My nature is to over-research stuff before I spend signfiicant scratch on it (I wonder if that's why baseball appeals to me...).

So it's not exactly that I'm into 'pedigree research', but I spent about 4-5 months following labrador lines, etc... to find the lines and attributes that I wanted in the pup. Most of it was working with breeders and finding out what they looked for in their stock, what they got from each line, etc... and just compiling my info.

Like I said - I wouldn't trade my 2 chocolates for anything, but I flat got lucky with them. I wasn't willing to go back to the well a 3rd time. Sooner or later I was going to end up with a lemon. So I bucked up the coin to get a more sure thing.

i have a sickness for pedigree research. smoke me the bitch and dogs peds if you dont mind. if you do mind that doesnt hurt my feelings either.

With the dogs i like alot of guys guard what they have and how its bred and you may never be sure in the end. Hard to make shit click unless you have 100% faith in the breeder.

A few years ago my roomies and I were having a few drinks joking about how we should get our dog recruited to play football.

Apparently I never posted a picture of my new cat, Sonny. We've had him for about six months now.

I'm not much of a cat person Frazod, but he looks like a the friendly and playful sort.

Most cats seem snobbish. I get a good vibe from that one though.
