Love the van!
Dog Vehicles cont'd....
At times I can get excited about other peoples dogs AND the vehicles they use to haul them around with. So I've compiled a few pics of my favourites... Here we have a pic of Susan Lawerence's little work horse. I loved this little truck ! It was as practical as it was ugly. I think she use...
I love the station wagon. What a practical vehicle! It's like having a truck with good gas mileage.
Assuming we move, I'm hoping to get a minivan and get a roof rack on it. I love vans...if I can't find one for a good price, then I'm going for a small hatchback car.
I would think that a truck with a topper might be the most practical for carrying the dogs and eliminating the smell issue. Could get cold for them on long trips though.
In Search of the Perfect Dog Vehicle
I have a confession to make. I do have other interests other than the incredible GSD. I know it sounds crazy but I have to try and be balanced. So another interest I have is vehicles that can haul my wonderful furry beasts around in. Hmmm is this another interest? Oh hell it's a start! I as...
My baby dogs would freeze to death :)
I like having my dogs inside, they are good burglar alarms and heating pads. If I had large dogs like yours though, I'd probably reconsider. Wish we had a yard....
House or Kennel
Here is a very interesting article by Claudia Romard for those who haven't read it about the age old question about having dogs in the house. Download House-kennel Personally, I'm a convert - I used to be dogs inside, now I find I am happier and they are more willing to work when we have some ...
Toby is not a very good jumper, he's a little stout :)
I wouldn't be surprised at the stories.
He is incredibly fearless (to a suicidal extent) once he's in hunt mode. I have been trying to read a lot on the breed and I keep coming across references to JRT's complete disregard for their own safety. Once they lock on to something, they will not stop in the chase, ignoring pain and frequently hurting themselves.
He's very calm and well mannered otherwise though, very cuddly and likes to burrow in clothes and blankets.
My Deutsche Schäferhunde
I would like to introduce Igor van het Basjes Huis. He is the second dog I've imported from Rinus Bastiaansen of Daelenberhutte/van het Basjes Huis kennel in Belgium. He is a "bit of" a maniac, lots of fun to train, wish us luck!
I think I like my arms (and my nuts) too much for that :)
But I'd like to check it out
Time to train-the turkey is all gone!
X-mas has come and gone, boxing day has passed without having to go to any malls :) No news years resolution is needed to get this guy out training. It was such a nice weather day (notice the t-shirt in the pics) Igor and I had a little discussion and decided to try out the new targeting sleev...
It's all very interesting stuff, I don't know anything about the sport. Didn't know it existed until you started talking about it.
Not to worry, I'm sure Ezra will catch up. In the meantime, you'll just have to take care of his beer and women for him :P

He's actually a much bigger dog than we expected and I am extremely impressed by his chewing ability, lol. He may be a small dog but you can really see the hunting instincts and where they get their reputation from.

That's an awesome video!
We got our dog from the Humane Society in YZF, sight unseen. He wasn't quite what we expected but he's part of the family now :)
He had a lot of issues when we got him, seems he was raised in an apartment with young kids. He was never given any exercise, had never been on a leash, had never been around other animals. Seems they got rid of him for being too "aggressive" and there was some notes about him and a new cat they got.
He's doing quite well now, but we still need to get him more comfortable with larger animals. He did well with our cats and he and our little dog are great friends. He plays with our friend's small dogs as well, they have mini-dobermans. I wish there were some professionals here we could work with though.

LOL, um, sorry, can't help you there. Our JRT has been difficult to socialize and still can't play well with large dogs. It would be a BAD SCENE. :)
But if you know the Dog Whisperer's phone number....
What happened to the younger one? Dax was it?

Great pictures of everyone
The Crew
Where would most of us be without the support of our families? I know I can spend a LOT of time with my furry friends (I mean the ones with four legs!) It's always nice to come home after training and have some time with the gang. And without further adieu here they are.... The Girls (Picture...

Alberta Schutzhund Association
Well I gotta say I am pretty pumped about a keen group of dog trainers at our club. We have a group that is generally fairly new to the sport, but more than makes up for it with great attitudes and work ethic. I'm hoping we can all have a lot of success and some fun times in the new year. We'...
How many dogs do you have now?

LOL, nice one Wes!
Tis the season to be social?
Tis the season to be social (except for my dogs) Ok hold on they can be social but not fawned all over. Unless it is by these three;) On a more serious note, I let my hounds socialize with other people, but I do not ever want my dogs to be petted etc by other people. My kind training pals a...
