Welcome to the group! My downstairs neighbor has recently lodged a complaint about "weird siren sounds" coming from our apartment LOL happy to have another siren dog here!

@tanza I don't believe there was a limit to the number of letters, though I wasn't paying much attention to whether the field stopped me from continuing. Tanza is nice! I was actually surprised no one has claimed the name :D

@tanza Thanks! There doesn't seem to be one! Perfect!

Hi everyone! I've begun registering with the FCI and Taiwan's Kennel Club and I need to know if this name has been taken at all. A quick Google search says no? And there is not one in the FCI database, but I figured I should check with y'all since you are B-folk!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!! Yeah the display cupboard I dedicated to her ribbons needs to be rethought LOL I'm so proud of her!

Thanks guys!! It was so fun! That big one is honorable mention for Best in Show Junior, which we're super excited about! The next one is in January and you bet we're going again to kick some ass XD

Roux did good at her second show! I'm so proud of our girl! image url)

He's a handsome fella regardless, though I see some B in there!

Wow great photo! May I ask what camera and settings you're using?

@eeeefarm I for one enjoyed the post, it's interesting and sometimes intriguing to see opinions, methods, theories, etc with dog behavior and training. For those with less experience and joined this group to learn, posts like this AND the replies that come after are very useful.
I do think this should be a place to share "cool stuff" and everyone should feel free to discuss how they feel about it. Is that not the use of a forum?

@JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

Hahaha well so far I've had various dog treats in my mouth, which is kind of ok since I buy high quality stuff. My mouth has this habit of chewing whatever I hold in there, so yep, I ate a few of them :grinning_squinting_face:
Thanks for the input guys!

Two votes for chicken breast! I shall try it!

Just wondering: what do y'all use for treatos during shows? Roux is a huge fan of peanut butter, but it's messy!

You guys are honestly so lovely~ thanks for caring about little Roux and her human :heart_suit:
And I will have plenty of fun!! Roux too, it's one of the few times she ever gets peanut butter LOL

@Zande Thanks!! I'll post photos and video!

@elbrant thanks for the email alert!

OMG I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE!! I've been about a month without a computer and just bought a new one, so I haven't been checking on the forum! Coincidentally we had those quakes and I must've scared you guys! Roux and family are just fine since we're up in Taipei which is on the opposite end of the island. Up here it was only about a 3 on the Richter scale. We're fairly used to earthquakes, being on the Pacific Ring of Fire, though my heart goes out to the folks down south who suffered damage.
We've been prepping for her next show which will be on the 16th of this month! I've also applied for Yodeldog Kennel registration with the FCI and also government permits to become a breeder here, things are getting interesting! How is everyone else? And apologies again for the worry!

Aw, welcome to womanhood Safi! We swear it's not so bad all the time LOL
