We picked up our new dog from a rescue up in Redding. She's been great so far. Austrailian Shepard mix.

Yeah that sucks. I lost my Akita due to a brain tumor last year. It's crazy how tough it is. I was down in my office the other day looking for some stuff, his bed is still down there. I flipped it over and caught a whiff of his smell. Still makes me cry a little every now and again. That dog was my homeboy. Used to roll everywhere together. Had my back.

I had a rott that had to be put down young. I got her from my buddy when he went in the army. She had to be put down a couple weeks later. Got some crazy deal where she outgrew her organs. Nuts.

I'd love another Rotty.







Like I said mike... I'll check out my local spot on monday if you want. Hell if you really want me too, I'll pack up my isht right now and head over there.

Let me know.

I've flown someone to Dallas before for one of my little dogs for the wife so distance is not of any concern for me.

Yes Labradors and Retrievers are essentially the same but there is a large difference in looks between a full blown Lab and a full blown Retriever, I love the breed but would need a dog that doesn't look too similar to Thugs. I'll get another Retriever for sure down the line as Thugs was the best dog I have ever owned I just can't get one right now or it would not be fair to the dog as I would be drawing comparisons to a dog that quite simply could never be replaced!

I got my Pharaoh Hound / Black Lab mix from Special Pets Rescue up in Clear Lake. I drove a ways to find my guy because he is a Very Rare breed in the U.S. However he was DEFINITELY worth the drive.

However, depending on how far you are willing to drive that might help to let you know about other shelters as well (example shelters up in Sacramento area might be farther than you're willing to go, but maybe not in which case you could potentially get some good recommendations for up that way or generally out of the East Bay).
I've always thought pharaoh hounds are awesome liking dogs.

We got both our dogs through poundpuppyrescue.org. They are in Palo Alto and are great people and rescue from all over the world.

Aw Mike, I'm sorry to hear about Thugs, I know how pets are family. My condolences on your loss.

Best to you in finding your new familymember!
