The pound thought she was Shar Pei mix, hence her name. We later determined she was a castoff from a Thai Ridgeback Dog breeder. She lacked the scruff on her back. Yeah, the ears are characteristic of ancient breeds.
She was intense, constant, gentle, but fearless. Also, extremely fast in her prime. About 45 pounds full grown.
Oh hey, that worked! Thank you! Now, short of locking her out of the bedroom, how do I get the cat to stop clawing my hands to wake me up at 4:30am every day?
One of my dog's trainers is a Ridgeback breeder. She loves their fearless and independent natures.She told me about a Border Collie in one of her advanced training classes that drives her crazy with it's need for eye contact.(Not a word about how bright and quick to learn it is!)
If you stay after him for the first few days, you're golden.
DD's dogs lived here as pups, and are on an extended-stay while she's in the Far Elsewhere for several more months. The came back after years away, and went straight to the patch of lawn that I couldn't convince her to train them not to use. Ahh, well,another six months. . .
I've read that in Turkey, Golden Retriever pups are popular, but when they get to be adolescents/adults, they are often abandoned. Talk about a breed with zero wilderness-survival skills. Goldens are the suburbanites of the dog world. They must be so bewildered.

But I have so little cache to begin with! Fine, I'll switch to credit.

Lethal cuteness!
Well, there is the wild and crazy notion of stopping before you run off the cliff. Just a thought . . .
Also, are we going to have to wait until next Sunday for the red-living-room pictures?
Ten out of 18 flower baskets planted. It's going to be soooo pink and purple and blue around here!
