knines is very cool esp. the zoomed out version of it where you can see the rooster in front of the dog. Also a +1 for prairie's except for the ugly guy that keeps flashing up in the avatar!

Its a GIF file. Its really simple if you have the software to do it.
Thanks for the kind words on the avatar. I was actually going to change it the other day, then remembered I had to burn my cpu down late last winter and lost a ton of pics. I have them on memory sticks, but I didn't feel motivated enough to hunt for them.

Seriously though, there are way too many good ones for me to choose the best. I do like Ron's but I am biased. I really like prairiefire pointers' and I have always been partial to Elroy's Bandit's and even more so now that I have one of his son's.

The dog's owner should be part of the avatar. After all, it's a team effort. Of course I only say that since I'm a big ole handsome guy!

I agree! You got my vote! You even have the "best facial hair in an avatar" category covered!
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

I like your dog's tail. I think there are a lot of tails that look good out there, not just the 12 o'clock tails. I also like a low crouching setter with a low tail too, and everything in between. To me its about how the dog looks balanced overall, and intensity.Ron R wrote: The funny thing is that I always thought that his weakness/hole/flaw is his lack of style/horrible tailset .

Re: Best Avatar Pick
I have been trying to tell you. IMO, he has style and his tail carriage is fine! I actually like it better than the poker straight 12:00 tail. I have nothing against a 12:00 tail, but Chopper's just looks more natural to me. I am just happy to see that I am not alone. I think it has something to do with the era I grew up in.Thanks, I'm really blown away with the compliments on my avatar .
