He looks like he could be a Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher mix.

yeah, who knows what the exact mix is...I was thinking maybe chihuahua/italian greyhound mix. he's probably a chihuahua/mutt mix...lol They have DNA testing now for mixed breeds that can identify up to 8 breeds for a mixed dog. I think it can go back to their great great grandparents or something crazy like that. One of the doctors I work for is checking into it and if it's not too expensive, I think it would be cool to see what exact mix Rusty and Jetta are :)

Postby aggiegirl » Wed Aug 01, 2007 7:16 pm

That DNA testing really is kind of cool. I wish it were less expensive. Then, when you went to a shelter to look at dogs, you would have a better idea of what you were getting. They tend to mark small dogs as chihuahua mix, medium sized dogs as beagle mix, and large dogs as lab mix. My "lab mix" (that I got as a child) tried to herd cattle for me one day and tried to kill my golden the next. Needless to say, I didn't expect that from a "lab mix." Unfortunately, the testing might be used to dictate euthanasia for pits, etc. Every tool can be used for good and bad....

hey, just for the person who asked last o.t thread, you dont need a permit to hold any reptiles except our own nativy tyoe reptilians, e.g hawkes bay yellow skinks...which turn green.... :?

also any skinks that are native to, and just before some one asks the stupid question..."are you allowed to keep tuatara?" the answer is a big NO!!!!!! unless you are affiliated quite highly with d.o.c and m.a.f and you are part of an extensive breeding program that pretty much takes up your whole life...

nah weel the reason i wanted to know about permits in aussy wqas that im moving there so i want knowledge from actual australians and then maybe i can sort something oiut before i even get the and then let the herping begin mwahahahahahaha...

:shock: wow, its amazing what school does to you at my age, im completely tired but i feel like a nutter and i have work in like an hour and a half...

the only reptiles i know of that arent native that you can keep here are bts, bearded dragons, water dragons, and i think up until recently, iguanas...

kyle your an absolute nutter!!! go my 400 ish posts, :roll:

and why is it imporatant (wow i should learn to spell) zach, for people to see how wierd some of us are, and not experience the intelligence and rare charisma of the more sensible members (excluding certain people) lol, lost my train of thought...ILL MEET YOU BACK AT THE STATION!!!

ok.. just finished reading the final installment of the Harry Potter series. I feel kinda depressed now.. not because of the story, just because there isn't going to be anything more to read. I think I could keep on going reading those books forever.

I think he is adorable. He looks more mini pincher'ish.

I loved the Simpsons movie, though my daughter thought the Bart on the skateboard scene was ummm interesting.

They need to make the harry potter movies faster now i think. The kids in it are all 6 feet tall now and supposed to be playing 16 and really dont look it anymore. But I guess if you can have a 30+ year old playing a jr in high school like in 90210 you can have a 20 year old play 17.

I think in another 5 years or so Rowling will write another Potter book, maybe about what happens 19 years later?

i really think though, that after all this time, you know i mean, ok SPOILER ALERT FOR ANYONE WHO HASNT AND WANTS TO READ THE LAST AHRRY POTTER AVERT EYES NOW!!!!!!!!!










that should be far enough...







maybe a bit further...


ok...thats enough, with voldermort dead and the death eaters gone and whatnot, what evil is left, me and my brother were discussing this, although alot of yelling and swearin was involved, but we reckon that someone more dangerous should come along and just own up everyone except the main characters that are important...you know harry, hermione, ginny, ron, a ghost...

anyway, i dont see if she could do it, its been like a decade building up to this, pretty anti climax fight though, i expected all wands a blazin between harry and voldermort, but noooo has to be like a single attack gone wrong and bang..dead...that made me sad, that she couldnt spend at least 4 pages with massive holes being blown out of stuff and people crying when harry loses an eye..that sort of thing....

i think that 19 years later part sort of killed it but made it better...you start reading and its like..wait...whered all these new characters come from..then you have to go back several pages and read certain parts to find out whose children are whose and such....

anyway enough ramblings from me...

anyone seen any good movies they would reccomend to me to take my girlfriend to...im completely lost a, and its tomorrow....

something ok but not amazing and not terrible...well probably watch about half so yeah...any ideas would be appreciated greatly

Rowling has mentioned that she *may* write a Harry Potter encyclopedia, but it's not confirmed or anything. There is a really good interview where she answers a lot of unanswered things in the book right here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19959323/

You don't count!
It doesn't count if you were the first person to post, EVER.

Oh and that whole, you own the feakin' site makes your claim null and void. I mean how do we know you didn't just go put what ever # you felt like in there for yours, or sit there posting, then deleteing, posting, then deleteing till you had enough to have the most, huh?.

But I digress, It matters not who has the most posts but what those posts contained.
:wink:
