Description Just a quick burn and dodge sketch of a dog I am hoping to add to the kennels. Now that I have a cattle ranch I need a cattle dog, it's a little dangerous to chase them around on ATVs full throttle across the hilly NC terrian. So I stumbled across adoptables of one of the best herding dogs EVER the Beauceron! What luck!!! [link]

Yep all Beaucerons have extra dew claws on the hind legs, it's been bred into them so I guess some don't have them, but most do

I REALLY needed a cattle dog, I didn't think Phoenix would be up for the job, so I looked for border collie adoptables, didn't see any I wanted and just happened to come across the Beaucerons and was like NO WAY! You should add a . . . . afghan hound

hahaha border collies aren't as good with cattle as sheep anyway, different herding styles. i think for a cattle dog i'd use a... corgi! hehe i always feel amused when i think about those little guys chasing cows around. for sheep probably a regular collie, border collies are overated lol

lmao no thanks, not a huge fan of those XD i think i might do a dollie not that i mention them. they were always one of my favorites growing up. i loved Lassie and I had a friend with two of them and they were so beautiful.

Border collies are one of the smartest breeds but I can't see them going toe to toe with a 2,000 pound animal. I wanted a collie when we started looking for a dog, but my mother said they were nippy and required too much in the grooming department, so we got a pit bull.

Afghan Hounds are UGLY!

My grandma breeds border collies. There's a difference between American bred and Australian bred border collies. My grandma is in the top 10 border collie breeders in the USA, so if you needed information to convince your mom, I'd be happy to provide. Their coat isn't that hard to groom. Stripping out the undercoat two times a year takes out all the shedded hair!

well border collies are smart yeah, but there are different herding styles for sheep and cattle. sheep, being smaller and more fragile, can't handle a lot of rough handling, most sheepdogs use a combination of barking to scare them and intimidation to drive them. cattle are bigger and tougher, most cattle dogs tend to be more agressive and will nip at the cattle's heels and bite and charge at them. there are smooth coated collies, which solves the grooming problem. as for the nipping, all herding dogs do that, cattle dogs are worse tho lol and collies aren't nearly as high strung as border collies. pit bulls are awesome too tho lol.

well i don't think they're ugly... i just don't find them attractive. really in afghan their coats never get that long XD it's just the show dogs that looks so ridiculous.

WickerWolfArt In reply to Atroxa [2010-02-14 19:59:20 +0000 UTC]

I love the corgis, the cow kicks out and misses I have seen a few collies get too rough with the sheep and the owners are NOT happy. I mentioned a smooth coat and she said they were ugly, I was like whatever! But then when Eukenuba came on (soooo happy the poodles didn't win!) she saw the smooth coat and siad he was handsome I was what the hell?!!? But our pit bull is fairly laid back, when he wants to be.

I did NOT know that, an Afghan Afghan hounds looks different from the American ones? hmm breeding has gotten a bit crazy, dogs are no longer suited to their original purpose . . . . have you seen this?

Atroxa In reply to WickerWolfArt [2010-02-14 20:07:08 +0000 UTC]

she's prejudice against collies! not cool D: sounds like she was just being difficult though XD yeah they're not supposed to get rough but unfortunately they're mostly bred as companions these days so i think that sometimes they get misbred and it effects they're natural herding ability. and then some one gets one and tries to herd with it and they don't do quite right. that's like german shepherds, they still have that herding drive but a lot of the time, they're no good at it because they're too agressive and end up biting the sheep.

yep, in afghan they're actually still used for hunting and as regular dog, the elements keep their coats from getting too long, maybe about six inches at most, it's supposed to help protect them from the cold and heat and wind. you could take one of them and raise it somewhere else and it's coat will grow out but they're not really SUPPOSED to. people who imported them to other countries just thought it looked pretty when they did.

yeah i've seen that, they're talking about the same thing with english bulldogs and a few other breeds that have just been bred to look a certain way but that look is affecting their health.

The show shepherds have a really sloped back and can't move properly anyway, the police dog line looks much better

I need to look up a good afghan, they just look like longer haired salukis?

