Not a good idea AJ, or you'll be getting questions like what kind of dog is a Chart Polski?

Am I allowed to use google translator? Or would it even do me any good?

Shanao

Google translate would give it away alright. How about a guess at classification then- as in terrier, hound, molosser, retriever etc?

On a side note, its pronounced Heart Polski

The most expensive? (just googled for this one WOW!!)

Shanao

Off the top of my head, it was a tibetan mastiff I think?

Cherry Blossom

Based on it's close relation to the lab, I guess Newfoundland

Like I said, i do way to much reading up about dogs. I spotted that article about a month ago. Beautiful looking dogs, but 1.5 million for a dog!! Bloody hell.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I got this one right now :pac:

<ETA>Too late with the multiple choice answers

Actually never would have guessed that!

Shanao

Not many people would. Almost everyone I've said it to thinks they're from Newfoundland as well.

So, anyone else got a question?

Are ya mad? 1.2 meters is SJI height for seasoned show-jumpers (horses I mean) :eek:

Large Dogs – to be between 55cm (1ft 9.6ins) and 65cm (2ft 1.6ins).
Medium Dogs – to be between 35cm (1ft 1.75ins) and 45cm (1ft 5.7ins).
Small Dogs – to be between 25cm (9.8ins) and 35cm (1ft 1.75ins).

Cherry Blossom

Yeah, I had to look it up, cause I only knew the small breed heights :rolleyes:

anniehoo

ahahahahaha!! I may aswell give up.....:o:D

Cherry Blossom
