Let’s see your pup

[BJH65]

We have a pack of five dogs, four are rescues. We are maxed out, that’s it!

Max- our 7 year old 105 lb blue Doberman. He’s my wife’s protector, a loyal and fearless dog. My third Doberman. My favorite breed but probably my last, a lot of training required.

The rest are our rescues, once trained, all wonderful dogs.

Bandit- 12 year old border collie/heeler mix. Poor Bandit was hogtied in wire and left for dead out in a field. He’s been a great boy.

Nala- 7 year old red and white husky saved from a kill shelter. Damn near wild, but with a little training, turned out to be a sweet wonderful dog.

Eva- 3.5 year old black and white husky. Dumped on the county road near our home. Our most vocal dog and maybe our smartest. Definitely a drama queen!

Sadie- 2.5 year old, we think mountain cur and heeler mix. Dumped on county road by our front gate. When I saw a car just miss her by about a foot at 65 mph I knew we had to save this dog. Got her dewormed, vaccinated and I trained her with the idea of re homing her but then I got attached, here we are a year later.

Rocco, Dutch shepherd I imported and trained for narcotics/apprehension back when I trained dogs for govt agencies. Sold his half brother to Oakland PD

My explosive detection / apprehension partner was a brindle Dutch… smartest and hardest working animal I’ve ever owned… “Nick, the Prick” was the most feared and beloved dog at my agency… simply an awesome animal…

You’re a good man! We also have a rescue dog that someone dumped out in the country. But four??? Respect!

Orosius the story against the Pagans text

"After all, despite the fact that in the great house of the great father of the family, many living beings, of all kinds, provide assistance in the household, the diligence of dogs is not the last; only in them it was laid down by nature to diligently, of their own free will, to do what they were accustomed to, and thanks to some the innate law of obedience, the mere feeling of awe brought up in them, to restrain themselves until, with a wave of their hand, or on command, they are given the right to act. 4. They have their own abilities, which bring them as close to beings endowed with intelligence as they distinguish them from non-intelligent beings, namely, the ability to distinguish, love and obey. 5. Indeed, distinguishing between their own and outsiders, they do not hate those whom they drive away, but are dearly loved by those whom they love themselves, and, loving their master and home, they diligently serve, seemingly not adapted to this by bodily nature, but motivated by the consciousness of love. 6. That is why the Canaanite woman was not ashamed to say with a secret meaning in the Gospels that puppies eat crumbs under the table of their owners, and the Lord did not despise to hear this. 7. The pious Tobias, following the angel leading him, did not refuse to have a dog with him."

Judge my Chesapeake bay retriever with a very rare Utah wood duck-only my second ever.

We thought we were going to raise a bird dog. We refer to him now instead as our pussified sporting animal. He has a hard time getting comfortable as the picture shows.

 

[Tundra Tiger]

She actually sleeps and snores in this position. Our long-legged 110# loveable diva.

 

[HeinSavage]

Our new addition. Already tracks people really well.

Wife volunteers at the local animal shelter and talked me into our 5th rescue, Willow, an 8 month old, not even sure what, Anatolian Shepherd mix? Guess I’m becoming a full time dog trainer in retirement! I recently posted our 5 other dogs stating that was it and now it’s six! I sure am a sucker!

 

[Woodcock Hunter]

I also have an Ellie. Actually, her official name is Spinelle (predecessors were Pearl and Opal). Six Labs in sixty years. Why anyone would buy any other breed is a mystery to me. The ranch family that owns the property where I'm hunting now is on their first Lab. What a sweet dog. The missus asked me the other day what book she should get to train him for bird hunting. I laughed. "The same book I use: no book! Labs come ready to hunt right out of the chute." Over the years I have seen a couple in the field wearing electronics. Just a decoration. Owners showing off their newest digital toys.

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

Not mine. Went to check on my boat yesterday and this big girl was walking around outside my dock gate. Harbormaster didn’t seem to care! Busy road going into the harbor, so I called her over and she jumped in the truck! Like she knew what she was doing… collar with no tag! Took her to the animal shelter. They scanned her and she was chipped, but not registered…the place that installed the chip was in Chico, Ca (Nor Cal). Had to fill out a bunch of paperwork. I also had a bunch of leashes and dog stuff we weren’t using and donated it to the shelter. So that worked out too. Get back to the dock and then I noticed a truck with the camper shell opened and a moving blanket in the back. It had a Chico license plate frame on it. Left a note with my phone number… No call back yet. If it was up to girlfriend we had a big stinky wire haired pointer now… Or whatever that dog is…

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

Besides, we already have the small version…

Although, the only reason my girlfriend would want me to be a farm or ranch is to have a dog rescue and animal sanctuary!

 

[Ragman]

@NIGHTHAWK you have a new dog. Good job!

 

[Firebird]

Judge, the chessie doing his thing with a goldeneye and breaking ice for a gw teal. I would quit duck hunting without the dogs!
