Breedia Dog Forum
Blaze eats grass and other greenstuff too. She's very particular about which leaf from which plant she chooses. I think dogs instinctively know...
Great video! Thanks for sharing it - and the dogs were lovely. And hey - check out that dog park!! It was ace!! I wish we had one like that around...
The guy who created them, Dr. Cattanach, calls them bob-tailed boxers and he also refers to their tails as 'naturally docked'.
It's definitely a difficult situation and I can't see NIs becoming a KC recognised breed in the foreseeable future. However I am more concerned with...
Thanks for the link Pita - I've bookmarked it.
Because TIDA (and other groups) are using dogs that the NIS would definitely NOT use - such as those with epilepsy and serious breed faults. Also...
This is exactly what's happening with NIs, because those who left the NIS (after being banned or removed from their posts as described above), have...
Should these rules not apply to ALL breeds, both new AND established?

I haven't attended an AGM yet as they're in Essex and too far for me to travel. I am hoping to ask some questions by proxy at the next one so I'll...
Just because SOME people can't see the type, doesn't mean the breed is not recognisable. There are many people who CAN see NIs as a recognisable...
I have read everything you have written in this thread. I just disagree with you on this point that's all. It's no big deal.
I think we've already established that Wiki can be unreliable as a source of information.
My point is, that you imply the only dogs that should pull are those purposely bred to pull, whereas dogs are very versatile and are often capable of...
Is that a fancy breed of hamster?
Perhaps then we should put an end to agility - it could be causing problems to the dogs' joints in the long run - all that jumping over heights and...
And there are many dogs who can pull - not only those that were bred to do it. Why is it a problem to allow a non-sled dog pull if it is capable and...
