Welcome, as you see by my signature I have a houseful. They are all "used" and recycled dogs. My 2 Chis are almost 10mos old Alice who just earned her first title and I adopted about 2.5 mos ago and Monte who is 4+/-, he is from a shelter and I adopted him about 3 weeks ago. He is going to basic obed, his first class was Wed, so I hope to get his CGC at the end of class. Monte was apparently a BYB stud dog that went unclaimed and was a couple of days from dead when we saw him on the way to look at another dog. He is just a sweet dog and extremely outgoing.

I picked her up at my vet's office when I took one of our other dogs in. Sophie is a rescue dog, being used to breed. She has live her almost 7 years in a cage popping out little puppies. No love at all. The vet tech said she has been Sophie for several months while she has looked for someone to take and love her. The tech has 8 dogs of her own and this little one needs alot of affection. We took her for a week and I fell in love with her immediately. She did/does have problems associating with other dogs. She will snarl and attack the dogs , especially when they are feeding. We have come up with ways to avoid most of the fighting, and she is 90% better than what she was when we adopted her. We have three other dogs, two are mixed border collies and then Lucy, who is a mix chihuahua/daschund and the best little thing. Most of time the two little ones get along, and i t is getting better all the time. Anyway, that is us, looking forward to what everyone has to say about their own little dogs...btw..we also have 8 cats..one big family...LOL
