Well, since we're posting pics of our dogs, here's my golden Rainier waiting for me on the final section up Pyramid back in 2009.

My little mountaineer, Summit Dog.

Re: The 14er.com dogs
She loves the snow
Princeton
She's done 8 14ers and is starting to like backcountry skiing!
One foot in and one foot back, but it don't pay to live like that.
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks, for never to return.

We have 3 pugs who are and endless source of entertainment and who love nothing more than to snuggle up with mom and dad :D

I'd like to think Jemima has clamed a couple puggy first accents! She's been up around halfdozen summits as well as a few backpacking trips...

If only we all didn't need to carry water with us.

Buddy loves the snow, and water, and mud. Loves the mud so much, I sometimes wonder if he isn't part pig!

Re: The 14er.com dogs
I know this is an old post but we are currently working with New Hope to adopt our second cattle dog mix. The application and home inspection were no big deal at all. We got to meet the dog and spend time with him and if he doesn't work out for us then we can give him back to his foster home and work with them to find a better fit for us. New Hope so far has been really nice to work with and I don't see any issue with them.Bean wrote:"Rescues" are generally a pain in the ass, and that one looks no different.

New Hope Cattle Dog Rescue
All that being said our first dog came from the Boulder Humane Society and we love her to death. She's an amazing dog but she had an unusual amount of information for a dog at a shelter (though still not much) that led us to believe she would work out. The flip side of adopting from them was that they didn't ask much of anything and the adoption process was very quick. It was in my opinion a bit too easy to walk out with a dog.
Maya is a 2 year old cattle dog / border collie mix (at least we think) and hasn't been on a 14er or 13er yet but she will be soon. We're still in the process of training her and she's done great on hikes so far.

Re: The 14er.com dogs
Beautiful pup and good on ya for rescuing your pets rather going to a shop or breeder (some breeders are OK but there are just way too many unwanted pets to keep breeding more, IMO). While personally I don't think that it's much of a hassle to have a phone interview and home visit before getting a pet I can accept how someone might feel that way. We've been volunteers for Husky rescues for over a decade, all our dogs are rescues and always will be. Some of the dogs in rescue come from shelters, some strays, but many come from good homes and are terrific dogs. The pups that do have some behavioral issues are worked with by experienced owners, that's not to say that all rescue dogs will be right for all homes but generally you should be able to find the correct dog for your lifestyle through a good rescue organization, that's not so much the case with a shelter as they have more pressure to move dogs out of their facility (not knocking shelters, there are some great shelter out there like Charlie's Place). Mostly I'm thankful that there are people like you who rescue their pets, either from rescue organizations or shelters, and give them such a terrific home, wish we could find more active people to adopt our Huskies, Cattle dogs are terrific also and listen better than Huskies.Jon Frohlich wrote:I know this is an old post but we are currently working with New Hope to adopt our second cattle dog mix.

Re: The 14er.com dogs
Just a few pics of my hiking dog Zebulon. He is 1/2 Akita, 1/2 Boxer, and absolutely does not tire out! I'll be huffing and puffing, and he will just look at me and whimper because he wants to keep the pace going He was also a shelter dog when we got him as a puppy up in Divide, CO.
