My Golden Retriever pup has a stone for a head
Monday, February 3, 2003 by IPlural | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Why is it that smart dogs can be so contrary?
Why is it that puppies think anything that doesn't move is food, and anything that doesn't move fast enough will soon become food?
Why is it that a 8 month old pup runs into a dog one third its size it shys away from it and yet it thinks when you raise your voice after saying, let go of my pants for the 10th time, you really mean, now try and yank my feet from under me?
How come he can flop over, and I mean just kind offlop over like the guy on Laugh In used to do on the tricycle, slam his head into a door hard enough it wakes everyone in the house and he just gives you a "What?" look and closes his eyes and goes to sleep?
I dunno, but being a dog looks better and better

I just got a Lab 2 weeks ago. My brother's girl gave her to us. Her name is Crystal but I'm thinkin about changing it.
She is about 4 months now. I was always a fan of Rottweilers and never had anything but. But man is this dog active! I might get another Rott also.
One of the reasons is this dog will be a wuss also when it comes to guarding and protecting and that's what I want.
I really hear you IPlural. I love when she dives on me on the couch. 3/4 of the couch will be empty but she will decide to go over me. She is very smart though and was house trained in 2 days. I also taught her sit, lay down and paw and other paw in one day.
But like I said she is a retriever and very active! Sometimes I wish I just had a lazy Rott! She gets alot of exercise though and is very cut and strong.
I'm gonna host a picture and show you her the first day I got her.

yeah they do, Boomer is my second, the first was stolen by a friend fomr someone who was trying to make a guard dog for construction sites out of him. Sam, I had him for 13 year and he was fantastic with kids for sure, he would ruff and roll in the dirt with me one moment and then lay down and my son would crawl over and bite his nose and pull his ears.
even after everything he had gone through in the first year of his life he was fantastic.
Boomer was one of the last in his litter because he was so in control of the play pen
He is so freaking smart, and yet stubon as can be, almost like he has a rock between his ears
Poppy's a sweetie
I've got my network all stripped down and office turned inside out still, but will have to get boomers pic online soon " I am going to put his fathers pic for my desktop screen shot for the time being though, he is going to look exactly like him

My brothers got a Newfie, sucker is 159 lbs !!! and still growing and not fat either!
WHen he was little I used to let him pull on my shoe strings, now he attempts to yank me off the couch
Rotts are smart and loving too, Labs and Golden's can be protective, though it is not the norm I guess, mostly how you raise them I think.
They pretty much stay pups in the head up until around 3 years of age of a little after and then calm a bit, well some
oh, and water! Boomer's in hog heaven living here in Florida with the gulf almost in our back yard.

Here's a couple of pics of my Lab the first day I got her alittle over 2 weeks ago. She got her mouth on everything

She has gotten alot bigger.
IPlural, about this comment:
"They pretty much stay pups in the head up until around 3 years of age of a little after and then calm a bit, well some"
I was really afraid to hear that. I've heard that from quite a few people. She's starting to calm down but this dog is filled with so much energy. Like I said I've only had Rotts and am not used to this. I mean it's all good but SIT DOWN sometimes !

No IPlural, this dog will follow me to the bathroom and open the door on me and come in . Everytime. I have to lock it now.
If she's in my room half asleep and I go to another room she will always follow. She has to know what's goin on.
Great dog though. Can't wait till I get a Rott and have 2 to watch after.

Reply #17 Tuesday, February 4, 2003 12:46 AM that Butt in the Air nawing on "fill in the blank" is classic
Then they stop and don't move, and you look and they are looking right at you in the eyes, and you can see the thoughts form as they look away and then kind of drift over and let you know "HEY lets play"

That would be really cool for her and you and your family really Her disposition will be a factor in the Rott's mental development socially and there will also be the natural protective nature there also
bye the way she is a sweetie too like poggy

That's a very interesting point.
I was thinking about that and I think they would get along great. Both great dogs.
I've never had two dogs but I should be able to handle it. Too bad dogs aren't allowed in the park around the corner. Now they made a little area.
Suprisingly, this Lab never gets car sick. Forget about the Rott I had before this dog.

Thing is, I like her that way, I have two small children and her temperament is just fantastic with the kids! She is almost 3 years old now, but this is what she looked like as a pup..... http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/6235
Retrievers Rule!!
