Breedia Dog Forum
There isn't one! (Not that I know of anyway.) If the only dogs that should pull sleds/scooters are those purposely bred to do it, then perhaps NO...
Because NIs do it for FUN - because both they and their owners enjoy it. As I said before, sled dogs are not for everyone. I don't think I would make...
For the same reason some Mal owners ask their dogs to do agility and obedience. Are they trying to make Mals agility and obedience dogs?
I think NI owners who do this do it because both they and the dogs enjoy it! Purposely-bred sled dogs are not for all as I'm sure you'd agree. A NI...
I have tried it with other unwanted behaviour too. I think it works so well with NIs because they are particularly social and really do hate being...
LOL it's probably a 10 year old! Either that or someone with a very immature brain.
I agree totally. Of course every breed will throw dogs with certain breed faults, particularly those pertaining to the look of the dogs, when health...
Many colours are permitted, as are both heavy and standard coats. You have probably been looking at immature dogs to notice a difference in ear...
I have been told there is no test for epilepsy at present. I have only heard of one NIS dog having epilepsy and it is believed to be caused by a...
Louise13, exactly what are the differences you see between the dogs which make you think there is not a 'type'?
The NIS does NOT breed from dogs with epilepsy.
I think you might be confusing the NIS with another NI group here. As Razcox pointed out - why not take a look at the pics of the Essex show?
I'd be interested to find out more about your dog's pedigree. As you know, the NIS say they LINEbreed dogs, not INbreed them. When you say your dog...
TIDA says that it: Therefore they still ALLOW crossbreeding, whereas the NIS does not. The NIS has a large enough genepool of pure NIs to...
This is incorrect. It's the narrator who says they are from wolf hybrids. The lady in question asserts that the interview was heavily edited to cause...
Spike was jumping up at people too but he's MUCH better now. I use two methods, depending on whether the visitor is OK with jumping up or not (some...
I expect that's why I've never seen it before. Tx for that Malady. I MUCH prefer the 'English' version.
I don't understand the difference - is that how they do it in Germany then?
Wow! I had heard stuff about breeding GSDs with sloping backs but haven't seen one that slopey 'till now. Is that normal now?
Spike does this too! He quickly picks up on what you USUALLY say next so training sessions do need to be varied.
