We love our mini-Aussie girls. They are up at our place in the PA mountains with my wife and #3 daughter having a grand old time. Temp 55 deg! And here I am in fugly-Florida working! Show your dogs guys!

Well I would, but photobucket has kicked me out and doesn't recognize my username or password.

Cam - Pheasants hated her..

Haven't loaded any decent pics of our latest pet. Don't go to the pound if you're a softy, you might come home with a dog with an attitude



Kinley's a ~2 y/o Anatolian Shepard. When they say it's an independent breed, they aren't kidding. We've met several neighbors based on her propensity to wander.

Don't have dogs any more. We had as many as 5 Scotties at one time, in the past though.
This laddie is my daughter's pup, Mr. McDougal. As pretty a scottie as you would ever want to see.

She's my avatar.

my Dazy dog. rescued from a jackass and now owns us. back right leg has been broken in 8 places and front left in 2 places.
she still thinks she is Lucky!

best Friend I ever had. God? take care of him for me.

Frick and Frack (Bella is the terrier, Roux the other) with squirrel on their brains. Pic taken about 10 minutes ago. Both were from the local shelter, Bella when she was 5 months and Roux when he was 8 weeks.




And Indy, the pregnant stray that showed up on the 4th of July and has been in the house and part the family for a week now. She should be popping at any moment.

My amazing dog, Jet. He is such a great dog, I can't go anywhere without him....

schrap, that pup looks like he was with my Dazy when she was run over! lol

Our 2 pups, Max, a rescued husky and Maia, a rescued lab/husky mix.



And Kane, the best dog/buddy a man could ever have.

RIP Butta

Good Lord, Shrap! You'd better hope the old saying "dogs and their owners look alike after time"isn't true!

Ed

Lady, the coy-dog, walked up to the fence when she was about six months old, covered in fleas, ticks and both kinds of mange;



Abby, the terrier/cur cross, rescued from a shelter in Shreveport, LA by my bride. The best squirrel dog I've ever seen;



And, Suki, the Boxer-German shorthair cross. Rescued from a shelter outside of Atlanta by my bride. She was scheduled to be put down as she had been "adopted" by three other families who said that she was uncontrollable. Right...



Ed

We miss Finn McCool every day

Lab/Shephard mix.......awesome dog

Pete,,, 12yo GSP



Sophie,,, 10yo GSP


Mustang Sally,,, 5yo Mtn Cur

Max. More than a pet. He's my best friend. Never ever,ever lets me out of his sight.

Sweet dogs all, gents! thanks!

You know Im gonna have to put up the latest pic of Rommel��looking good after a couple tough months of being sick...





And Etta the fish dog�.

What was wrong with the Feldmarschall?

Herr Rommel had a bout of Masticatory Myositis, an autoimmune disorder that attacks the jaw muscles. Treatment is HEAVY doses of steroids, which really screwed him up�.but he's back to 99.9%

Very, very happy to hear that!

Can you give that to Nancy Pelosi?

Annie, my 3 yr old Rat/Fox Terrier mix.

My 'Houlas, Boo and Doo.



Finley



Opie

Yellow one was an outstanding bird dog. God I miss her.
Chocolate is still here. How I don't know. Coughs like a Swisher Sweet smoker, has a throat problem she is on steroids for. Til she isn't happy we will trudge on.

A friend over in OR's mom had that mix. (pretty little female)
One of the best dogs I've ever been around.
I'd take one in a heart beat if they're all like that.

She's hands down my best dog ever FG.

FOR MANNLICHER.

Lulu


Taku, he is no longer with us. But he was a pointing machine. French Brittany

Taku on point.

this is from a few years ago....she is still fond of the little tennis balls but we have added a pair of little boys for her to take care of.....


the tall one is the little girl in the picture above....Harley (the little white dog.......she still looks like a little white dog.... )

I have a picture just like that of my dog from the late 1980s (a Pitbull mix). She loved to swim out to the middle of the lake to retrieve thrown sticks. I didn't realized till years later that the lake we did that in was known to harbor alligators.

