This is Rosie. Taken a few weeks ago so need to get some more recent ones onto photobucket: [IMG] She's my first BT although I've met many of them...
Don't know if it's any help, but at 9 weeks, Rosie weighed 3lb 3 oz. They are all different, but I think the weight shows they are very, very tiny...
I have a 6 month old Border Terrier (Rosie) Fantastic little madam with plenty of character, but still happy to cuddle up. She certainly keeps us...
Yes, but that information isn't widely available and would only be acceptable if the vet checked his practice's records over the decades to back up...
The KC data shows the test results, but does it show accurately the longevity results? Dogs that develop hip problems later in life wouldn't show up...
Again, something we will never know because the vets don't yet link up and compare data. Had a national database been available now, it would be easy...
or perhaps that they have exaggerated it to make it look different from its working counterpart. Surely, if breeders had stuck to the original looks...
Sorry I was musing out loud :). I do agree with you and much as 'fit for function' sounds brilliant in theory, in practice would also mean drives...
That's something you'll never see except maybe on a very minor scale. Veterinary data has never been nationally kept and collated so we can only guess
Better for what? For function? For the show ring? Dogs are rarely worked in the job they were bred to do these days (of course, there are...
This doesn't make any sense. The GSD was originally bred specifically for the job, but originally didn't have the sloping back we see today so how...
Whatever he is, he is a little cutie :)
http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/download/1100/abshealthreqs.pdf By the looks of it, neither breed has any recommended KC checks :) Might be worth...
It's a chihuahua cross yorkie. The only way you are going to find what your looking for from a breeder is to ring the ones you see advertising and...
I loved a lot of the breeds, but have to confess that I like 'everday' cuts rather than 'show' cuts. Some of the dogs had so much hair that you...
I've never met one that had a bad bone in it's body. Lovely little dogs that are idea for pet ownership. Easy going and fun to have around. However,...
Often it's not the breed or the owner that is difficult, just simply a mis-match of the two. On saying that, owners are capable of learning too :) so...
Fabulous dogs, but you do need to ensure that you buy from an ethical breeder who has performed all the necessary health tests as there are many...
Wow! Stunning dog and stunning photo's
I wouldn't even be talking to him about it just yet. You could well scupper your relationship before it starts. When the time comes and you are both...
