Battercup is a 6 years old American Doberman Pinscher and Chloe the Pup at the time of this pic was only 2 months old. Chloe is now 9 months old almost as big as Buttercup. Both are AKC good citizens and I'm in the process of training Chloe to become a Certified Therapy Dog.

So cool. They're great service animals. I worked with 2 about 6 years ago.

Andy


and Georgia - Golden(Retriever) Doodle, though she took on the color of the Standard Poodle


Andy became, well, a dog, lol. He graduated puppy school, but that was as far as he'd go. Georgia was AMAZING. She moved to Chicago and is working in a hospital.

Good luck to you Chloe! Dream BIG girl.

Ohh Andy, you so silly...becoming a dog.

Lulu is displeased that you are plotting to steal her.

Omg!!! Those feetsies are too cute!!!

All of your puppers do such great things. My dopes do nothing but walk into walks and steal covers.

My Shelby. She is a 12 year old Xoloitzcuintle. Yes she is hairless!
Shelby is the smartest dog I have ever had the pleasure to be owned by.
Little Miss was house-trained in one accident. It's been a wonderful ride with this friend.

Lol I thought the crossed legs & feet were cute too.

I was really happy when I snapped that pic...

Lulu has a hemivertibrae. it is a risk of the breed. That pic was taken 2 days after getting her back from the vet. I had taken her to the vet because she was showing signs of rear leg paralysis. She couldn't walk right.. was in severe pain.. you could roll her rear feet & she wouldnt/couldn't correct them.. but most of she wasn't following me around bc it hurt too much.. oh & I was having to hand feed her people food by hand & she was refusing to eat most of the time.. took her to the vet afraid I was gonna have to put her down

Vets hospitalized her for 4 days keeping her immobile & heavy steroids & other drugs.

She got better! This little girl is my heart so to say I was relieved is a serious understatement!

Shes been doing awesome w the exception of her beach outing... she ran so hard & was so happy... she was bringing joy to everyone who saw her! But she overdid it. Thankfully with a little rest & some leftover prednisone she perked back up in just a day.. she doesn't understand she has this problem bc she feels great until it flares up.. but I have to force her to be calmer than she would like.

The truth is I never would have bought this breed. I knew the health risks. Plus @ 2k$ per pup its outa my league. However when I was training I had clients sign up w an adorable 10 wk old frenchie. 2 days later they not only wanted to cancel the training (we hadnt even had our first session yet) but they wanted me to help them find her a new home. So.. I took her.. & now I always want to own a frenchie.. such an awesome breed..

The dogs were thrilled today since the cats had a meeting with the v.e.t. today. Shhhh...don't say the word out loud. Everyone is healthy and happy, but Pippin (one of the cats) seems to have gained a few pounds. He's now my little football. They're so pooped from the ordeal.

For those of you who want a Corgi...ugggg. Pickles is awesome but beyond stupid. He's a rescue who ended up rescuing me. However, he seems to need more rescuing because he forgets how to dog. Here's the famous pose

Awe... all herding dogs have issues if they aren't herding. .. ive trained at least 20 corgis that were aggressive until they met me.. its nice to be a god amoung dogs.. if the apocalypse ever happens.. my advice is not to trespass on my land lol.. but no lol

Words of wisdom.. if you want the dogs to love cats get the cats early in their life.. if you want cats to love dogs get them before dogs.. its not quite a paradox!

If you dig deep enough, you'll find a few "pet" threads on ECF.

My pride and joy, Trixie

She likes the snow, too.

I used to have a Frenchie, my Marlon. He passed away 2 years ago. I was lucky that he was AMZINGLY healthy the 14 years I had him. Not a single health issue until he turned 13 and started having heart problems. He however, was not so well behaved. Sweet as heck, but very much had the "I do what I want" attitude.

The male frenchies ive met are like that imhe.. but the females. . Opposite.. I know me being absolute alpha helps.. but from the amount of dogs ive met/trained I know she is special!

Hello? Hello? I see you!!

Oh Trixie!!! I love her as a pup, but this one is fantastic.

Being in CA, my pups have never met snow.

Hey, yours keep you warm, make your heart bigger and are great company, right? That is the best kind of love.

The bold part describes my cat Penny. She is her own cat. We obey her.
