black lab mix.... because I am questioning the size and shape of those ears and the length of the muzzle and unfortunately I can see the bite span.. something there speaks doberman or possibly dalmation. pig ears are good. just do not give rawhides... because rawhide doesn't bode well in the digestive track on a puppy.. the needing to be close all the time is normal. because of the trauma.. that will fade as his confidence that he has a home and is safe. keko is going through the same things...even to the point of having stolen my shorts, Nicks underware, and possums jeans to sleep on....its called imprinting... try wearing an old shirt something you don't wear all the time and give it to him after its been on your body for at least 4 hours.. its a comfort technique so that they know your scent and print to it. dogs live their lives in 15 minute intervals... thats why if you go to the store and are only gone an hour they are thrilled as hell to see you...anyways.. good luck with that.... take care.

Being a former Black Lab owner myself. Well lab and what ever else taged mom while she strboutted her hot box all over the neighborhood. lol I can tell you that for well over a year they will bounce and bounce and run and bounce and make you wish you had a perscription to valium. In the long run when all is said and down and you have survived the terrible 2s you have a awesome pet.
BTW have not been on in a few days. Cat knocked a wind machine fan of head of bed onto my face. Not that I needed any help in the ugly department. My left eybrow and part of my forehead swelled till I looked like cromagnum woman. Got blured vision and what I needed another dang headache. I told hubby I was going to tell everyone he did it. lol. Doing better, swelling gone and thank heavens did not bruise as bad as could. Cat still is alive and has all its fur. snicker. I hope to get back to business tomorrow and someone needs to give me some chores... Love and miss you all

His name is Hannibal and he is part Siberien Husky and part German Sheppard... as he is over 2 ft long and 20lbs and is 8 weeks old.. there is a pen outside just for him as well as I wont let what happened to Damien happen to him.. and Uncanily.. he follows me around just like Damien too..

Getting fixed isnt a bad thing? I dont know about a woman but to a guy, bringing anything sharp to do some surgery so you become complacent and boring and gain weight without the normal affects of age is just unnatural. Thats why your dog wears pink Shoko.
Will not get my dog fixed. Thats like someone asking me to do the same thing to myself. HELL NO.
Alex, my advice, house break him. And if you cant, invest in a $40 run chain or a small dog house and kennel for the coyote problem.

I see, but just as an afterthought....because Im funny like that...did you know your are more likely to get testicular cancer and any other form of cancer than your dog will? Maybe we can have you fixed and that will help you in the long run? ;D
A dogs hyperactivity depends on how you deal with him and train him in his younger stages. Control is the key. Doesnt matter if he's fixed or not. The greatest advantage of fixing him is no dripping, and not lil hannibals running around. Otherwise, everything else is a behavior modification due to training and what he is exposed to and how he is controlled. The electric fence might work, though for my dog he just thinks it was made to tickle him.

Brindle Pit Bull Terrier...Redboy, Jocko and Boudreaux bloodlines...gives him his jaw strength and his hyperactivity and "gameness". Meaning he'll protect till he is dead.

I am so glad he came home. I do agree with you though Wapike, he needs to be neutered..
nah.. but might make an exception in your case.. -s-
but of course.. can you think of any more qualified? I am stock tender you know -smiles sweetly-
oh I wont have any problems coming to grips with my hands being on you.. however, bein a bit of a farm girl, you might have to come to terms with the way I decide to handle the proceedure.. might just have to go old school on you
ppps...I also have cute baby girl... ;D
pps...I have strawbaby poptarts, cookies, oreos, paddles, rope, and an infinite supply of....bubbles!

Here is another thought when you have your dog neutered, Wapike.
"There is a solution for pet owners who want the health and behavior benefits of neutering, while also maintaining that "manly" appearance of an intact male pet - Neuticles..
Neuticles are testicular implants made from human-grade materials. They are available in many sizes, from very small, for cats and small dogs to very large, for bulls, horses and other large domestic animals."
hehe....Now I've heard of everything.......
but do you have homemade pumpkin fudge.. and lots and lots of flavored coffee.. tonights flavor chocolate eclair -sips- dont think so..
Woobie... what am I.. confirmed on facebook?

what happens if the collar/instrument is removed?
My vet told me, "You gotta think like a dog." I never could wrap my head around the whole ball licking fascination though *G*.
QuoteMy vet told me, "You gotta think like a dog." I never could wrap my head around the whole ball licking fascination though *G*.
Really? Well I doubt the dog has pockets to keep a wallet in so he has some place to keep his money where he can go to the "corner" and find some hooker-dog to lick his balls for him. Some probably dont have girlfriends to do it for him either.
Then, he sure as hell cant scratch them because he cant bend his legs enough to give his fellas a "hiya" doing or the inconspicuous rearrangement nudge.
What else is he to use? No bitch to help him out...no wrist and elbow to bend in the right direction with opposable thumb to do it for him...that leaves....
Licking.

Also, another alternative approach to neutering because your dog might get that urge and run away...
