A bet a heartless ******* like you had her tail cut off..dident you?

Heh... that's not up to me. The pup is show quality and 4 mths old.

And you do not have to crop the ears BTW.

Of couse not.....


Schippers like to bond with one person and thats it. Skippers the best
Dog I've ever had, and perfect on the boat. They have the perfect coat
for your area. Skipper has lived aboard since he was 6 weeks old.

Well she'll be a house dog anyway so no matter.... it's not that cold here,
we had 16C here yesterday. Lots of property to run on and I'm certain she'll
be sailing next season. Thanks for the tip on bonding.... I'll make certain
she stays with my Mom for the first week or so.

Here he is last Christmas:

Whoa ... Snow in Texas??? I thought all you guys did was snort the stuff!
:-)

I'm teaching my Staffie pup to maintain tension on a sheet by using a board
with an old winch ..... she's getting really good at it. I may not need
to even have crew if I can get them to raise sail and helm! :-)

Anyway it should be a great addition to the farm. The tally here will soon
be... A Rhodesian Ridgeback, 2 Staffordshire Bull Terriers and a
Schipperke.
