We did that cat thing. Cats are for people who don't like to get out with their pets.

Who has mutts? Yeah yeah yeah, *holding nose and whining* "I don't have a mutt. Fifi is a highly pedigreed shitzu who comes from award winning stock." Whatever, it's got four legs, and yaps/barks/drools, it's a mutt.

Name?
Breed, if any?
Age?
Talents?
What's it look like?
Give is one "adorable mutt" anecdote in a paragraph or less.
Optional, attach ONE picture. Not a series, just ONE picture of your mutt will be plenty for us to oooh and ahh over.
 
Name - Sabre
Breed - german shephard
Age - 3
Talents - being VERY VERY dumb
Looks - cute in a stupid kind of way big hairy black has a long tongue that hangs out of the side of his mouth :)


you'll have to wait on a photo but i think you would all go aww :)


i have so many storys about him hes very fun animal but also the most stupid animal ive ever known but in a cute way ... i posted a thread about him stealing raw potatoes a few weeks ago hes cured of that now :) ... hes very very cuddly he crys for cuddles and rests his head against my leg or chest

the other day i was watering the garden with hose and he was chasing the water stream all over the garden when he finally did catch it ... it hit him right in the side of the face and he started rubbing his face against a bush to dry his ears he ended up climbing right into the middle of the bush and just rolling in it :)
 
how about my tiger?

he's just 4 months old, and such a luvable pup!

Giant Boxer, pure bred.

Talent? yeah right his only talent at his young age is getting into mischief, and quite good at that.

No stories just yet as he's too young yet for anything good.
 
This is my baby Riley, 3/4 sheltie and 1/4 poodle. He's 4 years old. I left him with my mom when I moved away, and I miss him so much! If I sit on the floor and call his name, he comes running into my arms for a hug. He's such a sweetheart.
 
Name- Kirby
Breed- Parson Jack Russell terrier
Age- 3 years
Talents- Getting into trouble
What's it look like- Just exactly like a Parson Jack Russell terrier
"adorable" mutt anecdote- no can do, he ain't adorable and he isn't a mutt. I didn't buy him, he was a "gift". Yeah, right, thanks for nothing. They were annoyed at me because I didn't immediately name him. I told them that you had to observe an animal for awhile before naming them so as to ensure you give them the right name for their character. He was so small that he couldn't get up over the curbs and would sit there and whine til somebody took pity on him and lifted him up. Hence his name Kirby (curby)
Turns out is was a more prophetic name than I first realized because he has an irritating habit of lurking beneath the dinner table and if anything is dropped, he sucks it up just like a "Kirby" vacuum cleaner.

I know what a Jack Russell terrier looks like, but I've never heard of a Parson Jack. What's the difference?

Jacks are very intelligent, very nutty dogs. My grandparents have one, and I'm pretty sure he suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder. He's an odd little creature. Cute, though.
 
The difference is about two hundred bucks

When the breed was originally developed in England By the Reverend John Russell, he had strict criteria as to how they should look. Colouring, height, physique etc. But in the years following his death, his requirements weren't so strictly adhered to with the result that the breed became looser and looser as to looks. A Club was formed to return the breed to the original standards set by the Reverend and they were given a sub-breed designation by the International Kennel Clubs to distinguish the "Parson Jack Russell" from the ordinary "Jack Russell". They even have their own ribbons awarded at the dog shows.

As for them being very intelligent, I suppose they are, but they are also very stubborn and willful. A major problem with the breed is that they don't live long usuallly because when something catches their eye they immediately give chase and more often than not get hit by a car. You have to keep them on a short leash.

My fellow doglovers, I am here to pay tribute to a canine of unusual aspirations and reputations - my dog Checkers who shall remain blameless for all the money in the phone booth and Steinbrenner's contribution and all the lies your mommas told you. Now Checkers was a DOG. Did you hear about the time he ate the vicuna coat? Thought it was Pat's pet seal. Oh well.

God I love My mutts. Have I forgotten any?
 
Name - CB (He got that name 'cause we couldn't think of a name and I thought he was ugly. So CB is short for "He Can't Be a dog, he's too damned ugly")
Breed - Blue Healer or to be formal, Australian Cattle dog
Age - He was 12, I say was cause he up and died on me a couple of months ago.
Talents - He could shut the door. Right after I taught him how to do it, he ran in and slammed the door in my wife's face, leaving her standing with an arm full of shopping bags as he sat on the inside and expected a treat for his wondrous performance. Got my ass chewed for that. He was also an all around PITA (pain in the ass)
What's it look like - Every other ugly ass Blue healer.

Comshaw
 
Kitten EyeThis is not twisted...

Think of all the people who name their Rabbit s BUNNY, or of all the people that name their dogs Rover.

Good names. Anyway, I like them.

I have 5 pure white brothers that I can't keep tell apart. For close to a year they were all named Stupid. Now they have their names on their house. (One is still Stupid)

Favorite? I try not to, but, yeah. ThunderCat is the wisest other I have ever had the pleasure of having graced my life.

My newest favorite quote....from Adrienne Gusoff...
