Dog vs lobster
 
The wife put a lobster, and then another on the floor to see what the dog
would do.
What a hoot...he kept going up to them woofing, backing off, howling a pit
and then repeating the sequence.

way.

I take the rubber bands off when I do that with my German Shephard Dog. It
doesn't matter, a lobster is the only thing I've ever seen scare him. He
won't go within 4 feet of the critter(s). I think he nudged one in the head
with his nose once, and the spines got him. Ever since then, he just stands
off and barks at it.

I always save a bit for him when we're done... sweet revenge. g

What does your GSD do when he hears thunder? My 110 lb GSD would would
try and get under the bed when he heard thunder, firecrackers or other
loud noises. He looked damn funny with his head under the bed and his
body, from the neck to the tail, sticking out.

Currently we have a Beagle mutt male. Worst thunder storm in the world
could go right over our house. He would just stand there.

Beagle's are interested in only one thing and that is eating. They ignore
all other stimulus.

I don't' know.

My neighbor used to have beagles, and they did a good job of howling
all night.

Occasionally he'd take them rabbit hunting, so he said. Actually I
think he kept them around just to bug the neighborhood.

We actually have two Beagle mutts. A male and a bitch. We got the male
first in 2003. and the bitch a couple of years later. The male thought
we were doing him a favor bringing a young babe into the house for him
to hump all day and all night. After two days of the male trying to hump
the bitch he has never tried again. We never say the scene where the
bitch laid down the law but, ever since then the male has had to deal
with being a notch lower on the totem pole. I guess that's why he chases
the cat around the house so much.

Ours Beagle's spend their time in the backyard squirrel hunting. They've
only caught one in two years. And, they only bark when a neighbor is
mowing the lawn or when the wife's car is driving down the street coming
home.

Beagles are hound dogs, and will pick up a scent and will follow it
forever, so they are a very popular dog for hunting.

I've a friend in Tennessee who raises and trains beagles for hunting. When
I once expressed an interest in buying one, he told me to never buy a
beagle that was even associated with hunting beagles. He said they'd drive
me crazy. Best to buy city born and bred from a line of city born and bred.

Don't know if that's true, but I took his advice.

Wife keeps talking about those Maine Coon cats... she wants something that
can stand up to the neighbours half dozen cats that are always in our back
yard.
Our 17 year old female is tiny, under 7 pounds, but she used to try to put
up a fight. Now she mostly sleeps or scolds the dog.

I take the rubber bands off when I do that with my German Shephard Dog.
It doesn't matter, a lobster is the only thing I've ever seen scare him.
He won't go within 4 feet of the critter(s). I think he nudged one in the
head with his nose once, and the spines got him. Ever since then, he just
stands off and barks at it.
What does your GSD do when he hears thunder? My 110 lb GSD would would try
and get under the bed when he heard thunder, firecrackers or other loud
noises. He looked damn funny with his head under the bed and his body,
from the neck to the tail, sticking out.
Currently we have a Beagle mutt male. Worst thunder storm in the world
could go right over our house. He would just stand there.
I always save a bit for him when we're done... sweet revenge. g
Beagle's are interested in only one thing and that is eating. They ignore
all other stimulus.

I don't' know.

My neighbor used to have beagles, and they did a good job of howling
all night.

Occasionally he'd take them rabbit hunting, so he said. Actually I
think he kept them around just to bug the neighborhood.


I've a friend in Tennessee who raises and trains beagles for hunting. When
I once expressed an interest in buying one, he told me to never buy a
beagle that was even associated with hunting beagles. He said they'd drive
me crazy. Best to buy city born and bred from a line of city born and bred.

Don't know if that's true, but I took his advice.


Our male, when he escapes, can be two miles down the road in 5 minutes.

We actually have two Beagle mutts. A male and a bitch. We got the
male first in 2003. and the bitch a couple of years later. The male
thought we were doing him a favor bringing a young babe into the
house for him to hump all day and all night. After two days of the
male trying to hump the bitch he has never tried again. We never say
the scene where the bitch laid down the law but, ever since then the
male has had to deal with being a notch lower on the totem pole. I
guess that's why he chases the cat around the house so much.

Ours Beagle's spend their time in the backyard squirrel hunting.
They've only caught one in two years. And, they only bark when a
neighbor is mowing the lawn or when the wife's car is driving down
the street coming home.


You need a full-sized Maine coon cat to straight out those pooches.


Once the current cat dies we are done with cats.



Too bad. Maine coon cats are great pets.


Our cat is too old to pee and crap outside. No more kitty kat crap boxes
in the house.

That's not true. You have to watch beagles, they'll dig under a fence
in a heartbeat if they get on a scent, and will follow it until you
never see them again!

Here's a couple replacements.

If you'd like, I could dress them out as rabbits, breaded and everything,
ready to fry. Our Safeway sells dry ice.

Or, I could ship 'em live, but that costs more.

Wife keeps talking about those Maine Coon cats... she wants something that
can stand up to the neighbours half dozen cats that are always in our back
yard.
Our 17 year old female is tiny, under 7 pounds, but she used to try to put
up a fight. Now she mostly sleeps or scolds the dog.




Shop carefully. Properly bred Maine coon cats are quite a bit larger
than ordinary house cats.

We have a runt of the litter Maine coon cat we saved from the outdoors.
He's an absolutely terrific little cat, clean, smart, fast, and
people-oriented.

He just looks in the direction of the noise. My last GSD did as yours, and
went for cover. This one has a rock solid temperment. The breeder we got him
from does a wonderful job, breeding for temperment and work. I started
training him for Schutzund, but I didn't have the patience for the tracking
part of it.

When you go to the dog pound you will see many dogs. If you count the
number of beagles you will soon learn all you need to know about the
breed.

Our friends had a beagle until last year. Died of old age years wise, never
grew beyond puppyhood. Would get out to scavenge the neighborhood for food.
Had bagel in the mouth when a car hit him. Would not give up the bagel.
Still clamped on it at the vets. Got in to the freezer one time and ate a
pound of butter and 1/4 of a frozen turkey. We called Lance, Butterball
after that episode.

My son's Brittany disappeared. Four months later the pound called. He
had that little microchip that tells who owns the dog when pinged
electronically. We think someone stole the dog.