Campfire needs more threads like this and ones with family rather than the political and religious b�llschit...

Giblets, my ESS...oh how he loves hunting (and swimming).



He also apparently is a Rockchuck retriever. Nailed this one off a rock at 162 yards and fell into thick brush. Gibs ran right in and pulled the stinky carcass out! I told him, uh...thanks?

The Olde English Sheepdog relaxing.

Roxie and her girl are inseparable...

She didn't retrieve that stick. She found it and went down about 6' and pulled it out of the bottom of the lake. No gators here lucky for them or they might be Lulu treats.

Three of our pack. The black male on the left is a roadside rescue, and our two females.


The alpha of the group Lager, my constant shadow.


Our summer dog Bubba, some of this some of that. Another roadside rescue.


The three girls rescued with the help of many here on the Fire last year.
Belle, Frannie and Daisy


And this little guy came back from a litter we had. Had to take him back as they had him stuck in a cage all day. His name is Ajax, Jax for short. Father is the red and black male and Frannie of the three black sisters.


Yes, we go through quite a bit of food, but the love we get in return is priceless.

Nice pics, L2S

All growed up.


And with her sidekick.

The oldest of my 2 shepherds, Ilsa, my sweetheart.......w/o a doubt, the best dog I've ever seen.

MM

June 21, 2001-July 11, 2014. I miss her.

Just never forget her & keep her in your heart, always.

I dread the day...........

MM

JDK and Montana, Our pets never leave us we only adjust.. Beautiful photos all.. Wonderful.. Nice to know other love their dogs as much as we do..

JDK, Just looked at your photo again.. You have my sympathy.. Goldens are so wonderful.. May you soon find another to sooth your heart..

Miss Coco sittin' in the back of the truck watching passers by:

Kate.. The first day we had her!

Peach and Kate.. Peach is 10 and Kate 2.. Kate is THE BOSS!!!

Mr. Head....Puddin' Head...we call him Pood...He just wandered up one day and took the open position we had as farm overseer...don't know how we got along without his expertise before...

This is Gunner hunting Blue Quail in fresh snow in Southwest Kansas.

Great looking Pit mix.

my dobie doo. he'll be 12 in oct.




shorty the rescue corgi/?



and tipsy girl

That's just wrong.

Only a mother could love that face.

Rocky (griffon/black lab mix) on the left and Hunter(black lab) on the right. Rocky will actually fetch beers to. I got both dogs for free and are great dogs.

I threaten him every day that I will paint a black circle around his right eye....doesn't faze him a bit though...we always thought he is a mix but he has a lot of American characteristics too...He won't talk about his lineage to us though, too busy I guess...

You mean to tell me there are dogs in that picture? All I can see is a friggin' Awesome 'Yota...

Nice tits!

Jeff

Our new Golden Retriever/Poodle cross "Chip", at about 3 months. He's a cute little [bleep], but kinda ornery at the moment.

Jeff

What a great thread.
I posted these oldie's the other day buuutttt,,,,

My first hunting dog.


And the best dog that ever owned me.

My son's German Shorthair...

Here's our little pooch. A mini pins




Dexter [aka Butthead]. He's going squirrel hunting with me this fall.


maddog

It was great rolling into my office this morning and seeing all the new postings. I know it will never equal the AI thread, but let's give it a shot! Some sweet dogs gents. To me, it proves we all can't be buttholes if we feel this way about dogs.

Great dog pics everyone.

Here is my newest GWP Asa

At 3 months


this week viewing our new burro Cookie with some reserve at 6 months

Wallace, one of my min pins doing what he does best.


Toby, my daughter's chocolate lab. Sweet girl, and a Parvovirus survivor.

out of a life time of owning dogs, this wee lad, Knockando McTavish, was the best of them all. We were blessed with his presence for 13 years, and his passing in 2007 left a void.
Only Scottie I ever knew that would/could chase a frisbee in mid air, help with my squirrel hunting, swim like a fish, and was totally fearless.

Nice Ass!

