DOG

[Diaphone Jim]

Great name, sort of rolls off the tongue.

The bushy tail curls in a circle over the back in a ring and has a white tip. It falls gently onto the dog's back or to one side. Purebred Karelian Bear Dogs have tails that curve into a circle rather than a sickle. Black speckles in the white sections of fur are considered to be a fault.

Oh my, your tail grows in a sickle and you have black speckles, you can't join our country club.

you don't really need a gun if you have one of these

I'm no longer shocked at how aggressive Benny is towards the uninvited. I could see him getting good blood flow. Thing is he's so smart he might figure out a quick way to kill instead of maim...

Owner: "There used to be a bed in there"

[Griff]

That's a better bed!

Squirrels and foxes are just stairmasters to Benny.

I just realized Benny's turning 8. We're age-mates now.

Figures...

I think this might be the cutest thing I've ever seen.

from the description, the pup was only 20 days old but wasnt removed from its mum, they also own the mum.

We had a Malamute once, they're very high energy dogs. They howl, not bark. A good dog, but I don't think I'd have another one.

[DanaC]

I wouldn't make a very good Malamute owner, I don't think. They're the kind of dog that needs to know its person is indisputably in charge. I mean, all dogs need to know you are the leader, to feel safe, but Malamutes need that more than most. Add that to the very high energy levels, and it can be a bit of a disaster for all concerned, if they find themselves in the wrong household. I think they do best with a family, especially if there are a couple of youngsters about to help soak up that energy.

Gorgeous dogs though. The less rational part of me would adore one :P

We've been entertaining our neighbour's Viszla for a few hours a day recently.
The social distancing rules and regs are observed as the neighbour lets the dog go at the top of our drive and she makes her own arrangements from there.



Apologies for it being slightly out of focus, but it's what we hip young things know as a selfie.

[DanaC]

Awwww, man, Viszlas are beautiful dogs. There are a couple of them round about the village. One of them has a real thing for Carrot - always comes over to say hi.

They always look to me like they could sit right between a Weimaraner and a Rhodesian Ridgeback in looks.

I have a particular fondness for the wirehaired vizsla - which you don't see many of, I think I have probably only ever met 2 or 3 my whole life.
