Guard dog pictures! and cats :)

Dude- I am really sorry to hear about the loss of your Ridgeback. I recall your words back in the thread I ran about a year ago re: dog breed selection.

Your new pup is beautiful.

One of my favorite threads with a bunch of great looking companions. Our Cabo is now 14 months and she is as energetic as can be!



EDIT: Wife insisted she needed a Thanksgiving color bandana on to be festive...

Honda Roo also doubles as a pillow when the need arises....by far the best dog Ive ever had. Whats funny about her is we got her from an ex boyfriend of my sisters. They were moving around, and we took her to stay at our place for a little while. A little while turned into weeks which turned into months. They split up, and this guy never came back to get his dog. That was about 9 years ago or so.

We are not exactly sure what breed but strongly think she is at least half Aus Cattle Dog and something like a Rottie for her colors.






Here is Roxy again, too. Minature Aus Shepherd. She doesnt miss a beat, and NOTHING gets by our house without her knowing about it. Sometimes the little ones make good guard dogs too....

i never posted a pic before,if this works ill get a better pic later.



ok then, that was easy.

Looks like a real trouble maker.

She's a toy fox terrier.. a handful for sure.. I've never seen a pup with that much energy. If it wasn't for persistence of vision, I'm not sure you could see her most the day until nap time.

Belmont- what's the deal with your miniature Aussie? I had never heard of this type prior to getting my own Aussie. Are they true Australians bred for small size, or is it a consistent cross-breed..? Inquiring minds and all that...

I might be rescuing a Siberian Husky this weekend, by far my favorite breed.
This is my friends Siberian, his name is Capone and he is awesome

They are not an AKC registered breed but there are some other larger kennel groups that do. Mine came with a pedigree and we were able to register her with an aussie group.


As far as genetics goes Im not 100% but they have all the same characteristics as full size dogs. Ive had a few regular aussies over the years and they are great dogs. We got this mini from a breeder in WA state, and they got for some $$$. We got Roxy just in time as a breeder in Germany told the lady he would pay double what we were and then have to pay airfare to Germany.


And ours is actually quite small for a mini. Usually they are about 15-20lbs. Ours is 9, and the breeder said she is the smallest puppy they have ever had.

Cool. Same behavior too, versus the standard?