This my our "Maggie". English Setter and one of the most comical dogs we have ever been blessed with.



Here she is with a tuna fish can in her mouth!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby dogs that took a piece of my heart with them�

ALL beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our new addition to the family after our son married and took his hounds with him.
We've been Lab-less for three years until last week.
Meet Waylon:

good looking pup there.

First pic I ever took of Rommel, with his first toy�a plush patrol car

My buddy Jack......pic two is Jack on the cliff

Here is the most photographed dog, ever:

I dunno...Ive got about a million pics of Ingwedog!

Mine prefers the dry fly......

While we are bragging, take another look at Jet. This dog is really a go-getter...

Bonnie, our 12 YO GSP







and Jox, the 3 MO rookie Korthals Griffon



No dog, no hunt, they're mandatory 75 % of hunting time.

True story, Jet actually killed a Doberman once. The Doberman choked on him...

Remmie. She lives to chase red squirrels and frisbees. Here she is in squirrel mode.



Another angle.



She's coming up on 9 years old and is slowing down quite a bit. She's still got a lot of zip, but it fades a lot quicker than it used to.

She'll always be one of the best dogs I've ever known.

Auggie, my best friend and life long pal

My boy Cody. When he was a pup he be a a chick magnet, weren't a woman around who didn't gush all over him, want to pet him. Unfortunately, that did not help me in any way. Usually when I told them they could pet me they just moved along. Just sayin.

[img:center][/img]

[img:center][/img]

Thank goodness Jet didn't suffer any damage after we extracted him from the Doberman's throat with a set of bar-b-que tongs...

Maggie the lab is a rescue dog that turned out to be a retrieving machine. Brooke the GSP is 13. She will pick up dove, but really shines on pheasant. This was a very good day with some guys and dogs I am going to really miss one of these days.

Perry

Yo Nordhead, ask Shrap if you could borrow his dog for a while. Maybe having a dog almost as ugly as you, will help ya when you stagger around after last call trying to find that perfect Ms. Nordhead for the night

One of my grandsons with his new heeler

Tomorrow is his sixth birthday....

This is my soon to be three yr old jagd. He is a load of fun and a great family pet.

Maggie when she was a pup..

Abigail as a pup...

The afternoon in December when she put it together on the shotgun and retrieving!

Earlier this week, trying to convince grandma and grandpa that she deserves the jelly donut!!!

Gunner, a smooth coat, GWP, running machine, with a nose.



My previous smooth coat, GWP, Bosh; I had to put him down after watching him suffer through an undiagosed illness. A great companion.


Our present house dog, an American Princess, named Effie.

Got in a hike last night during my son's soccer practice.

You'd think the last thing I'd want to see in July is snow

[img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd....3095951_f076c0ef7fe60a9f85fbada05198b2a3[/img]

At the end of the hike.

Can't forget Miss Casey, she had some of the smallest paws I ever saw on a dog her size. We lost her 3 summers ago.




Pals for life!

The Grim Reaper styling and profiling.



He earned his keep this day.

Ruby, our vizsla

Here's Dolly, and a rooster she pointed near the end of last bird season. Looking forward to many more seasons with her, she's only 1.5 years old right now.

That dog is GORGEOUS!


In a lifetime of dogs there are two that I didn't take home with me that will haunt me forever. Both of which you could look into their eyes and you knew the wheels were turning �one was a vizsla�.

Ingwe, what's your dog doing with Jim Zumbo?

SurfNTurf...

Buster was about 6 mo. old in this picture.




Buster and his sister Savanna from the same litter. The next door neighbors have Savanna. Buster is the white one.

Trying to get the skinny on ARs

Pic of a pic of my first registered lab.
Got her when I was 14. Read all the dog training books of the day. With alot of luck and a smart, forgiving dog I had a great hunting partner.
She was outstanding....
She also got ALOT of hunting time.

All good looking dogs. Even Jet.

Here's my buddy Murphy. Gone but not forgotten.

He wasn't real sociable with strangers but he never met a sofa that he didn't like.


Now I hunt with Mischief the Wonder Dog and Dad's caregiver.

