LOL on the entire repertoire. That was my chow/coyote. I would just wait til she stopped and give THE command (or give it again if she started AFTER I had given it.. but most of the time she started the second she knew I had a treat) when she was ready to listen. But it was cute.
Portuguese Water dog
-
I heard on the Nightly News last night that sales of Portuguese Water dogs are up 100% according to the Wall Street Journal. I am SO glad the Obama's did not get a basenji!
-
Yea, thank God! A Basenji would run the White House. You could see TV shots of it doing the B-500 around the place.
-
Our queen Juliana used to have a basenji, and it didnt get a run on basenjis in the Netherlands, as well as it never does when an important person gets a certain dog, our queen Beatrix used to have a border terrier and it didnt make that breed more popular either, I think dutch people are too sober for such things, allthough chihuahuas are a hype here at the moment >sugh<
-
About 2 weeks ago I all ready did the email thing to Obama asking him were he was going to set up the resuce for Portguese Water Dog. I also ask how much money he was going to give to it since he made such a big deal out of the dog and the kind. I told them there would be lots of them need homes with in less than a year. Never heard anything back.

Yep, look what's happened with the poor Pit Bull. Every thug wants/ has one to make into a weapon.
-
This has happen to Pit your right, Rot, Akita, Shepard, Chow. All good dogs it's who and what owns them.

well we have a lot of nuts dutch people too you know….
like most people over here still think that a collie is a "lassie" and that makes a shetland sheepdog a "mini-lassie" and that chihuahuas are fashion toys
and I think what happened to the pittbul is worldwide at not only in the USA, here in the Netherlands it was because of this that pitbulls and pitbull like dogs without a pedigree that stated it was another breed ( am staff for example ) were forbidden and could get conviscated and put down to sleep!! fortunately this law isnt here anymore, as the people who abused pittbulls and made them into weapons easily use another breed that isnt forbidden by law.....what happened to the chow over there? I know there is something with the chow in the USA but I actually dont understand what, can somebody explain me please?
-
Chow was used in the same way as a pit. People made them mean sometimes as guard dog but in bad way. I love Chows but they have a real bad name some of our insurance companys will not insure you if have Pit, Rot, Akita, German Shepard or Chow. Really to bad they are all great dogs its the owners not the dog.
This is our third akita over the years they have been lovers. Jyacee our B came in as a puppy he loves her funny to see the akita and he is a long hair at that at 140 lbs with this little red and white beside him. Our akita even cleans the face on our daughters cat not sure cat likes it but she takes it really well.
I have never brought a older male dog into our home with the akita I am sure he would do all right but I would really worry they may not like him and he is to big not to like.
Really funny people look at us when we are walking Jaycee the B, Spice the Shiba and Sterling the Akita. You do not see any of these three here were we live. Have you always lived in the Netherlands? I've never been out of the States but been to all of the states almost.

LOL, i love your comment Nobarkus about a Basenji running the White House. What a thought, perhaps we could do with one in Downing street, i'm sure it would make a better job.
I didn't realise Queen Juliana had a Basenji ibi n sane. Our queen has Corgis which i dont think are very popular Dogs here. -
