| Afghan Sheepdog (hits: 3206) |
| on 16 Jun 2009 by admin | |

The Afghan Sheepdog is strong-boned, powerful and resistant to heat exhaustion and strong desert winds. Not at all mastiffy in appearance, this resilient working breed, like its cousins, seems lazy and slow. [read more] | |

Hi Tosamama,
the site was moved to a new server about a month ago. Everyting is workig fine. Only problem would be if you had the old cookie on your computer it would prevent you from loging in unless you cleared it. Cookies expire after 30 days. As far as I know you were not blocked. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Private Instant Message is back. The latest forum posts are at the top right. This method uses less database resource than the one in the center of the page. I am testing things - patience please.

I can't say, but of respect for the administration, it would seem to me that sincere recommendations should be made privately.
