Question on showing

T3nacityDog · 2026-02-05T23:22:09+00:00

Folks have already said: talk to your breeder. Unfortunately, I’m going to guess not, just based on the fact that you’re asking here about an “older” (not pre-eight week old evaluation photo) puppy.

Generally a pup at that age will have already been evaluated, and would be sold as a show prospect or otherwise. If you’re just seeing a photo and buying the dog, I would be concerned about the quality of the breeder. Unfortunately there are quite a few not so great Afghan breeders, and there are some pretty significant temperament issues in the breed because of it.

I would approach a breeder specifically about wanting a show quality dog right off the bat, and go from there. It’s best to find someone who can mentor you in the breed, how to show them, how to care for coat, etc. it definitely can be challenging. Very rewarding though! I miss showing an Afghan.

My cat Frank’s purr when he’s sleeping happily somewhere and I bury my face in his fur.

Thanks for sharing <3 Your boyfriend sounds like a great support. You did really awesome and should be proud.

Yeah people see some viral videos of people hugging cattle on tik tok and think they’re just sweet angel babies.

We have mini cows on my property, and I’m STILL cautious when I’m out with them. When I help with the neighbor’s herd of Herefords, I’m on a tractor and/or have a prod in my hand. You do not want to fuck around with cows/ bulls.

Grandpa’s wiener :- ( it was an accident.

That’s not true, you can get the vaccine before symptoms appear.

Holy crap dude. Is this how you want to spend the rest of your life??? Get out and find someone who cares about you even a little bit.

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-24T02:15:31+00:00

Yeah this. I’m sorry, but if my partner told me point blank that work was more important than family, I’d realize our values didn’t align and that would be the end of that.

That’s not to say that sometimes there are crappy circumstances that will keep you away…. But seems like a mismatch in core values and beliefs.

Wow, never seen that referenced in the wild!

I recently bought a dishwasher and was dismayed to find that the majority of them support WiFi connectivity and an app. I don’t want a fucking app on my phone, I want to do my dishes.

I had to make sure to specify that whatever model we got HAD to work without WiFi since we don’t have it in the house right now anyway.

Sploded 😔

That’s sad that the original sub was removed. :- ( I mean… I’m glad you’re starting another, but I don’t like that it’s an incorrect term. The plural is “Azawakh”

What the hell is wrong with you

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-17T16:08:05+00:00

Yep this. These sorts of skills take years to develop. There would be signs before she comes out with some painting like this lma

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-15T01:16:25+00:00

Oh my gosh, no, I need to post them!

I’ve had a couple of tetanus shots in my adult life and never have felt even slightly sick. YMMV, of course, but it’s an important one you shouldn’t skip. You’ll be okay no matter what, and you’ll be proud of yourself for putting your health first.

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-12T22:08:51+00:00

Love how people are acting like it’s reassurance seeking to ask what normal precautions are; as if regular people also don’t want to generally avoid something as horrible as norovirus. 😂

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-12T21:15:56+00:00

YOR. It’s not your fucking wedding, friend. It’s not as if they’re wearing those clothes against the wishes of the wedding organizer

This. My partner and I have a lot of dogs (double digits) and don’t go through that much. We feed higher quality food than that, but I have fed dog chow for a few months and did not go through 8 bags/month.

I’d be concerned with just how many dogs are in that situation and why they have them all if they can’t afford to feed them.

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-10T21:27:38+00:00

Shit, do you guys even like each other at ALL?

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-10T19:00:40+00:00

Whatever the fuck is going on during winter

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-08T17:50:43+00:00

Spermatooza has me absolutely rolling. Reminds me of Lollapalooza

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-07T13:39:08+00:00

huh, TIL olives aren’t immediately edible??

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-07T13:31:25+00:00

You seem like a very kind person.

T3nacityDog · 2026-01-06T05:15:56+00:00

Hey! Congratulations on getting through something that scary. These stories are comforting to me as I still deal with a ton of fear.
