Both my dogs died years ago, but I had two Great Danes.

(What would you expect from a guy who calls himself "shaggy"?)

They were both harlequins, and when/if I ever get another dog it'll definitely be another Dane, though not necessarily a harlequin (from what I understand, they have a somewhat shorter lifespan).  Great dogs though - here's pics of one of them...Zoe.

Here is a pic of my Chow named Bear.

I've got a 2year old black & tan dachsund "Gus".
He's a smart dog but can be hard headed.  

Not surprising to to see several Chow and Chow mixed dogs with this crowd.
Years ago, the first thing I remember reading about the breed, I read the "Chow is a dog with intense loyalty that if necessary will die for you but will not heel."
Truer words have seldom been written.
I have three - a blue, a cinnamon and a black.
Two years ago I had to put my 14.5 year-old blue male down.  Broke my hard-assed heart.

After two weeks I went out and got my present blue male and his sister (black).  My cinnamon female is 13 yrs. old and eats like a horse.

Sorry but no picture capability.

Took me a while to get my photo host started, here's my first attempt at a picture posting here.

My dog Heidi,

BTW BEAGLES  I agree that beagles are the best!

She knows what beagles taste like.



Ding dong owner of a beagle pup
walked up to her, held the pup
just over her head and said
"See... it's alright."

She loves cats too!

I've got your everyday ordinary destructive Rotty. Damn are they powerful!!

Nice Rott you have there  gardenWeasel.

Debo loves cats too!

Too bad for the cats though... many APBT's can climb trees. I have seen a video of one American Pit Bull Terrier that could climb a telephone pole... that blew me away!

fattyM4,
Depends on what you want/expect out of the dog.
Both are wonderful breeds, and I spent about a
year trying to make the same decision. Both are
big, beautiful and always draw attention. The
Malamutes are 30-40 pounds bigger as adults.
The Huskies have a bigger selection in color
of coats and eyes. For me, the deciding factor
was temperment. I wanted the more child
friendly of the two. Both have awesome
temperments, but the Malamutes are a
more "protective" breed and are more likely
to "fend off" any trespassers. The Huskies are
more "socially accepting" and are although
they will alert you of a stragers presence,
they won't do much about it (except bark).
Since I have three other dogs, I wanted "a
lover, not a fighter". The dogs let me know
when something's up, and that's where "dad" and
the 2nd Ammendment come into play. I spoke to
a lot of owners and breeders, and decided that
a Husky was what I wanted. I will try to post
pics of Lobo and the rest of the dog
pound. If Beagles will post them for me I will send them to him (he'll like my beagle Zoe)    

One of my Rotts - this one is VonBlazin's Ace in the Hole - affectionately known as "Rommel"

A pic from a couple months ago at 6 months - he's now 9mo and just a hair under 90lbs.
