Big Paws Only Dog Forums

Hi,

firstly, sorry i haven't been on in a while, iv'e been busy moving and am finally back down south, nass is as happy as i am to be close to the beach again lol

i have decided that for BPO members only i'm going to reduce the prices of my portraits, this is only for a limited time .

the regular prices are -

Small - 9” x 7” - $70

Medium - 11” x 14” - $120

Large – 19” x 22” - $220


i have reduced them to

Small - 9” x 7” - $50

Medium - 11” x 14” - $90

Large – 19” x 22” - $190

that is in Australian dollars so in American dollars they would be cheaper again.

my website has also been updated and iv'e added new portraits.

please feel free to take a look.

awwww, their both gorgeous! it's so nice to see some more pointer crosses, i'd never even seen a pointer until i saw nass, she was in a pet store and had the biggest ears and paws plus those eyes, i just had to take her home. she was quiet big too because the pet store i go to takes dogs that need homes, strays mostly and some of the pups are a bit older.

she is very smart too, she learned to sit stay and shake the first time i taught her and she will stay for ages, i can even turn around and walk away, she also low and high fives, waves and fetches stuff then brings it back to me sits and drops it at my feet, the best thing is that if she loses something i throw to her most of the time i only have to point in the right direction and tell her to find it and she does 

she has also bonded with me very well and was like a best friend from day one, i spend most of my time with her, during the day she will sit in the kitchen while i cook or lay on the couch with me or if i'm gardening she'll try to help with that...not that she really helps much lol, just makes a mess.

she is a fantastic dog, i especially love how she follows me everywhere and when i sit on the couch or lay on the bed to read she lays near me 

who said dogs are mans best friend.....lol

Great photos!�  Both your doggies look great!

Thanks!

Max isn't mine though, he's such a darling and loves nass to bits, his owner is leaving town soon which is going to be sad, nassa will miss max a lot

Max actually belonged to someone else in town before the current owner, the previous owner never spent any time with him and let her bratty kid pull his tail and throw stuff at him, he was so untrained and was a menace, he's fantastic now though and i'm so glad he has a different owner.

i think crating is an American thing because i don't know anyone who does it, iv'e never done it myself, i have never needed to.

anassa is well trained and can be left either outside or inside by herself, at night she sleeps on a huge pillow at the end of the bed and wakes us up if she needs to do her business. Then in the morning when my husband leaves for work she will hop on the end of the bed and sleep there.

i really don't understand it either and have never had any problems for not crating my dogs but each to their own.

maybe not crating is an Aussie thing lol

What do you do in Australia if you have to leave a puppy inside while you're gone?

i can't speak for everyone but iv'e always left my pups in the laundry room, it's big and there's plenty of room for play, i usually leave toys and some treats too so the pup can keep it's seld occupied, most of the time i'll take my pup with me though, i just can't stand the thought of leaving a pup alone 

most people i know just leave their pup in a room of some sort, either the laundry or a spare room

as i said, each to their own, i'm not knocking anyone who uses crates, just personally iv'e never needed to.

thanks!

i'm not sure if anassa counts because she's half pointer and half wolfhound lol but she looks like a pointer she's just a bit bigger, i don't know the average size of a pointer so i'm not completely sure but she's 70cm tall at ten months.

here's some photo'a of her, she especially loves to point at birds lol and will stand there for ages 

she's on the right obviously, the other dog is max, a lab cross rottweiler, they have been friends since she was a pup.














and one i took a few seconds ago, she's half asleep because i woke her for the photo




i hope you like them

Tulsa is German Shepard/Chow/Rotti Mix. 90 lbs,
Very Intelligent, very full of herself.
She is 3 &1/2 years old.
She has mellowed in the last 6 months, will only play with certain 'chosen' ones, and rarely leaves my side when she's off leash.
I am a proud owner of a 'mixed' breed dog.
Long Live BPO!
And thank you for the action shots of your dog.

what a lovely mix, i think she looks awesome. i'm a mix breed lover too lol, they certainly have a lot of personality 

Thanks guys 

nass had a great time and she loved playing with the crab, i was worried for her but she was so quick! lol

Wow! The size of that "Squeezer" claw was awesome. Smart DOG not to challenge!
