Hmmm.... I had a cat who was a slut... lol... Her first litter was fathered by two different cats... that we owned... We no longer have the males, they were destructive... but they went to good homes... and Shadow (the Slut cat/mom) had two more litters after the first... but with her son... (we had to wait till we could get Tommy to the vet to get him fixed...) and She had Kronk (the two other kittens of that litter passed due to fading kitten syndrom... could happen to any new born kitties) and the last litter she had two surviving kittens...

I plan on getting a pup like this! I wish he were mine... I'd have one if we didn't have two dogs and 4 cats... I get enough entertainment out of the cats!

Kitties: Joe (my sisters cat), Ozzie "Capone" Osbourne (my kitty) Salem (Sisters cat), Kronk (Brother-in-law to bes' cat)

Dogs: Gavin (moms dog), Tequila (who thinks she's my dog! More like my sisters but I love her anyways. lol)

I have all the animals I have owned spayed or neutered. It keeps over population down.

My family had 2 different samoyed dogs when I was growing up. Loved them for their fierce loyalty to one family. The males can be much prettier than the females but they are fantastic with babies and little kids. Just wish that I could afford one, but with 2 poms, a mini doxie and a cat, just not the right time. (especially financially right now.)

Hope that this helps if anyone is looking for a new dog. :D

Friends of my parents had a Samoyed. All white fluff! They are cute.

Sure is a pretty dog! Love the white puppy fur, but they are still pretty as adults when they are not quite as fluffy. My family had one after I left home! The boys called him "Hey Dog" because that is what he answered to!

Rath, they are prone to massive shedding and it's a very fine hair almost like fur and it gets in your nose when you brush them. I brushed mine and saved the 'fur' and gave it to a lady that wove[sp] it for sweaters. So soft! I raised them and used to give the kids in the neighborhood sled rides behind them. They are wonderful animals and I loved them all but not good house dogs.

We took Tommy and Kronk to be fixed at the same time...

When we had JJ and Sleepy, we were in that financial bind point... And then I brought Shadow home... and my friend told me she was boy... So... when she was knocked up I called her and said... "Ummm, remember that cat you gave me... yeah... she is approximately 3 or 4 weeks pregnant." lol

We now have two kittens, Ozzie and Salem, to be fixed, but they just reached that age. My brother in law to be's brother gave them to us cause he was going to just have them put down... we've had them since they were about 5 weeks old. We also had their sisters but they now live with Joeys cousin. (Joey is my sisters boyfriend... Joes run rampant in her life! lol)

I'm used to the shedding... we have the cats... plus we used to have a chow chow... he didn't shed... he malted. I may change my mind when I get to that point though...

too funny! At Farm and Home Supply (illinois) you can actually buy a DNA kit for $50. You take a sample and send it off. They test it and tell you what breed/breeds your dog it! How cool! Never done it, our dogs or part mutt and part mutt.
