Are you planning on doing a dachshund coin at all? The dachshund is on the list. We're not quite sure what timescale we will be producing different breeds on or which order they will come in.

+sweetlife Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 If you decide to do a Golden Retreiver and a Yorkshire Terrier, and a German Shepard, we would VERY interested in purchasing some. We are huge dog lovers and have lost some dogs in the past and have a pet cementary in the back yeard with crosses for the dogs and a nice flag, there is a day that doesnt go by that we dont see this or remember our beloved pets. Very cool idea for a series of geocoins. Quote Link to comment

What a lot of breed suggestions There doesn't seem to be any clear leader as yet. We have a selection of the Adelines paintings to choose from, some of them fit quite well on coins and some breeds will need repainting. We'll pick a new breed for the next coin once we've shifted enough of these to avoid breaking the bank. We also have a new series at the sample stage and maybe another HATW horse to launch before the next dog coin, Adelines creative excesses are outrunning our bank balance at present As for the colour of this Labrador Adeline says it's Labrador coloured I guess it's influenced by our old Meg who was a rescue dog and a bit of a character, which made her colour largely irrelevent. It's either golden or yellow, I'm not sure of the true distinction between the two and I guess it's largely in the eye of the beholder. regards Tim Quote Link to comment
ELTADA Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Well, I have to ALSO vote for a springer spaniel...right LadyBee4T?? Quote Link to comment

+Lorri-Ann & Kev Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hope you dont mind me asking but will there be an icon for the coin in the future ? Quote Link to comment
+uktim Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hope you dont mind me asking but will there be an icon for the coin in the future ? Most of our coins are part of a series we don't plan on giving each coin an icon but we are hoping to get icons up for each series eventually. At present Adeline is having a better time gaining inspiration for coins than she is for icons! Quote Link to comment
+Cheesy pigs Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 will there be a schnauzer in the future? Or a border collie? Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Sorry, but I can't help thinking this would be so much better with a caching team name on it, rather than just be another generic coin. I really can't see the point of bringing out dog and horse breeds for the sake of it ... needs a link to caching or a cacher in my book. Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Just ordered a gold one this morning. My Yellow Lab Max would have loved it this coin. Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 My current geo-dog is a Belgian Malinois named Pepper. She is really smart and very energetic. Pepper... Spring Fever Pepper... Summertime Cooldown Pepper... Early Winter Frolic Quote Link to comment
+The 4 F's Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Even though mine is really smalll (5.5 lbs), we sometimes take her caching with us...I'd love a poodle version of the coin! Quote Link to comment
