Ok where are the rabbits......my 3 year old eskie loves them......he only gets the left over parts the ranch cats leave laying around.....but he comes to me with them as his prizes. So far he had come to me with a full leg, mouth full of fur, & one huge jack rabbit ear. He does catch birds on his own however......they don't even see him coming...& wham.....then I chase him all over trying to get it out of his mouth.

Spazz,
My first guinea pig when I was 16 (36 years ago) was named Wilbur.....you stole my name......lol. I had brothers...Freddy & Wilbur.

Neri, would recognize mice anywhere.....rats have longer noses.....had rats as pets too....Flower & Guss.

How interesting.....you have the American saddlebred.....I have what should have been Selle Francais. The stallion is Selle Francais, my Mare wasn't regestered Selle Francais but her breeding was Thoroughbred & Selle Francais & would have been selle Francais if they had bothered to register. Right now I have to find out what I can register my filly.

Ok.....did the conversion.....146cm = 14'3 hands (1 hand = 4 inches = 10.16cm). My 26 year old thoroughbred is 160cm. My filly at 1 year is already 146cm......(stallion is 173cm & mare is 170cm) Think I am going to have a giant (LOL) filly when she is older. Considering I am only 5'2" (158 1/2 cm) it is really a long way down.....it was a hard enough fall off my thoroughbred when he tripped we both fell. I was hoping for a large horse for dressage......the large ones look elegant in the dressage arena but oh the years of training ahead.

Aussies can be kinda vicious I guess. I had a mix (queensland healer/ aussie shepard). she was difinitely a character. Loved to dig & chew up anything she could find in the yard. We were lucky to find a home for here....but looking back wasn't the most stable home. How funny....I have the german breed. The spitz is the american eskimo here in the US. There have only been recognized by the UKC & AKC in the last 10 years. They are perimeter guard dogs (they bark at anything they think is coming too close to home & too close means parking in front of our house. Nothing like 12 Door bells. So far is has kept the break in's away from our house. I have one eskie that the breeder wants shown too. They took him & got his UKC champion on him.....but AKC is different. You have to have at least 5 dogs you are showing with in order to get a "major" & it takes 3 majors to get a champion......No one was even showing that many eskies.....so I was showing for nothing & couldn't afford that. They want him championed & am willing to send him back to them for them to do it......just not in the budget.

My oldest eskie was my main show dog....I got his UKC champion on him....& obedience with the AKC took many many tries to get it right. He would always do something else wrong to get disqualified. I loved my first "come". He ran right for me.....then right past.....over to where our other dogs were. All I could do was stand there & laugh. He definitely has his own mind.....always did....always will.

You do know Sleeps that if you sell the GP on the black market as a large mouse.....you will have to sew on a fake tail......cause they don't even have a stub. Think the squeel is also a dead give away on the GP.
