Cool link, MJ. It confirmed my suspicions about Dodger.
Tried a few different photos and they came back as Karelian Bear Dog three times and Border Collie twice. Which is exactly what I thought he was.

I've never heard of a Karelian Bear Dog before... that is crazy a dog that size going after bear! Also cool to know is that they are apparently an ancient breed of dog that have been found to have been buried with Vikings back in the day. I ****ing love dogs! ---- Ok, one last post about Louie and the fosters... until the next one. Louie is only 6 months old, thus still a puppy himself. It cracks me up to see him watching the two 6 week old foster pups playfighting and he lumbers over to join in the revelry like: But my dude is so gentle with them... |

I kid I know but honestly, these guys are about the most interesting and lovable dogs I've ever had. They're crazy as all get out but in a good way.
You'll have to forgive the diapers - two of them we got when they were 9 and 11 respectively and they had never been house trained. Can't teach an old dog new tricks. |

They are adorable! What lead you to taking on, mostly, hairless dogs? |

We had him for a couple of years when the ARL got in the two pictured. The truly hairless ones require a great deal of care - they sunburn, they freeze, etc. You have to clothe them. You have to lotion them so their skin doesn't get too dry because they don't have the same oil glands that a regular dog has. Plus these two were geriatric, not house trained, in need of a monthly prescription bill that would make your grandma blush, and so on. The ARL listed them and instantly had more interested than any dogs in the history of the shelter and they panicked. They didn't want to send special needs dogs home to just anyone, let along dogs that most people only want for the "novelty". They knew we had experience with the breed, so they asked us if we would take them. Here's a pic of all 3 of them together - the powder puff, Kuku, is on the left. Yes, all three of them are the same breed. |

Right now, we have 4 dogs, 16 or 17 cats (hard to keep track of, we did have 21 but lost a couple of the outdoor kittens over the summer), 2 cockatiels, a Russian tortoise, a red-eared slider (turtle), the axolotl, a 15G indoor fish tank, 11 layer chickens, and 4 ducks. The real tragedy is that I had a 1500G show-quality koi pond with several fish two decades old and over 25 pounds that died during the extended power outage after the derecho. They were kind of family heirlooms, purchased by my late father-in-law and we were crushed to lose them. 12 fish, close to 300 pounds total, and will cost us over $10K to replace like for like (obviously not ever going to happen). |

As far as budget, the 2 elderly hairless dogs have monthly meds totaling more than me, my wife, and my 2 kids combined.
