OK, with mmcall12, Morandir chatting away about them, and seeing K9luvr's nick..... I'm starting this thread:
Thank you all dog lovers! Especially those who rescue. I volunteer with a couple of rescues here in the Dallas area, and help fundraise for even more (one around here is called "Real Men Neuter").
My core pack consists of 3 dogs, but was 4 (actually closer to 6) until we lost our Jack Russell T. a few months ago. I have two foster dogs at the moment. One is a "Sharpei/Whippet/Rhodesian" mix, and I think Pitbull too, but we don't say that because potential adopters often cannot get apartment leases with that breed. We are getting dna testing done her just because we want to know. And tests on one of our core-pack members who looks like a miniature cattledog (rat-terrier/cattle-dog aka "rattle dog"). We were at the No More Homeless Pets conference in Vegas and one thing I learned in one of the seminars was that at least 80% of animals breed are mis-identified by shelter staff.... very little of their dna has any bearing on external appearance. It might have pitbull dna for appearance, with labrador DNA for temperment, and wolfhound DNA for digestion, etc etc.
Anyway, tell us about your dogs!
