Esky the husky Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 :laugh: Literally :p As I type this he is tearing apart a broken moving box ;) He's a great paper shredder too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 What a cutie!! So late yesterday arvo we went swimming in the river, I held Nova only about a meter out where he's feet can't touch the bottom. He's a ridiculous swimmer. What kind of dog sinks? Think I'll need a life jacket He much prefers to paddle around in the shallows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanae Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 esky he is very handsome even with the crazy ears :) Puppy playgroup is back, Ezio got to catch up with his brother. Here it looks like Oakey is telling Ezio a funny joke at the water bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Gorgeous pup, esky. Very cute with one ear down. He looks like a gentle soul - look at those eyes. :) Kanae, that photo would be great for a caption photo competition. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Very cute pics guys :) How awesome Ezio got to catch up with his brother! I had a massive win yesterday - I've been taking Nixon to the dog park for months now - it's fenced, with double gates on each entry. He is always SUPER excited, as he's very social. For months, every single time we go, I ask him to sit at both gates before I open them. For months, he's ignored me while I ask him to sit over and over again, until I cave and give him a collar correction and force him to sit. Yesterday, for the first time ever, he just sat - first go!!! At BOTH gates! I couldn't believe it! I'm so proud of him, he's finally growing up a little :) Such a good boy! Will have to see if he does it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Your pup is just gorgeous Esky . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks :) He was a good boy at the vet. Should have expected, he had no idea about the breed. Although they're a fairly common dog in hunting circles, no pigs in SA means no pig dogs. :laugh: Reckons he'll be less active than my sibe.. Yeah, nah.

Guest Clover Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 How much did he weigh in at today? :laugh: Just because he is going to big won't mean he won't be active. People have some funny ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 He's just over 12kg Kilo a week. His sister is like 14.3 - :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Bull Arabs have amazing speed and agility for their size -- I'm laughing hard that your vet thinks he'll be slower and calmer, Esky. BAs are a gorgeous breed in the making!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I think 80% of people think they're some kind of bullmastiff and the rest think I'm talking about a pit bull :laugh: Yes they're incredibly athletic, Hopefully keen enough to race well for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I would imagine they would be awesome for races! Strong and fast! Keep us updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanae Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have Ezio Booked in for his last puppy vacc this week, and afterwards we are taking a trip to the groomers to get him groomed up and receive a bit of socialisation there :) He finishes puppy preschool this Saturday but he will still be going to the puppy playgroups to play with his brother and socialise with the other puppies. I have booked him into an obedience club to start working towards obedience (the current school doesn't do obedience), maybe we could even get to a competitive level, but I will see how it goes and see if we enjoy it enough to first. I have no clue about obedience or rally, but I think it would be a great opportunity to get a stronger bond with Ezio and improve his focus.

Esky the husky Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Sounds like something great to work towards Kanae :) Totally a great way to bond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) I bet you're looking forward to that final shot! I was so happy when I could take Nova out without carrying him! I already posted these in the Aussie thread but thought Nova was looking very grown up in this first photo, so will share here too :) (Excuse the fuzziness from the wet camera) He really looks like one of his relative I've met in this first one He still does drowned rat well!

aliwake Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Looks like Nova is having so much fun! I wish we had somewhere like that to swim nearby! Is it fresh water? We're close to the river, but it's brackish where we are and quite muddy. I also worry about sharks, even though I'll happily wakeboard in the river myself. Funny how you worry about your babies far more than yourself! If Nix gets muddy at the park I usually take him for a swim to clean off though. He's grown into a proper water baby and loves swimming now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhok Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Awesome photos! I love the one with him jumping out of the water by himself. Treb is still not a water baby he only goes up to his ankles and even then it is only to step in because everyone else was in the water too. --Lhok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's in the Murrumbidgee river :) There is normally a nice sandy beach there but the river has been quite high lately. Nova sinks in the water, but he was getting frustrated so... Today I bought him a life jacket! He followed me out into the deeper water straight away! I think he must of just needed that extra little support :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That's so cool!! Glad he took to it straight away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhok Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Nova looks pretty happy with his life jacket on. Do you mind me asking where you got it from? --Lhok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
