Well, I don't know where you got your info from, but they are def. NOT an AKC breed, and won't be anytime soon.

As for where to find one, I'd look on petfinder.com.  that would be your best bet..........a s most "breeders" of these designer breeds aren't breeding for the betterment of the breed.

I guess I've been lucky.  My dogs have usually chosen to destroy other people's things and not my own.  ;D

Can't wait to see some more pix of her.

Well, first of all, I have to say Woooooo! on getting a new pup!  Congrats!

In my experience, if Tink is a dominant female, you do probably want to go with a male.  What would happen if the female pup you got also turned out to be dominant?  That would not be a good match.  However, even if a male were dominant, the two of them would mesh much better.

2 females can live together just fine, provided there is only 1 dominant dog b/t the two of them. I know some people who only have same sex dogs and have multiples and they get along fine (for the most part).  But overall, male/female pairs tend to get along better and are more tolerant of one another.

Age difference can also play a part.  Tink is still young and their ages won't be that far apart.  Sometimes that can cause conflict b/t dogs vyying to be leader.  The same goes if there were a huge age difference.

So it can be done with no problems.  It just depends on your personal preference.  If you want to get a female, it should work fine.  Just make sure the new pup is not a dominant or alpha dog and there should be no problems.

Hello and welcome!  Congrats on your newest addition!
I'd love to see pix of him/her as well as your other dogs.
I love dogues, I met a number of them at a dog show a few weeks ago.  Saw my first one (in person) several years ago when working for a vet office.  Awesome dogs.

My name is Chris, and my crew consists of Keiko, a husky/shep mix, Gunther a great dane, and Nigel and Posey, 2 rat terriers.

« on: March 05, 2009, 05:28:58 am »
I've used a few different things in the past.

I used to use hydrogen peroxide.  But I ran out of that some time ago and they're always out of it at the store (unless I want a gallon of it).  So now I use Listerine.  I konw, sounds weird but it is a great cleaner and it makes their ears smell oh so fresh.......lo l.  ;)  Plus I always have that on hand.

Depending on the dog, I either use a cotton ball, or Q-tip to clean the ears.  Or in Gunther's case, both.

I don't live in the south, but in the midwest the summers get mighty hot (and humid) and we did spend 2 yrs in southern Ca. 

I would never consider shaving Keiko down.  I do believe their coats protect them just as much from the cold as they do from the heat (w/i reason of course). 

We just leave our activities to mornings and evenings during the warmer months.  And take in a lake or two when we can.
