Was that dog in FF&G a while back?

Travis,

Not sure where all he has shown up. Buster has been in lots of TV shows and had lots of articles done on his hunting predators. I used him when running traplines too.

I have 3 GSP's. Rowdie rings us for breakfast each morning at exactly 4:30 AM. She also reminds us at 4:00 PM that it will be time for supper in one hour, just in case we forgot. These are her tasks for the day. Chaos has backyard duty. She sits at the back windows and sliding glass door to keep all the birds, rabbits and squirrels in check. If it is nice outside she will move her post to the patio. Molly has front yard duty. She sits in a yellow chair in our spare bedroom and watches for the schoolbus, UPS guy, mailman and the other assorted rogues gallery that comes and goes in the neighborhood. She does this from "can't see" in the morning until "can't see" at night every day.

No chit.

Retractable claws and doesn't swim. Might as well have a firkin Cat.

Cool.

I walk my dog daily on pavement. Pavement doesn't touch dewclaws, though.

What kind of dip chit doesn't remove dew claws.

That's something done when they're first born, when they don't have much blood supply or nerve development in them. Once they're adults, it would be about like removing your pinkies, in terms of pain. I sure do wish, though, that someone had done it when she was born. Should be done to all dogs at birth.

If you ain't got concrete its tough..... pasture doesn't help with the nails...but I"m thankful not to have to live where there is concrete.

I'd have sent CDOW a note back saying how can you harass when the marmot was legally shot?

I have a Rat Terrier/Fox Terrier mix, of all the dogs I've ever owned she is the most bonded to me.
I've had a number of good dogs over the years, but only one great dog.
Nothing has ever been so happy to see me every day after work.
She simply won't let me out of her sight.
I was really never what you'd call a dog lover until I got this pup.





Annie is a great trail dog, she's been with me on some great hunts.

Our min-Aussies like to eat katchit,,

I've got two Catahoulas, an Aussie and a JRT. The Aussie (Finley) like to turn on the water faucets and start trouble any way he can. The JRT (Opie) beats up the two curs (Boo and Doo) all day long, but they seldom notice. He weighs 15# and they weigh 110#.

We have a 13 year old lab/beagle mix. She was supposed to hunt, but could never convince her of that. She loves to go hunting with me, but thinks we are just out for a walk. She used to make sure the deer, turkeys, squirrels, etc didn't get too close to the house, but has gotten a bit lazy the last couple of years. Still pulls a patrol or two around the yard every day, but other than that she lays around one porch or another most of the time. Going to miss her when she is gone. Al

My last dog was really good at 2 things, riding in the pickup and eating beef jerky(he could do both at the same time). Was always high energy(Lab/Dalmation mix) and healthy. Just up and died on my birthday 10 years ago. He was only slightly less smart than the average rock and I miss him. If I ever get my work schedule to where I'm home to take proper care of another dog, I'm going to get one...although maybe I'll go with a hound this time(always wanted a good blue tick).

Thanks for explaining dew claws to me Doc.

Now that you mention it, I do see more Pit Bulls with Dew Claws intact than other breeds though.
Which I guess, answers my original question, "what kind of dip chit doesn't remove dew claws"?

Sleep a lot

A lab raised by a Great Dane

Talk about mixed up

Very nice dog

Snake

Our two Catahoulas are watch dogs and coon/possum killers. They will bark at anything - including turtles. My deceased older Catahoula used to kill Coral Snakes (died of cancer, not a snake bite). Smartest dogs I've ever known. One is deaf from birth, but he has heightened his other sense to the point that no one suspects it if I don't tell them.

My son had a beagle once that was good at climbing fences, so I put a hot wire around the inside. Every morning he'd put his nose against it to check it out. If it knocked him on his butt he was OK for the rest of the day, if for some reason it didn't, he was over the fence and gone.

That older Catahoula used to patrol the hot wire for me - one of the several "jobs" he assigned himself - and if there was a limb or stalk of grass on it, buzzing as it shorted, he bark at it until I came out and fixed it. The younger one I have now has followed me and watched me pulling grass of the hot wire, and will do the same thing himself. They don't seem to care that the wire is there to keep them from climbing the fence, or digging under it - just have a need to help.

You're welcome. Have a blessed day.
