Mason_Gibbs

Aww they look so cute and cool pic with the view behind them

Iv entered state obedience, if I go or not depends on a few things...

Cringe lol. I better start calling him Gibbs

He was having fun CC he was doing this..... And then had a swim with a mates dogs

I want to update my sig but waiting for slug puppy to come home and will get shots of him and Mason together

I certainly hope that Australian breeders aren't breeding for this trait. Attacking without warning is not a desirable trait in any dog, especially since these are becoming more popular in suburbia. Remember the dogs in south africa feed off the fear of their owners and will attack because that is their job - if someone is on your property you will not mind your dogs having a go there , my ridgebacks were never trained to dislike strangers but if you put your hands through the gate into our yard they would have a go. I think they are lovely if raised correctly etc. A friend of mine was sitting on the floor petting a boerboel and it then turned and bit her in the face. I myself would not have one though as they are just not for me.

Mason

I am not sure what they were orginally bred to do but their name means 'farmers' dog so I guess it had to do with protecting livestock on the farm maybe?? Heaps of farmers still have them but mainly to gaurd their farms as they are great guard dogs, they are very silent in their attack they will bite first with no warning.

Has Zora had many toilet accidents in the house?? Im hoping new boy is a fast learner and picks up toilet training pretty fast

I have to muzzle mason if im busy helping other people at training. He is a pia!!!

Oh no Ptolomy pls send your mum healing vibes from us .

Im from south africa and a few of my friends had them. Lovely dogs and very good guard dogs.

Rv lol!!!

Pls pm me the details too hollys mummy

That sounds great Tiff ETA I ordered Mason some Canidae Grain Free Salmon to try again, after adding just 1/4 of a cup of kibble back into his diet a day his stomach was not right again, lets hope this works....

Morning all - its been quiet in here, any news?? 11 days to go now...

Glad I have read this as my dog is 2,5 years old and next weekend I am bringing home another lab pup. I have a feeling he may ignore him for awhile too...

Yip if i had kids i would still go places and do things too

I admire Emery so much, my friends baby is 3,5 months old and they wont even leave the house for a dinner, Emery goes away for a wedding and dog show in one weekend, very impressed!! :thumbsup:

How come you didnt get to choose (or the puppy choose you) Mason? There are only 2 yellow males and one will be kept for showing - if none are kept then we can pick.

IMO i would get her to sleep with the crate door closed and do a 2am or so toilet trip for her. That way you can also watch that she does not eat it. Lots of dogs do this and it can be for a number of reasons but its not something you want to encourage.

I use Malacetic ear solution 2x a week as a maintenance for my dog, since i started doing it ( as advised by our dermatologist) we have not had 1 ear infection.....

If they work better than the white ones I will order 2 when the pup has grown a bit

Let me know how u find that one Mirawee i find that my white one from ckean run dries out very quickly....

Yeah its one of the reasons i decided on the yellow this time they dont attract the sun like the blacks, Mason battles in the heat
