Crestie? The Chinese Edible Dog

 

[JennSLK]

The first one is probably a old time breed og sled dog inuit people used to use.

 

[FoxyWench]

never heard of cresties being refered to as edible...especially having one sat right by me and noticing while theres a good amount of muscle on the legs, overall this is not a "meaty" dog and youd have better luck making a meal out of a rabbit...
lol

 

[Laurelin]

Lol, wouldn't think Cresties would make the best eating. They also have that funny passage about shelties I've read before.

And what is this?

Kangaroo Greyhound

Thats an interesting,but odd site!

 

[misfitz]

though the author does not regard the nature and disposition of a collie as suitable for lap-dog purposes.

^ You mean this passage about Shelties? LMAO :rofl1:

I don't know, my Sheltie mix is quite the lapdog. Maybe he's thinking about BCs?

The sheltie is descended from the BC so if the author is thinking of them, they would be accurate in their assessment of temperament. Auggie is no lap dog and he wouldn't be happy as one!
Then again, I found myself a working dog because I wanted a working dog. If I wanted a lap dog, I wouldn't go get a working dog. Unfortunately, not everybody thinks that way and would prefer to breed down the sheltie INTO a lap dog. I believe that's what the author might be talking about.

I think the Kangaroo Greyhound might be a rather derogatory labeling of the "Australian Greyhound" since they take pains to distinguish it from the English Grey.

very interesting, lol... edible dogs 'n such,haha

Well, the page previous to the "Chinese Edible Dog" is the Chinese Crested Dog, so I don't guess they are the same thing.

the chinese edible is a completely hairless version.
the roodog is still common in hunting circles in Oz and descends primarily from mixing greyhound & deerhound. the shaggy ones are staghounds & the smooth roodogs. they were used for hunting roos and still are used for fox, dingo, deer (where legal) and feral hogs. a good source of info is ozziedoggers.
