What a fluff ball! Ranger is 6. They are neat dogs. Bark like a jet engine and as long as he can set a perimeter to patrol and guard he's happy

We (my wife) have two cats. We tried a dog door to the back yard. Big commotion and there is Ranger bringing one of the cats back into the house through the dog door by their scruff. He just wants them to be where they belong

The newborn calf in #612 is a Hereford Angus cross.
They are a very common "beef breed" .
We raised a "bummer" with goat's milk from a bottle until it was big enough to learn to nurse from the goat, and join the rest.
, and he was sprinting across the road, to that brushy gulley.
, but now, he is well into the "poundage range" to be expected.
Against #612,,, ? how long would Bear last ?

The one I saw on the reservation wasn't as "deep" black as that one,, had some "lighter" , and I don't think as big as the Sherrif's vid.

I think the last time we talked about your pup, he was pretty young.

Probably not long. He’s a lover not a fighter. He’s taken on 3 coyotes at once though and they all ran at the speed of “OH fuck!!.
But I would never allow him to be in a position to be wolf food.

, need to respond to Jeff,
When I asked how long Bear would last against the #612 wolf
My dog Jack was a lover too.
, and a killer too ( "certified" as they say ) .
Any raccoon , foolish enough to be in "his" yard was going to die.
He would not have lasted long against #612 either.

Our GS/border collie cross took off after a coyote once. At the time he thought he was the fastest and dog alive, and that included endurance...at that point he had not yet encountered a greyhound or a coyote but had run the legs off everything he had ever met at the dog park.
Closed distance with the critter for awhile but when the coyote realized he had it lit the burners and that was that. Oscar walked back. Head down...glancing sometimes over his shoulder like he still couldn't believe it. Next time we saw one of those desert dogs he pretended not to see it.

Bear is the opposite. He had a similar encounter with a pair of coyotes early on when he was 18 months younger and about 20 lbs lighter. He wasn't a greyhound, but he wasn't far behind. He chased them literally out of my sight and I was really worried and was racing after him. He got close initially and they did the afterburner thing and took off as well. But he trotted back with a really self satisfied look on his face saying "hey dad, I done good, huh?" He's full grown and all muscle now at about 110lbs, but he doesn't have either the speed or endurance he once did. But holy shit he's still fast. There's a particular patch of desert in the city where its scrub brush thick with rabbits and that's his 3 day a week exercise regimen is to chase rabbits at full speed for 45 min. Occasionally a yote will wonder through during Bear's workout session and that gets an even longer chase.

Yeah, Oscar was all about play, not hunt. He seemed more confused that this new "dog" didn't want to play with him than he seemed proud of chasing away a predator.

Starr caught a squirrel but didn't know what to do with it because she was just playing.
It wriggled out from under her paw and got away.
But isn't dog anarchy elsewhere?

Probably over next door to “Dogball” anarchy. 🤣

Had that happen too. I bipped one of the coyotes with a rock to teach him a little respect for humans. The dog was a pound puppy who, in his prime, could probably have given a coyote a lesson, but was old and sickly at that point.

Ouch. I could feel that recoil from here.
