Molly's feelings are hurt.

Awww. Give Molly some gentle ear scratches and a belly rub from me! She is a cute girl too!

It wasn't my intention to slight anyone. I think ALL of the dogs are neat! As I've said before, I love this thread!

Re: Meet Shooter

Nice looking dog Bill. That's one I haven't seen.

I know the jury is still out for some on the current cross-breeding trend. But, it's really the same thing that was done years ago to create some of the more popular standard breeds of today.

Plus, what do breeders do to eliminate genetic issues that accumulate in "pure" breeds? They out-cross to a breed or primitive type that doesn't have that issue. Sadly, most pure breeds do have genetic issues resulting from years of breeding to a confirmation standard.

Thanks. I think that she's a good looking dog also - and extremely smart. But how many dog owners do you know that don't think that their dog is good looking dog - not very many I would think. The first time we took her to the vet he thought she was a Portuguese Water Dog. Some owners of this breed have also thought the same. The vet also likes the fact that she's a mix for the reasons you already mentioned.

Shooter is a Sheep-a-Doodle which is half Standard Poodle (mother) and half Old English Sheep Dog (father).

At least you don't call her a Sheep-Poo. Nice looking

Well, they shouldn't be. Molly is good looking with excellent spots and is very alert.
Does she have Maine lineage?

Thanks six, I was only kidding FG

She is great and an alert girl and her parents are both from NH. Before that I'm not sure.

This is Sira at 21 months taken two weeks ago at an open breed match in Saco, Maine. She won best in show! Sharon is holding her collar and the judge is next to her.

She has done pretty well at regional AKC Leonberger shows and is a good example of what a Leonberger female should look like, has excellent body structure and a nice gait. Other than that, she is a good egg to have around the house, and is a tireless hunter of lawnmower cuds and turkey droppings. :laughing:

It's Sharon's hobby, I take no credit and I'm glad she is having fun with it.

Dave1949--I know of those shows from that area and that must be one excellent and near perfect dog to get a best of show there. Congratulations to your wife because it's deserved. Surely you can take some credit? Maybe you fed her once or took her for a ride? That could qualify?
