Steam Flyer 8,437 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 6 hours ago, Willin' said: Had a buddy with a great mixed breed dog named Slainte that would chase and retrieve anything. If you quit and he wasn't ready to, he'd go out and retrieve rocks and lay them at your feet. We were walking by the Truckee River one afternoon and Slainte decided there were rocks at the bottom of the river that needed retrieving. Fucker would swim out to deep water, dive down and come up with a rock, swim ashore, put it down and repeat. Looking back, it was probably the early symptoms of whatever took him out a few years later, but not before he'd worn his fangs down to nubs. Chesapeake Bay Retrievers will do that, if rocks are the only thing they can find in the water to bring you. But generally they find other jobs before wearing their teeth down to nubs. I wonder if your buddy's dog Slainte (great name) was part Chessy. Not many dog breeds like to dive under water. - DSK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I threw a big, white rock out into the middle of the pond, where it's about 8' deep. He was too fat to get it but swam around above it with just his tail out of the water and his nose halfway to the bottom for long enough that we finally had to make him stop. He's gone now, buried by my pond, but I still see him like this in my mind. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Lada 5,127 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 A meeting of the minds. The little black cat is Charlie, a new acquisition from a feral litter. We got him about 2 months ago when he was just shy of 3 months old. He quite likes the dogs, and they like him as well. As Labs are wont to do, their tails are often wagging and Charlie likes to pounce on the moving tails. They don't seem to mind it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie Foxtrot 604 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I've had good luck using a padded, hard plastic, 8" wide collar called the BiteNot with my Sheps. It doesn't allow the dog to bend their neck. I found it works well with anything except their foot chewing. Tried it in desperation after my Big Boy weaponized his Cone of Shame, and I was continuously getting my legs bashed from behind.

boguing 32 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 This is Theo (left, mine) and his Mum Izzy (right, not mine) who I look after for holidays etc. Longish boaty story, but I couldn't take her for the first night of a holiday in November 2019 because I had to be down at the sailing clubs on the Saturday night/Sunday. Picked her up from other friends Sunday evening and thought no more of it. Fast forward to February and I get a call from Izzy's owner telling me that she's had puppies conceived that Saturday when a neighbour's Croatian Shepherd had scaled a 6ft fence to make her acquaintance.... My first mistake was arranging to go and see them, and my second was taking my daughter with me. But at least I got the pick of the whole litter. Luckily, he's a happy chap on a boat too. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course once they realized it was a Lab, they weren't afraid anymore. Who could possibly be afraid of this, no matter how loud he rumbled and roared: 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heading to dog beach with Mali’s can be tough. Sandi puts her stud either on a strong leash and he watches or the muzzle. Either way he wants in on all the action. More than a few times shouting matches ensue whenever they wander near other dogs. Hassle. Her female is fine with other dogs but, she’s got the wandering mode on ‘high’ at all times.

WhoaTed 236 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Auggie Doggie, Aus Red Border Collie. A rescue believe it or not, the sweetest boy ever but for two things: doesnt like strangers (biter) or other dogs. Two previous owners couldn’t manage the strangers issue and he was in danger of being put down due to a few incidents that had been reported. We’ve worked hard the past 2-1/2 years with him and a trainer who specializes in these issues; managing introductions to strangers makes you his best friend in about 20 seconds and you’re in his club from there onward (amazing memory for people he’s already met) but we’re always on high alert for unplanned interactions. Previous two owners were older women who lived in condos and thought he would be a cute companion, yeah right wrong breed ladies, you fucked this boy up. Six years old but thinks he’s still a pup, stretching his legs and mind since coming to live with us. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
