Working group.

Eric H., Thursday, 20 December 2007 00:33 (seventeen years ago)

Because they twerkin.

Eric H., Thursday, 20 December 2007 00:33 (seventeen years ago)

AKC is weaksauce. Breeds all the personality out of dogs until they are stuffed animals.

bnw, Thursday, 20 December 2007 00:37 (seventeen years ago)

shhhh

El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 December 2007 00:38 (seventeen years ago)

Oh, I mean the idea of the thing...I'm not one for making sure the dog is within the given parameters of AKC regs, resulting in brainitis and hip death and jaws that leak egg juice.

Abbott, Thursday, 20 December 2007 00:52 (seventeen years ago)

Working, obv, but nice unit on the Beagle.

rogermexico., Thursday, 20 December 2007 00:59 (seventeen years ago)

He looks proud of it, too.

rogermexico., Thursday, 20 December 2007 00:59 (seventeen years ago)

I like Hounds.

Hounds are fantastic!

Abbott, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:02 (seventeen years ago)

Especially beagles, bassets, bloodhounds and dachshunds.

The blue-green world is drenched with horse gore, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:12 (seventeen years ago)

All beagles are crazy. Fact.

rogermexico., Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:12 (seventeen years ago)

wtf herding u bitches

webber, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:14 (seventeen years ago)

Hound-herding-working

Has anyone seen the new breed created from German Shepherds? They're like 50% larger than a normal shepherd, it's insane.

milo z, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:17 (seventeen years ago)

I voted for terriers, but was sorely tempted by hounds and working groups.

Oilyrags, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:17 (seventeen years ago)

There are like four actual breeds of dogs that I can stand, and the rest just kind of make me angry that they exist. My favorite kind of dog is nth generation mutt so that you can't tell what breeds, if any, went into it in the first place

basenjis are good, but bad dogs.

http://www.wildpromotie.nl/jagerslatijn/pics/basenji-fence.jpg

Also, they are 3/4 monkey.

Oilyrags, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:20 (seventeen years ago)

Good gravy, I hope that woman is like 4 foot eight or something.

Oilyrags, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:21 (seventeen years ago)

Mutts are the best, I agree. What are the ones you like?

I like: dauchshunds, bassets, beagles, bull terriers, english bulldogs, newfoundlands, and greyhounds. And pitties!

Abbott, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:22 (seventeen years ago)

That shepherd is HORRORS

Abbott, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:22 (seventeen years ago)

hounds do not ever STFU

Dan I., Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:26 (seventeen years ago)

They're talkers.

Abbott, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:27 (seventeen years ago)

Basenjis are not merely talkers, but yodellers. But barkers. Just mad.

Oilyrags, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:32 (seventeen years ago)

but NOT barkers.

Oilyrags, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:32 (seventeen years ago)

My dog's always like, "Garumph. A rowmw rowmf romwf romwf romwf!" Actually, he never talked until one night I started imitating his sounds and now he thinks we can have conversations in Snitlandish all the time.

Abbott, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:40 (seventeen years ago)

Voted hounds. The bassets and the beagles are always the funnest part of the show, and it's great to see them happily gallomping around the green floor.

Herding dogs only have corgis.

rogermexico., Friday, 21 December 2007 00:05 (seventeen years ago)

Snitter: "Oh thank GOD, this girl has finally learned to talk. I was worried she was developmentally disabled what with all the incoherent babbling for all these years."

Oilyrags, Friday, 21 December 2007 01:55 (seventeen years ago)

i cant believe i missed this!

also, great danes are part of the working group and as a great dane owner i can tell you these dogs have neither the disposition nor the eye paw coordination to do, well, just about anything.

sunny successor, Friday, 21 December 2007 03:51 (seventeen years ago)

except be super cute and sugar sweet, of course

sunny successor, Friday, 21 December 2007 03:52 (seventeen years ago)

One of the world’s oldest and rarest breeds, the Xolo can justly be called the first dog of the Americas. Archaeological evidence indicates that Xolos accompanied man on his first migrations across the Bering Straits. Their name is derived from the name of the Aztec Indian god Xolotl and Itzcuintli, the Aztec word for dog. With a reputation as a healer, the breed and its warm skin is often put to use in remote Mexican and Central American villages to ward off and cure ailments like rheumatism, asthma, toothache and insomnia. Xolos were also believed to safeguard the home from evil spirits and intruders.

There are two varieties, hairless and coated, identical except for coat and dentition. In the hairless variety, the principal characteristic is the total or almost total absence of hair. The coated variety is covered by a short, flat coat. In conformation, all three sizes are lean, sturdy, well muscled with a spacious ribcage, and moderate bone. The Xolo outline is rectangular, and the distance from the elbow to ground is equal to, or slightly greater than the distance from the withers to the elbow. Typical Xolo temperament is calm, tranquil, aloof and attentive.

my parents have a coated Xolo and she is the best <3 <3
