General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Re: List of breeds by country
« on: October 31, 2008, 08:23:48 pm »I was shocked to see all the breeds from India, most of which I have never even heard of.
Yeah, funny that you mention, that's what I spent most of my time on. These breeds are poorly documented--well, in English, anyways, I would not know if there was a wealth of info written in pujabi
For some even a picture was hard to find in google image.

Don't allow yourself to get upset-the guy is clearly not playing with a full deck if ya know what I mean... I mean come on, kicking sand?? Was he wearing a tin foil hat?
As far as I know, dogs vocalize when they play to let the other dog know if it's too rough. It's called communication. I think this loony does not know too much about dogs!

I thought a Newfie doggy door consisted of a sawing off the bottom half of your door!

I side with everyone else who said to crate train. Honestly, it does miracles.
We have a 4 month old pup, and we had been resisting crate training because we were skeptical. We kept him in our room at night on the floor, and he did fine. The crate that he was shipped in was there, it was being stored in our closet and I kept his toys there, open door so he could access them. Last week, we started noticing that he was spending time in his crate on his own free will!
So 3 nights ago, after a solid month of stellar night-time behavior, he goes and chews up 2 of our wires. He seemed to be in a mischievous mood so we decided to finally try the crate. No problem!! he's on night 3 of crate sleeping, and he's doing fine, and I find I sleep a bit better knowing there's no tazmanian devil torpedoing around my precious personals, lol. There is also so much less rustling around, so he must be getting better nights himself.

Thanks for the welcomes guys!
Diesel truely is a dirty boy... yet i can't resist bringing him to the beach so who's to blame really...
I learned an important lesson yesterday: it is really difficult to walk a big newfy puppy down a busy street in downtown Vancouver while trying to eat a very cheesy half melted poutine. Utter chaos!

Our adorable Diesel!
He's 4 months old now. We got him a month ago. Turns out he was actually born on our wedding aniversary. Neat-o, eh?
He's the wet guy lying in stinky seaweed in the pic above
Diesel likes: little dogs, peanut butter, visits to grandpa's, the kitchen floor, the banjo and little kids.
Diesel doesn't like: floors being sweeped, mopped or vacuumed, eye booger removal, play pens, drums and garbage trucks.
I'm Diesel's personal servant, Melanie. He has two servants, the other is my husband Tom.
