whippets Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Whippets sleep in the "cockroach" position. ....well most sighthounds do I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 One thing everyone THINKS they know about Saint Bernards is that they wore barrels round their necks filled with rum/brandy/whatever when they were out on their rescue missions in the Swiss Alps. Truth is, they never carried them. They were depicted as wearing the barrels in an early painting and that is where people got the idea from.

cannibalgoldfish Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Despite what the books say, Shibas DO bark! Sometimes a great deal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serket Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 That they're actually really good watchdogs (or mine might be broken). She's got one hell of an alert bark for anything she thinks isn't right, and she won't stop barking until I come and check it out. No barking at other times though (thank gods). Oh, and she doesn't love everyone, despite the usually-deserved breed reputation, just most people (unless you're suspicious and dodgy looking in her eyes, and then she'll steer clear, and won't let me approach either).

Cleo's Corgwyn Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 That they are not a Pembroke corgi cross, just a different breed of corgi! And that yes, they are supposed to be that fast and nimble, and both breeds of corgi were bred to be cattle herders. They are particulaly sucessful in confined spaces, where their shortness easily allows them to avoid kicking cattle. People are just used to seeing fat pembrokes, so seeing my extremely fast and healthy girl throws them anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all that glitters Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 That some of them DO have an ON/OFF switch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowenhart Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Lowchen burp, a lot. If you ask them a question, 8/10 times the answer is a burp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazzat Xolo Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 They have coated ones and come in three sizes! I know this Wazzat!(but only because you mentioned it once before ) OK CG you got me! But you have been on the Xolo thread since inception! lol How about Most purebred dogs have been designed for a specific purpose the Xolo was not. It is unique in the fact that it is a product of natural selection, created and molded by environmental adaptation, rather than selective breeding. The Xolo’s traits of type are traits of self-preservation. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Bronson Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Many people don't know that a GSD can be pure black and ask what breed is the black one, or the black one looks like he has GSD mixed in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaar Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 That they are more like a monkey/cat hybrid than a dog. They are fantastic climbers. And for the 100+ people that have asked me this question when I walk through town... yes they do need to be shaved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
