Pete Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Fancy putting a sleeve on and seeing if he backs up his shouting with some action? The Russian Terriers are a pretty good schutzhund. Thanks for the kind offer, but I'll give it a miss I think. I had a dog floored me when I was a kid. I turned and ran and it bounded after me and jumped on my back flooring me. Just my aunties lab so I wasn't in danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Only with older dogs, they can then go on to get lick granulomas where they lick pressure points and the skin goes hard, black and itchy. I am beginning to feel guilty, but a wet blanket is worse than dry ground. The outdoor ones are the ones who don't like livvng inside, and we also HAVE to keep the adult males apart, and 2 of the bitches, who would damage each other given the chance. In fact bitch fights are nearly always worse than males, as they often fight to the death, so we need to be very vigilant about security and leaving doors or kennels open in the wrong places. Sorry didn't mean to make you feel bad Only asking as Stig is weating his elbows out already hense me 'over-fussing' and wanting a thick bed for him... I can understand having to keep them all separated. Are you able to walk them together or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 He's settling in well now, and I have managed to snap a few pics of him in the garden and at the neighbours lake. Still not loosing him off, not until he knows his way around a bit better. There being no street signs or taxis to hail, unlike in London, he might get lost http://gatesgarth.com/aslan/aslan.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Picked up a rescue dog from some people returning to Turkey today, from central London. I have worked like a slave for 2 weeks putting down a large concrete raft, building additional kenneling, fitting it out, making a temporary tarpaulin roof as the roofing sheets failed to arrive, building a sleeping box, blah blah. Up at 5.00 AM, did the feeding, left at 6.00 AM, in Stepney for 8.30 AM. Nightmare getting the brute into the car, he failed to tell us he wasn't used to getting in strange cars... Slow Bank Holiday traffic, but home for mid afternoon, despite a pub meal and a pint. Walked it, fed it, watered it, talked nicely to it, showed it the sights (which it didn't like, the emus frightened it, it wanted to eat anything that ran or scuttled, and the fellow over the road had a hat on, which apparently is a big no no with this dog). I then put it in the kennel, went to watch Time Team with Jane, and the darned critter is barking at every none city noise it can hear. First it was the Guinea fowl talking to each other at bed time, then some geese going overhead, then next doors horses coughing and neighing. God knows what it will make of the peafowl in the morning, or the emus grunting at a fox in the middle of the night. Don't these city slickers have any country manners....? I'd tell it off except it's bigger than me, and the torch is flat again! Another sleepless night I suspect I would be making a bit of a stink too if some strange man came and forcibly bundled me into a car took me to some strange place with creatures I had never seen or heard before and then locked me in some strange room all alone waiting for god knows what. The country dog taken to the city and left with strange people would have just as hard a time I think.... Any photos of the brute ? *Edit, I see the pic now.

Looks like he's dying for some sushi and one of those designer coffees he's become accustomed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Lovely dogs Chris. Is this another one of your ploys for more people to get stuff done to their cars AND view the dogs? (cos its working) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
