I know two Pharoah hounds that do agility, they are fun to watch, mostly because occasionally they appear to tell their handler off and go do their own thing, but they look fantastic doing it. heh.Saryannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09918163523860394766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805059345305368883.post-1141469345538857112009-02-21T20:56:00.000-05:002009-02-21T20:56:00.000-05:00Austen, I would love to hear about the recipe. fi...Austen, I would love to hear about the recipe. fiveacresenough at blogspot dot com.

Unfortunately, I think we may be a little too late to join in Cincinnati's farm life. It's sad, but at least we have all year to check out the local farms and figure out which ones meet our needs best!<BR/><BR/>Also, my last make-chicken-into soup week-long meal was not photographed and so not ending up on my blog.

Unfortunately, until I get my new brand off the ground, I can't afford even <I>thinking</I> of such a thing.<BR/><BR/>This makes me think: You know the Nikon D90 has a great digital video and it is only about 1 grand (instead of, um, a billion)? I bet it would make some good Brego videos too (wink!). I love the idea of SLR video cameras. They are so un-fussy, and easy to produce.Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805059345305368883.post-30477761184049046952009-02-21T17:01:00.000-05:002009-02-21T17:01:00.000-05:00Andrea, I introduced her on the other blog, but h...Andrea, I introduced her on the other blog, but her name is Kheera.

Sonka is a Siberian/German Shepherd and he both looks and acts like a wolf. <BR/>When he wants to go outside? He stares at you, yawns in your face and makes it apparent that this "being indoors" stifles him. When I am tired and decide that for once (once!) we will not be taking a 5 mile run around the lake, Ennui Dog spends the entire afternoon sighing and lying by the door. If my dog was a person he would write emo poetry and grow his black hair long, to match his soul. What a dork! For a shelter rescue afraid of his own shadow, he certainly has some attitude!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://rialin-design.blogspot.com/2008/09/new-beast-s.html" REL="nofollow"> Pictures! </A>Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805059345305368883.post-17243683809462068912009-02-21T12:30:00.000-05:002009-02-21T12:30:00.000-05:00Wait there's one detail you left out - what is her...Wait there's one detail you left out - what is her NAME? ;)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902291220984883182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805059345305368883.post-65170752708081471552009-02-21T07:53:00.000-05:002009-02-21T07:53:00.000-05:00Funder, Ibizan's are gorgeous dogs. They are not ...Funder, Ibizan's are gorgeous dogs. They are not related to the Pharaohs but they were both bred to hunt rabbits. From the ones I have seen, they also tend to be larger. My Pharaoh is smaller than a female greyhound, finer boned, but taller than say, a Border Collie. A nice medium dog.<BR/><BR/>Andrea,<BR/>I bought the dog to be my jogging partner. She was a good sport, but didn't really like it. She likes to run, untethered, and chase things. I have not tried coursing with her, but I should. <BR/><BR/>I forgot to add hat she paces, like a horse. She has a two beat walk gait, where both feet on the same side move up and impact the ground at the same time. She paces between a walk and a jog, with is a correct diagonal gait with suspension.<BR/><BR/>She's a freak.<BR/><BR/>Sylvia and DP,<BR/>I also saw a gross documentary on purebred dogs. It included the Pekinese and the bulldogs. Yuck. I should add that I had an extremely well bred yellow lab from a rescue (like her puppies were sold for $1k each). She now lives with my Dad and Sister and she did not have any of the problems associated with her breed.<BR/><BR/>My mini Dachy is NOT well bred and she's a genetic wreck. I can't comment on the Pharaoh because the gene pool in the US is so small.Daunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051134715306832694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805059345305368883.post-45211802916934731302009-02-21T01:48:00.000-05:002009-02-21T01:48:00.000-05:00I watched a fascinating and harrowing series on th...I watched a fascinating and harrowing series on the health of purebred dogs recently. Fortunately for me the herding dogs have been less affected, especially in Canada where the CKC does not recognize the border collie (fans of the breed would like to keep it that way -- no barbie collies needed). I have always wanted a whippet, but the potential health problems are a concern. <BR/><BR/>Doesn't even fetch balls, eh?

Well.... let's just say I'm usually the one on the floor. Are Pharohs lazy like greyhounds are? I can convince Ti to bounce around outside with me for about 5 minutes a day, and I drag her out on long-ish walks about 3 times a week - I always want to walk more, but after about 10 minutes she's literally dragging behind me, totally wishing she was back on the couch. She hates moving! And she has a very sensitive stomach too, and of course has her special custom made greyhound coat for these New England winters, which she also hates.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902291220984883182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805059345305368883.post-26548717417004621662009-02-20T22:46:00.000-05:002009-02-20T22:46:00.000-05:00I'm not really all here tonight, apparently. ...I'm not really all here tonight, apparently.
