WHAT BREED AND HOW MANY DOGS[POOCHES]!!]?

Mans best friend. How many of you Flashaholics have Dogs? What breed/how many Dog do you have?

I know for sure that I would never have purchased an LED Torch if it was not for my Siberian Husky, "Capo"! It is a necessity to have a torch for safety and navigation! I walk Capo at least 6.5 miles a day[10.46KM].Two of my night walks are on semi-Isolated dirt roads with 0 to 5 cars driving by in an Hours+ time. The other is on a hiking trail with no cars! :)

I blame Capo for turning me into a Flashaholic! I reached 20 torches in my first year! :eek:

He is my only Dog and one is enough,,,,being that I live in a Condominium!! He is a great Dog and loved by all.An Absolute "Chick Magnet"!! lol! He is VERY alert, has a very high prey drive, escape artist[!!!], agile, athletic and a great disposition!

He will be Three[3] the day after Christmas[12.26.2013/26.12.2013!] Date numerically diversified for ALL CPF members around the World! ;)


Please tell me about your pooches! No Dog is better than another. They are all special in their own way! :)


MERRY CHRISTMAS/HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!:santa:

PHOTO WAS TAKEN A FEW WEEKS AGO.THANKS TO NORM FOR HELPING ME POST IT!!!

Beautiful dog. My family had a Husky when I was young and seeing your photo reminds me of how much he enjoyed the cold of winter as opposed to the summer heat of Kentucky. On those rare occasions we would have a few inches of snow, you could look out the window and see him just sprawled out on the ground.

My current dog is a Red Heeler, a.k.a. an Australian Cattle Dog. He turns 11 years old this week but is so energetic I still almost think of him as a pup. It's hard to believe he's practically a senior citizen in dog years. His name is Bo.

One valuable lesson I have learned is to never name your dog something that rhymes with "no" :ohgeez:

We used to have a Vizsla. Now that was an energetic dog!

Biscuit is a flashaholic, too. She goes nuts when I go near my flashlights. She knows we're either going for a walk or just going to hang and compare beams or tints.

Biscuit should be immortalized in plush. One of the most beautiful dogs I've ever seen.

Biscuit is a great looking pooch!! The OP's is not too shabby either!

I would not go so far as to say immortalized!! ;)

I can only think of a handful that actually are. Ever here of "Balto" or "Togo"? :)

I said goodbye to the one in my avatar this past August - a German Shepard/Boxer mix. She was one month shy of 11 years and a big part of the family.

My current "puppy" and companion is a 10 month old Beagle rescue, he's also a big part of the family. :)

Great pictures! One reason I made sure I always had a decent light handy for many years was my black and tan dachshund. Short and dark dogs are easy to lose at night. A bright orange collar and leash on walks did help. So did a wide beam 500 lumen light (most recent acquisition). I managed to keep her weight just right, and she was very active. Just over a week ago she took her last trip to the vet. I had to say good-bye to my companion for over 16 years. This thread has been uplifting and I think there will be another dog in my future. Thanks everyone!
