The sky this morning looked MUCH nicer than the red & brown of yesterday

I do that sometimes for my bantams !! They enjoy a hunt .

Oh .! This type appeals to me nice shape, clean, look sturdy but not chunky ... Lovely little video, too. Thanks.

This video explains and shows trained dogs hunting rats in NYC CLICK here very graphic content , however it shows the effectiveness and speed of these dogs!

Oh Minxy - What a lovely memorial that tree will be Run free Kyojin, with those huge paddy paws and crooked grin ...

That must be such a good feeling

Compensatory extras are perfectly allowable , I think ;)

@natnatroswell22 .. do you have your own experience with Danes to share, as well as that quote from a website? They are amazing dogs - but possibly not quite the type being sought by the original poster

Hugs and thoughts. Is there anywhere you can send photos/videos to who may give an opinion? When I saw you had updated I thought the news would be bad , and am happy to read that Sniper's still enjoying life

That is great news I hope you all make a happy family!

Your little poodle cross is quite possibly rolling and vocalising in play/ecstasy Just like humans - and most animals ..dogs enjoy a back rub and the feel of different textures and may groan if it feels good . > he's a puppy .. and I suspect he is exploring/stretching/playing let him rub on grass, in clean sand, in autumn leaves ... it's fun, it smells grand, and it sounds as if he likes it Try to not fill him with chemicals if there is not a definite need ..he is but a baby ....

..it may have all started a couple of years ago ..if so, top marks for persistence!

The breeder needs to be notified, yes. You have taken him to the vet as a matter of urgency ..so now the breeder should be notified ASAP.

At the moment, he IS - he is being completely true to his instinctual male self -and you have allowed it by giving him free reign, unfettered by fences or your presence.

*nods* it used to take us much time & trouble to educate prospective guide dogs in this aspect of their work ..and even then, it appeared to come into play only when they were working.

Y'know , I just re-read this and felt more than a bit sick The injuries which could be inflicted on a tiny in-season bitch by a randy GSD include fear-induced ones, bruises, fractures, bites and who knows what else Not a laughing matter at all.

..he probably won't. leaving ANY dog to roam on the premise it will return home is being unfair to neighbours and the dog concerned .. Dogs depend on owners to keep them safe.Neighbours rely on others'dogs being contained. Where we live, nearest neighbours' houses are barely within sight - no-one leaves dogs to roam, even here. It is irresponsible.

Oh new week ! Kooka taking over from a seagull , & eating human food scraps !
