There was a guy claiming to be a member of Mensa... maybe it was one of her dogs...

Guess this must be one of those areas where it's different here from there. We have three types of bull terriors.

Standard - as per Vals post

Staffordshire - as per the genius bulldogs (see page one of this mess)

Pit - Not absolutely sure but I think they are originally a cross between standard and another breed, maybe a rottweiler ????

We think of bulldogs as those typically British jobs, all scrunched up face and slobber. Amicable critters however, someone here has one or two of them, CD ?? BF ??

Yes, IMHO, Bull Terriers, regardless of the breed, aren't BullDogs... which are the wrinkly guys...with the flat pushed in faces. Anyone who thinks one of these:

is one of these...

has some problems. Her bulldogs may be geniuses...but...

Some things just don't seem complete. Genius dogs sail the seven seas, this is first rate news. Who would not read that book or see that movie.

And no we did take that dog sailing again, again, and again. She sailed until she died. Then we lived as it should be, family on boat sans dog.

Yep. I got one too. I named her Giu. She is a tough guy on the inside, a girl on the outside.

Here is our other one. Good old fella. Been almost everywhere with us on a boat, and knows boating better than most people. I named him Cam. He can still lick his balls, but just can't remember where he left them.

THis ugly, mangy mutt is not mine, but seems to follow me everywhere I go. I will say that he has some amazing skills, though: he can type on a keyboard and get on the internet. I didn't name him, but he calls himself Sailaway. Word has it that he was sexually abused by a cat when he was a puppy, but I can't be sure and quite frankly, I don't ask.

I got a picture of this one while up in the northeast. It was sailing on a trimaran. Calls himself sailingdog, but I don't know... looks like a cat to me. Then again, he called his trimaran a sailboat, so what do you expect??

This one is Chuckles... does kinda make you want to laugh, doesn't he?

This one calls himself a Wombat, I call him a Coon. Maybe when you shave them they are a WaCoon?

This one is the mascot at a firestation. Poor fellar, none of the females will mate with him - they just make fun of him. The boys in San Francisco love him, though... even call him best friend.

Can't forget DJEvans... I heard she wants to start writing sleezy romance novels and has been dressing the part...

... and finally, we have... well, if you don't know who this perverted oinker is, you just have not spent enough time on sailnet...

You know, sometimes I just feel like I am the only normal one on sailnet.

- CD

PS IF anyone else feels left out, just let me know and I will post a pic of you too.
