By deliberately disobeying you are being influenced just as much as if you'd done as you were told. The essence of true personal freedom is to do exactly what you were going to do anyway without caring what the other person thinks of your choice.

I was going to say Labrador, much the same thing in terms of temperament.

Wifey wanted to go look at this fellow, but I think he's already taken.

I've had mostly good experiences with rescue dogs. A failed trainee police GSD among them.

Charlie is a bisexual name so to speak. Could be short for Charlize or Charlotte.

My Alfie had a run in with a pit shortly after I got him, it came hurtling 300 yards across a park all ready to tear the fat Labradors throat out, Alfie just stood his ground and as soon as the other dog was in range he just shoulder barged him to the ground and sat on him. Funniest thing I ever...

I would never have a pure bred shepherd, after the two rescue ones. Superb dogs, but the second one especially just fell apart at the back end. I think the sloping back end was a terrible mistake for the breed. The only problem with a cross is that the temperament isn't a foregone conclusion...

Huskies and Malamutes are bred for one thing only, to pull sleds. Great at their job, useless at anything else.

We've had lots of rescue dogs, and only two from a pup. My last dog, the black lab, was a rescue. Pretty well trained but hopelessly fat and unfit. A few weeks of daily walks and cutting the chocolate out of his diet sorted that out. Also had a police Alsatian who failed his basic training...

Thanks, my Swedish is a little patchy, in fact I only know a selection of zoo animals. My wife's Malamute is super smart, she can do everything she's trained to do, but only when it suits her. Very short attention span.

Thanks.

Stig, any recommended reading on dog training? I am going to get a Alsatian cross at some point and I'd like to do some homework first.

Fine looking hound.

Do the dogs have their own bikes or do they ride pillion? :lol:

Isn't that Cockney rhyming slang?

That's interesting, I'd like to have a German shepherd again, but iv never liked the sloping backs.

Do you think that will be enough of a hybrid to avoid hip problems?

Fantastic looking dog, is he a pure breed?

Does Danish toast not have bones? My dog waits patiently for my toast bones every morning.

Would you not have a pure shepherd?
