Man, is that a misleading title from Triad. I was all
Excited about another Hot Dog day and deciding between Sabrett’s, Hummells, Boars Head, Nathan’s or some other regional maker (Fenway Franks, Dodger Dogs) but NOOOO, this thread was of the living 4 legged type....
BTW I like mustard, relish and with either raw onions or sauerkraut!

No dog here, but when in the mood for one or two, my favorite "breed" are the Hummels (natural casing) with a nice "coat" of yellow mustard and sauerkraut. A visit to Dino's (North Haven, CT) on a Tuesday, for their Dog Day (buy one dog get one free), these are the large dogs.

Here’s Hagrid again ( see page 1). Another year older, a bit more inquisitive, a lot more expensive as we are 9 weeks in to rehabbing the dreaded ACL tear. Apparently bigger breeds are more prone. ( This is well before the ACL tear).

I’m sure all of you take good care of your pets and know how expensive vet care can be. After some big expenses I started getting pet insurance and have found it to be a good investment. Most policies have exclusions for preexisting conditions so it’s a good idea to consider getting a policy when they’re young and healthy. I’ve been using Pets Best and have found them to be easy to work with.

You’re dead to me! To restate one of Dirty Harry Callahan lines from Sudden Impact- "Nah, that doesn't bother me, but you know what does bother me? What? You know what makes me sick to my stomach? What? It's watching you stuff your face with those hot dogs. Nobody, I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hot dog!
I need to get that line engraved and hung up by my barbeque pit!

I have owned “ mutts”, 6 Great Danes ( 4 harlequins, a Merle and a brindle). Then 2 St Bernard’s a shelter German Shepherd mix breed and now I am owned by a female American Staffordshire Terriare ( Pit Bull). One of the most caring, lovable dog who adores people but hates other animals.
2 of the Harlies have championships. They are such clowns.

Cute beagle. I gotta say you are covering all your bases with your profile pic. Davidson didn't last long, on to Charlotte. Is there any team from North Carolina you don't root for (other than those ruffians from Chapel Hill of course)?

I root for them all to do well.... especially in the conference tournaments. Of course I root for Duke the hardest.... followed by the schools in my city/county... HPU, UNCG and NCA&T. Keeping with the dog theme... A&T's mascot is a bulldog.... perhaps I'll email their AD about getting a live bulldog to roam the sidelines during the game..... what can go wrong with a live bulldog

Bernese Mountain Dog & American Standard Poodle?

Yes

How much does he weight?

He’s still just a puppy, 7 months old, but around 55-60 lbs.

 

[nwhoopfan]

what can go wrong with a live bulldog

Less than can go wrong with a live Ralphie (bison) or Bevo (longhorn).

Has every breed known to man been cross bred with poodles to create a new breed? I remember when labradoodles were popular. Now there seem to be a limitless variety of doodles.

I used to show and breed Coton de Tulear. Now I operate a small groom shop, so the breeds I adore are the ones who visit regularly and are well behaved.

Some people want to avoid shedding by breeding to a poodle--which produces a puppy with hair, not fur-- so I imagine that's part of the appeal. My eight Golden Retrievers shed all over the house but I consider that as small price to pay for the love and devotion they offer me.

Our dog Aspen, he is fast approaching 13

My photo is of my former lab, who passed last year at 14, and my current dog - a now 5 year old labradoodle. My next dog will be a rescue dog, but I love my fur babies.

True dog lovers know all our babies want to do is love us, and be part of our pack. Kudos to everyone who enjoys that kind of relationship!

Lost our dog last year. Still tough....
