    Border Staffy, Border Jack, or Jack Russel?

    I think there are some other Borderstaffy threads that I've posted about my BS. I did want to extend an offer to meet my BS since we both live in Oakland! She has just started competing in USDAA agility (We train with Sharon at Frielance) and she'll be debuting in flyball next month...

    Border Jacks and Border Staffys

    The AKC and UKC standards are 14-16" tall for SBTs. For BCs it gets complicated b/c of the whole ABCA/AKC split but **** some folks are breeding tiny little BCs. Because if you see one in USDAA 18s - they had to wicket under 17.5 inches tall.

    Border Jacks and Border Staffys

    One of the hard things to deal with is how hard it can be to find out about BS litter, especially if you don't have a ton of flyball playing friends. Because for the most part, it's just one breeder that has a number of litters every year and has an active website. Everyone else is having...

    Border Jacks and Border Staffys

    Well…it depends. It really depends on the parents and, to some extent, the grandparents. The ones I have spent time with do have terrier spunkiness. I haven’t seen the bad side of the BC come out as much in the BorderJacks. They tend to be tough little cookies, not hothouse violets...

    How much would you pay for a pair of shoes?

    Too much. But I did just get a complement on my shoes the other day. I probably paid $225 for them like 10 years ago. So I figure they are $22.50 per year, right?

    Baby Stuff (human baby!)

    I'm such a fan of the Mountain Buggy strollers. My godsons have the duet (twins, yo) and it goes everywhere. It's easy to push across fields and rings, get into elevators, push with a dog or two on leash, etc, etc. http://mountainbuggy.com/us/

    Menstrual cups?

    I've been using a diva cup for, gosh, over 4 years now. Easy to put in and remove. no leaking. and yes - I can empty and clean mine twice a day. Which is awesome on dog sport weekends. emptying them can be messy sometimes if your flow is heavy or you pull it out all wrong. But it's saw...

    Do you trust people to watch your dog(s)?

    I have a total freak dog who doesn't travel and since we travel to compete... He has 2 people he adores. Currently, one of them just stays at our house since she is in a shared housing situation. She's not super dog savvy but she totally follows rules and believes me when I say things like...

    Questions About Adding a Puppy to a Single Dog Household

    Sounds like you are aware that while there's some barking that could be a separation issue, Watson can also be a bit of a special snowflake spoiled only dog. So my suggestion would be to start working on it now. Come home and leave again because you are taking the imaginary puppy on a...

    Clipping nails on a willful dog that hates having nails done

    I have some that are awful about nails and good or not, every dog here is different. We dremel 4/6. Our little guy has to be swaddled and muzzled and clipped. No treats - just get 'er done. 3 of my dremel dogs like to be standing. I treat while my wife scoots around lifting each paw...
