Ok. Well. The places you mentioned don't keep quite enough squeaky toys, doggie breath mints, kong toys, collars, brushes, and doggie bumble bee costumes etc. to satisfy the Mrs. need for variety. But thanks for the tip anyway! :-) [Reply]

Bit me once already when we we were all watching a live soccer match and suddenly jumped in jubilation after a goal. Twelve guys all wearing shorts (summer) jump up and screamed and the excited bitch bites ME out of the 12 in the thigh! Par for my luck. :-)
Lab/Poodle?! I can't get the visualization of the two dogs above mating. It's sick! The only redeemable value in that visual is she would get totally pancaked.:-)

Not into labridoodles? Don’t blame you.
We took care of a lab/basset mix a couple of years ago. Funny dog, body and face of a lab with short little legs and a braying bark.
I liked him, was fine with keeping him but he was too noisy for Mrs. Radar. We ended up giving him to a former in-law that has a cattle farm. Not griping though, that made room for our Catahoula. [Reply]
All our daughter could talk about was wanting a Shiba Inu when we were puppy shopping.
We read a couple websites that said to avoid having one with kids????
I'm glad we ended up with an "everybody has one" Golden Retriever. She's kinda rough with him & I fear any other dog would have bit her by now. [Reply]

Awesome looking jungle cat man! Mine loves water too. She will get in the shower with me in the morning and then sit and meow at me until I dry her off. She'll walk up to her water dish and stick both front paws in it while getting a drink. :-)
Here's a video of her from about 4 months ago. I need to take some new video/pictures, because her pelt looks even cooler now.

Our kids are 19 and 16, so it was not an issue with them, but I have nieces and nephews that are very young. Mostly it seems she is skittish around them and I could see it being a problem with little kids. She plays hard and nips a lot, so if you have little kids I could see it being a problem. She's not mean at all, she's just wild. [Reply]
