Looking to buy a golden retriever puppy this summer.

Your slippers are f'in sexy. JEALOUS.

Be careful, that last photo may have 4chan coming after you.

Good looking dog.

When he gets to the right age, start taking him to puppy socializing and early obedience. We went to Sit Happens with our yorkie-cross and we are very happy. I can't stress the socializing enough. YOU NEED TO DO IT.

edit: the right age is 10 weeks and as long as the dog has been with you for 10 days I think it is cool you go. First time is free at Sit Happens and I think it's Thursday evenings at 6:30. Call them and check it out!

This is the first dog from flamesgirl's post.

Very tempting, as I'm going to need to find a second dog for Mongo, once The Dude passes on. He kind of looks like Mongo's little brother.

I noticed on the flickr page that you said he's half English Mastiff and half lab... I can't even notice the mastiff at all. Certainly not say I don't believe it just can't see it. Although, I am comparing it to my sisters 216lb English Mastiff.

Regardless, pretty damn cute.

[Ramsayfarian]

Thanks. I agree. I think he looks like a lab on roids. When you see him in in person, you'll see a bit of mastiff in the face and he's got a head the size of a car battery.

216 lbs? That's a beast.

[COGENT]

haha Lab on roids... awesome.

yeah, 216lbs and growing. It's actually a little weird though. The normal dog stuff like sit and lay down are a big deal for him. When he sits in the house he actually puts his butt on the couch (pretty funny to see actually) because it's easier for him to get back up.

You named your dog Mongo? as in a guy from Edmonton, Mongo?

I've got him enrolled in Dog Obedience: Puppy Kindergarten, here in Okotoks, starting Sept. 20.
Classes are every Monday evening for an hour each and they last 6 weeks.

Nice dog, Rerun!

Sometimes threads about dogs are much nicer than threads about the NHL.

Cowperson, I love your dogs!

Rerun's little guy is really cute.

[Rerun]

Thought I'd throw up a couple of pics of Ryley...

He's 6-1/2 months old now and weighs in at 56 lbs.




He's a real joy to have.

[Rerun]

Just thought I would resurect this thread with an update.

Ryley is now 16 1/12 months old and doing great. He's been to obedience classes, agility classes, and is doing fantastic in the show ring. He's 1 point away from obtaining his Canadian Champion title. You need 10 pts and at least 1 major win (3 pts minimum). He has 3 major wins.

Here's his latest pic...

[IliketoPuck]

Gorgeous pup, Rerun.

[Rerun]

Ryley got his Canadian Championship title today! Woohoo!!!

One day shy of 17 months old...
