Re: More Cat Pics
The dogs in the picture are German Shepherds (at least that is what we call them in the USA. Also known as Alsatians. We use the terms interchangeably in NZ. That is a big cat. I've never seen anything like it. And I liked Ayash's comment about one of the dogs being a philosopher. You know, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. Jody. Hi! That is a really big cat, oh! How much it could weigh, any idea?? I liked self_con.jpg. Some Alsesians are watching the cat passing by whereas a few of them have their attention diverted towards the lens but the third one from right seems to be a philospher. Neither the cat nor the photographer can divert his attention. A great picture. Cheers, Ayash Kanto. __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Re: More Cat Pics
Hi! Thanks for letting me know the correct spelling and the history behind their origin. With regards, Ayash Kanto. On Sun, 27 May 2001, William Robb wrote: Corect spelling is Alsatian, and is is the correct term for the common German Shepherd. The root word is Alsace, which was part of the old German empire, unless the French were holding it that week. It was a much disputed piece of land, and more than likely WW1 would have started over that area if the assasination of Duke Ferdinand hadn't happened. (I think thats so anyway).

Re: More Cat Pics
Hi Frank! Now we have a very precise explaination for Alsatians. Last time I committed a mistake with the spelling. So let me precise with spelling. Thanks for sharing. With regards, Ayash Kanto. On Sun, 27 May 2001, Frank Theriault wrote: Hi, Ayesh, I don't know much about dogs, myself, being a cat person and all, but I have seen German Shepherds referred to as Alsatians, which sounds a heck of a lot like Alshesians. Alsatiion simply means that they were originally from Alsace, as in Alsace-Lorraine, the area that more or less straddles the Franco-German border, and changes hands every time those two fight a war. So, my guess would be that your Alshesians and German Shepherds are the same dog. regards, frank - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: More Cat Pics
From some of our experience.if that cat has as much attitude as it is displaying, the first dog to break ranks it would probably whoop it's butt and teach it a lesson. Especially if it is armed with claws. At that point in time, the other dogs would either "sit up and take notice" or the cat would be long gone. Remember, it's the Egyptians' fault...at one time they treated cats like Gods and to this day, they don't let us forget it. Paul Gutkowski
