Breedia Dog Forum
the breed standard doesn't not specify how a dog should stand. That's down to what is expected in the showring. You stand the dog to show it to...
That's a very good point. As far as the stance being 'natural' for a GSD, I have never seen a GSD free stand like that tbh. People seem to always...
As Joedee says sometimes it's the show stance, but I've seen a lot with really exaggerated sloped backs even in normal movement and stance. The...
My experience of Irish terriers is that they are cracking dogs IF they are properly socialised BUT they are powerful terriers and you have to be firm...
They are IMO they best Elkies in the UK. Sadly I couldn't face another...:-(
Hi, I've owned an Elkhound and they are lovely pets. The barking can be a nuisance but we trained our to be 'quiet'. If he barked whilst in the...
I've never met a Ridgy that wasn't lovely. My friend has a ridgeless bitch. She is a bit stubborn, as one would expect from a hound, but she's a...
they were very beautiful, as one would expect. They looked like what they were to me. My OH said 'there's Mallys on the TV' coz they looked like...
Back to the original topic...I saw the episode with the wolf hybrids, and I must admit I was uncomfortable about the breeding of these animals just...
congratulations! He's lovely!

Oh this is so confusing!!!! So if the conformation, movement, temperament and everything else were outstanding, they may over look the fact that...
Aww. Cool name. Has he done well in the show ring?
Oh right. I take it they wouldn't be likely to get placed though? I didn't realise White GSDs could be shown. I thought it was seen as a fault.
Well I never knew that! I thought they were only recognised by the FCI. You learn something new every day...
It's permissable in Europe but not the UK. Funny you should say that coz I've just finished grooming a Schnauzer pup and we were discussing...
When Loki was neutered his coat remained the same texture. Maybe it's more of a factor in bitches?
I've got a couple of elderly Shelties that come in for grooming and they are both sweet old ladies! I think it all depends on environmental factors...
HI, I don't think Kruse was implying you were after a pit bull, but as he says, reputable breeders breed to a standard and many back yard breeders...
I think the first one looks like it could be a bitch, that's why it's not as heavy looking. JMO. The second one looks more like a modern saint...
