Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A question on dogs..

Living in Oakland, I can't for the life of me imagine why.

Alas, he passed away about 10 years ago, after we had left Oakland. But he was an amazing dog. I used to take him to a typically Oakland dog park (under a freeway overpass in the hood, nothing but pavement and garbage) and he'd get along with all other dogs, especially pit bulls. But one day I was going to get a ball to throw for him and a German Shepherd cornered me and starting to growl. Out of nowhere, my lab (a big boy at over 90 lbs) came running and t-boned the Shepherd. No one believed it cause that dog was so gentle that even the vet told us he must have had his mean bone removed.

Some dogs don't like the smell of coconut or pot.

I had a little 8lb Chihuahua/Jack Russel mix, ornery little brown and white cuss who got to keep his ‘nads. He could spot off-duty Cops at the range every time and would get in their face, White and Mexican both. I think it was their body language or their walk or something.

Black folks? I had a rat terrier too back then, ordinarily laid back. One time in the morning I went grocery shopping and left the dogs in the car, parking lot mostly empty at that hour.

I come out and this Black guy with a big smile on his face is dancing pirouettes around the car, both little dogs going full on Cujo beserk inside the car following him around from window to window

He was embarrassed when I came walking up, I thought it was funny.

That little mutt is the only dog I have had that bit someone, a drunk Mexican reaching into my Ex’s car at the park, little fugger struck like a rattlesnake from the back seat. He was a good dog.

^^^^^^^
This dog was 100% feral in the main train yard in Mosul.
The Alpha dog of em all.
We named him JYD, junk yard dog.

Myself and 2 of my philippino soldiers Ravago and Casica started working with him and got him to the point of being americanized and our compound dog.
Then he opened up friendly to the rest of the platoon.
Belly rubs, food, frisbee, patrolling, kicking azz.
Seen him take on 4 other dogs one day when they thought they could move in and take over the train yard and his pack from him.
Holy fugg....
JYD won.
Almost killed one on the ground withba throat hold.
Think he broke anothers front leg.
Couple bites on back of his neck which our platoon medic doctored up.

He would sleep all day and walk with squads on patrol at night all over the city.
Lit up Haji,s azz,s and upper thighs several times.
Take a rest break with security on patrol
JYD would break off 50 75 yds out do his early warning cujo barking thing if he seen a haji.

Dogs know who azzholes are.
We handed him off to the stryker company that took over our AO.
Took him about a week during our 3 week overlap for him to get up in the back of the crew compartment of a stryker and go out with those guys.

Fugging war dog.......

Dog parks can bring out the best and worst in our friends.
Val, our mixed breed, hence Valsdad was a nice girl, hardly ever see any aggressive type behavior from her toward folks or other dogs.
At a dog park in Henderson/LV one time, she was 30 or so yards from me when I went over to get something we left on a bench, toy leash, cookie, whatever.

Lady came in with a little Jack Russel terrier that started trying to get nasty with me, just because. Val ran over and without having to bite or more than just with a look and a growling bark told that dog what was going to happen if it continued its attitude toward me. My wife and I were about stunned. We would have expected that out of our other two dogs, but not the mellow one in the pack. The owner lady of that little dog swooped in and got that dog out of the way.

Dogs are amazing. That girl would put herself between my wife and anything approaching danger when she walked the pack in the morning in Fresno/Clovis. Like the drunk guy laying in the gutter up the street, or sketchy looking folks walking down the other sidewalk. Just casually move in front of and to the side of my wife to let the opposition know they were sighted.

Come On!!!!

I thought we all knew that dogs were much smarter that people!

Back about 3 weeks ago.
Grandog dog Brady saved my wifes azz from d bags 2 german shepards .
Posted about that bullschitt.
Brady a 55 60 pd redbone coon hound taking on 2, 95+ pd german shepards.
Wife said he held his own for about 20 seconds.
Wife got some of them shepards also with Brady,s chain leash when he slipped his collar defending his grandma.



What a goat fugged situation.


Fugging sheeple in my neighborhood and their run ins with that azzhole and his dogs over the past 3 yrs never doing schit about it either.

YES ABSOLUTELY

the only human my big, fat completely socialized Labrador retriever ever growled at, was my total shïtbird wife’s derelict, malingering, drunk-druggie cousin that used to come around bumming ‘lawn mower gas’ for his Tahoe.

It was uncanny....I never seen big chug of love do that. I would deny it if I hadnt witnessed it.

My yellow lab is like Tarquin, he’s never seen a negro.

The most amazing dog story on these boards yet, and there’s been a bunch 😎

I had a chocolate lab that was the same exact way. Friend of everyone, as long as they weren't black. He'd turn up his lip, the hackles would go up on the back of his neck, he'd plant himselft directly between me and the black person and just let out the deepest, scariest growl a dog could possibly muster up. I couldn't take him anywhere where we might cross paths with black people. It wouldn't have been safe for any of us.

This was during OIF1.
None of the system for bringing dogs back to the USA where in place or thought of.

JYD was a epic dog and proof of their loyalty to humans in a example of how 2 species become partners.

Birdie

What is the name of that little mama dog? 😃

All we hear about Cleburne

I like Cleburne.

Cool looking.

He looks bad ass REN. Too bad you couldn’t bring him back with you. That’s sad. Whatever happened to him? Do you know?

Hahaha, tff, Remy.

Be interesting to see how dogs do with Chinese and Vietnamese.

A Rancid Crabtree dog.

this one could smell anything !
