PHOTOALBUM (:

HI! this is what the bored and jobless do at home. alright actually this was conceived during the stressed old days in october, with sm at the Benches in the Trenches. :) we were thinking if all of us were dogs, what dogs would we be.
yup, so, taking a break from being housewifely (more like odd-job labouring lahs!) i decided to go compile and dump it on our blog. i waded through seas of info and found all these... at the same site! am i efficient or what. ^_^

SO... FIRST UP, WE HAVE
MINDY LEOW


LOOKS LIKE RIGHT
SHIH TZU
show-dog! and rich ppl's dog. need i say more. :D

Character: The Shih Tzu is an independent breed that is intelligent, lovable, affectionate, sociable, and cheerful. It is not as outgoing as most breeds (raises eyebrows). It seldom barks.

Temperament: This dog always behaves with dignity (queen mindy!), and gets along with other household pets and children.

Training: This breed's somewhat obstinate nature makes consistency (heehee) essential in the training process.

OK. NOW CHITENG (this seems to be turning out to be in order of height. so shumin... heh heh)
AS...

SAINT BERNARD
big friendly giant! saint bernards save ppl freezing in the snow, like ct saves us from capping in a k. :D

Character: The St. Bernard is very friendly, good-natured (YES!), and excellent with children. It will defend you and your possessions and is intensely loyal.

Temperament: Children, other dogs, and household pets are all friends to the St. Bernard.

Training: Because they grow to such large size, young St. Bernards need to be taught not to pull on the leash. They must not be pushed too hard and require considerable understanding.

OK, SINCE THIS IS IN ORDER OF HEIGHT...

AFGHAN HOUND
i know, i know... looks scary right. believe me, this is not the worse. this dog looks so human sometimes it freaks me out. oh but it holds itself so majestically! rara's not really pretty (ok i know someone *coughs* who would deny it) but she's striking, and makes you stare. and the Ice Maiden factor. sm has some cheem chinese phrase for it, but er. anyway, you go, girlfriend! man, being a guy is so much funner. :)

Character: This dog is calm indoors, but fast and active outdoors. It is very proud, noble and intelligent.

Temperament: Males are often very dominant toward other males. Afghan Hounds are tolerant of children, provided they are not constantly pestered.

Training: Its independence makes training somewhat of a challenge. No Afghan Hound is ever completely obedient.

KK... SINCE HUIYING INSISTS SHE'S A TALL GIRL TOO... ;)

AMERICAN BULLDOG
aah, k push blame! this is from hy's favourite bus partner, sm! :p but yeah, cos she has sha1 qi4! looks scary, but when you get to know her, she's just another little girl, obsessed with old, old men AND with watching the same old, old men on vcd! but you're strong and scary still, when you're angry!

Character: The American Bulldog is powerful, confident, and agile. It is naturally alert, inquisitive and fearless.

Temperament: This breed is affectionate toward children, if taught how to properly behave around them. It can be somewhat standoffish or aggressive around strangers. Because they were originally bred to bring down bulls and other livestock, the instinct to be aggressive (haha lp wld agree?) with other animals is strong. Proper socialization is key.

Training: Training should begin as early in the American Bulldog's life as possible. It retains what it learns for a very long time.

HMM, K NOW WHO? K LAHS, I THINK MY GRANDDAUGHTER LEEPENG!

SIBERIAN HUSKY
actually i wanted to put sausage-dog, cos when i see one i just feel like laughing! :D but i couldn't find a dog sausage-y enough. heehee. the husky was supposed to be for ps (cos she likes to act cool. :p) but i found this description much more apt for lp.

Character: This dog wants to be everyone's friend, a fact that makes it a less-than-ideal watchdog. Huskies love to wander, and they are full of energy and independent.

Temperament: This dog gets along well with other Huskies, but needs to be trained carefully in order to interact with other household pets. It will not get along with cats or other small animals. Huskies have no problem with children. It is wise to have more than one Husky because they have a very hard time being left alone.

Training: Huskies will only obey commands that seem to have a point. They are very independent-minded, so handlers need to have a good understanding of their nature and considerable patience.

