This will be bad news for my little Willy...does that mean he can't play cricket for Yorkshire any more ?

[Old_Geezer]

They may have a good sense of smell but I doubt a dog can trace their origins further back than their owners' home :-)

I'm not surprised that they came over from Asia - they are eaten over there.

Do you have any pics of Willy?

[Baldric]

Wolf, be careful what you ask for!
;o)

[SirOracle]

You could be banned for a question like that Wolf.

[wolf63]

It's weird that we can't talk about a lady dog - *** - but I believe that we can talk about loads of them bitches. Willy could also be banned by the Swear Filter police.

[wolf63]

Guys - at least I didn't put 'your' in front of the hound's name.

[jim360]

Scientists can trace dogs' origins back to Asia. I doubt dogs have the inclination for genealogy.

[Baldric]

They'd rather have a good bone imo!

[Chipchopper]

The only family tree my ol dogs interested in, is the one he lifts his leg to in my back yard.

Wolfie...Willy likes to preserve his identity !

Here are some of his cousins :::

Willy looks a lot like the one in the second row, on the far right...could be twins actually !

They might let him field the balls which cross the boundary, mikey :)

[wolf63]

I imagines him to have short hair and not a long and silky looking one.

They are tenacious little animals.

What does an Asian put on when taking the dog out?

Oven gloves...

[wolf63]

nailit :-) ☺ ☺

Mikey I heard a Q&A from an Irish radio programme this morning with a vet. Somebody keeps their Yorkshire Wolfhound outside in a kennel all year. Do you think that Willy would cope with that?

[wolf63]

You could get Willy a kennel for his Xmas.

I didn't realise their noses were that sensitive.

[wolf63]

jomifl - if there is food involved dogs can sniff out anything, anywhere. I am sure that the Yorkshire Wolfhound is a true hunting breed