Here's a couple recent pics of Haily. We picked her up from the shelter not so long ago.

Going down the road with daddy,


Yesterday, cooling off in a mountain stream,

Shrap, so glad to see Jet's surgery was a success.

Josie. Died 5 yrs ago. Boys are ready for another dog...

We need some of these sorta' threads, and I'd thank the other old curmudgeon for starting this one,....

Lotta' the Boys, and a few Gals here, know Gracie.

She's a good natured dog, with a bit of a "Wild Streak", eats the wild rabbits here pretty near daily.



The Queensland Heeler, ... "Halls Heeler" in it's truest form is a pretty fine creature, and an example of just how FINELY a line of stock dogs can be bred for both savvy, and obedience.

She's been on this place in S.E. Az. since 5 weeks of age,....and has ALWAYS seen rabbits as a food source, and something to chase.

This evening I was far enough ahead to finally let her into the orchard / garden / berry patch to check out my new source of fresh manure, critical to an aereated compost tea / liquid plant food stunt we're playing with. She's been asking me for weeks, but the one time her and the other ( Rescue) dog got in, it was utter chaos. This evening I kicked back, opened a beer, and let her come in alone, and give her a chance to respond to quiet commands, coaching, and steering, while sitting back out of the way. Told to "Sit / Stay" She sat for a good 5 minutes, just watching, and waiting for the next heads up.



Gotta' say that for an OLDER dog ( she's 9 now) she really showed a lot of class, and demonstrated to me ( and now to you all) that good breeding is critical to a dog's mission, and that you're wasting time if you haven't brought em' up right.
I'm feeling pretty proud of her, right now.



There can be NO denying that her main thought was that these new arrivals were a legitimate food group,....I think this particular pic speaks VOLUMES of "Dog-ese" (Maybe the next pic even moreso. )



She was, nonetheless fairly easy to manage with verbal commands and coaching, though I admittedly tossed the odd pebble and bounced it off her when her attention lapsed. She was very responsive, and looks to be interested in spending more time around the hutches.



Wagged her tail a LOT



Let's hoist one in praise to well bred and obedient Old Dogs !

[img]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x59/sharpsrifle/DSC_0003_zpsff98ba87.jpg[/img]

....ya' did really well, Grace !

GTC

Nice lookin dog and mountains too. What mountains are those?

Crossfire:

Are those meat rabbits you're raising there? What is the plan? is it cost effective with bought feed?

Thanks,

Jordan

Nope,....nothing to do with "Meat", although I'm not above deep frying the extras.

In terms of "Bought Feed", it seems that it would be hard to BEAT Rabbit, in terms of efficiency and weight gain per gram of protien,....or so I'm told.

My MAIN requirement, and these long ears' tasking is that they provide the fresh bacteria and enzymes to kick aereated compost tea into the highest gear possible. Think of it as the "Yeast" that one needs to get decent bread or such. I'd prefer to be using Alpaca manure, they are THE tidiest defecators / urinators in the Animal Kingdom but that would be prohibitively expensive.

There's a batch of their manure and damp litter brewing as we speak,....the aerobic "Bloom" of nitrogen fixing bacteria being nourished / fed by the addition of some common feed grade mollasses.

Once a guy gets this right, outside of trace minerals and desirable enzymes, he may never have to buy "Fertilizer" again.

This whole stunt is in the start up phase,....but I'll tell you that I've never fed ANYTHING to a plant before that demonstrated such immediate and gratifying results. Initial tests have been done with Berry cultivars in individual "Growing Wells", e.g. Feed one / Skip one.

Neat stuff.

No flies on properly fried Rabbit, either.

GTC

...oh,...neglected to mention that 40-50 % of their feed is already produced here on site. A big fat retired breeding doe can STAY fat, and produce what I'm after on a Tuna Can of Pellets daily, supplemented by Blackberry Twigs ( Blackberries my targeted "Cash crop"), Apple Twigs , Almond Twigs, Pear Twigs,....all here already, and always needing pruning.

