Hounds are amazing but they need some sort of job. My first hound went crazy because I was clueless. He started hunting his own shadow and braying at the wind. Well, not really crazy as he was just doing what came natural.
on the homeowners thing. There's a sherriff that comes in to work almost eveery day and he was talking about a raid they did. Because of home owners stuff, they had to take a lady's pitt she had owned for YEARS and have it put down because the dog was illegal in the complex and people kept calling. It's sad.
I don't think it can be said enough that it's all in the training, really. I would just like to go places and have people come over without them immediately telling me I shouldn't have Blue simply because of his breed. They're more weary of him, a wagging puppy, than the dog in the crate/muzzled on a short leash. I've had people walk way around me with Blue but come right up when I have Trixie, even though she's got all her gear it still worries me. For the most part if she goes with me she gets left in the truck (unless it's WAYY too hot then she's either brought in (if allowed) or left at home. "Can I pet you're dog?" no. She will bite. Oi think you've got them wrong it's that bull dog that will."
okay. I'm done ranting, I swear. I think I will get pictures of Blue and Trixie (the heeler) and Titan (my ridgeback cross) in their morning sunningspot... Because normally the chickens, ducks, guineas, and cats are all around them and or on top of them at that point just because I feel the need to show at least one more of Blue being a sweetie. Right now he's laying next to me sleeping, with the babie chicks I just got monday sleeping between his legs. I know when I move for the pic he will get up but I will try to snap it.
