She has those spots all over her body, the ones on the inside of her
front legs are red.
I told the rescue folks that if she didn't work out for me, I'd foster
her til she found a home. While she's not exactly what I thought I
wanted, I absolutely adore her and can't imagine giving her up. The
other dogs like her, Don is smitten... she's just a good fit. She's
taken to all the equipment, is willing to try anything I ask of her.
She takes hints from the other dogs, also, so I try to be sure she's
surrounded by good influences. She's so incredibly soft... her coat
looks like whelp coat, but she's not had pups. She was loaded with
worms, so maybe that's what's causing the thin hair on her flanks. I
'spect it'll come in nice and thick. She's 15 months old. Isn't she
cute?

Okay, I'll sort of make a very bad stab at impresonating Liisa, but the
red spots are almost certainly where she would have rust markings if she
was a non-white dog. So the inside of the legs, top of eyebrows, muzzle,
etc. might be red, and the rest of the body black. Spots that is. With
lots of white. She's very cute, I'm glad you decided to get her.
< Is she a bc? >
Yep.
And if it makes you feel any better, the thread about your neighbor's
dog is what helped me decide to offer to foster. I owe the dog fairy,
big time, for Winston, Kira, Rush, Nikki.... :-) I'm boarding some
standard Poodles the first of Sept., and after they go home we're going
to offer to foster another dog {who will NOT be staying}.
Debbie
Wiw, she is really, really neat looking.
Is she officially a foster failure, or just unofficially?
We figure her for a tri. She doesn't have any other spots where the
'tri' part would show up.
< She's very cute, I'm glad you decided to get her. >
Me too. She's just a joy to have around. Amazing what people will

Oh, yah. It looks like you lucked out.
<Wiw, she is really, really neat looking.>
I think so, too. You should see her IRL. She just sparkles. </smitten
Mom talkin'>
<Is she officially a foster failure, or just unofficially? >
I let the rescue in charge of her know yesterday that I wanted to keep
her. She was a dog I was interested in, and they are short of foster
homes, so I offered to foster her while I was checking her out, and told
them I'd continue to foster her if she wasn't a dog I wanted for myself.
I _am capable of fostering without adopting. Just thought I'd toss that
out there. ;-)
Debbie
< It looks like you lucked out. >
We sure think so! She's a peach of a dog.
Debbie
Yay! Dicey is here to stay! Bodhi is glad. I think he kinda liked
her. (Of course, he's really not all that particular, yanno!)
She really, really is very cute, especially for a BC. <grin>

want to let on to you about that! :-)

I know y'all thought she was a sure thing, but I truly wasn't certain
until yesterday. Though I"ll admit I was 95% there a week ago. I had
this idea of what my BC would be, and Dicey ain't it. Kim asked what I
thought I wanted, and I told her I really wanted a high drive dog with
no issues. She laughed, and said 'You _love issue dogs! The more
quirks they have, the better you like 'em! Name one dog you truly love
that's normal." I just stood there sputtering. I hate it when she's

Is "shelter / rescue / foster care" a new way to
SHOP for dogs?
lyinglynn writes to a new foster care giver:
For barking in the crate - leave the leash on and
pass it through the crate door. Attach a line to it.
When he barks, use the line for a correction.
- if necessary, go to a citronella bark collar.

Dogs like this are a great advertisement for rescue - whenever I take
Angel anywhere, people are always amazed that such a perfect little dog
came out of rescue, and I think it helps at least a few folks ("But
don't all rescue dogs have something wrong with them?") rethink their
attitudes towards adopting a rescue dog.

I also want to be sure that whatever he achieves in the sport, the

Since I don't know nothing about this business, I'll ask the stupid

________'s Somethingortheother? Is something like Roll 'em Dicey not
acceptable? What's the blank supposed to be?

Yah, that's them. It's a good song and a good album -- the cover art is made
up of dice. I love dice, so it was an easy album to like (DH is the real
fan, though). You can see the cover at:

Jess
> Limbaugh... didn't cross my mind. (Is he known for gambling, or

Ummm, if you are Canadian, the closest you could come to Rush Limbaugh
might be Preston Manning. When you see him, kleep on going *way* to the
right. When you think that you have gone far enough, keep on going.
Note, this is my opinion based on what I, a canuckistanian, have seen
reported on him by the media up here. Most of the media in Canada is pretty
much liberal (as in left wing) so it may have been skewed a bit. There may
have been claims of baby-eating and ritual sacrifice in there, but I took
those statements as mild exaggeration. <grin>

I assumed it was reserved for the breeder's kennel name. For instance, my
limited-registration pup is named Old School Strange Breeze, where Old
School Mastiffs is the name the breeder uses. All of the dogs from that
kennel are Old School ____ or Old School's _____.
BTW, from what I understand, in the AKC it is a pain to "officially"
register the kennel name (it takes 5 or 10 years of use before you can
apply, IIRC), so people just use a name and require that pups they place
have it as a prefix in their official name. But it seems to work.
I don't know if Debbie is using her breeder's kennel name or not though.
Jess
> I assumed it was reserved for the breeder's kennel name.
I was under the impression that Dice is a rescue, hence the need to ILP
her. So, a kennel name wouldn't be relevant here.
Suja
<Noe, after the Canadian rock and roll band. One of their songs is Roll