Lotsa' fine agua, so good Alfalfa's no biggie, either.

She's actually my daughter's dog, but you'd have to convince HER of that when I start loading up the truck!

She didn't know WHAT to think of J�ger when we brought him home...



But,...she eventually warmed up to him.

Jorge, I believe that anybody that's ever had a JRT misses them. I sorely miss my Belle.

She was showing some age at this time.

Here's Lucy in her good days, enjoying the fire during a November elk hunt. She was my once in a lifetime dog. We had to put her down on June 20, 2014, Kidney Failure. She was just shy of 10.

WARNING! hide your wimmins' and children.






This was her last hunt...
She's still here. So far.

rescued both. rozy was so head shy when we got her she would cringe and run if you would try to touch her face. Dazy the chocolate always has something in her mouth

Oh and he still has his balls. I never bred him, still have registration papers around here somewhere. But I'd love to have a son from him. However, he's huge, usually weighing around 110, but fit.

My dad's little red hellion(yesterday).

Great photo sequence! Man, I love these dogs!

Mines the white one. Bro in laws is liver.

Oh great,,,, just what we need. Another cop.

Mr. Wienie, the world's most spoiled Wiener dog.......

Good ol' Buster aka "Meathead", pit bull/black lab. Melanoma wracked his powerful body and took him from us at 8 years old. Say bye/bye and he'd go get the keys for ya

Rainy day Buster putting in some couch time.

Here's another spoiled one. "Buddy" wandered up a couple of years ago, and has been here ever since.......

Rocky and Zoe, earlier this spring. Just before SARDS took away his vision.

My dog was in the back of the truck today on the way home. I didn't get any pictures of him, but I did get some of the elk...

This little guy we brought back from Oz. Loves chewing on large rawhides and similar stuff.

That is one fat ugly wiener dog.

John

Our beautiful and very loving GoldenDoodle Khloe. She's a true blessing!

My Wiener dog would still try to tap it....... horny little f*cker.....

Crap !

Had one hell of a ruckus fire up just before dawn's first light, today.

Gracey had treed a big Sow Coon, and about the time I wandered up with a .22 and a flashlight was inspired to climb the damn tree and grab hold of the bugger.

Bad Mistake, Gracey



I think this is the first time she's ever been "Bested" in a fight, and she's been moping around about it all day.



I just gave her a really good going over, there are no deep wounds, or lacerations,....and I'd say the only real hurt was to her pride.

Had a very frustrating time with the final dispatch of the little villain,....thick, thorny brush, an over-long (and too light caliber) rifle,...

Gracey pretty much had to do it on her own.

GTC

What a great photo!

I always had Labs until my divorce 9 years ago. My new wife came with a couple of step-daughters, and a little Cocker I wasn't real keen on initially. A few years back, she got out of the yard and was hit by a car. I spent the better part of the evening wandering the streets with a flashlight when I found her busted up in the ditch. Hauled her to the Vet and after surgery and rehab to teach her to walk again, she has pretty much adopted me as "the one" and doesn't pay much attention to the rest of the family. She's kind of grown on me a bit as well...

Feo passed about 4 yrs ago

I was hunting once and a wombat was hiding behind a 1 inch tree. As long as his eye was blocked by the tree and he couldn't see me, he figured I couldn't see him.
But I could......

Abby with my parents dog Bo.


Abby and Bo getting some couch time.


Little Bo, passed a couple of days later in my arms. We all miss him.

Tequila the female on the left. She's very possessive and protective of the wife. Otherwise just a good dog, works team roping cattle fairly well.

Hazer the male I lost last fall. Best working dog I ever had.

She ever going to kindle some pups ?

Man,...I'd kill to have one.

My Heeler Gracey is spayed,...a move that I've been "60-40" about ever since.

God,....BLESS and keep this fine line, and let the AKC rot in hell for their efforts to "standardize" the breed.

GTC

Jorge, good thread.

Here is mine, he had an uncertain future when we took him in a couple of years ago. He is my constant companion and lives to go walking with me in the forest.

I find the stamina and agility of this breed surprising.



