DesertDobes

Sniper scrapes his metal bowl along the concrete or flips it over and over. If I go out to tell him off he sits in it and gives me a big smile

The interpretation of the rules seems very different state to state. Vic is pretty relaxed about it, but I'm trialing under a S.A judge soon and have heard that they are much stricter. My puppy will pick up articles and the boy used to, but the older boy thinks hes too good for that so we have been putting treats under the article to get him to spend longer on it.

I have two Dobes, I think they would bail anyone up and bark at them if they are outside. When they are inside however, they are pretty relaxed and less likely to do anything unless the person was acting suspiciously. My male has a very solid character and would not be scared off by confrontation and I hope he would protect me, but the 1 yo bitch is more timid but normally backs up the male when they bark at strangers. I saw a doco about a dog trainer simulating a break and enter in a number of dog households and the persons confidence around dogs actually put most of the dogs off!

My dogs breeder uses the Lyrebird beds, they look very tidy and strong and the price is not bad at all for essentially custom made beds
