Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    You were browsing potential pets to get for your kids. Or maybe reading about Deadpool.

    Nope they’re fairly obscure, it’s just I’ve noticed over the years that any pup that wins Ugliest Dog is almost invariably some kind of Chinese Crested mix!

    Recent examples: Scooter and Mr Happy Face

    But I really should add a link to Sam from 2005.

      Haha wow, that Sam!

      Is the tongue hanging out thing typical of Chinese Crested dogs? It seems to be common in “ugly” dogs.

        No I think it’s only when it goes wrong. They are meant to look more like this.

          Odd. I wonder what it is that makes these win all the ugly dog competitions.

            I have a theory there’s a recessive gene or two in there that can easily become expressed. So probably a quirk of inbreeding for that particular breed.
