My dad has this whole routine he and my brother taught his German Shorthair, Duck.


"Duck! What do you do when you see Dick Brown?!" (one of Dad's best friends and hunting buddy )

The dog drops to the floor looking big eyed.

"And what if he has a gun?!"

The dog smacks his head down to the floor, too.

"And what if that gun actually goes off?!" he then points his finger at the dog and says, "Bang!!"

Duck rolls over and plays dead. Laughing

Dogs can be so dog-gone much fun...

We had friends whose dog would 'smile', HMW. What they said was "give us your Pepsodent smile", and most of the time he would oblige.

I took the census in Wyoming in 1970. I covered the big Powder River country and ran into all kinds of dogs. The only one that bit me was a Dauchshund.

And here's his oddity:


He smiles. But only when he's really excited. Laughing In fact, the pic is slightly blurred because he was wiggling so bad. But I've never seen a dog do this when they weren't threatened, grumpy, whatever. For him it's only when he's happy/excited.


I had a male Aussie that would run out and sit next to the drivers side door of any car that drove in - He was all Smiles but No One would get out of their Car/Truck

The Bad one would sit at my side until I'd give him the word - then he'd jump on the hood and tear of the Wind-Sheld-Wripers

Very Happy Very Happy with out her knowing it - I taught my wifes Min-Pin to hate the wifes Monther - She [the dog] had to be locked up when ever my Mother-in-Law came round.
I'd just say - Cool "how dog are such a good judge of people" Exclamation Very Happy Very Happy

Personally I think it a BAD IDEA to let the same dog work Horses & Cattle Exclamation

Border Collies are always busy - My Angus/"Angus and/or" Eared Cattle" will not but-up with busy-dogs.

My dogs are quite around the livestock and do not up-set the cows - yet when you need the thy are there - Most Border Collie-Peole have to run back to the truck to get their dog - BC are good about not barking when they are working BUT if you chain them up it's Bark - Bark - Bark

Many Trainers let them get away with that! At Al Zuppin (sp) Seimars your are told "Shut That Dog Up or Leave" Exclamation

I Love Dog Stories Exclamation

We had a black lab that smiled but only when we returned home.
Never any other time which seemed strange.
However, if she'd done something bad while we were out, then
she wouldn't smile. She felt guilt better than some people!
