I have a heeler/bc cross that used to love to hunt down in the prairie dog town south of our house. Until she got hit by a snake who apparently had the same favorite past time. we gave her a little PN, let her swell up and deflate and she's been fine ever since. But she doesn't hunt PD's...

Please tell me those are imperial gallons! :wink:

My son told one of his classmates in Sunday School one day that he shouldn't tell people to "shut up"; only dogs. :lol:

You've never lived with one, have you. :wink:

The guy my husband worked for the summer between highschool and freshman year of college killed his horse with a tie down. They were chasing cows and the boss ran down through a creek. His horse tripped, couldn't get his head up and piledrove himself into the bank on the opposite side.

"won't chew off the mailman's arm..." :lol: Yeah, that's kind of my philosophy, too. Blue heelers, for example, are probably the best cattle dogs I've ever watched. But I've known far too many that simply could not be trusted around kids. So we make the trade-off for a possibly softer...

I always resize in my photo software. Somewhere you should have a pull down option of "resize". How did you shrink the top one, though? there's a bumper sticker: My border collie is smarter than your honor student. :wink:

What a doll! What is she? My guess is either border or Aussie... Our first working dog was a BC that came from parents who were litterally the breeder's right hand. The three of them could clean out a section or two of fairly rough pasture by themselves. We never taught Bax anything. He...

'97 F250 Powerstroke, manual We get 18mpg empty, and about 13 with a trailer. It doesn't seem to matter if we're pulling our little 16' Hart with a couple of horses, or a 26' stock trailer stuffed full of cows. Both are GN. (We've never pulled an aluminum trailer, so i don't know the...

I'd never even heard of this breed, so was curious and did a little Googling. I happened to trip across this forum: http://www.lacydog.com/phpbb/index.php BTW, your pup is adorable.

Everyone has probably seen this a million times, but I really like the Rainbow Bridge. Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our...

From what i've heard, it's supposed to keep the horses's face in the control range of your reins. Ie, a tie down prevents him from throwing his head up and ignoring you (and possibly running away). But of course if your horse is always doing this, fine tuning his training is a better choice...

My grandpa-in-law had a Percheron stud out with his mares for years because he wanted to end up with horses that would cover ground as well as work cows. He gave me one of those colts as a wedding present. He's certainly not the cowiest thing I've ever been on, but he's steady and has a lot of...

:lol: Of our five, only the kids' miniature pony is papered. And he's worth about as much as Alpo on the hoof. :wink:

The lesser half has a horse that is built a lot like a moose with a big Roman nose and half his tail cropped off. He is the ugliest thing... But he's full of character and has the same attitude as your mare. He'll run all day until you pull him in. At 25, that quality is starting to make...

Frankly, I think she's mistaken on a few things, too. But, the fact that she has come up with theories means people need to stop and consider why they might be right or wrong. Instead of just doing it this way because that's how dad and grandpa both did. :wink:

She's probably right. But I think labs also tend to be one of those breeds where you can still trust the vast majority with your kids. Even if they are fat. :wink: On a side note: Temple Grandin is a prof over at CSU in Ft. Collins. One of the guys that does day help for us took a seminar...

I like to make that point that my kids have peed on the floor about as many times as my dogs. That's why they invented those nice enzyme-based cleaners. But more importantly, the dogs don't draw on the walls. The dogs have never burned a hole in the carpet with an iron. The dogs have never...

Just what I was thinkin', kola. 8)

Most folks I know don't care so much about registration as they do about ability of the parents. Our McNab is actually a cross. His mama is pure McNab, his daddy a heeler/BC cross but a working fool. When we went to get our pup, he was the last of the litter and she actually had a waiting list...