The bulldogs can't breathe, poor things

Atroxa In reply to WickerWolfArt [2010-02-14 20:25:25 +0000 UTC]

well really, that's just how they stand for shows, they have to be trained to stand that way, like sitting back on their hocks. i have a friend who shows german shepherds and hers both move and look just fine outside the ring. and i did obedience classes with my mix when i was younger and the woman who hosted them showed german shepherds and they were the same way. it does put strain on their backs and legs, standing like that, but it doesn't actually effect their build.

not really... and it's hard to find pictures of them but here's kind of what they look like [link] that one is american bred i think but it's not a show dog.

and they can't do natural birth cause their heads are so big, if a mama bulldog tries to give birth to pups naturally it'll kill her and the pups.

Oh wow much better looking afghan!
Maybe it's just the british show dogs [link]
I think almost all female bull dogs have to have c-section I've NEVER heard of one giving birth naturally, which is NOT natural obviously!

yeah british dogs are bred differently than american ones. swedish show shepherds are really nice looking, not a lot of difference between them and working dogs except maybe they're a little prettier.

I like the shorter haired version! I bet when it's really brushed out it looks pretty nice, afghans don't have time to brush their dogs all the time, our longer haired dogs would probly over heat too, you think? Dunno cuz they lure course sometimes.

Atroxa In reply to WickerWolfArt [2010-02-14 23:29:04 +0000 UTC]

well afghan coats aren't really fur... it's more like hair, not like human hair but close, so it's not so thick as say a husky's fur. hence why it chords like that. and the longer haired dogs would probably do ok but they'd probably need to be trimmed, though their hair would probably break off on its own after a few weeks of the elements and such. afghans are still the same body wise, it's just the fur that's different.

we shaved my dog winnie during the summer, her fur was short, but really thick (chow mix) and if we didn't she'd get really bad heat spots. i always felt bad for her during the summer, big and black with thick fur and when she got heat spots she'd just bother them so much they'd get infected and we had to put those head cone things on her and she hated them lmao she'd just sit in the corner of our yard and sulk

Aww sad
We had an AKC registered black chow named Ben, we was shaved in summer, I don't remember him well though, too young. But when he got shaved he was so humiliated we brought him home and he hid in his house and refused to come out for days.

winnie loved it, we'd shave her and she'd run out to the back yard and run a few circles then plop down in the grass and roll around in it like "AHHHHHHH" but a friend of mine had a chow named Howie that they'd shave and he hated it too XD she'd poodle cut him just for the hell of it, take pictures, then shave everything off XD he'd just sit there and stare at her afterwards like "i hate you"

I hate when people say dogs are not emotional, because they definately ARE! I've seen embarassed dogs, you've seen a happy content dog Our neighbor had a dalmatian that he would let out of the pen for us to play with, it was fun watching him scoot in the grass. He would put his chest on the ground, forelegs down by his sides and push himslef around with his back legs because the grass was nice and cool He was an older dog and when we went to visit a few years back his kennel was empty, so I guess he passed, he was cool dog though, retired firehouse mascot.

dogs don't have the range of emotions humans do but they most certainly do have some emotions. you couldn't be around my two dogs Roxie and Winnie and not notice their very different personalities and the different ways they acted and handled things and think that dogs are just mindless animals.
i miss my dogs... winnie passed away about two years ago from cancer and roxie passed away about four months ago from old age, she was about 12, i'd had her since the 3rd grade, winnie since the 5th. i live in an apartment that only allows cats and small dogs and i'm just not a small dog person so i got a cat. he's a good cat, but he's no dog. i'll always be a dog person. loki has quite the personality but dogs are just... theres nothing like when you come home and your dog is there waiting for you and they look SO excited to see you. you don't get that from cats. or even people. i plan on getting a dog as soon as i get a house lol

Aww, sorry to hear that. I looked out the window today and Jer-Z was sleeping on the exact spot our other two dogs are buried, weird. But it was like new replacing old, idk how else to explain it, it was strange and bitter-sweet. I have never had a cat, mom's allergic I have heard some cats learn to fetch quite well I wish I had my own place, I'm a little apprehensive about moving out on my own

that's sweet :3 I don't know where dad burried Winnie but Roxie is burried at my boyfriend's parents' house cause they were keeping me for her when she died.

cats are cool, but they do everything on their terms. Loki greets me when i get home and stuff but when i want to pet him he tries to do this whole "oh alright but only because i feel like it" with dogs they're just like "yes please! i love you!"

it can be hard, but i wouldn't move back in with my dad now unless i absolutely have to.
