Nothing lately!

 

[lefty]

She's growing up. Any recent pics? Is she filling out a little?

I'm not so sure it's due to any maturity on her part; I've just kept her away from those worn out tennis balls. Actually, tennis as a whole doesn't seem to agree with her - I had her running around on a tennis court a few weeks back and she wore through the pad on one of her front paws. I noticed when she started leaving bloody paw prints all over the court. Healed up in a day or so, though. I'll have to get some new pics. She looks much the same to me; maybe her chest is filling out a bit. She's just over a year and a half now. Don't think I ever posted this one from about 4 months ago:

and this one I think was in the winter pics thread, but not in here:

Nice shots - she's a good looking dog. Are people friendly with her or wary because of her breed?

^^^Very nice pics, a great looking dog.

 

[dcg]

Thank you both.

lefty, people are generally very friendly towards her. I've been pleasantly surprised.

Any progress in your search for a Boxer pup?

My trip to the championships was cancelled due to the ash cloud and I didn't get to see the dog I wanted to. But there is a litter in Germany I am interested in.

[dcg]

Damn ash cloud. I was looking forward to your impressions of Budapest.

Hope the litter in Germany works out.

 

[lefty]

I was looking forward to my impression of Budapest also.

Oh well.

Hey Lefty,

I had a question similar to a earlier one. But I am interested in getting a dog, but need help deciding, I really want a great dane or a mini dachshund. But I live in a 1000sq ft apartment in the city and was wondering what breeds you think would be good for 2-3 30 minute walks? I always like the big dogs but I also wanted something I can bring with me when I go downtown. This would be my first dog, so I would definitely go to training classes at the local petco or petsmart, I would probably go to a rescue for whichever breed to avoid house breaking issues.

Thanx

 

[lefty]

Get both.

[ItzJimmy]

Haha, That was actually my original plan but felt embarrased to admit it since I was a first time dog owner. Can both breeds adjust to a calm city lifestyle?

 

[lefty]

Kidding. But you're at extremes with these two breed.

The Dane can be handled in a small place, but chances are you'll be paying thousands in vet bills and the dog will die long before it's 10.

The Mini-Dachshund could be a more manageable choice thought it too will come with a set of problems.

Go to a dog show and meet the breeds up close and personal. That may help you narrow your decision. Once you pick I may be able to point you in the right direction.

Cop shoots dog thinking it was charging him.

 

[lefty]

Nothing will happen to that cop. Keep your dogs secured.
