What Equipment Do You Use?

If your watching them constantly, than yes.If your one of those guys who ties it up and lets them play with it as much as they want, than NO IT IS NOT...My friends best dog almost died because of intestineal blockage,from a piece of fire hose.He had to have it surgically removed ,and it cost him a shit load of money.

 

That is a good point. I NEVER let any dogs work alone no matter what it is. Putting in the time with them is part of working them properly. Just like the swimming. I had to go in after Nicodemus once! LMAO A good pair of shoes and a cell phone ruined later I got his ass back to the shore though.

Good post James!

 

I've had B take in some water too he love the water tho , But will not quit on his own i watch him just swim circles about 20' in diameter 40' off shore cause know one would pay any attention to him! Just another day at the beach.:rolleyes:

 

That sounds like Venus! She'd swim in figure eights all by herself like she was doing laps or something. lol She LOVED the water. I had to watch not to let her swim where there were any logs as once she tried to bring one back that was WAY to big, but she was determined and was literally drowning herself. :eek:

 

great pic..i see you train your guys in kung fu. lol.

 

I also find that digging is good exercise. And he don't even need the shovel :p

 

Those are some great pics GSD.

 

Yeah and no web feet! there feet move 30 km/h just steady!but he looks great! but he's a bit thick these days, winter pudge lol

 

I love that action photo!

 

This colby blood? If not my bad just curious she's is Sharp Looking!

 

Buck E., I wish I knew. I got her from a "friend" of mine who really wasn't taking care of her. She is a good dog though and very sharp-lookin', thanks.

 

BOOG: Man, I SURE do love NICK. For some reason, he's always been my favorite of your dogs. I think it's the daaaaaaarrrrk brown coloring.

AP

 

look like you love her plenty!!

 

First of all once somebody starts babbling their crap about how their dogs are this and others dogs are pet bulls, well that's pretty much when everybody sees through the fake bullshit of the poster. I know what my dogs are and if you think your opinion of them matters then you're only fooling yourself LMAO.

You say you were offering advice up to the new people, well you should have made that clear, because nobody sure as hell would have known it by your post babbling about getting a plant. :rolleyes: Sounds to me like you're backtracking.

I bought my first dog in 1984 if we're having a pissing contest. I wasn't aware that we were, but obviously you seem to take things personally. I don't need to cross post anything at all. If you can find the words I posted ANYWHERE on the internet as a cross post I'll kiss your ass right on the bung hole. Fact is you won't because those are my words and my knowledge.

A little advice......next time you want to come on acting like you know it all and throw around basic insults like get a plant to anybody that doesn't exclusively hand walk, you shouldn't shed tears because somebody calls you out on it. You've done, nor said NOTHING to impress me nor anybody else IMO except to pretend through innuendo that you are knowledgeable.

So while others may be impressed with your shit, I am not. Sorry. Good luck to you also. Just some FYI, I'm sure you know since you're so smart, but the link you provided to pedsonline isn't public. LOL I can go there because I have an acct but others are missing out on your REAL dogs ped....LOL. "Retired due to heatstroke".....sounds like you could take some of your own advice. Is that cuz he wasn't ready from all that handwalking for his hunt? There's the public link for ya.

Oh and since when does a ped have anything to do with knowledge of conditioning? I just don't see the connection. You seem to be desperate.

 

LOL now you've went from exclusive handwalking to several forms of exercise. Seems like that's what I suggested to do in my posts????? HMMMMM Just so you know that's what "diversified" means! I agree that there's plenty of folks who know jack about owning, breeding, showing, conditioning, or any other facet of the dogs. Where the problem comes in is lumping everybody together except for yourself. I have taken the time and effort it takes to learn, learn, and learn some more. I realize most don't, and for them, the dogs are the ones that suffer.

How you got a stick up your ass over "cruising the peds" is beyond me......you're the one that put up the link for me to go look at. You seem to just grasp at straws with no relevance whatsoever. Next time you don't want me to "cruise your peds" don't put them up. That's just another statement that makes no sense at all.

As far as board domination???? LOL this thread is the most posts I've put up in forever so once again.....makes no sense. :confused:

Fact of the matter is, you seem to be proud and take good care of your dogs, I do the same for mine. To ASSUME you know about my dogs is about as silly as me assuming I know about yours. I guess that's how it goes though when you have no basis for your previous posts.

While I was "cruising peds" I also "cruised" some of your posts. When you suggested somebody duct tape oak (not pine) boards to their dogs legs with rickets is when I really about busted out laughing. For all your knowledge you gained since 1987 seems you missed the boat on that one.

So just remember, you, me, and everybody else on here has plenty to learn no matter how much you THINK you know. Sharing knowledge is a good thing till you get a stick up your ass and have to start slinging insults for no reason. I posted NOTHING that would lead anybody to do anything detrimental to their dogs health. I would always be glad to teach and share any knowledge I have. You on the other hand just seem to want to be superior. Good luck with that!

EDIT: BTW wtf is Best in Group or second best in show? Is that what the heat stroked dog won? Just wondering?????

 

Dude.. that dog lived to be 15 years old and was tough as nails. She went full bore on everything and had a wicked life full of fun and loved every minute of it. I don't know what kind of dogs other people have, but mine are sound of body, not flimsy little princesses that can only handle leash walks which by the way, they got HOURS of everyday as well. They party hard, last long and couldn't have been happier and more loved. I like my dogs rugged and choose ones that can hold up to my lifestyle, thank you very much.

 

It always amuses me that some of the people who let their dogs go "to the woods" get their panties all in a bunch for someone else DARING to let their dogs get their four legs off the ground. :rolleyes: Seriously. It's called putting things into prespective.
