humboldt505 Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 this may not be enough info but, i saw a very small breed dog on television (the sharon osbourne show) and it looks like a tiny teddy bear. I think it was light brown and maybe some white. I have seen this breed before but can't figure out what it is? maybe someone else saw the dog and knows. The dog on the show was a puppy and i think it's name started w/ an L. Maybe Lucy. The dog has meduim legnth slightly curly hair. I thinks it's face was relativly flat as well. it's driving me nuts.

Guest Anonymous Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Maybe try looking up on Google their dogs..I know for a fact there are sites out there dedicated just to their dogs and their dookies! LOL So you should be able to find a picture or information about the dogs. Quote
Sanvean Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Hmmm...usually the one Sharon always has with her is Minnie, the Pomeranian. But maybe Maggie is the one you mean. She's a Japanese Chin: http://www.mtv.com/onair/osbournes/pets.jhtml?pName=maggie Chins are nice little dogs...super cute and very cat-like. Quote
julie45 Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 :o :o Now you have got me going mad trying to remember which one it is and what breed hope some one finds out and tells us all :P :P :P :-? :-? :-? Quote
abker17 Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Hmmm....... :hmmmm: I've watched the show on numerous occasions, the only dog I can think it might be is their Japenese Chin, but I'm sure it would say on their webpage........ :-? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 It's a Caviler (sp?) King Charles Spaniel. My parents want one now, so I looked up a bunch of info on them for them to read :wink: At leats I think that's it... was it David Arquette's (sp?) dog? Quote
atghylin Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 It's a Caviler (sp?) King Charles Spaniel. My parents want one now, so I looked up a bunch of info on them for them to read Don't forget to warn them about the Cavalier's cost. Felix, my Tri-colored Cavalier, cost me $1200. I got an excellent deal on him, he's IKC registered and I could have easily paid up $2000 -$3000 for him but he was 6 months old and the breeder wanted to find him a new home. The Cavalier is a not a highly sought after breed hence the high price. I have also noticed that owners and breeders of the Cavailer are extremely proud of this dog and rarely let them go for a reasonable purebred price. I looked for almost 5 years before I found a breeder who would let me have a puppy. The main reason behind this... I have small children under at least 6/7 years of age (Kristopher is only 4 and Kurtis will be a year in 3 weeks). During the five years that I kept looking for a puppy to call my own I watched the price of a Cavalier pup go from $800 for an unregistered pet quality pup to $1500 for the same pup. Despite this pride of place, high price, and high standard for new owners there are still puppy farms for this dog. A good site to look at as far as finding a reputable breeder is www.ckcsc.org They have a list of quality breeders and black list breeders (breeders who have been members of their club but have breed the CKCS in a puppy farm environment). None of these breeders would let me have a puppy, I had to find one that was not a member but also had a high standard for his/her puppies (not an easy task). I do not belong to this club as I do not agree with their restriction on small children in the home. But they do have an excellent source of information. :oops: Sorry about the overload of information but this is my breed and I can't resist giving no information out if I can help it. :oops: If you or your parents have questions I'll be more then happy to try to answer them for you.

Sanvean Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Cavs are great dogs, but there is also a congenital heart defect that runs in the breed. That (and the fact that DH is allergic to most dogs) was what led me to avoid the breed. Are you sure that is what the Osbournes have, though? I've never noticed that any of their dogs resembles a Cav. Quote
humboldt505 Posted October 11, 2003 Author Posted October 11, 2003 no, it's not the chin....its a brand new puppy, it was never on the familys show, just sharons. thanks for the help. i have tried looking online but can't find this dog..i think it's too recent maybe Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 It wasn't on the Osbourns show, just Sharrons, and it wasn't her dog, it was David Arquiettes (if that's the episode humboldt saw). Thanks for the info atghylin, I'm not sure my parents want one anymore. My dad said we can't afford one more mouth to feed, however Angel's leaving in December, so he said he'd think about it. But I did find they had some health problems, and I'd hate for the pup to develop some :-? Plus the price thing, if we can't afford one more mouth, I'm sure we couldn't afford the high price... and I don't want my parents buying from a puppy farm :-? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 I doubt this very much but is wasnt Lulu was it? Do you remember what guests were on the show. My roomate watchs the show a lot and might remember..but only from what guest she had on that day. Quote
atghylin Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 I know about the heart defect... it's known as MVD. Don't ask me to spell it, I can only say it and not that well. It's not exactly a heart defect but a defect in the main valve to the heart. I've read many accounts on it. It was a deciding facter in buying Felix. Most of the reports I've read from owners who had to deal with this problem though had one thing in common... the life span of the dog. A dog with MVD could live out it's entire life without any sever problems or it could die early from it. There is a 50/50 chance of either once the problem has been diagnosed. There are breeders that work hard to prevent this defect and there are breeders who do not. Those that do will not breed a dog or bitch once a diagnoses has been made. Those that do not contiune to breed after the diagnoses. :( I'm in the camp of the former. I do plan to breed Felix but ONLY if he remains healthy and if he can prove himself in the show and agility rings. Should he be diagnosed he will be nuetered promtly and any one who has puppies from his line or I had worked with to concieve a litter will be notified imediately! No exceptions! Quote
humboldt505 Posted October 12, 2003 Author Posted October 12, 2003 no, i don't think it was lulu. I actualy wrote the show to ask aso maybe i will get a responce. if i do i will share w/ everyone. thanks so much Quote
