Nice :cool: I like the looks of Coco quite a bit. Nice straight legs and has a big hip on her. If she fills out some and gets a little broader in the chest she might make a good reiner or cow horse. I show reining horses so I'm pretty partial to the compact and solid ones that can turn and stop hard. Thats why I mainly stick with quarter horses. I had a paint for awhile that had the most heart and the most willing attitude of anything I've ridden, but he was too big and clumsy to compete at the same level my other horses can.

Endurance is my thing so, naturally, Arabians are my breed of horse although I do like a good solid QH. We just recently sold Coco, she was a nice enough horse most of the time but every now and then some switch would click off in her head and she would go a little mad, act like she'd never been handled in her life. Very strange. We decided she might end up being more trouble than she was worth.

We have a Clydesdale Appaloosa cross that has grown to be a big, solid and calm boy. I'm thinking of getting a buggy and teaching him to drive.
 
I saw that picture. Intersting cross and I was surpised when I saw what he looked like. I was expecting him to look like a lot of other warm bloods I've seen.....awkward. Some of them come out with a draft horse head neck and feet on a light horse body and as nice as they are they're too clumsy to do a who lot.
He's nicely proportioned though, I was really surprised to see his feet and head and everything seemed to pretty well match his body. You should try putting a cart behind him, I bet you'll like it. We used to have a team of persherons and did all the farming stuff and everthing with them. Its great fun.
Too bad about Coco's attitude. I have had several like that. They may have all the talent in the world but they don't want to use it and its generally not worth your trouble to try and make them. No matter how good things seem to be going the attitude comes back, sometimes at the worst time possible.
 
Dogs! The good sized ones, not the little "I'm really a rodent in disguise" kind of yippee dogs. I dig horses too, but puttin' my fat butt on ones back would be cruelty to animals, so to me they're nothing but really big doggies :D .

Dogs rule...cats drool!

Jubei
 
Gamefowl

Dogs

Horses

Wild:

Rattle Snakes

Coyotes

Big Cats (Americas)


In Between:

Feral Hogs. (I'd like to try to take one with dogs and a knife.)
 
Pointers- any type, but especially German wire haired. Mine's a two year old female. More work than any dog I've had before, but definitely worth the effort.
 
1. North American Timber Wolf
2. Cairn Terriers
3. Polar Bear
4. Alsation (long haired)
5. Huskies
 
I have some small acreage here in MN and early in the 70's I acquired a female timberwolf pup and we raised her (or rather she raised us). It was quite an experience for my sons, growing up with a wolf. She lived for 14 years (a little overweight toward the end because of her fondness for pizza). I now have an 18 year-old cairn terrier. Both pretty independent characters.

Now your insulting all the animals.

Seriously I like horses. 20yrs. ago I owned two trotters and ran them at Yonkers Raceway. Beautiful animals. Made money in the beginning, but then the bills ate up all the profits.

Bulldog (if i was a dog I'd be a bulldog, not very goodlooking but strong and tough and a fighting/working dog.)

Wolf

Eagle

alligator

rattlesnake (don't tread on me)
 
I like most animals.
All canines
Dolphins (got to swim w/ some in Mexico)
Horses
Snakes (Sydney is my Brazilian Rainbow Boa)
the Big Cats
Raptors (eagles, etc)
most animals are cool

Might be easier to mention the ones I don't like.
Don't like:
Hyena's, just nasty animals
Prairie Dogs, put on this earth to be targets
Insects, are just pests
 
Bunnies. They are great housepets. They are litter trainable, intelligent, curious and fun. I have never met two with the same personality. Some are very shy, other very aggressive. They will chew things though.
