Show Us Your Dogs!

Sign in to disble this ad


My wife and I have nine dogs. Here I am with my number one boy, Santana. My wife got him for me for Valentine's Day a few years back, from a breeder who was raising German Shepherds. His mother was a purebred German Shepherd, but his daddy was a rogue male, who was part White Shepherd, part Australian Shepherd, and part Wolf.

I don't think my boy, Santana has enough Wolf in him to be considered a hybrid. He mostly seems like a dog, but he is near impossible to keep in a pen, or fenced area, and you can't chain him out on a cable. He is an escape artist of the highest caliber, and has jumped a six foot fence from a standing position.

He is sweeter than sweet, and has a very gentle and charming personality, however on the rare occasion when bigger dogs have challenged him, he has triumphed without fail. He's around eighty pounds.

So why not post photos of your dogs? I have eight more, and I might drop one or two of them on here if the thread is successful.

The wife and I are down to one these days... we are looking at breed rescue groups for Cane Corsos and Rhodesian Ridgebacks

Here is Angus a couple weeks ago helping me work on our house.


He's an 11 year old pure bred Catahoula. We got him at 8 weeks from a breeder in Mississippi.

I'm such a sucker

Love my dog...





I've always loved the look of white shepherds, I think it's a shame that they're considered a defect of the breed. German Shepherds have been the easiest dogs I've ever had to train and a pleasure as a companion. I've got a huge soft spot for labs though.

Never runs out of energy, yet one of the most well trained and faithful dogs I know!

oh man, saw this thread and brought a tear to my eye

here's my Lhasa Apso "Skeeto"



he passed away a few weeks ago, I never owned a dog my whole life but we got him 11 yrs ago when he was just a pup and turned out to be my best friend all these years.

Thinking about getting another next year, waiting till all the holidays, NAMM, etc are over and can concentrate on another, they really do make your life complete

I got a few huskies.
Here's Tanner:

And here's Juno and Niko doing what huskies do in the snow:



And here's my two that are no longer with us:

This is my old Malamute, Jake. He passed a couple years ago at 15.
(Always loved this picture)



And finally here's Dakota. Lost her last spring at 13.

My 2 boys...

The brown dog is a lab/boxer and is now around 75#, the blondie is an 80# yellow lab. Both of these guys are LAZY, but go BEZERK when someone comes to the door.
