Gav,
In my experience, it's not just the dog breed, it's the ownership that makes a difference. As long as the dog is moderately intelligent and well bread, you'll get out of them what you put into it. I'll bet a stack of cash that Davito's dog is pretty incredible

Guys,
Thank you sincerely for all the dog advice, as I said originally I grew up with dogs and we used to own a Siberian Husky. To share our experience with her, we had her as a rescue dog from a home where she was badly mistreated, she was ignored, beaten, and came to us with an injured spine, hips and numerous behavioural problems. We had her before Tom was born, and she was like a daughter to me, I loved her with all my heart.
Pam and i spent literally thousands of pounds of vets, a canine chiropractor, behavioural training, and even a kind of dog psychologist. When she had been with us for three months she bit Pam quite badly on the hand, we persevered, a few months later she bit my friends wife on the arm, again we bought in specialists in canine behaviour. Then we had Tommy, for the first year things were ok, nervous but ok, then one night Pam turned her back for 5 seconds, Tommy picked up Sashas chews from the shopping bag, and Sasha bit a hole clean through his hand.
We had to have Sasha put to sleep, we could not send her on to another family knowing how she was, it broke my heart into tiny pieces. We knew that the way she had been treated early in her life had so scarred her that she would never be trustworthy with people, she also had many other behavioural problems which I won't bore people with.
The reason I am telling you all this is to show that when I say "I will carefully consider what type of dog I bring into my family", you can certainly believe me. Owning Sasha, seeing the damage that her first owners did to her, and ultimately losing Sasha because of it was one of the hardest things I have ever been through, I have no interest in going through it again.

Heartbreaking story, Mega. You did what you had to. At least you can take pride in giving Sasha some well-deserved compassion, in her final years. Best of luck with your future search, and I think you are very wise to approach this decision in a calculated manner. You will know when the time is right.

I just got myself a goruck and need a patch. I started cutting out some leather to design one when I thought the leather patch off my jeans is about that size… and it is pretty close but I don’t want to cut it off! So does anyone out there have a spare one? Giles any comp ones left over?
cheers guysAlso Mega i have had two Rhodesian ridgeback both from the same great breeder and both great dogs that are perfect with children but they are big. I have also had two other dogs that didn’t have the same great first upbringing and they were a lot harder to trust and train. If you buy from the breeder always see the mum, if you feel comfortable and positive you are on the right track. We had to choose from 2 breeders and went with the one that had the postive feel when we saw mum and the pups and i would now never go to a different breeder.

Cheers Giles.

Hey all…
I have a question about whiskers in thigh. I have very slim thighs, and I use my jeans 1 size up because I'm afraid I'll grow fatter than now. But I feel worry about my whiskers because they appear in very small amount compared with anyone else. Is this related with the upsize??? -
Hi, just wear your jeans the way you like
probably the best advice ever given on this forum!

Does anyone know if the Rakuten store Americaya ships internationally? I'm pretty sure their site says they don't, but I thought I'd ask here and verify.

This seems to indicate that they don't:

Yeah, that's what I gathered, too.
Just thought there was an off chance that someone else had personal experience buying something from them. I'd rather not pay proxy fees buying something from a shop that would sell to me directly…
-
if you discover they do ship to the US please let me know.. there are a couple things I have been wanting from there but have never been able to figure out a definitive answer either

Oh thx Z
Lorenzsaputra as a 'rule' i would say that you get more pronounced combs and whiskers out of a jeans the thighter the jeans fit. But in the end its your individual lifestyle giving the touch to it.
thanks for the info and advice, D!

since i have a feeling that the whole "the whole30" thing is a pretty active task during the last few weeks/months and since some guys already living after it and others still think to finally start trying it…what do you guys think of a dedicated thread especially for this particular way of living?
would be interesting to have all the info on one place imo...not sure how others think, still thought i should give it a go!

Seems like that would be appropriate for the Fitness & Health thread. But if others want a specific thread, go ahead and start it up, Finn.