OK, NOW FOR MEI NU MICHELLEY!

COLLIE
i like this pic. there's a quiet regality to the collie, which reminds me of mich. she's our mediator and peace-maker, so when she's pissed at someone... the person must be incorrigible, man. the collie's a working dog, and runs a lot, like mich the energiser battery!

Character: The Collie is mild-mannered, gentle, and eager to work. Occasionally it can be a bit stubborn.

Temperament: This breed is good with children, and if properly socialized it gets along well with other household pets.

Training: Collies are sensitive to the tone of the trainer's voice, so best results are achieved through positive reinforcement.

ALRIGHT, BEFORE PEISHAN STARTS POUTING ABOUT BEING RELEGATED TO THE SHORTIES SECTION...


THE STANCE!

PIT BULL TERRIER
erm, i think you need a license in singapore to own this dog, cos it's dangerous. :D but hey, the stance looks like right. ah shan's always so prickly, and prone to violence (right, mindy?!) but we know, like a roasted marshmallow inside. same colour summore! hahahah

Character: This dog is loyal, tough on itself (!!!), and tenacious. It makes a good watchdog, has lots of stamina, and can be domineering over other dogs.

Temperament: Provided proper socialization has taken place, this breed gets along fine with cats or other household pets. It makes a good family dog as long as the family can handle its boisterousness. It will protect your home, and it may be eager to fight other dogs.

OH I'M GOING CROSS EYED... NEXT, JASMIN

CHINESE CRESTED
wow, this is the most unbelievable dog i've ever seen; it's as startling as jas' scary outbursts!plus it shares jas' wayang make-up ritual before trainings, after which she'll sweat milk. :D

Character: Although cautious of people they do not know, they are playful, sensitive, and high-spirited.

Temperament: This dog gets along well with children (provided they do not disturb it in its own territory), other dogs, and any household pets.

Care: The skin must be cared for with lotion and exfoliating creams. The hairless variety must kept out of the sun or protected by sunscreen. The Powder Puff must be brushed occasionally and washed often.

Training: The Chinese Crested's intelligence makes it easy to train.

ALLLRIGHT, NOW FOR MY INDEFATIGUABLE PARTNER, TSIN LI!

SILKY TERRIER
i think it's the eyes. but i rmb when cindy 1st became QM, she was super hyper and wldnt stop running all over the place during trngs (mbe tt's when her running became so zai :D). yup. i once had a silky terrier (for 3 days) and it behaved just like that. hahaha

Character: This dog is upbeat, lively, intelligent, loyal, and surprisingly protective.

Temperament: Silky Terriers need to get used to cats when young to avoid chasing them later on. Normally they are very affectionate with children. They will bark when visitors arrive.

Training: The intelligence of this breed makes training fairly easy.

OK... NOW FOR THE INCARCERATED VANESSA WHO(YAY!) WILL BE RELEASED ON PAROLE TMR...

JACK RUSSELL TERRIER
the mask's dog! small, wiry, hyperactive and strong! and our dear vanny will be even stronger after army!

Character: This breed is perky, loving, energetic and fearless. Enjoys playing with toys. Intelligent. Can be willful.

Temperament: This breed can be aggressive toward other dogs. Need to be socialized at an early age. Generally kind to children. Children need to be taught not to tease or strike the dog.

Training: Can be somewhat difficult to train. Best if trained by firm, experienced trainer.

LAST, BUT NOT LEAST (OTHER THAN IN TERMS OF SIZE)... SHUMIN!

CHIHUAHUA
one kick sure die! hahaha... kidding! but hey, chihuahuas are qt scary too... like hy's girlgirl. :p the description's qt accurate too. being small has its advantages too, which mandy exploits to the fullest! :)

Character: These dogs are intelligent and sometimes too brave for their own good. They usually bond with only one person.

Temperament: Living with other dogs and cats is usually not a problem. Small children may regard the dog as a toy.

Training: Although they are usually not trained because of their small size,(hahaha. creatine girl!) Chihuahuas are eager to learn.
