    @Kipawa: I rode quarterhorses for many years - I just love em, and yours looks to be in good form. The picture of the baby rats is incredible. Thanks for sharing your photos. Thank you :) he does himself proud. Although i actually have trouble keeping weight off him :P unlike his paddock friends (a stockhorse and a thoroughbred). I love the western stuff. QH's are my fav, beautiful nature with a hint of cheekiness. He's starting to loose his awkward look from when he was growing (the see-saw look lol withers higher, withers lower as they grow lol) and hes now filling out which i love - i love chunky qhs :) Rats are amazing :) Glad you like the photo

    @saba: Very sad… Hollywood has a lot to answer for :mad:. Funny story here though... Our Australian early morning breakfast show was doing a story on the Chihuahua, (I cant remember what it was about...), and the female anouncer called them Chee hoo-a hoo-a :eek::eek::o:o... Nothing was said, till after the next commercial break when the male presenter, (who looked like he knew she had really fluffed the pronounciation :D), came back on and apologised about the pronounciation of the breed, and it was called, Chihuahua... The naughty cameraman pans across to the female presenter, who was laughing so much, she had tears rolling down her face, and couldnt speak for about 10 minutes :D. I would love to have been in the studio when it had errupted into laughter about the way she had pronounced it :). NICE! I have a little Mexican hairless Chee hoo-a hoo-a! :D

    @Schouiffy: Well, my pics are not uploaded quite yet.. but I have a Paso Fino mare I keep out by Stanford, and I had a half Arabian half Hanoverian as my jumping sport horse. =) I'm a major sucker for the Arabians.. =) Ooooh! I can't wait for the pictures. We had a half-Arab growing up - he was a handful! Beautiful, a bit high strung, very fun to ride. But he was so sweet - he turned to "mush" when we put a child on him. He really knew…I have very fond memories of him.

    @tanza: I think there are aggressive dogs in all breeds, usually due to poor breeding, poor socialization, and/or medical issues. Personally, I love Doxie's… if it was not for the grooming on the Long Hairs and/or wires, I would have one (or two)... like any breed they are great when bred properly, socialized and do not have medical issues.. (they mostly have back problems for obvious reasons). Toy dogs I do find as the most aggressive... "big dog" complex.. IMO... but again, breeding and socialization goes a long way... and also, again IMO, people do not treat their dogs as a dog (with the dress up, carrying them all the time, treating them like something breakable) adds to the attitude they get.... Agree. And I don't mean to pick on Doxies :) That dog just left a scare on me! Haha. It's scary to be a 7 year old & this little weiner dog is attacking your leg like it's a chicken leg or something. Haha. However, I agree with Tanza & lVoss that it is all how the dog is properly bred & socialized. If you are aggressive to any breed they will probably become more aggressive. I have met some very nice doxies, chiuauas, pitts, rotis, etc. It's all how they are brought up. A lot like children I think.
