Unfortunately, I don't have any really great pictures of her, hard as we try. But these are some of the most recent that we have.

Afghan Discussions & Pictures / Re: Harry my new Affie
« on: April 03, 2005, 07:56:33 pm »
I think all Affies are different, but I can tell you that Terra is just the sweetest, mildest and loving dog. She is very tolerant of our new New Foundland puppy who likes to bite her hair and jump all over her, and she is also quite affectionate.
Affies are not "stupid", they are less biddable than most dogs. In other words, my border collie lives and breathes to please, Terra on the other hand, well, not so concerned unless there is a chewie involved!
As a matter of fact, Terra has outsmarted my border collie. If Sage (BC) has a chewie, and Terra has already inhaled hers, she strategically pretends that she wants to go out by going ALMOST to the door they go out of. Well, I'l get up to let her out, Sage drops her chewie and comes charging ahead of me and Terra to the door, Terra does a fast u-turn and grabs Sage's chewie! Dumb? I think not.

What is an Australian Afghan? I had a Desert Afghan at one time--she had a lot less hair than Terra.

Afghan Discussions & Pictures / Re: Afghan pictures - anyone?
« on: April 03, 2005, 07:48:01 pm »
Hi Michelle..when I start my grooming lessons, I'll share them with you! My understanding is that the "proper" afghan has a clean saddle, and if you want it to look natural, you don't shave it, you use this volcanic rock (which smells yucky like sulfer) to basically rub the hair in that area off. The other tip I was told is to never brush them out when their hair is dry--you should spray diluted conditioner in the area where you're preparing to brush.
Terra LOVES to be brushed out, weird dog
I need to learn how to do it properly though, because she stays matted no matter what I do it seems. Probably has plenty to do with her being outside so much.

Harry is GORGEOUS and his coat looks great too. Do you show? How do you keep his coat looking so good? My groomer (whose Dad I bought Terra from) is going to give me grooming lessons in exchange for me building him a website. Within a week after he had her her all brushed out, her entire body is covered in mats. He said he has shampoo that basically make the mats fall out, but said that her coat will still look nice. ::sigh:: Sounds too good to be true!
I will post some newer pics of Terra soon! Thanks for asking

Those whiskers are the ugliest! I think she was around 10 months in the shot.

Breeding Questions & Information / Re: How did you find your breeder?
« on: March 09, 2005, 03:49:16 pm »
That's a great question--I found my breeder through a breeder that was recommended to me by our vet. She had a litter spoken for that has not even been born yet!! The person she referred me to is on the board of the NCA, so I felt very confident about getting a puppy from her. We pick him up on Friday!!
Sorry about your bad experience, I hope at least that your puppy is healthy and so forth.

I'm so happy to have a place to talk about my affie AND my incoming newfie! I will be posting lots of pictures soon of my goofy girl Terra. Now if Border Collies were only a little bigger so there would be a forum for them too!
