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

they really are ALL great photos this month. I am particularly fond of the "overall" look of the field shots -- like grand Jackson Pollock paintings done by/in nature, but with gorgeous dogs plopped down onto the canvas! all those DSs laying around in big vistas of yellow flowers - just great!
and then, of course, there is Leih's stunning photo!
and Odin is so funny - looking like just maybe he had a bit too much caffeine before going out to plant his garden!

Autumn, yes, trying to make amends for my great stupidity. much to tell, but in midst of one of busiest times of my life - and that's before a 12-week old DS puppy. will address that later elsewhere and will also introduce TexXan more fully and properly to his family. [ I can't believe how similar Moko and Saki look. like litter-mates with matching tattooed faces! how old is Moko now? ]

Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

John, Mokume just hit 9 months a couple days ago. I can't wait to hear your update when you get a chance! (And I am certainly not one to point fingers on the topic of being busy and as a result lax about the forum!) :)

Autumn, congratulations on Mokume soon being the new masthead dog. it is a most beautiful photograph with such a great profile showing his DS alertness. Sakima turned 13 months sometime in may [ we assume !]. I am going to print a pic of saki's face and compare the 2 to see how identical they are.

I'm glad someone else could see that expression! That's how Odin lives his life. He wakes up everyday like he's ready to party way too hard and then tries wayyyy too hard to focus. Some days, I'll be training him and have to stop to laugh and text my husband "Odin's drunk again!"

OMG, so funny, I can just picture his day having seen that photo. well, congratulations on all the fine training you have accomplished. every once in a while, you allude to a bit of it -- and it sounds very impressive on the part of both of you! [wish you were near me ! ]
