Dumbest thing I saw this weekend
[]
I spent most of the weekend at the Northern New England Sleddog Symposium. Lots of people brought dogs, mostly Siberian Huskies (woohoo!). I'd guess there were about 60-70 Siberians there. And someone brought a cat. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

A lot of mushers have toy dogs as house pets but this was just one of those "Huh?" things. There was a red, bi-eyed Siberian puppy that was about 4 months old and just adorable. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

Hah! There were a lot of adolescent Siberians there, too (there were bikejoring, scooter, and rig races Sunday morning, plus people brought younger dogs to get them used to traveling and to the mayhemious atmosphere at mushing events), and it's always a good nopuppiesinmyhouse reminder to spend time around a yearling Siberian. However, I was talking with the people who sold me Image and they described a possible upcoming breeding that definitely made me sit up and think "boing!" Pretty much everybody thinks this, too, but the more time I spend around other people's dogs the more I appreciate my own. BTW, a Chinook club had a booth at the trade fair and boy, those are nice, even-tempered dogs. I'm sure they left the alligators at home, but still, these were awfully mellow fellows. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

Kid: Can I pet him? Owner: Sure, she loves being petted Happy dog, happy kid, lots of tail wagging and giving kisses to the kid Lady: How old is your puppy? Owner: 5 months. Lady: What kind of a dog is that? Owner: Pitbull Lady: (Screaming at her kid) Get away from that dog! Yanks kid's arm, stalks off in a huff, muttering about how people shouldn't have dangerous dogs in the public, especially where there are kids. Suja |

With the pups, at least you don't have the attitude. Adolescent Siberian Huskies can be *awful*. I think you've seen that photo of my shredded bedroom, with Emmett still pulling on some bedding. And he's grown up to be a very composed, well-behaved dog. I can't imagine Eclipse at that age. Boing as in you may get a pup? Maybe, if the breeding happens and a bunch of other contingencies. I don't believe I've ever seen one. If you didn't know what you're looking at you'd probably think "Lab X." There's someone local who breeds them and when I saw her with a dog at obedience classes and asked her if her dog was a Chinook she was extremely surprised and said that everybody looks at the dogs and assumes they're mutts. http://www.chinook.org/ -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

Now that I've seen pictures of what appears to be Chinooks, I'm still pretty sure my first thought would be 'mutt'. So variable in type, anywhere between shepherdy looking to lab looking. Suja |
