A hundred pound Dobie keeps the conversation very pleasant,even when the subject is not,She earned her keep,that's for sure. And buy the way ,their great dogs around the family also,Ive owned one all my 56 years on this earth and never had a problem and would never be without one,but there not for beginners.

I've wanted a Dobbie since I was little. We've had a chow chow, jack russel, huskie, and a dachshund so far and the chow was defiantly the best.

My Father had a Chow as a yard dog,not to be trifeled with,good guard dogs,But I dont know them well enough to trust them with kids,Ive found that female dobies are very protective of children,and very trutworthy,and the scare the heck out of anyone that dosent know them...lol

I had a mutt of a chow German-Shepard Sharpe(spelling?) mix, great dog, really really strong jaw very protective over the family kids. Cracked rawhide like they were nothing. My dream "dog" is a pure bred grey wolf though. originally from Denver and lived in evergreen for about 6 years. saw one in the home depot fairly often that was as tame as any Golden Retriever, been in love ever since. Problem is SWMBO seems to frown on that(can't seem to figure out why).....So failing to get one of those, as soon as I get a bit of land I want a Mastiff-Irish wolf hound mix. Dont think that I will have any problems with would be thieves if I have either

It was great with me. It was about 6 or 7 when I was born and used to beat my parents to my crib when I'd cry. It was always extremely protective of me and my mother. It died when I was about 9 on our porch where it always waited for me to cone home after school. The only fault I remember was it can be a little too protective with people it doesn't know and if they don't like someone they will try and take a chunk out of them every chance they get till their dieing day.

I bought an Ek knife in early 70; it still holds up well after regular outdoor use. Mine has a single sharpened edge and paracord grip. It was quite popular in the Corps back then. Even more so with Marine aircrews.

I heard that new management started making the blades from thicker stock around 1986.

Her are some pictures of my knives
Up first are my busse gladius 15inch blade 8inch grip. These things are beasts. After that we have the cgfbm of combat grade fusion battle mistress 10 inch blade ,in two different scale colours , the following pic is of a prototype boss jack 6.5 inch blade. I have two this one with choil and one without. . These knives can take. Serious beating plus Having a fantastic warranty behind them. You can't go wrong.

nice blades.

Looks like you really fell in love with those busse knives!

Which one do you use the most?

Just a word owarning,as my father had a big heart and we always had between 5-12 dogs in the yard (a chemical plant),unless you know the temperment of ANY breed you cant forget they are animals-A perfect example is that a second cousin called me to help him out picking a Shar-Pei,I told him I could pick out a good physcal example but knew nothing about the breed,as a resultI told him to do some homework,he didnt. (the reason he asked me is because I trained with Warren Ekstien-google him he was the man before the dog wisperer) anyway he didnt and as a result his two and a half year old had her nose and lip bitten off. One last thing though,I love the idea of having a Wolf also ,but the breeders who sell them Will tell you they are not to be around small children! That you can also look up,but dont but any breed you dont know and if you arent an experanced dog trainer ,find one and skip the first two you find,there are a lot of hacks out there so do your homework on them also.

Grizzley1's advice is good. I wish more dog owners would become experts on their chosen breed before going out and buying one. Learning how to train a dog in theory first and then putting it to daily use when they get the little critter. Picking a smart dog may also lead to training issues...Especially if the animal is smarter than you, the owner. Smarter doesn't mean more trainable, it means more trouble usually.
Most definately learn the main charictaristics of any breed you have an interest in, to see if it would suit the sort of person you are and the sort of family you have.
My next dog choice for me and my family will be Rhodesian Ridgeback. That Jack Russell over to the left there is a one man dog only because my wife refuses to take instruction from me on his handling. The moment I leave the house, he rules the roost. She hates it and just puts him out in the back yard by himself, and usually without anything to play with, to hide the problem, then wonders why she finds her laundry all over the ground and moon-craters appearing here and there.
Now back to knives...Maybe we should start a dog lovers thread or something too....

Well , the gladii? Are actually for my son tiberous , thougt i would buy them now as they will only become super expensive and rare by the time he is 18 he is 4 now.

The battle mistress are my wing chung knives so no real use just practice forms with them but i will use the hell out of one of them next time in the woods.

My boss jacks i carry sometimes but what gets the most use and is my edc is a knife called rodent solution made by swamp rat knife works it has a three inch blade and is just easier and lighter to carry.

Ya busse is a nice company but there are others i want to try such as falkniven and i have an interest in some of the custom makers just have to watch the cc or the wife will cut em off.

Peace.
