Kirislin Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yep, I remember when the wolf man was on, might have been 60 minutes. He had a girlfriend back then, I wonder if she is still around or was it all too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTD Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Loved it. His great enthusiasm and true excitement made it a wonderful show to watch. And his own dogs are gorgeous What a great choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charli73 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yep, I remember when the wolf man was on, might have been 60 minutes. He had a girlfriend back then, I wonder if she is still around or was it all too much. Yes i rememebr that too, he had to introduce his new girlfriend to the wolves and leave her alone with the wolves for some time, maybe shes not around anymore... I thought it was a bit gross when he let the wolves lick his mouth and he was kind of tongue kissing the wolf, ewwwww!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosepup Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I imagine he doesn't bathe a whole lot either as he would want to smell wolfy for the pack. I commend his love for wolves but he would just be too stinky for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmurps Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Just finished watching it. Martin Clune has clues. What a lovely soul. How awesome were the JR, just getting the job done. The wolfman spent 18 months living with the wolfs. Eating, sleeping the whole works. Not sure what happened to the girlfriend, all I remember was that she wasn't too keen on living with the wolves.

Sheridan Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Anyone note that his two cockers and lab were pedigree dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapua Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) I enjoyed it too, never thought much of Martin Clunes before but I like him now.One thing I noticed is that I'm fairly certain the dingoes didn't all have white tips on their tails. I thought this was a way the authorities decided if it was in fact a dingo. I couldn't see any white on the Fraser Island dingoes and they're supposedly the most pure. So is a dingo a dingo if it doesn't have a white tip on its tail? Dingo's vary in colour Alpine/ Costal/ inland/desert. The white tip on the tail or more than likely on the feet is common though they can be anything from a fox like red, yellow or black and tan. With or without a white blaze. They have much bigger feet and more teeth than a domestic dog. I had the unique pleasure of helping an aboriginal anthropologist man his wife & kids, condition their Dingo to live with their family as a pup when I lived in Cowra. The owner was finishing off his thesis there before he moved to the back of Cooma on acreage. he wanted advice to help the pup- then 8 weeks to not stress in town. So we went on a process of socialising, walking, noise, kids, cars - she was the most well known and well adjusted critter I have enver met. They fully understood that to do this meant that the dog was going to be very strongly bonded to them for life and could never be rehomed under any circumstances. They were totally committed to Tahlia and she still lives with them now. She is 10 years old. 'Training' a dingo was a unique experience (BTW owning Dingos in NSW is legal ) She still recognises me and we are great mates. Dingos are definately different - and body language is a big thing with them. She now lives in the alpine region with her human and dingo family on 3000acres.

Blakbelgian Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 The wolfman was game throwing himself in between two wolves that were going to fight over the dead carcass. Hopefully I don't miss part 2 next week. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I imagine he doesn't bathe a whole lot either as he would want to smell wolfy for the pack. I commend his love for wolves but he would just be too stinky for me. I wonder if he rolls in dead things. From what I can gather he does pretty much everything they do, so it's very likely I think he is fascinating, I would love to know what he is actually trying to achieve though. That I've never been sure of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would've been a great experience, Tapua. It'd be great written up in an article or a book. Hint, hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can gather he does pretty much everything they do, so it's very likely I think he is fascinating, I would love to know what he is actually trying to achieve though. That I've never been sure of. I have watched him put raw meat in his mouth and then feed the wolves by mimicking regurgitation. He wanted his girlfriend to do this too - wonder why she's not around any more And I think if we had smell-a-vision, he would be pretty rank. You only had to look at his greasy hair to make you cringe But hey, whatever floats your boat I guess and what I wouldn't give to spend a day in his shoes! I too can't wait for the next episode although I have to admit that I did sneak a peak on YouTube. Just watched the part of him taking some sleddogs out - naturally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiveplusone Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I think I may have a bit of a crush on Martin Clunes Theres something really attractive about a man who gets so gushy over dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) What a shame to see him going with the popular line about inbred and unhealthy purebred dogs. *sigh*. I quite liked both shows until then. It's so disheartening to have been one of those scummy and ignorant breeders.
