ChewieTAG Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Just thought to share how my 7 months old shih tzu (SNOWY) watches tele sometimes. Especially when I turn the tv loud and has the shooting or fighting movies on! But the photo attached where he was watching JLO, it was the first time he was watching a chick! None moving.... LOL :laugh: Does anyone's doggy / puppy watches tv or whatever movements in the box?? :D Head shot of Snowy. I've just got him trimmed on the body as I am not showing him. But learning how to do his head soon. Regards Snowy's mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KumaAkita Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Kuma is an avid TV watcher... so much so it's starting to be an issue! He jumps up on the TV unit and starts sniffing things on the TV! 09/52 by KumaAkita, on Flickr He doesn't like the asian chick from the eHarmony ad, but loves watching the footy. No joke, his team is the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs :laugh: How cute is Snowy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChewieTAG Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 I was just reading a book last night that talks about why some dogs watch TV and others don't. Apparently with older/normal TVs the image on the screen flickers so fast humans can't see the flicker but dogs can, so they don't usually see the people and animals moving on the screen. The new plasma type TVs though flicker faster than a dog can detect, so dogs are more likely to take in interest in what's on the screen and this is why there are more frequent reports these days of dogs watching TV. ahh Interesting. I have few friends who claimed their dogs do watches tv sometimes.. Maybe that is why! Everyone seems to have LCD / LED nowadays! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Crazy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) We have 2 avid tele watchers here. Stella only likes certain channels & shows. Animal Plannet being her favourite. Sonny on the other hand is a huge fan of T.V. Pretty much anything that moves on any channel. Cartoons, especially the oldies, Bugs Bunny & alike. Horse racing, most ad's , e.t.c e.t.c Any fishing show he is up at the screen snapping at the poor, flapping fish on the end of the line. He can actually be in another room & hear the music off his fave ad. & bolt into the lounge room straight up to within 2cm of the tele :laugh: Oh & he loves the CI channel NOT. If a show comes on like Aussies Most Wanted & they show the "baddies” profiles, he charges up to the T.V. growling, barking & carrying on a treat. Go figure :laugh: We have a very funny lounge room Edited September 6, 2012 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChewieTAG Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 both Stella and Sonny are so cute! How cute he went charging to his favourite ad! Too cute! I wonder what runs through their mind when they saw their favourite show / ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Thanks chewak. I think they are both so very cute too !! Am just a tad bias though :p Oh Sonny is hilarious with the his favourite ad's. He just bolts into the lounge room fast as he can as soon as he hears the music/or familiar sounds & sits there watching it, about 2 inches off the screen :laugh: His fav at the moment is the new Masters Hardware store ad. Don't know if you have seen it or not. It has a magnificent chocolate Border Collie, "Flynn", owned by Kelly Gill, Kerodan BC's. Anyway Sonny has meet him, whether he recognises him, I don't know but we run like mad to get front row seats for that one. :laugh: I would love to know what is going through their mind too. Certainly keeps us very entertained. Just had to edit: Sorry for your loss Kiwigirl You Shitzu is just gorgeous chewak. My mum has an aged boy, "Toto" whom she just adores. I haven't had anything to do with little fluffies in the past. He is just the best companion type dog, aren't they? It's funny cause they sleep a lot in the day & I'm not used to that having always had BC's that are quite active usually.

It's funny cause they sleep a lot in the day & I'm not used to that having always had BC's that are quite active usually. BC is an absolutely gorgeous dog. They are smart too. I love to stare at them whenever I saw few owners walking BC around my area. The owners must think I am a crazy stalker! Yes, Shihtzu is consider as a lapdog? May be that is why they tend to sleep more than other breeds. I find most lapdogs are non- active dogs. Shih Tzu is categorise as a nonsporting breed! not even a toy dog! The only thing about Shih Tzu's breed is that they do need a lot of grooming! I had another Shih Tzu previously and Teddy has lesser coat. He has not much undercoat at all. Snowy's undercoat is scarily a lot! Right now I am trying to find a way to thin it down. Thanks for the comments @BC Crazy *attached photos - Teddy with the collar bell, Snowy with the top knots* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) I love Shihtzu's eye's, think they are so big & beautiful. Snowy looks so handsome with his top knot all done up. Mum keeps Toto looking like your teddy, clipped most of the time but I do prefer his coat left unclipped bit it is to hard for her to manage.

I don't think I and Snowy can deal with his long coat & warm weather. I want to learn to do it. Will be getting own thinning scissors and experiment on him soon. he will look like a monkey with unkempt hair soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuffles Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Snook, was there a reason some dogs can see it and some can't, even on the newer TVs? We have a plasma, one of my dogs is an avid TV watcher but the other appears to simply not be able to see anything on it (or maybe he just doesn't know what it is). If a cat comes on TV, Ava watches it on the screen whereas Satchmo just stares intently at the speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
