Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

All of ours are rescues--we're not 100% sure if any are actually pure's or not, though the lab, and one of the Rotties looks like it. The Rottie in the front is the newest addition, my husband picked her up on the side of the road a few months ago, and we never could find a home for her. We're still somewhat looking, as three dogs and a baby (almost 2 now) are a handful--and we're nuts enough to want another baby...some days at least!!
I personally would love to keep her, as she's a sweetie, and I love Rotties, plus most people are scared of them, which is a bonus when I'm outside with them and someone tries to use our yard as a shortcut...
All of your babies are beautiful! How long have you had them? (hijacking thread into a dog one...)

Hee hee I hope we don't get in twubble hee hee.
The fourth dog Fly I have had a little over 4 years. I adopted her as soon as I got my own place. The Rotti I adopted last summer (2003), as a friend that worked with the SPCA said if they (SPCA) took him he would be put to sleep due to his breed and the fact that he had been living outside his whole life. He has the husly aloofness, but does like a good snuggle.
The blue merle Aussie was a gift last year from an old rich guy trying to woo me. She is a pet shop dog and due to learning to "go potty" on a wire mesh floor, house breaking her was a long long nightmare. She is also very timid of everything, although there couldn't be a more snuggly dog!
The second Aussie was brought to me by someone who had just had a baby, and for some reason wanted to be rid of the dog she had raised up for 7 years from a pup. This dog had been "dog aggressive" but five minutes with the other Aussie (who LIVES to play with others) and I haven't seen any aggression to another dog yet!
I think my saving grace is the local leash free dog park. I have a small yard, so I walk them twice a day to do "business" and then let them run in the yard, but the huge dog park really allows them to let off some steam!
I do get in quite a few requests fortaking in dogs, although I run a small REPTILE rescue and not a dog one. It breaks my heart that I can't take all of them.
Your dogs are so lucky to have someone with as big a heart as you!

You're both right! He's a Corgi-Aussie mix. Well, we think he is, anyway. His mom is a Pembroke Corgi. Her owner sent her off to be bred to a Pembroke male, but most of the pups came out blue! Since blue is NOT a pembroke color, she emailed the breeder and asked her what else could have gotten to her. Anyway, the breeder never responded, just sent the stud fee back. So I got a free puppy! We think the father must have been either Aussie or Blue Heeler. The consensus opinion has been Aussie, but we will never know. The other possibility is that the pembroke stud had cardigan in his bloodline, but I kinda doubt it. Anyway, he goes to work with me everyday (I work for a vet), and I've had many people tell me they have seen cardigans that look just like him.
I also have 4 dogs. Dexter, a dachund-poodle mix. Bogey, a registered pembroke corgi. Jake, a jack russell terrier. And Shorty, the corgi mix. Shorty is ~6 months old now. Here's a collage of the boys I made the other day.

Hey Danni, we make a great team for guessing breeds!!
Melissa, all of your babies are adorable!! I'm no longer feeling quite as crazy for having 4 dogs now either!!
Danni, we got the lab, Ebony 5 years ago, she's about 6, same for the chow/shep? mix, Ricky. Trinity is the Rottie mix we got almost 3 years ago, making her almost 4, and the new Rottie, Honey, is almost a year old now, being about 9 months or so when my husband picked her up. They're all super, and for the most part get along well. Honey is a bit food/toy aggressive, though we're working on that....I wish I could take in more, but I really think that would earn me a free trip to the insane assylum!

You CANNOT keep dwarf seahorses with anything else. You might get away with very small snails. NO shrimp, especially not peppermint shrimp, and no gobies, or fish of any type.
Try to get some captive bred dwarfs, and you might find someone who has them feeding on frozen foods. Otherwise, you have to hatch brine for them EVERY day. No feeding brine from the store, they have to be fresh hatched.
Dwarf seahorses(or any seahorse species) are very high maintanance and not for the light of heart. They are extremely rewarding to own and watch, as long as you're willing to set them up correctly and raise them responsibly.
You can try going to " www.seahorse.org " for more info.
