Well you know the story behind redboy and how he was suspected to be of OFRN blood and not what his ped reads.
Now if I could find me a good redboy bitch to put him on top of I would be good to go. WIth out the jeep tho
Fun Sunday night story -- so, now that we have a massive FENCED IN yard, the bf has gotten into the habit of simply letting our housedog out to roam as she pleases and leaves the backdoor open for her to come back on her own. It had been a good twenty minutes or so, and I decided she'd been out long enough (letting any of the dogs out without keeping a strict eye on them ALWAYS makes me a bit uncomfortable), so I step out onto our back patio to call her in and almost get immediately RUN OVER by a huge white tail deer -- it veered at the last second and jumped over a table the bf had under there for cutting boards for houses, with my housedog running up under the table to keep up -- as soon as it landed, she was on it again. She stayed with the deer, getting various holds on it until it cleared the fence on the other side of the yard, she never did get a leg to take it down, but she took a GOOD few chunks out of it. She's 40# soaking wet, and will be EIGHT YEARS OLD next week. She acts all geriatric in the house and moves like molasses in wintertime, UNTIL you take her outside and she finds something to hunt. I was SO impressed and proud of her -- she's lived her entire life on the couch and has never come into contact with anything like a deer, and at her first sighting, she almost took it down on her own!! Such a good ole' girl
That's her a couple of weeks back, dragging downed trees around the yard -- she'd found a chipmunk nest in there. She quickly cleared them all out.
Her back in December, hunting squirrels. Those bushes are VERY dense, so that's about four feet of air she got there. She's never been formally worked in her life, and has a congenital heart defect, and she's still one of the most NATURALLY FIT dogs I've ever seen.
Love too see dogs as old as this in perfect condition. Hats off on a job well done.
QCKLime, now that's a story of a dog living and loving its life!
One of the things that always bothered me as a breeder, back when I had a huge yard, was all of these wonderful dogs "just sitting there" on a chain and never really getting to enjoy themselves as individuals. Yeah, they would run around barking, digging, and whatnot, but they never really got to enjoy what it felt like to run free and just have a blast. The paradox was, in order to build a bloodline I had to have a lot of "genetic options," and yet in having a huge yard I made every dog a prisoner who could never just run around and enjoy itself as a "doggie."
I much prefer having 7-10 dogs now (rather than 30-80), because I can even take them out in groups because most get along. I live on 50 acres and have about 3 of it cleared off, and every day I let the dogs who get along (say a female and some of the young pups) run all over the place and have a blast. It is hilarious to watch them sometimes, and the dogs who "don't get along" get put up while the others are running around ... and then they get their own time too, after the others are done.
So ... nice story :grin:

We have a few older dogs too. This is one of them. 10 years old. Still acting like a pup.
Beautiful dog Skipper.
He looks like a smart, calm dog
