Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.
Hello to all

Hello Everyone: I have been a looker for awhile now (KatieB). I have a little girl, she is just one year now, her name is Katie Jo, but, Jo is to close to NO, so we stick with Katie or Poo-Poo. She is a mix with terrier. I really was not sure what I had, but after the Vet informed me and reading all your posts, I KNOW NOW. She is a character and so-so full of energy. I have had dogs before, but, she is different. I must say, I love looking at all your pictures, and reading your stories. The ones with fuzz, foam or a dead rug in their mouths. (to funny and close to home) I think I loaded a picture, if not I will try again.

OK - Duke is a B-mix with we think a terrier - I truly believe he's got Jack in him. :eek: And yet . . . he still manages to crack me up. :p

Oh boy. You guys and your Terrier B mixes! Yipe!
My Terrier is supposed to be Boston and Rat terrier, but I'm not so sure. I'm not breed savvy enough to know if there is something else in there.

Katie is a cutie!!! She looks basenji too. Mine is a basenji/whippet mix and she resembles the basenji physically and her personality is all basenji. Welcome to the forum. This is a wonderful site, I hope you like it!
