Two pics in Bio, one for a dog who has died.
Otherwise, links are great.

Thanks, Connie.
All those pups are alive and healthy. If your talking about the blue pup - it is a dilution in the gene. She gives a good description about the blue gene in her FAQ,
What is 'Blue' or Dilution? Does it have associated health problems?
'Blue' or Dilution is a genetic mutation that occurs in many breeds, whereby the colour of the hair, eyes and skin are lightened. Chocolate Labs is an example of a dilution gene. In Malinois this can make Black hair, Blue (or sometimes (Liver, which we do not have in our line), the eyes usually become yellow or green and the associated skin and nails become dark grey. While we do not specifically breed to obtain this dilution it is present in our bloodline and an off coloured pup appears from time to time. From the pups that we have produced, or that have been produced from our bloodline, no associated health problems have been experienced. Blue dilution in Doberman's has had some reported illnesses, but there have been none in Wiemaraners - it appears that there are several genes that are responsible for this phenomenom, but only some of them carry health concerns, namely poor hair coat, with them.

No, Connie (who logged off, otherwise I wouldn't speak on her behalf) was explaining the forum rules regarding posting pictures.
You may post two pictures in your autobiographical thread (one must contain a picture of you), and you may post one picture of a deceased dog in a thread eulogizing it.

Welcome Robin!
I spoke to Jennifer Segal when I first adopted Luc about doing training with her. (I ultimately chose not to b/c of an article about pit bulls, but that's besides the point)
Nice to see another Torontoian! And very cool that you're learning to be a trainer!
Teagan!

Yech, no! (not that I would editorialize about the THS....) Luc was from a no-kill shelter in Quebec; he was there for 3 years and then Project Jessie pulled him out (even though they normally do kill shelters or animals at risk of being sold for research) to help the shelter out; I adopted him from them.
Teagan was from T.A.S., and Neb I adopted from a local husky rescue.
There's a few Canadians on here....and a couple of people from Toronto as well.
Teagan!
