Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

is that an AFRICAN WILD DOG?

we have all heard it. well, i, for one, did not know that the AFRICAN WILD DOG was a distinct species, and is even the ONLY species in its genus! a pretty special creature.

maybe way off-beat, but www.nytimes.com has a great article in their ''Science Times'' section [ currently this article is on the home page of their website ] on the African Wild Dog which i think any DS owner would be thrilled to have read for a whole bunch of reasons.

Tell us about yourself: Rescued a dumped DS puppy from the freeway and found his littermate in a nearby shelter two weeks later.
