K-9 Anti-terrierist training

I spent my weekend fucking with dogs. I love dogs.

This picture is my poster pup for 'Don't fuck with me!':

This movie is of the first lesson I am giving my own dog on how to grab a rag and never let go:

You call them dogs? This is a dog.:p

Bruce, your dog is like a Great White. My dogs are more like Pirahnas.

Which way would you rather go down?

Bruce,

That is THE most GORGEOUS dog I've seen for a long time.

What kind is s/he? I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful shade of pewter on a doggie ever.

Is that a weimeraner? If it is its a beaut! Mostly they look skinnier than that.

My ex-roommate's Cane Corso bitch had 10 puppies, about 5 months ago. That's Bravo, at about 70 lbs and he's a real sweetheart. The color is called "blue". Three of this litter were "blue", the other seven were mostly black with a little white. Usually they cut the ears like a doberman but this litter was not....and won't be....ever.

No, in this case only the tail is bobbed. Did you whack his nuggies off, too? PETA, sic Nixon!

[xoxoxoBruce]

The tail has to be bobbed because they have fucked up tails.
He's not mine, but yes he was neutered, as any responsible dog owner would spay or neuter their pet. Unless you're a dog breeder, their is no reason to jeopardize your pets health by not doing so.:p

Bruce, is that really true? There was a fairly aggressive campaign around here last year to ban the chopping off of dog's tails, and I can remember several "experts" saying that it is never justified. Of course the pro choppers argue the opposite.

[Dagney]

I know that most tail bobbing is due to AKC breed standards - and they're generally because the tails have 'weaknesses' that may harm the dog down the way.

I have a schnauzer, and their tails are bobbed on their 3rd day of life. She wags her stubbie with great gusto - and it's adorable to watch her wag her whole rump.

I don't think the "weakness" reason really holds. I know boxers, schnauzers, dobermanns, spaniels with undocked tails and they do just fine. In the UK it's "considered unethical" by the British Vet Associations... and vets are the only ones allowed to dock so you see far more longer tails here.

Gorgeous dog though...

[xoxoxoBruce]

Can't swear to the tail thing, second hand info. The ears not being cut precludes showing because of what Dagney was saying about the AKC. The owner of the bitch didn't want to sell to anyone except for a pet. Doesn't believe in ear cutting and feels show dogs spend to much time caged. With show puppies of this breed going from $1800 up to $2600 or more for a blue like this, that's a pretty noble stand. He sold this pup for $400 because he believed the people that bought it felt the same way he does.

We kinda hijacked NBN's thread, sorry man.

Bravo was quite a hit at work today. I work with LOTS of doggie lovers, and when they saw him, they all went...Awwwww can I have one too! I think it's the expression on his most adorable face.
