Diablo Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 In order 1 - Purdy a horrible little salt and pepper schnauzer inherited when my gran passed away. Only my mom could touch her! wow! our first dog and we couldn't even pet her! 2 - Panda our Border Collie who my other gran gave to us due to a pure lack of space 3 - Schnapps another Schnauzer but SUCH a fabulous dog! 4 - Nuff Nuff my Maltese who I found running in the road. When we knocked on the owners door the husband (who was rather drunk) shouted "Love!! Is this our dog?" Wife arrived also looking worse for wear, looked at her and said yes. As we walked away in shock he screamed at us "Do you want IT?" thus the reason the name...we did try and change it! 5 - Titus my Jack Russell 6 - Diesel my rescue who I took in off the street when the local SPCA refused to come catch her because she wasn't contained. She stayed until I found her a home on a farm. Only her mother and father know what she was made up of! 7 & 8 - Taylor and Trigger my 2 lovely Yorkies still in my life 9 - Diablo, the dog I have dreamed of all my life this is Titus and Taylor as a pup along with my Triggs!

NOBELHOWLUC49 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Ah The dogs (friends) that have been part of my life: A cockerspaniel not sure of name but apparentley if I was told of I would sulk in his basket.. Candy Who used to follow us to school and was the best dog ever. Mixed breed but def GSD and Lab in there somwhere.. 3 chihuahua Berti, Kipper, Patchy.. My Mums... never worked out why she had them..as she is a big dog and horse person.. Rookie (rotweiller/GSD) who was left with me for a day....Became apart of my family.. loved by my daughter.. I still miss her and her little stumpy tail.. This dog could escape from anything, dug up the garden, brought male dogs home and had puppies. All found good homes thankfully. Then my best friend Sydney GSD, Who I found to rescue after Rookie. He was 4 and the most faithful boy in the world. it took me 7 years before I could bear to have another dog.. And they are Noah and Bella.. Bundles of love and mischeif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornet Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Our first dog was a Irish setter (murthy) then a cocker spaniel (saffy) to keep him company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akane Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I grew up with some terrier mix and a rottweiler. At my grandma's house was an Australian Shepherd. Then we got a Bernese mountain dog I worked in obedience and agility for 4-h. Norwegian Elkhound just as I moved away from home. The first dog that was purely mine is my akita and my husband moved in with his shiba. Now we added a husky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MollyCharly Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Charly the French basset. Slow pace and extremely laid back dog. He is a good brother to Molly and amazingly I can walk them together (for now). Molly the husky pup always on short leash learnt when to sit and wait for the slow brother who always on a long flexi leash. I am thinking when Molly is old enough I'll start fast pace walking/running with her and then second round of short pace walk with Charly, for Molly to cool down... Charly is THAT slow lol..

Ghost11 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Rhodesian ridgeback named Nandi... The only dog that could keep up with my high-energy personality. My mom has 8 Italian greyhounds that I grew up with(all very lazy). Aside from dogs I've owned birds. I *love* birds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Suka is actually my first dog. But, I have owned other pets in the past. When I was 7 or so, we had 2 cats that we raised from kittens (brothers). I think they were just an orange and black tabbies - Pumpkin and Smokey. But we had to give them away for some reason...I don't remember why, but I remember visiting them at the new house. I also owned a bird (a budgie/parakeet) for 5 years - it passed away while I was on a vacation with my classmates from elementary school. A few years later, after Pepi (my parakeet) passed, we got Suka. I've bugged my parents for another dog, but they aren't budging on that issue. Maybe when I'm done university, I'll see if I can persuade them to let me have another pet (or another dog, if Suka is gone by then.), since I'll probably be moving back in with them once I graduate. I don't see myself getting a job quickly in this economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychgrl Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Looking back, I've realized that I haven't had a lot of dog breed variety! Growing up we had two mixed breeds, a Dalmatian, and a German Shepherd over the years. Then once I got older (college age) I got a Siberian Husky and then a few years later a German Shepherd. Then after those two I got two more GSDs which I currently have and now my newest Siberian. So, yeah...mostly GSDs and Siberian Huskies! I've also owned a large variety of other animals: hamsters, rats, rabbits, fish, a parakeet, corn snakes, tarantulas, a scorpion, a bearded dragon...I think that's it!

Reason I came to this forum. 19 weeks I have only had 2 pure breeds in my life, very fond of mixed. In case you're wondering, I did a quick Google Image search of a few 'suspected breeds' just a while ago and I think Skye reminds me of a Basenji. I don't think I see any Husky in him but guess what, Basenjis can have blue eyes too! It's just not very common. He might also be a Basenji mix though, who knows.

Dan Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Oh, where to start lol .. Loki is the first dog I've owned myself, but I've had so many other family animals I'll probably forget a few. Dogs, mostly all smaller breeds, first a miniature poodle, then we got him a friend from rescue (not entirely sure what breed, probably some Maltese in there somewhere), after that we had 2 black labs, both rescue also. Then some sort of terrier (Aussie maybe), and a short coat Chihuahua. Last and current dog my mum still has is meant to be pure Maltese, but it's definitely not. Think there's some mini poodle or something in there somewhere. Mum used to show silky terriers when she was younger, too Also had (and still have) birds, cockatiels, Indian ringneck, budgy, mice, rats, ducks, fish, a turtle, rabbits, even had a lobster at one point. My family were never really cat people (myself included), but since they divorced my stepdad decided to get one, so she lives at mums house. Probably explains why I'm animal obsessed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see many Basenji's in my neck of the woods but there is quite a resemblance there for sure! I can't wait to get his DNA results back, although I hear mixed reviews on those things. It will probably come back with something ridiculous like 50% poodle 50% chihuahua . (Going to do the Wisdom DNA soon, have it here...just haven't done it yet).

Can I ask how much did you pay for that test? Canine DNA tests are really a gamble. One lady whose blog I used to follow tested two of her dogs; one of whom she knows is a purebred and another a mystery mix. The test result for the purebred is correct, but I really really don't think the result for the mix is correct. The dog in question is obviously a Keeshond, if not a Keeshond mix. But test result says purebred Norwegian Elkhound?? But if the test is inaccurate how come the other dog's result came back OK? It's confusing really which is why I'm curious how expensive these tests really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Never heard of that before .. heard of it being done through a vet or something but I'd expect it to be well into the 3 figure range. For $45 it's worth a shot I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecky Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I edited, it was $65.00, still not so bad...Wisdom 2.0 is currently supposed to be the "best" meaning the most DNA breed samples...but there are still lots of complaints.

SkyRocket Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 When I was a kid we had a Dalmatian. I have a Border Collie X and we just adopted a Husky. In the future I'd love to have a Staffy, Pedigree Border Collie, Greyhound, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Pug, English Bulldog, maybe another Husky and some cute rescue dogs. This is not all at the same time by the way haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsydal Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Before my Sibe girls i had Gypsy - a dalmation (hence my username!!!) . She was very highly strung and very feisty, but she's was a gorgeous girl . When i was a kid we had a cat, and I also had a couple of cats for a while before getting Freya and Kyra. They were super cool (for cats) but one died of kidney failure, and the other got killed by a car outside out house. But I've always been a dog lover. They're more like little furry people than pets . They are my best friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
