Original is nice with milk and ice. Caramel rocks and mint is manky. :cool:

It's already got cream in it. The idea of adding milk seems like overdoing it. Each to their own I suppose...

Reminds me of an uncle I had in Wexford.Had German Shepards for all his life and every single one of them was called Fritz.When one passed on it was replaced by fritz.

White dogs with black markings were all called "spot" and Im not even going to say what all his black dogs were called but lets just say its completely un-PC.

My meds have gone up €70 since I last filled my prescription, wtf? I might be taken off them soon which is good because €113 is ridiculous.

Yeah that abomination that won crufts a couple of years back was a big blow to GS breeding.

Hate those stupid sloped back ones that cant even walk properly because of this selective breeding.

I deal with the Garda dog unit in work and theyre starting to switch to Belgian shepards due to the mis-breeding of German shepards.

Can I ask a personal question? What was your take on the GSD that won Crufts this year?

Nope when I was put on them they were relatively new if I'm not mistaken so still a long time left on the copyright. If he doesn't take me off them like he would during my last appointment then I might see if there's something cheaper he can put me on. I know there's a few different types of immunosupressants around although what the difference is I'm not really sure...

Do you train them? That'd be one helluva cool job.

Heard they were changing breeds alright. That and there seems to be a massive change in their temperament too. Alot more GSD's in the country of very nervous, timid persona instead of the alert/attentive strong attitude they're supposed to have.

GSD's need out-breeding to get back on track IMO.

I can understand selective breeding to an extent, but when you're trying to keep a breed pure to the detriment of the dog itself, well that's just not right.

I show mine aswell well Milly is retired but she is a green star winner and she has very little slope in her back! the thing with the slope came from trying to show the angles in the rear legs and it created a false slope on the dogs back but then people tried to breed for it which caused the hind legs to go "frogged" and some dogs spines has even curved!! its crazy!! yeh even in Germany they have strted to use the Malinois!! there a serious dog! I do a small bit of schutzhund too - ill prob get one myself for it!

to be honest its hard to tell from the few minutes you see the dog on TV! id like to see him infront of a German Judge who might run an adult class for 20 minutes!! any "structral flaws" in the dog will show once there put to those kind of tests! they have introduce 10km indurance tests for shepherds in germany to try bring the dog back to what it was, a herding dog!!

Not that exciting--We service their cars but the lad that I deal with brought me around the kennels and showed me the dogs the last time I was there.

Yes and no I guess. It doesn't really take long to visually judge a dogs conformation. The photo I seen of it released, the dog was nearly walking on its hocks . Incredible decline in the spine.

I think that showing needs to gave a requirement in field trials - that the dog is still physically fit to do the purpose it was bred to do. I think the AKC do this, but you can correct me if I'm wrong.

The Malinois is a beauty of a dog. Absolute athlete!!

About a year after we got our second moggie our little whure of a dog was up the duff. We really weren't expecting it, we were waiting till number 2 was old enough to get the snip, but he got to her before we could get to him. Hilarity ensued. We took turns sleeping on the couch cos we we had to keep him out of the bed with the pups cos he'd roll over and squish them, and 2 of the little mites were poorly (1 died ). It was the most exhausting, yet rewarding experience of my life.

A job with the K-9 unit or with customs!! id absolutely love it!!!
