Well there you have it.. I am Gary, the one who started this website in 2000. It has seen some mutations from a photo-gallery only using photopost software, to a forum using phpbb, Simple Machines, then a CMS using PHPnuke, to a CMs using e107, Boonex Dolphin and now you have its latest incarnation in the form of a social networking community site powered by UNA Community Builder. Through all this time I have tried to maintain impartiality towards the members and their views and gave reasonable freedoms to those who want to post and share their knowledge.

The breed profiles can be found in the Articles section in the appropriately named categories. The vast majority of the profiles were written by Wolf a former member and administrator.

I am the one to contact if you have any questions or concerns about this site. If you have any dog questions please post them in the appropriate forums of write a blog about it.

I wrote all this stuff here so that other members can see that they can write a description also... What are you waiting for.. get your description updated... Welcome!

Treat Training - Does It Really Work?

I got an article popped up in my news search robot today and in reading through it, it seems that the author was on a rant about another author who wrote about "treat training doesn't work". So I did a quick search and found what may be the article and read that also. What bothered me about the criticism the most is that the author seem to challenge assertations of the original article because the credentials of the author and references were not provided. I do not believe the credentials and references are any basis for refuting the the validity of the article. That should be done with counter points to the positions proposed by the original author. If I wanted to know about the use of dogs to hunt Racoons, I would take the word of a Cajun Coon Hunter (who may also be a vet) :) rather than a vet or some peer reviewed papers. What are your thoughts.

Molossus Myth and Other Mastiff Malarky

Has anyone else read this article about the Molossers? I am curious about your take on the author's claims. I believe that any author can always find support for their position if they are so inclined. What gets me though is how passionate some are about their interpretation of a certain period in history where records are scarce and printed works are the interpretation of the authors of the time when there was a certain romantic flair to story telling. I often wonder how much of what is written about dogs from the B.C. period are romantic stories, half truths, or actual unbiased account of the events of that era. I cannot post from the article here because it is protected by the authors copyright but I am curious as to your opinion of the authors claims.
