What does your dog look like?

She's also an efficient mulcher of all the branches that have fallen from the three trees in the yard, and will chew up anything soft or hard that's big enough to be torn or fits in her mouth. She's not the brightest dog, either... she still enjoys chasing her tail around til she falls down, and knocks her head into EVERYTHING. Its a very hard head though, she's headbutted me a few times.

Btw kazoo, I think your dog is more shepard than mine, but I'm amazed how similar they look!

Callie has outgrown it now, but she used to chew on everything. She seriously chewed through an entire couch in a matter of an hour. It was not good.
But she's always been pretty lazy, even as a puppy. She would play for a while, but was really more the lay-around kind of dog, even then

They do look alot alike. Callie has the merle coloring of an aussie mixed in though.

That's how my dogs came to have their own loveseat...an how I lost the furniture battle with Blade. During our initial struggles, he destroyed my sofa. I refused to replace it for 2 years, then put up a futon I had had in storage. the battle commenced, and when neither of us would relent he started opening it up. Gave him the loveseat when we got the new sofa and we were both satisfied with the outcome

What a beautiful dog! Do you know what breed he is?

Beautiful dogs, and I love the first pic. "Let Me Back In" Too funny! I love puppies!

I love that breed, bit hyper for me though. I couldn't keep up with one.

The last pic is of My male Akita Hunter who died about about a year and a half ago. The best dog ever.

Thank goodness your animals found you, they all sound like they were in need of a loving home. I am sorry for the loss of your Hunter though. He was lucky to have such a kind hearted owner.

Toto aka the demon dog , just kidding. I can't believe the way some people treat animals, I would have shot HIM in the foot with his own gunl. As for the whole my girlfriend doesn't like dogs thing, personally my opinion on it is you don't like my dog, I don't like you. We're a package deal. Well, they are all lucky that they found a home with you.

Oh, she /he is so adorable. I wold have said Rotti, but after seeing the last pic I honestly have no idea. Looks a bit like Dobi. Whatever the breed, you have a really nice dog there.

And I'm sure that's more than any of you wanted to see.

They are gorgous! Big boys though. To think about a dog as big and bad looking as Blade, being afraid of getting wet, too funny.

He fancies himself quite the bada$$, and carries a bit of a chip on his shoulder...but he's my boy. my wife says this so often I can hear it as I type this: "because Kronas never does anything wrong" (dripping with sarcasm from her, but IT'S TRUE). Blade, presa canario. 6 yrs, 160 lbs, with at least 3/4 of it being mush. He's a big baby with anyone he knows, but I wouldn't want to be the one he decides shouldn't be there. Affectionately referred to as Candya$$, because he is such a pansy about getting his feet (or the rest of him) wet, lol. Isaac, pitbull (mix?). the new arrival he's probably 5-6yrs, been here for 2 of them. shelter rescue. lotsa bad habits initially, but super eager to please. 70 lbs of lickin love that will, when warranted, join in the exuberant warnings of the other two...but only when warranted.
(yeah, I just snatched the pics off my website - but there are others scattered in a few threads here)
