Oh then that means it's the regular PPV time slots. It's currently 11:45am UK time.
I love NATGEO segments on animals. Any interesting docs you've seen recently. I love the ones on the Serengeti; crocs, lions vs hyenas, and hippos. I checked out one on the Amazon. It's mind boggling how large the Amazon forest is.
What to eat for breakfast...

Your dog is beatuiful Kry. What breed? I am really hoping I see some Thai Ridgebacks before I come home, they are in my top 10 breeds.

However, 7 months ago I saw ONE fox in the exact same place I saw the 3 playing today. So I think he's found a mate and the cubs in the woods are theirs. I really hope so because I adore foxes as well, such beautiful creatures. Fox hunting is ******* disgusting, I hate those vile toff wankers.
So proud of my boy as well, he was offlead and has SUCH a huge prey drive (not aggression, just chase instinct being a Sighthound) but he stayed and watched the cubs as they bolted. I doubt he'd hurt them when he caught them but I'd hate for them to get so scared they kept running and didn't get back to their parents.
Man I'd love to see deer in the wild, that must of been so awesome

Yeah it was pretty sweet. Seen deer quite a few times around here. Theres a lot of woods in and around Lincoln so if you're lucky you might get a sighting. The most deer I saw was in Sherwood Forest near Nottingham. Bloody loads of them. The best are the stags. Huge creatures with massive horns. It was snowing when I went to Sherwood Forrest to which only added to the beauty.
Oh, and to any newbies reading this. Yes we are all actually mma loving alpha males, we just admire the beauty of animals too.

Thanks man! He's a Lurcher. A varied yet specific type of crossbreed. Any Sighthound breed crossed with (normally) a working breed like a Collie or a type of Terrier. My boy is a Whippet cross Bedlington Terrier cross Deerhound. Bit of a mix!
Man Thai Ridgebacks...I'd never even heard of that breed, only knowing the Rodegians. The Thai Ridgebacks are striking. Do they have the same endurance as the Rodegian? That breed is so damn impressive.

They are truly awesome dogs, I would say that the Thai and the Phuo Quoq Ridgebacks are both at the very least on par with the Rhodesian. Thai and Viet Ridgebacks don't shed, they live longer and are easier to train. They aren't overly sociable with other dogs though and you can't keep them off lead cos they will catch and kill anything it finds.
My other favourites are Dogo Argentino, Karelian Bear Dog, Belgian Malinois, Border Collie and Aussie Sheepdog but I love them all. My dog is a Cavalier X Poodle, he's so intelligent and well behaved.

St Bernards are awesome but they aren't very practical. You nee to spend a lot of time grooming and they slobber all over the place.Your house will be covered in dog hair and saliva. Also most dogs with wrinkly faces have skin problems like the Neo Mastiff. Dysplasia is always a risk in very large breeds aswell.

And coldish climates as well as a crapload of land to run around on. Not your average dog that - my dad had one... Was awesome (Glad I didn't have to take care of him though)
I hit it off very well with my English Bulldog - we were equally lazy and up there in the fart-department
