Pets!

[cebethel]

Ok, so I think this thread is LONG overdue! Plus I think I annoy everyone with my constant hijacking of threads (annoyance, understood! lol)

So I figured I'd start a thread where we can post pics of our fur babies, or shell babies, or scale babies........whatever your much loved pet is!

I don't think I can post ALL of my critters, but I'll post a few

2 of my tortoises

I have been reading a lot of good things about French Bulldogs lately and I am kinda getting the idea in my head that I need one, lol.

Ok here are my mum's dogs or as she calls them my furry siblings - Lady & BenBen

I love these 2 to bits but goodness BenBen has severe seperation issues when my mum is away. Plus my mum has told me that I get these 2 if anything happens to her

 

[dachsundmom]

Wooly, what breed are they? I was thinking some type of poodle or terrier mix?

 

[Macwooly]

These are my cats:
Jolson is first - he's 15 years old and The Boss!

Then came Percy who is 2 years old and so nervous as he was badly abused before he came to us. We can tickle his ears but not pick him up

Then there is Minstrel who is also 2 and she ADORES Baldrick & Teddy and regularly sleeps on their noses or throats

And yes Jolson & Percy look very similar

 

[Macwooly]

Wooly, what breed are they? I was thinking some type of poodle or terrier mix?

Lady who stands higher in the picture is a pure Bedlington Terrier

BenBen who has the sticky out ears is a Bedlington Terrier X Whippet

My mum's mum was born in the town of Bedlington in Northumbria and their family has always had the breed.

 

[dachsundmom]

We don't see that breed too often in the States. Do they require a lot of grooming?

 

[Macwooly]

Ok now my dogs

First came Tiny who is a pure Rottweiler are far as we know. She was born in rescue in October 2008 and came home with us on 2 Jan 2009 The first picture is her on the day she came home and the second picture of her is about 1 month ago and she now weighs 50kg (110lb) She is on steroids for arthritis in both elbows and knees and was first diagnosed with arthritis at 8 months old But she manages all the walks the boys do Tiny will be 4 in October

Next came Baldrick who was found stray at 4-5 months old and we adopted him about a month later. He definitely lives up to his name For the ladies not from the UK this may help explain about the name Baldrick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldrick Baldrick is a Bedlington Terrier X Greyhound with some Border Collie in there somewhere and he will be 3 in October

Next came Paddy He was in a home which abused him and came to us on Christmas Eve 2009. He was only supposed to be on foster but DH had always wanted a German Shepherd so 4 weeks later we adopted him fully He is a German Shepherd X Northern Inuit and he was 2 in March

Teddy was the finally dog to join us He is a German Shepherd/Great Dane/Greyhound mix although we swear blind he is kangaroo X giraffe He was found stray at 4 months old and the rescue thought he had ricketts so he came to us on foster as my veterinary nursing experience was required. He went onto a good diet of raw meat; dog biscuits; vegetables; pasta and raw bones. He saw the vet a week later who confirmed there was no ricketts present so we adopted him He was 1 year old in March

Their coats are like poodles so they don't moult My mum gets hers clipped about every 4-6 weeks in summer and every 8 weeks in winter. They do have a proper fancy cut but you can clip them yourself if you're happy to learn the clip or just strip them back

They are quite a popular breed for showing in the US but they are quite white in the US but their colours technically are blue; liver; sandy; blue & tan; live & tan or sandy & tan but all they means is they are predominately white wool with course hairs in their colour so grey in the blues; liver in the livers and ginger in the sandys

In the UK they are closer to their true colours but the european continent is breeding them pure white which is allowing a genetic weakness/disease to become a real issue But their parents can be tested for the disease and shouldn't be breed from if carrying the issue.

We see a lot of the breeding for color in doxies too. Both mine and Eva's are not supposed to be bown/tan in color and IDK why anyone would want to mess with it.
