As a child we had a Pomeranian, later as a teen I had a Samoyed, CKC registered and champ. I rescued a German Shepard whos parents where moving into a condo and could not keep him, pure breed CKC. Then i went to the Mutts, wife rescued a pure breed Heinz 75

I could see in him some Collie some chow in his toungue a definate grayhound like rear and some Labrador paws... Oscar was meant to be a help dog and went to a lady in a wheelchair, he was always very helpful and listened to a fault.
His companion at the time Nova (Casanova) was a mutt labrador, I should have named him Houdini. Spent more time chasing him around when he escaped the house then walking him. Technically I suppose I walked him when I took him back home. We addopted him out to a large farm where he seemed to be very happy last we heard of him.
We then addopted an Oscar lookalike thinking we could replace him... Big no no, she was the only dog that i could never get to listen to me. We gave her up after she ate a quilt while I was sleeping in it. She ate anything and every thing in sight. I suspect she had been beeten as a pup before we rescued her, the Shelter where we got her said she was found with her sister in a bag...
Presently we have Poutine, a 3 month old Papillon AKC registered. We really love him, I had never thought I would be so into a toy breed as an adult, but guess im hooked.
Right now he is telling my wife that he addopted this computer...
