MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Is that dog cleaning up a mtb's shit in the woods?
Lovely pictures! I'll guess... Loch Earn?
That top one's a winner
Not Loch Earn, but it is Scotland
That Lurcher in the top picture is a real heart melter - I'd guess it's gotten them a lot of sly treats over the years 🙂
Yes, 11 years of heart melting 🙂 still at a good weight so he runs the treats off!
Quick question:
Hypothesising that a mini-Flying Ox might make an appearance sometime soon, should we be looking at getting a dog before or after said crotchfruit arrives? In terms of the behaviour of the dog, anyway. Or doesn't it matter?
And how does the STW dog-owning collective feel about the Viszla as a trail hound/family mutt?

puppy's first night in his new home
Would guess 'after' for the behaviour of the dog... it will come in at the lower end of the ladder. If you have the dog first then you need to put some work in to make sure the dog realises that has to drop below below mini ox in the pecking order. Can be difficult with some.
Also on the time front... you have to give time to mini, so wait and see if you have enough left over for a hound, especially in the first few months.

Cheers, flowerpower. Thought as much. Mrs Flying Ox is getting all ahead of herself about going from backpacking to having 2.4 kids & a dog overnight.
Lovely pics ... looks like Loch Morlich.
ART wins - it is indeed Loch Morlich.
highclimber seems to have been sold a badger 🙂
Yay me! 😀 Now stop torturing me with pics of cute pooches!
flower power, what breed is that pup ?

anyone know where this 2nd one was taken
highclimber seems to have been sold a badger
he's much cuter than a badger but his teeth are as sharp!
@ sofaking
A kelpie, same as your fella 🙂 (nice photos by the way)
We lost our 16yr old black / tan kelpie cross just before Christmas and were chuffed to find a farm litter (5 months old) not far away. Needless to say we were straight over and the christmas puppy was collected...
Lovely dogs (but I'm a wee bit biased 😀 )
sad to hear of your lose flowerpower, but 16 is a good innings.
kelpies are real nice dogs , ours is soft as grease.
hope you new one turns out to be a good one
Nice to see lots of dogs in good condition enjoying life to the max!
My two are currently staging an Occupy protest on my side of the bed - not sure what they're protesting about, but they're dug in and not for moving!
We've decided that Benny needs to up his game after seeing this:

Stratobiker. I thought you'd appreciate that one!

Don Simon, If the owner takes after the dog. I do not want to meet you down a dark alley!
Those Kelpies are lovely looking dogs! I've been considering adding a Blue Merle Collie to our pack, but you've got me thinking about branching out 🙂
Blue Merles are lovely looking dogs as well though - wonder if the missus would let me have 4 dogs in the house?

Mrs Busydog continually tries to convince me we need at least one more---this coming from the person who doesn't walk the 2 we have at 6AM, groom them, feed them, etc. If we lived in the country, I would have more, but too confining in the city.
Id love a blue merle but Mrs HC wants a Lab next though i've heard they're big chewers!
Lab next though i've heard they're big chewers
If our labradoodles are any indicator from their lab half, I'd agree.
We haven't had much trouble with them in the house as we have enough chew toys to start a pet store (which I always manage to step on barefooted in the dark)---but outside, they find every leaf, stick, twig, piece of paper, no matter how small and are chewing it.
Mine weren't/aren't. This was a hint that it was time for a walk a couple of hours ago
Great picture--Labs are so very smart and so personable. My labradoodles seem to have an internal clock---at 5PM every weekday they both come into my office barking for the evening walk and every Sunday morning, as soon as we eat, they are both out at the truck, barking for ride up for the Sunday hike in the mountains.
Can't resist a dog thread.
Pups enjoying a game on the beach.
