When you first posted puppy shots of Muttly I would have said Pit mix. With the size he is now I definately agree with Charla. Rotty mix!

Pia, a lot of U.S. people think bringing a dog to Santa is nuts also.
OOPS! Did I say that with my outloud voice?
Luv ya Sis!

Pia, in addition to his titles, I've also trained Thunder in live search, cadaver search, water search and article search. I was on a Search and Rescue (SAR) team but left for political reasons. To many cheifs and not enough indians. When I left, so did half of the team. They started another organiz...

I don't look at intelligence and trainability as being the same thing. A dogs temperment/personality can be a huge influence on how much it can learn. Same with it's genetics. All of our club German Shepherd Dogs are either bred from, or imported dogs. The American Show line of GSD have been bred fo...

Charla, there are a lot of Schutzhund clubs out there but so many still train with to much defense on young dogs. We train all motivational, even the bite work. Thunder has a very serious side to him but has an incredible off/on switch. That comes form his breeding as much as his training. There are...

Fantastic Sam! On the occasion I get to the puter these days, your site is always one to drop in and relax with.

Since I'm tryin ta get back in the puter gig (within reason :lol: ) I thought I'd show a somewhat receint pic of Thunder. Some of you may remember him. Been busy having fun. Titles earned now; BH, SCHI, SCHII, CD, CDX, and his CGC certificate. Lots to go! http://www.rwdc.org/images/RWDC%203-07_0002_...

Well holy, stinky thorn bushes! How ya doing Vicky?
Been away myself. Lost the puter habit but trying to get it back (within reason ) Good ta see ya!

Got your E-mail sis!
What a great looking little dog. That pic is a perfect example of how they got the name Papillion (French for Butterfly).
Aside from the terriers, that's the only small breed I'd like to have. Tops in intelligence and trainability!

Alwaus keep in the back of your head that, once Joey truely settles in, the social structure could change. I still don't forsee any serious problems though. Family is all doing great. Still baby sitting three of the gkids 2-3 times a week :eek: . At least all but one is out of diapers now. :lol: Dog...

Hey Pia! I got an e-mail from a little bird today and she asked if I might drop in and look at your situation. bottom line is you have two very normal dogs. They seem to get along fine other then the bone issue. That's quite normal. A bone can bring out the worst in the best of buddies. It would be ...

I haven't been on forever so I hope this isn't a done deal. Introduce the two dogs on neutral territory. That should take away any "need" for the present dog to "defend" his territory. That wil go a long way in helping you decide if this will work. They will still have to work out who's the boss but...

Definately a Sweet Autumn Clematis! I had them popping up all over the garden at the old house.

Just quoted my own post. Ment to edit it to say the there should be no problems with Curtis since he was there first.
Does the breeder you have in mind have a web site? If so send it to me e-mail.

Great choice sis! The Pap is the only toy breed to be ranked in the top ten breeds for being the most trainable. Sorry I wasn't home when you called. I dodn't seem to EVER be home anymore. :lol: Best training book is Purely Positive training by Shelia Booth. She had a big part in the Positive train...

Perfect example of my favorite saying at the beginning of each new obedience class when I taught those. "The only thing wrong with your dog is the idiot at the other end of the leash"! The dog is young enough that IF the problems aren't genetic, it should make a nice recovery with lots of sociolizat...

If it's not to late I'd like to stress the primer before the paint. It's actually the primer that helps the paint bond to the surface. Paint by itself is more apt to peel.

I've had it in a 2x5 spot for years. It can't go anywhere because of landscaping timbers. Love the blue flowers and the great red fall leaf color.
