The Dog House

I take this as a missuse of corgi photography, not toys, though many of the newly bred ones are near clones. I'm not against Region, just the corgi dumbdown going on in breeding.

Dog hair everywhere?

Alternative medicine

No. I see that sounded off the wall, but I meant it. I had a friend who knew the corgi breeding situation well - which I don't - and told me in so many words they are being bred for cuteness, etc. Not all breeders though. This friend called Pacco a ranch corgi and could make guesses where he was raised. Me, I found him in an animal shelter, his having been picked up strolling down a major highway, and being held in the shelter for a month.

Of course, I love them all, even the cutie pie ones.

Now I'll get sappy. I call corgi hair 'angel hair' - it wafts to the walls, especially to corners.

When my brother's Labrador used to moult (shed) in the spring, he used to call it "bum feathers".
No idea why.

Pit Bulls in denim.

Those doggies lawyer pix are hilarious.

vonny, The dog on the left is a Staffordshire terrier, aka pit bull. The dog on the right is a bull terrier--a different breed.

They both look good in denim, don't they?

Get off my back, you bitch!

It might be different over there, but in the UK, Staff Bull Terriers are not the same as pit bulls.
Pit bull terriers are totally banned over here. They are a lot larger than a Staffie.


Here's a UK Staffie.....his head is about knee high on an average (human) male.
A pit bull can be a lot heavier and taller. I read somewhere that they are usually a Staffie/mastiff cross. Could be wrong.




Later edit:

From Wiki.....
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a dog breed.[2] It is a medium-sized, solidly-built, short-haired dog whose early ancestors came from the British Isles. A member of the molosser breed group, both the American Staffordshire Terrier and the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) were bred from the same lineage, but received different names from the two American kennel clubs; Staffordshire was the name given by the American Kennel Club (AKC), and American Pit Bull Terrier by the United Kennel Club (UKC). When compared with the English Staffordshire Bull Terrier (another breed within the type commonly called pit bulls), the American Pit Bull Terrier is larger by margins of 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) in height and 25–35 pounds (11–16 kg) in weight.

Lordy, I said that a pit bull and a Staffordshire terrier are the same. I didn't know there was such a thing as a Staffordshire bull terrier.

Dese canines can make you crazy.

Staffies (the UK kind) really common in Australia - lots of crosses too. They always look like toadfish on legs to me. Something really striking about Bull Terriers - oddly appealing.

I just read this for the first time. This is appalling. What is the rationale for doing that?

I read of one saved dog, but, foggy memory, I think it was in a novel.

I agree it is appalling.

Probably some damned insurance matter.

Hi Set

These dogs are trained to work with Special Forces - they have a set of skills that make them potentially lethal. (So we aren't talking sniffer dogs).

Still hate it. They didn't sign up for squat.
