Hmm, let's see if the image tags work with that.

Yes, they do. To use them, simply put the URL of your image (usually ends with .jpg or .png, or perhaps some other image format) inside image tags like so:
[img]image URL here[/img]It's possible that your browser's cache will display the image in a post even though you didn't use the tags, but all the rest of the internet sees is the URL.

Yes Recusant, I've got it now. . . Thanks. ;D
Quite a few years ago I created the three websites and I also had a very popular forum.
But over these past 4 or 5 years I'm forgetting many things I used to remember with ease. I'm forgetting friend names who I have know for many years. I will meet someone on the shopping precinct. I will recognise his face, I went to school with him!
He will greet my by name, but I'm dammed if I can remember his. Its so embarrassing and frustrating :'(
Those two look like Brittany Spaniels RC.

Megan, at the back, is a Welsh Springer Spaniel. She is 2 and a half years old.
Nuno, at the front is my eldest daughters Cocker Spaniel. He is 9 months old. . . Woof! Woof!
I m pleased to learn that we have another "Dog Guy" in our midst. Observe that I capitalized the description as is proper for legitimate dog people.

Five photos of our beautiful Kai, out first Welsh Springer Spaniel. Born:- 27th. Nov. 2001, and sadly passed away on 25th. Feb. 2017. My wife, two daughters and I will always cherish his time with us. We loved him more than relatives, friends, and anyone else on earth.

The links aren't working. :(
It's possible they are not valid image links. A tip: right-click on the image, then click on 'Copy Image Location' and paste that url. It should work fine then. :thumbsup:

Kai is indeed a beautiful dog. I especially like the last pic with the expressive eyes, quietly watching his human.
Reminds me of my dog that we had to euthanise about two years ago. :( Kyra (pronounced Kai-rah, not Kira) was a German Shepherd dog, very clever, who also had very expressive eyes that seemed like they were very tuned into my thoughts. I miss her very much.

This is my favourite pic of her:

Kyra does indeed have beautiful eyes SP, :smilenod: and the German Shepherd has always been a breed I love. In my youth I knew this as the Alsatian, The breed was officially known as the Alsatian in the UK from after the First World War until 1977 when its name was changed back to German Shepherd. I have a copy of the 1945 edition of "The Observers Book of Dogs" which shows the GS like this>

But here is the of "Best of Breed", at Crufts 2014, for the fourth time. Note the downward slope of the hindquarters. This is deliberately bred by the dog breeders. To me, it looks wrong, but the hierarchy at Crufts say this is correct.
(https://i.ibb.co/TY6XY5y/maxresdefault.jpg)
When I phoned the dog breeder to get Megan he invited me to come and see the new litter of 6, of which I could choose from 2, a dog, and the only bitch in the litter, Megan. He said on the phone that if he deemed I was not worthy to become the owner of a Welsh Springer Spaniel, I would not get one!
He appeared to me to be "very full of himself." In the 3 rooms I went in, shelves were adorned with silver cups, the walls displayed award certificates and a whole plethora of various coloured rosettes. But there were no pictures of dogs. On my second visit to collect Megan I took my two daughters with me. They both agreed that he was overbearing, arrogant and vain, and he proudly stated that his dog breeding business was his soul source of income which was very lucrative. My daughters surmised it was a "Puppy Farm!" :wtf:

I only had that one GSD but I fell in love with the breed. She was a great dog: intelligent and easily trainable, loyal, independent, sociable but at the same time protective. When I have a house with lots of space I'm going to get a couple -- one black and the other white. :grin:
Probably going to name them Yin and Yang. :couchhide:
Ok, probably not. ;D
Anyway, as far as I know, GSD with a greater downward slope of the hindquarters are more of the German variety, whereas the more natural-looking hindquarters are American. I prefer the latter, and think the former borders on cruel deformity.
When my girl died she was suffering from hip dysplasia, very common in the breed. She was more like the straight-backed dog in the first pic you posted, and even so had hip problems and lost all movement of her hind legs due to nerve issues, also common in the breed. I imagine those with the sloping back must suffer from those even more.

:wtf: I would guess that guy is overcompensating for something.
Puppy farms are a sad reality. :( Every now and then we hear something about raids on puppy farms in the news.

There was a documentary on Youtube a while back, called 'Pedigree Dogs Exposed', on that very topic. I can't find it now (they must have taken it offline). :(
F-
See me after class.
