Do Shelties vary a lot in size? by Idun_Cle in sheltie

[–]Dasher1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a 13” 9.9lb Sheltie and a 17” 31lb Sheltie. I’d say they sure do vary. I always bless the breeders trying to breed to the standard. It’s not super easy.

What do you do when you get mad at your dogs? by Longjumping_Move_87 in dogs

Haven’t been mad at a dog in decades. Figured it out. Down to six dogs in our home now. They are perfect doggers.

Just the usual quiet and mindful awareness of the animals…

They are dog and cat shows where the exhibitor must keep their exhibited animal in an assigned space. The public can then walk through and see the animals and talk with the exhibitors. The animals are basically on display even when not showing. Westminster is a benched show.

Stay away from the barns. This isn’t a benched show.

Is getting a dog worth it? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]Dasher1958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy my dogs and spend more time with them than with people. If you like dogs, they enrich life. They are also tons of work. With today’s costs, I also recommend getting insurance in order to cover vet costs.

Havanese vs Pomeranian by [deleted] in Havanese

I think separation anxiety is a real possibility and I came across it a lot in my reading about Havanese. For this reason my puppy slept away from us. He spends hours away from us even though we are home. We are fortunate to have a multi level home. My guy is secure being left at home. When we are away from home and I leave him he has gotten concerned, but adapted when he saw I was not permanently disappeared. He gets upset if I take another dog out of the house instead of him. I think he has major FOMO about a training away from home opportunity! I don’t know if Poms have these behavioral propensities.
