I was initially interested in them cause I always heard they don't shed much. The other cat will jump to the top of the TV center. That's a little higher than the doorway except she jumps from the window ledge. Still quite a feat. They do like to be up as high as possible. |

I prefer my house not smell like stale cat piss and litter box clay all the time. If you own a cat - you don't smell it. If you walk into someone's house that owns a cat (and you don't), you most assuredly do. |

My cat taking things into his own paws when he decided the newspaper was getting more petting time than he was.

New pup!
Cedar Springs Shall Return (MacArthur) My previous labs were 10 and 13 lbs respectively at 8 weeks old. They are around 70 and 75 lbs each. The new fella is eighteen lbs. We went the snob route with this guy and searched for several breeders until we found one with conformation lines that I liked. I wouldn't trade my two boys for anything in the world, but lemme tell ya, this is going to be a gorgeous damn dog. His facial structure, his build, all of it is just significantly different from my 2 boys (or the foster puppy we had). He cracks me the hell up. He's still not all that coordinated and he frustrates easily, but I get the idea he's going to be awfully easy to train. |

Not gonna sift through all of this but anyone have any experience in raising a Shibu Ina?? Or even an Ainu if you're that lucky??
I want to get one for the lady for her bday in March and I'm just curious as to how they are (even though I've read all good things). |

He'd be a ring dog, but I'm not going to show him. He's on a limited registration from my breeder unless I can demonstrate that I'm taking the necessary steps to ensure a successful show career. Frankly, that's a lot of work and I just won't have the time for it. I may take him to some local shows just for grins, but on a limited registration, he can't go to a true 'points' show.
Like I said - I was just being a snob. My 2 boys are from field lines and I decided I wanted a big ol' blocky one as well. You just can't find a more regal looking dog than one of those big 'field and stream' looking black labs. Both his parents have their Champion title but his dad also has a WC (working certificate). So he should have plenty of drive. And if I wanted to put him in the ring, I could. But my dogs have it pretty easy - just layin' on the couch and fetching stuff as they please. |

Nothing wrong with bein a dog snob. Ive had many off champions.
IMO you tend to get a better dog body and mind when you spend alittle. This isnt always true and the 'good dogs are where you find them' is alot more hit and miss than goin to someone who knows there dogs front and back. you into the whole pedigree research? |
