and ass this site is hosted in the US


boy, you got brass ones today, calling Jafo an ass

me thinks the better of the two would be to use the proper English spelling with the "U" rather than have the type-o with the extra "s"

KG, I also have a mini-dachshund. However we prefer to call them "Teckels"
Notsure if we are talking about the same kind, there are very much species of them. Mine is brown with black, a bit like these one:

Ah, you have a wire haired dachshund.

Mine are- 1 red smooth, 1 red dapple smooth, and a long haired black and tan.

They have three coat types (long, short/smooth (most common) and wire haired) and *tons* of color variations.  red and black & tan are the most common, though.  I'll see if I can dig up some pictures of them.

yes, mine is indeed wire haired and is black & tan.

BoXXi Goldens are tops

though I still am at a loss at figuring out why Boomer thinks he can sleep on my pillow while I am attempting to do the same, and he acts as if it is his!

dabe, I wouldn't worry too much about the "wolf" in your dog. If she has some in her, it's not much. Wolves are *much* bigger than she is.


Karmagirl, I'm not "worried" about the wolf in her. And, it's definitely there. But, you are right about the content. She's considered to be "low content" wolfdog, in that her mother was 2nd generation part wolf. Her father was purebred Shepherd. But, as I said, as low content as she is, she did retain some of the wolf. Makes for a very cool dog. But, I do know that she cannot run loose in the neighborhood. Not because she's dangerous, but because she's so intimidating looking. That photo on my desktop doesn't even begin to really show what she looks like. And she is very big for a female Shepherd, weighing in at 105 lbs.

I love my lil' doggie. I'm lucky I found her. She's lucky she found me. We needed eachother, for sure.

Belgium (spelling) Shepards are really fantastic also, though I have wanted a hybred for years.

Wolves are actually more civilized than human beings...

My cat Lil Bit is a Showering Cat, she jumps in whenever I, let her. Most of the others do not like it. Prissy is addicted to Pounce Treats, and can go through 2 Big, jars a week if I let her. My Queen of the Roost is Patchy. Baby was rescued from under the bonnet of a new Pontiac, Grand Am, after travelling 40 miles, wedged in between the motor and the serpentine belts, and is now the fattest of the whole caboodle, of cats. Punkin was recued from the Dump, and The rest were picked up, in similar circumstances.
Now I am not allowed to go to places (ALONE), where I might get a Cat, for free. Pet Stores, Flea Market, Dump etc... I had a SugarGlider (Wingnut), but he died from misadventure. I also had 8 Roosters, and 11 Hens, but wild Dogs wiped out my Flock before I could do anything about it. My 2 Goats got to mean for us to handle and was relocated to a goat farm not far away. Where they are very, happy with their newest kidd.

yep. It's all about "family" with wolves. and chain of command(all the firefighters and service men/women thought they came up with chain of command!)

Of that, I have no doubt.

ewww ahhhhh

and




and



Wolf Grey Sheperds

and






My wife fears them though because of the cross Belgium/Dobie (Hawkeye)I had when we met. She was an fantasticly friendly and loving pup but, she was extreamly jelous when Diane and I moved in together. In time Diane did not want her sleeping in the bed, then the room and once that happened and the door was shut at night everything that was Dianes ended up being chewed to bits. Then when Diane was pregnant with Justin, Hawkeye really started getting moody, so she ended up with a Cop's in Daytona Beach.


Everyone wanted to know why I didn't call her Radar because of her ears/ Man did she have a set of ears on her

Feet, legs, teeth and those freaking EARS!

She looked, mmmm, people gave her space, but she wouldn't do anything but knock them down and lick them silly.

IP, that picture is of my Aunt and Uncle's dogs (I took a "portrait" for them).  They are very well trained and well mannered dogs.  I stick with the "small" breeds, though.

They are beautiful KarmaGirl

I love all dogs and yes even cats, animals in general

I think humans have much to live up to when comparing humans with any other living animal and fail miserably in many instances...

Sad but I do not have any of my old photos anymore, when my wife and I separated the last time I took everything with me because we thought that was it. I moved to another state and ended up meeting someone and living with them for a while, then somethings took place that brought me back here in the matter of 12 hours and I had to leave everything there thinking I would eventually go back and get it all or pay to have it shipped.

Thought, being the operative because the person I had been living with did not think much of my leaving as I did even though there were not any attachments.

So some of my paintings and loads of my drawings, pictures, poems and songs ended up in a trash bin...

what I have now is all that is left and much of that was things that I had left at my momsters when I went into the service at 17.

anyway...

HawkEye had the look of a short hair Belgium if there was such a critter. She was extremely protective of children and never left my side unless I told her to.

Dabe....the images need to be online...on a website....not on a harddrive...
Reply #73 Top
They are on a website. I'm wondering if I need to point to the original image size, instead of the smaller version that pbase gives a viewer the option of looking at. I didn't want to link the large image cuz it's Large. I'll just try one, and see if that works.
