@Sasha, I am hoping if the dog can crap properly,then it just might save its own life. May be the one's that can't crap properly make the most delicious curry!!! I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.

@Obi: LOL! Just like those mbuzis that eat thorns are sweeter than those that feed on grass eeeh! @Blackberry: Ahahahaahahaaha! Ati some guy was selling you a rottie and a GS on the street! Walalalala! An imagine someone will fall for that! Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time!

@Magigi - first - the one's MrTea refers to are Japanese Spitz - these are more of lap dogs - they are not serious 'guy dogs' as in Alsatians,labs,Dobermans,etc. They are the 'yip yip' kind you want for ornamental purposes (or the ones that you want to put in a microwave so they can shut up). Definitely not for a boy who you want to set on the 'straight' path in life. On that note,forget that Chihuahua someone has suggested as well. Go for Sasha's friend's terrier - small but feisty - more grief than a lab IHMO. Something else you SHOULD consider (and something I HAVE done) - drop in by KSPCA - they have dogs,mostly mongrels,but EVERY once in a while they have pedigree stuff from expats who are moving on to countries that do not have 'extradition treaties' for dogs i.e. serious quarantine. I've seen labs (ready trained and just needing some TLC,etc),GSD's go VERY VERY fast - as fast as Datsun 1200 pickups. Still worth a try - go on Saturday - they close at 1300hrs - if you accept to adopt - all you pay is abt 3000 and you get vaccination history,etc. I have TWO such dogs and they are GOOD dogs. Only thing is that they will grill you abt where you stay - if its flats - FORGET it. if you have a semi-detached,fenced,with a small green patch - your chances are good. Then with the remaining 27,000 you can buy dog food for abt 5 years... The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@Djinn,LMAO,So all that dog psychology I was hearing when Obama was shopping for BO is true. Growing up,we used to have a dog that when locked up it would just howl for the whole day and eat at the door,all we did was find new material to block the holes when they became too big. May be this dog was mad and we had no idea. We just thot it was being a dog. I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.

@Djinn, Impressive knowledge about dogs.How about some private lessons? BTW they are called Japanese Spitz.You train dogs as well? Patience Pays in Guaranteed Checks
