We have a Rott/Shepherd mix. She prefers to be called a Shepweiler...she hates being called a Rotten Shepherd. She's so gentle around kids, except those who startle her when I pick up my grandson at school.

Not their fault, they haven't been trained on how to approach dogs. I show them how to do it, and Ziggy responds with great affection.

For some reason, she doesn't like Sikhs...lol, she barks at every man with a turban.

My Ursa was ridiculously gentle, and she was devoted to my daughter. In fact, before I went into labor, for a few weeks, Ursa started spending a lot of time in the nursery, sleeping in front of the crib. When people would come to the house, she would bolt to the nursery and take her place in front of the crib. When we brought Beatrice home, she was in guardian/clown mode with that little girl until the day she took her last breath.

The only thing Ursa did not like were grapes. She’d bark at them... and squirrels. She HATED squirrels.

Oh... and the pedo who lived in the neighborhood. She would growl upon sight. He kept his distance (and we found out later that he was on the registered list. He could rent in our community because his mother actually owned the property. Ick.)

So is Ziggy named for the cartoon character or the Bowie incarnation?
