[Tilmbeinymn]

"The rich man's guardian and the poor man's friend,
The only creature faithful to the end. "

This one reminds me of Scruffy
"A dog is like an eternal Peter Pan, a child who never grows old and who therefore is always available to love and be loved"


“Some breeds suffer from great popularity. A motion picture, a television show, a product commercial – all influence the public to seek out a particular breed of dog…”

"without the game in us you have lost the entire breed"




I don't agree with this quote in it's entirety but

""Every dog starts life with a blank canvas. His destiny etched by the hands of the painter, and each one an artist's original. The portrait painted depends on how the brush is held. Paint with hostility, and a dog learns to fight. Paint with cruelty, and a dog learns fear. Paint with anger, and a dog learns aggression. Paint with praise, and a dog learns confidence. Paint with boundaries, and a dog learns respect. Paint with tenderness, and dog learns to bond. Paint with affection, and a dog learns to love. Every dog is a product of its environment. Bad dogs are not born, they are created. If the portrait is flawed, look to the artist. Stop blaming the dogs!" -Jodi Preis "
