Pixie Bell Is that a ball?     Barked: Thu Jun 13, '13 7:27pm PST  Here's one! You shouldn't get a rat terrier if: -You can't deal with a dog touching you EVERY SECOND (unless you are ready to play). -You don't feel like playing even after both you and the dog are well past exhausted. -You can't resist giving table food (yours) to the dog (fatty, fatty!) -You don't like a dog that likes you, only you, you alone, no one else (well, everyone else MIGHT be tolerable). -You don't like a small dog with a big attitude -You don't feel like playing anymore, never say die! -You aren't willing to be CONSISTANT with training. -You aren't willing to find what they want to work for (Ball? Toy? Heck, screw training! Lets go PLAY!). -You don't like a dog sleeping under your covers. -You don't like a dog that sleeps between your legs. -You don't like a dog that wants to play. All the time. -You don't like a dog that is territorial. -You don't like a dog that doesn't share her toys. -You got tired reading the first play comment. -You can't at least throw a ball for a half hour in the evenings (and then on and off for the next few hours through the house). -Did I mention that you need to enjoy playing? -If this entire post has worn you out, you should quit and never consider getting a rat terrier. -If you're still reading, there may be hope for you. -If you don't like kisses. -If you don't like to be bugged for love...or play time. -If you aren't willing to be completely enamored by a small pup with outrageous energy who, when she is finally exhaused, only wants to snuggle away the rest of the evening. Well, maybe until you take her to potty. Then you may need to toss the ball just a couple more times before bed. -If you physically don't mind removing the ball from her line of sight before bed. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Gunner Gunna get \'em!     Barked: Sun May 19, '13 7:38am PST  Vance, that's a real worry for me. The expense of owning one. I know if we did then it would be an only fog. And I don't know if I can swing that. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > The Irish Wolfhound

Gunner Gunna get \'em!     Barked: Fri May 17, '13 8:05am PST  Thanks guys, Flicka! I just don't know if the training would suit me. I don't really want a difficult to train breed. Then again, if they're low energy I may not mind. As long as I don't have a hyper, difficult to train breed we're okay. Then again, this is all future. Hypothetical for now. And I'm doing it because the other half fell in love with the two big boys he met. I thought, "They're huge. They smell VERY doggie. They're leaning on me. Why is a ten-year old walking that puppy that is bigger than a lab? It's dragging her." Lol! I need to meet a few more before I make up my mind. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > Ever "misjudged" a breed?

Gunner Gunna get \'em!     Barked: Wed May 15, '13 7:03pm PST  Ava and Nix, Agree with the Rottie! Our neighbor has one that is a total love bug IF you know his name, his family is home, and I don't pass his driveway with my half-his-size mongrels. If I don't follow those simple rules, I'm asking for it! They swear he wouldn't harm a fly... PSH! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > The Irish Wolfhound

Gunner Gunna get \'em!     Barked: Wed May 15, '13 1:02pm PST  So... We went to a dog show not so long ago. My other half and I ran into a stunning Irish Wolfhound and it's puppy (by puppy, I mean it was already at my waist. ) Anyway, the other half FELL. IN. LOVE. and has mentioned them to me multiple times in the last few months. "...Wouldn't it be fun..." he begins. Well, I'll obviously contemplate the future with these lookers, ...but... I don't know that the temperament would actually fit into our lives (futuristic, of course). I need to know what they are like 1. to live with. 2. to feed. 3. to vet. 4. to train. Are they like those "sweet" but slightly pig-headed and totally unwilling to please Great Danes? How great are they REALLY with families. Are the puppies terrible? Someone give me real-world information on these guys. I've gotten to where I don't believe books about dogs... or the internet. lol. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > *****DO NOT BUY FROM KEYSTONE PUPPIES******

Gunner Gunna get \'em!     Barked: Wed May 15, '13 12:36pm PST  Quincy, I absolutely love a calm lab. Sadly, here in Texas (especially the rural regions here in East Texas) often view dogs as little more than livestock, or a tool that they don't take care of (especially when they're used as hog dogs--usually kept in a pen outside until it's needed to track down a hog. At which point they get lost 1 in 3 times. Or gored 3 in 3 times. Except well-trained dogs who are actually kind of smart...these aren't usually labs though...ah...I digress). My point is that I am unsure if I have ever met a well-bred field or bench Labrador. Only a couple of them that I have had the pleasure of playing with have been mellow. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