He is also a good vermin dog, loves to kill rats and mice.

Crossfire,

She's had one litter so far. The plan was the breed them again this year. Still looking for the right suitor for her now. She's only 4.5 so I have a little time.

Hope that pans, and hope to get a chance at bringin' one of the next (or the one after, for that matter) HOME.

Good stock dogs are one of the Creator's best gifts to us dumbazzed two-leggeds.

...you already knew that.

GTC

My CBR Poacher

Richard

sweet dog!

I've been blessed to have had a few good dogs.

All these outdoorsy pics made me tired.

I am surprised the USFWS, EPA, or some other alphabet agency didn't have have a slobberin duck fit when you brought this fellow home and try to send you to federal prison or something.

Cross,

I'll keep ys in mind when I breed her again. Just passed a heat on her in early summer. Hopefully find her a suitor here soon. have a couple in mind, just want to check them both out a little more.

Ouch! glad to hear she wasn't hurt any worse. Coons can be hell on dogs, even good sized ones.

When my Dad had his first small garage, a lady brought her car in. She lived only a few blocks away, so he gave her a ride back home in her car, then drove it back to the shop. He jacked it up, got on a creeper and rolled under the rear axle, and found a raccoon sitting on top of the differential. The coon was not amused.

Dad calls the lady: "ma'am, do you have a pet coon?"
Lady: "Huh???What??"
Dad: "a raccoon, I found one in your car, on top of the axle."

silence

Lady: "I definitely do not have a pet raccoon, but I will ask the neighbors"

She called back after a while, and none of her neighbors had one, nor knew anyone else who had one. She lived in the middle of a town of 100,000, and raccoons were definitely not common.

Dad & my brother eventually put on heavy leather welding gloves, (which it could bite through) caught it and stowed it in an empty drum, then that night took it outside town and turned it loose. It was not the tiniest bit tame

coons,...
They're somewhat rare in this immediate area, more common down along the san Pedro river, and in the Huachucas. This was Gracey's first encounter with one, and my bet is that should she tree another she'll not be quite so inclined to join in battle.

I figured it was the neighbor's cat, or a Squirrel.

That crummy old scope's coming off the "Garden Gun" and I'm mounting a red dot setup,....I reckon that will be a lot handier around this place, where one's almost always shooting into shadows and thick cover,....

GTC

My little schipperkee buddy Petey.

Dem are kool dogs!

Foxee�my PHs tracking dog. Half Dachshund,half fox terrier. All hunter!

Etta, the ultimate fish dog!

Now this, is a good fuggin' dog story.



Travis

Our three dogs. We have a 2.5y old roan coat GSP - Gertie that we took in as a rescue. We have 3 year old male GSP - Dillon and a 2 year old Lab / GSP / perhaps pit mix Ruby that was also a rescue.



They absolutely LOVE water



Dillon will retrieve anything and loves water retrieval. Sometimes he doesn't seem to think about the fact that shorthairs get cold! This water was quite chilly and I had to wrap him up tightly afterwards.



Crazy boy loves to chase bubbles.



Did I mention they love water and the boat?

He is very protective of home and family. Vermin and snakes don't stand a chance either.

Buzz, that looks like the firetower on the AT above Nantahala Gorge.
Cool dogs!

This is my Bowi on point on a Sharptail.

I got him as a return to the breeder, because he was unmanageable. Which was hooey, he was quite manageable, as long as he got to go to the farm everyday, and run his fool head off for a couple of hours, dig out a dozen or so gophers, and run off a couple of feral cats and such.

The only dog I've ever hunted over that would pin down a pheasant with a point at 6 feet, a covey of sharptails at 30 yards, and a covey of huns at 40 yards, all on the same day. He just knew what kind of bird he smelled, and what it took to hold them.

Lost him 4 years ago at age 6 to cancer. I still miss him, sorely. I have his son, but he's not his father. I now have his grand daughter, too, from a different dam, and I have high hopes.

Thank you all for this wonderful thread !

.....what a magnificent dog was Bowi !
