Haha, I'd like to introduce you to Mortimer and Kalista. The only way you can dress them up and do anything to them would be if you give them a hand to chew on to distract them, and they will still be thrashing all over the place. :roll:


:rofl: Just thinking about Moritmer even coming out of the cage without a fight. I've definately got to try and get someone to take some pictures of him when he does his death role,"I'll eat you" thing.

Are you referring to Weimerainers? They're actually typically one of the more unpredictable breeds we deal with at the clinic I work at.....the ones that that guy uses for photos are very well trained, I assure you. :wink: :)

Really, they're unpredictable? That's one of my favorite breeds -- ever see any Pharaoh hounds?

No, i've never seen a pharoah hound in person...just in dog shows. Weimers are pretty dogs, they just seem kinda skitzoid. But If you have the time and effort to put into training them then I say go for it. I think Titus would have been really hyper too if I hadn't been diligent with his training from a young age. It's all how you make the dog, we just have several irresponsible clients..... :roll:

Me too. There is something to be said for simplicity and a good crisp photo.

I had a clear winner but the rest were too close for me to decide. Does anyone remember I think it was Johan's christmas pic from last year? It was tops.