Ah. <whew> Now I can quit wonderin' about y'all. ;-)
Debbie
< Why are all the names being suggested along the lines of ________'s
Somethingortheother?>
It's not a stupid question! It's 'traditional' to use a kennel name
{which we don't know} or sometimes a person ILPing a dog will use their
own name, something along that line. One of my favorite ILP'd names is
NJGSDR's Hangman's Fury, a well known rescued agility GSD that went HIT
at last year's specialty.
< Is something like Roll 'em Dicey not acceptable?>
Of course it is. So far, I'm considering Rescue's Not A Gamble and Rock
N Roll 'Em Dicey. Would love to have more ideas. I can usually come
up with names, and have helped a lot of friends name their dogs, but
this one isn't coming as easy for me for some reason.

I always thought that Rush would make a good BC name, and I've
considered it for my next dog. Up here, Limbaugh isn't
broadcast (that I know of) because of CRTC regulations on
foreign content, so people wouldn't automatically think "Rush
Limbaugh" when they heard the dog's name. I don't want a
"people" name for a dog, let alone a famous person's name.

--Matt. Rocky's a Dog.
Some of us who ILP the retreads use a "kennel name" anyway. For
example, I know of at least one other ACD named Sam-I-Am. But not ANZ
Sam-I-Am, which is how his LP with the UKC was listed.
I haven't done anything about Duke's ILP status (mainly because I'm no
longer interested in competing), but he'd be ANZ Something-Or-Other if I
did.

I don't think that's how the owner registered him, but he was called Seeker

Thank you, and thank you, I think. ;-) Interestingly enough, only one
person so far has given me a hard time, which might be because I've ran
a BC for the last year or so.
This is a _fun little dog. She's been doing 'Where's your nose' swiping
her paw across her muzzle. We were practicing tricks today, and she'd
just done something wonderful so I whooped and hollered with her. I
next asked for 'Where's your nose?" and she was so excited that from a
sit she reared up, swiped her nose with both paws simultaneously, and
went into an instant down. I laughed til tears ran down my cheeks.
While I feel bad that her first family dumped her at the pound, I'm sure
glad they did.
Good to 'see' ya.

Soren and I are Sirius, ahem, serious Harry Potter fans, we are now
re-reading book 4 (The Goblet of Fire). I like names that fit in many ways
such as Sirius Black for a FCR.
I know of a impish little sable smooth collie girl named CH Sunbriar The
Golden Snitch. Wow, that is a Great Name for a sassy smoothie bitch (I
should know . . .).
Personally I like people/animal/creature names - from books, history, folk
tales or mythology. A lot of collies are given Scottish names (there are a
ga-zillion Lassies and Laddies out there) but I like to go against that
trend. Silka was named for a German friend. Dino came to us as Dean but
Dino just fit him better. Besides there is an endless number of nicknames
one play off of Dino (Dino-rino-bambino). Zeffie was named after Zephyr, the
Greek deity for the West Wind. Pablo's registered name is Maighdlin
Picasso. We had thought of naming him Zorro with the registered name of
Maighdlin Swashbuckler. Lucy came to us as Lexi, registered name of
Starfire Mirror Reflexion. We renamed her Lucy partly because I think of
Lucy as a little girl name and since Lucy is a rich reddish gold sable, she
makes us think of that whole "I love Lucy" thing. That said, half the time
I call her Goose.

Harry, or (despite not being one of the fluffy Belgians) the fact that he's
my dog with the most hair. I'm still trying to decide what to register him
as. It needs to be 'H__ du Dantero'
Just using Harry is kinda boring. I'm thinking either 'Hurricane Harry du
Dantero' (26 letters, but I think it will sneak by) or 'Hairball du
Dantero.' Or maybe just Hurricane. Or, I tried to think of something cool
that started with H from the Harry Potter books, but I didn't try really

I think you're going to have fun putting that together.
I sort of hate the "following the pack" aspect to naming a dog "Sirius
Black," but it is such a *fantabulous* name for a Flat-Coat in so many
ways, and I'm such a fan of the character, that it's very very tempting.
I'd take other nominations for a good name with the word "Star" in it,
though. Kennel name is Coastalight, it will (probably) be a boy.
I had a horse that I named Harry Lou Emmis when I bought
him. His original name had been Honcho, which didn't suit
him at all.

Amazing what a google on "Heinlein Friday" will turn up, and the
first hit no less. _Friday_ was published in 1982, though,
somewhat after my Heinlein-reading days (not to date myself).
Heinlein's Friday was a *gurl*, though! This is just wrong.
