that had qualified and been placed at Crufts. His breeders wanted something lighter boned then a Labrador but heavier then a Whippet and they achieved what they was looking for. Tyler was taken to a big Companion Dog Show in 2006 and was entered into a few show Categories. He was placed first in " Shining Example" or "Best Health" etc. I had to show him in front of hundreds of people and he made it to the finals, beating 1200 dogs. His Picture was then featured in a monthly Dog Magazine. He's simply the bestest boy ever and i wouldn't be without him :)
Forums Motto:
I was tagged by my very good friend Saphira about a week or two ago. I've only just got round to playing to be honest...sorry Saphira, but i'm playing now :D
Here's how to play!
Think of SEVEN interesting things about yourself and write them in your diary.
THEN choose some friends to play the game!
I'm choosing SEVEN friends to play! Each one will get a rosette from ME!
1 - I am a messy drinker and usually end up dribbling half the bowl across the floor after a drink BOL.
2 - I visit little Ted and his family every weekend.
3- I have a number of different collars, all colours and styles ;)
4- I'm scared of Fireworks :(
5 - I LOVE to nibble my toys!
6 - I weigh 21.5kg or 47lbs
7 - I HOWL when left alone!
That is the question i asked myself earlier this evening when a VERY brave cat jumped up on to our window sill earlier and attempted to squeeze his way through the open window! I must admit i'm not expirienced on the whole cat thing, did he have a nasty trick intended or was he here for a nice treat? questions, questions...it was time to investigate! ;)
I approached the window with a very confident stride, there was no way i was letting any kitty think he had one over on me after all this is MY Nannie's house! Missy and Teddy were upstairs thank dog otherwise all what would have been left of Kitty was fur falling in the night air! Once my nose was resting on the window sill the kitty stuck his paw around the window in a vain attempt to get mum to fuss him and she played right into it!! I never knew these kitties were so clever. He was being cautious i could tell, but he never flinched, swiped or hissed at me. We sat in a stare off for about 5 minutes, no one gave way. Mum was telling me what a good boy i was being and fussing the kitty at the same time. And just when i thought this kitty might be staying the night ( the way mum was acting you would of thought it was BOL ) it hopped off the window sill and paced off to wherever he came from!!
I got heaps of praise from mum :D She was very proud of me that i never barked, growled, lunged, put my hackles up or attempted to bite the kitties paw off BOL. She knows i don't have an aggressive bone in my body and tonight proved to her that my calm and gentle nature is apparant in everything i do.
So all in all, i think this kitty gave me a TREAT tonight and i thank him for stopping by to say hi ;)
My beautiful friend Gypsy had this little quiz in her diary and i just thought it was a great idea to do too :D
Taken from UK Kennel Club breed groups
IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE A DOG FROM EACH KC GROUP, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?
Hound Group Whippet Well mine is the same as Gypsy's answer. I'm in love with the breed since owning Ty who is very much Whippet despite being a cross. They are beautiful, calm, affectionate dogs who are actually under-rated as pets.
Gundog Group Weimaraner My top breed right now and the one i'm adament on owning next too. I love everything about them and the gundog group is by far my favourite group
Terrier Group Bedlington Terrier Probably my least favourite group despite owning Missy. Alot of Terriers need so much work put into them and they're not the ideal breed for everyone. Missy has alot of different issues and that's despite me putting in all the work and effort to make her a great dog! The Beddy is probably my favourite Terrier.
Utility Group Lhasa Apso Another hard group to pick one from as i love a few dogs in this group. But being realistic i know i could only own a few. The Lhasa Apso is ( apart from Missy ) the only small dog i could own. I'm much more a large dog person. I always wanted 2 Lhasa's called Perry & Harry lol.
Working Group Rottweiler! I admire and love this breed so much, at least for the last 6 years lol. They get such a bad rep but are such great, loyal and affectionate family dogs if raised correctly. I want to be the one who changes people's opinions on the breed and have a shining example of this amazing dog
Pastoral Group Belgian Shepherd This was a hard one between the BS and the Border Collie. I love all 4 varities of the Belgian Shepherd.
Toy Group Lowchen Cute little dogs with lots of energy despite their small size. Another small dog i could live with :D
So what's your picks? Go ahead and pick your own breeds and write it up in your diary.
