@Chap:

I always wanted an Akita Inu, in my eyes the most beautiful dog on earth.

Eyes are too close together, makes them look off IMO….

they just look ahead

@Graeme:

@DougNg the Dogo Argentino is banned in Australia, and pretty much everywhere else.

I haven't met one, but mastiffs in general seem pretty chill. There was a Dogue de Bordeaux being assessed at a rescue centre a while back that I really liked. Actually, they're also considered dangerous dogs in some jurisdictions, though the one I met was more interested in pat's than biting me.

… and there are no Puma in Australia... (living in Australia, I would prefer a Mongoose)

This is Yakini she is a 9,5m old Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is supersweet, loves to play with any dog and friendly to humans. Funny thing is that she already is becoming protective.

@Mr:

Our two gits are happy as now their humans around them all day long…

Oh my, ditto @chaps statement, very cute indeed. Great photos and lighting too. Out of interest, what's your camera lens set up! I can only assume these are beyond integrated phone tech.?

@GC thanks!…just an iphone7 plus and a bit of portrait mode.

Good to know, I’m torn between the two, weighing up the merits of each weight. Thanks for sharing @Chap

With the family home, we thought it would be a good time to add a new family member. We rescued the little guy in August and wanted to get him a friend. This guy needed a new home and the timing was right.  Got him this morning. Hoss is a 5 year old English Mastiff. The kids are in love.

IHSH-33 Black in the pic. This shirt just gets better and better

[bob_z]

That is so nice, such a beautiful thing to do!

[Graeme]

@Sage954 that's a nice looking horse dog. I do like mastiffs, and got very tempted by a Dogue de Bordeaux that I met when it was being assessed as being suitable for adoption last year.

I got my brother into trouble earlier today!

He's in the process of moving to Scotland to start a business, so things are likely to be tight for him for a while.

Anyway, I emailed my father saying that a friend (Rupert) is getting a Briard puppy. They're a big, hairy, French herding breed, which look like this.

My brother is called Robert, so my father had misread the email, and then had a bit of a go at him for getting another mouth to feed!

[Sage954]

@Graeme That’s funny. Good looking dog. More like 3 or 4 mouths to feed given his size. He’s going to need a vacuum for every room in the house.

[Graeme]

@Sage954 my friend's wife said that he's going to be "brushing for England" to keep the dog tidy too!

Apparently she wasn't keen on a Briard, but it's his favourite breed, so she relented as it was the only way to get a family dog.

[bob_z]

No money can buy when your dog chooses you above his many beds or cushions to find rest [emoji3590]

Nala playing hide and seek.

Now cat napping.  Tomorrows job, clean the windows..

We lost our pup Mabel in February to old age.  So enter Sadie, Australian Shepherd and full on puppy madness, mayhem, and mirth.  There are occasional moments of peace but basically its bedlam and we're digging it.
