Min Pin people are vicious! I have one friend in the breed and I am showing her dog for her, but I will not stay in the breed. I prefer a breed where I don't have to worry about bickering with other breeders.. I pretty much keep to myself in ACDs because I've heard that a few of the breeders can be pretty vicious as well, and I don't play the game to argue with them.

Ohhhhhhhh how I hate when they look awesome on day 9 and them BLAM all 7's and eights! lol Frustrating!!!

I pretty well keep to myself; I'm just there to have fun, like you said I'm not there to argue and I have a blast checking to see how they all did in the shows every day. Wish my real life dogs would take majors and finish as quickly as they sometimes do on SD!

If you or anyone else is looking for a breed to get into that isn't waaaaay up on the difficulty scale as well as fairly easy to get nice SOP and SS on check out the Neos. I'm always looking for more breeders in the breed and would be happy to start you off with a finishable pup.

RedHotDobe · 01-03-2005, 07:20 PM

Ahhh! Puppies!! Why can't they settle in, oh, let's say, 5 days?? I'm very impatient. Plus the litter I have now is 6 days old on old.showdog.com, but only 5 days old on showdog.com... gah!! I hope I don't have to wait an extra day! I may go nuts!!

You two should talk to people in your breeds. They tend to lower their stud fees for you... :hint hint:

Plus when you're in chat people just start throwing dogs at you. LOL It's great to be in a breed with some nice people. Oh, and take a look at JenniB's kennel page if you get a chance, I am in love with her Doberboy.

I'd be interested in a Neo Crossfire, just as soon as I'm not so poor anymore. I've been thinking of getting a few dogs from another breed. And I definitely have the room.

We need some more Global Pawers to sign up and be active. We could get a show sponsoring thing going. We'll run the place. Hehehehehe

I did finally ask someone to make a banner for me, so I'm getting there. Deejay's banners are beautiful though, I've seen a few in different breeds.

Does anyone check the Alpha Dog Forum? If you don't you should take a look at the Berner somebody bred. Lotsa 10s!

Rip's Girl · 01-03-2005, 11:46 PM

LOL Red, I think that's one of FlyingDogKennel's Berners.

Also, I have a top-winning Australian Cattle Dog, and I can arrange for some of the rich kennels in chat (some of them have over 18,000 in one kennel) to add a huge payout for the show that Delirium is entered in.. So Red if you ever need some cash, I can ask someone in there, get a $1000 payout and buy one of your pups for that.

lol

I asked for help on the message boards there....I know basically nothing about showing a real dog, much less a virtual one.

Gaddy I'd be happy to help you out with anything you need info on, Skipwall also has a great listing of mentors that can help as well and we can sure get you going!

Crossfire Bulldogs · 01-04-2005, 02:28 PM

Redhot - Just let me know when your ready for a pup.

I have no problem selling my high SOP pups to someone I know will finish them. Up until now I've only had 86+ available, kept the higher for myself since many of my champs are about to retire but I'm pretty well stocked and will have higher coming up within a few days. That's IF they settle like I'm betting since a few are repeat breedings.

Crossfire Bulldogs · 01-05-2005, 07:17 PM

Ok now I'm ticked, just had a few pups settle and the Skipwall site is down!

Grrrrrr! lol

Oh well, doesn't look like but maybe two settled half way decent in my Saints anyway.

RedHotDobe · 01-05-2005, 07:18 PM

Rip's, if you helped me go un-broke, I'd give you a puppy!! Okay, maybe not, one it's not possible and two I need the money. LOL

If you're going to overpay, ahem, I mean respectably purchase a puppy, I'll make it a superb one.
None of my dogs are entered in shows, and haven't been for awhile. I'm waiting until Kalechos Midnight Run (87.5%SOP and 14SS!!) is fully sessioned, and I think Becks Kahlua and Creme might not do too too bad. Now Baroness Tabasco and Rainbow Six von Ami... I think I wasted a little too much money trying to get them anywhere. I'm not sure how I got a Ch on Agils Thunderstorm, dumb luck I guess.

And my high SS girls, Baroness Catch Phrase and RWK Winter Morgen, they won't be seeing the ring.

I'm still waiting to see how the puppies turn out, #5 was my pick from day 1.

Crossfire, I will dutifully get that Ch on a Neo pup from you.

The odds always seem to be against me, but I trudge on anyway. And I did succeed with Agils Thunderstorm!

Gaddy you (or anyone else who wants to start) should take Crossfire's offer. I'd be willing to answer tons of questions if anyone has any. I had no clue what I was doing when I started, and probably almost killed the entire website at one point. As soon as you figure out what the heck is going on, it's a little less frustrating.

And check out the mentors... I'm surprised Geri put up with me. Oh the questions I asked... LOL!

RedHotDobe · 01-05-2005, 07:21 PM

Crossfire I just looked at Skipwall... what the heck is going on??

There's warnings all over the place.

RedHotDobe · 01-05-2005, 07:23 PM

Okay, one last thing and I'm done... MY NEW BANNER!!

No Creek made it for me.

Crossfire Bulldogs · 01-05-2005, 07:23 PM

Now here's something that I haven't been able to find any info on that I've always been curious about.......

Exactly how does the retirement couch work? I've never put a dog there but often wondered, by putting them there does it not change your prestige or exactly what would be the advantage? lol This is the only thing I'm still not sure on sooooo don't ask me on this one! lol

I'd be not only happy to start anyone off in Neos but also Saints. My bully kennel isn't far enough along yet to start anyone off, can't seem to get myself very far on that one yet. lol Just send me a note and let me know your interested and I'll put the pup at the lowest possible.

Not sure if their server burped or if they have a serious problem going on. Errors all over the place.

RedHotDobe · 01-05-2005, 07:30 PM

Okay Crossfire... come in close... this is a secret...

You put dogs that you've finished on there to keep your prestige up, but not have them count towards your 30 dog total. But Shhhh! No one knows.

LOL, At least that's what I've gathered. I have Ch Agils Solar Wind on there because he was my first dog. Only problem is ya still gotta pay for food, so I guess it's whatever is more important- prestige or money. As for me, I like prestige, but not enough to send all my Ch dogs to the retirement couch.

We keep posting at the same time, let's see if it happens again
