Leon Red Bone (Hawk)

[user 7704]

Coming this weekend. I'm going to be so busy.

He is beautiful ❤ When my boys were young we had a female blood hound. One of the best dogs we ever had. Off the chart energy though but I had 3 young boys to keep her busy. She guarded those boys like no other.

Cute pup Robin. Have fun.

My Australian Shepherd mix is becoming mean. I walk into my son's room answer she goes after me. If she's in my room and he comes in her snaps at him. She has never played well with others. has been untrainable about jumping on my mom who is 88 next week. I think she is ill. Her hair is falling out by the handfuls and she got fat really fast. I don't want her biting someone and us getting sued. I'm conflicted.

Our very old male heeler is getting mean to our other dog, and they were raised together for the last 7 years. He also pees in his food dish after he eats. He can't hear much, and doesn't see well. I think he has dementia. Do dogs get demented? Maybe that's what's up with yours?

Could be.

My mom won't listen and feeds them dog Milk Bone type treats all day. I've told her to stop, but she won't. Could be messing with her liver. She threw up lots of yellow bile numerous times.

 

[Amish Heart]

Ours does that with milk products or fatty leftovers

I give my dog Pepcid AC when she throws up like that. It helps. I have a 14 year old Scottie male that I know will have to be put down soon. He can no longer hear and now I think his sight is going as well. He is looking pretty frail. He has always been meaner than a snake though and age has not improved his outlook on life. He is a one owner dog. Me and that is it . I have to be very careful with him around other dogs and people. BUT he is the best trained dog on the place.

Our old heeler gets a baby aspirin every day for his arthritis. It helps. He wouldn't be hurting so bad if he wouldn't of had so many fights over the years.

Robin, he’s so cute! I love him
And I’m jealous! I have already been looking for another pup myself but I board dogs for one of my jobs so I’m not sure if it’s a good idea just yet. My house would be a circus with all the kids and dogs lol

Well, my husband is on his way to breeders to pick him up. My sleep will be different for a few days until he is trained. I've always had a rather easy time training our retrievers. I've never had a hound before.

He found my spot on the couch. No more pictures. I promise..

Sure hope he grows into them legs

Pictures are good

Leon cried a little when I took him off the couch but then he slept all night until I started making noise at 5 a.m. he went out and did his jobs. Then he proceeded to drag me a dust mop, broom, stick of firewood which he shredded on couch, 2 balls and other toys. That seems more like a retriever behavior.

My Golden and Lab brought me umbrellas, oil filters, a deep fryer including basket, etc. It was always an adventure with them. The neighbor would make them sandwiches and they would carry them home to show me before they ate them.

 

[user 7704]

I read that they tend to latch on to one person and guess who that is. He has been by my side since 5 a.m. I had to hold his paw until he fell asleep. Boy he really has a distinctive howl. Very loud and pitiful. It was like his little heart was breaking. Mine sure was.

 

[user 7704]

This little guys sense of smell is amazing. He can get distracted by a scent very easily. If he smells my food, he is all over me.

No way. Send more. Many years ago I had a black and tan coon hound. Still miss that mutt.

 

[Mountain trapper]

I told the wife today that I need a new trap line dog. My old chocolate lab is getting too old to ride on the ATV or even in the snow cat.

 

[GaRp58]

Really miss my old dog too Arctic. She was half collie and half Belgian shepherd. Understood my english, hungarian from my wife and german from the kids. She would obey anyones commands if they were approved by the family and introduced to her, much like about a 5 year old child. She would open and close doors, turn on lights, get the mail, bring her bowl if hungry, dance with the kids at parties and got drunk with them, but only with Baileys, a coffee flavored type of liquor. She protected the kids from being followed at night and attacked a large man who was trying to get into the garden when my wife was alone one night in the back yard on the terrace. She would even go and find her collar and leash if we were going on a walk and could not remember where it was in the 4000 sq. ft house. Dogs are special, Cats have butlers, dogs have humans. gary

 

[Dani]

Haha!! Love that. Cats have butlers, dogs have humans.

Aww,, that's sad. My golden got to the point where I had to lift his hind quarters to get him up steps.

 

[user 7704]

Can't mop with the pup. He keeps attacking the mop. I guess a little mopping helps.

 

[user 7704]

Leon loves his Barney.

 

[bill harrell]

We had a pig named squeely ray vaughan. I can't find a pic though

 

[user 7704]

I'm going to have to put Leon's ears into a man bun because his ears stay in the water bowl. That has to be unpleasant.

No Arctic, I'm no going to do it. He might turn into Leona or something feminine.

On another note, his parents are both Grand Champions aND his sense of smell is amazing. If he does something wrong, I can put a drop of vinegar on my hand and get it within a foot of him and he stops in his tracks and barks at my hand. I don't want to jack up his olfactory sensors, so I only do it if he is totally being an ass.

Does this site censor all words they don't agree with? .A.S.S. Doesn't strike me as bad, but who am I?

 

[Mountain trapper]

Hey Robin, if you get tired of that mutt I'll take him off your hands.

 

[user 7704]

Hey Robin, if you get tired of that mutt I'll take him off your hands.

I'm exhausted. The other two dogs have not taken kindly to an intruder. I'm really shocked at the Lab/pyrenees mix. He is the calmest dog every and he's turn into Mr. Growl. The Australian Shepherd mix has lived upstairs for a week. All Leon wants is to play with them. Maybe they will acclimate soon.

Sadly, dog food makers only use minimum standards they set by them selves. They don't give a damn about dogs, only their profits. The best you can do is to make your own dog food. Like guns, good ones are not cheap. Cheap ones are not good. Between species there is no greater love than a man and a dog. As a youth I bought the cheapest dog food, figuring it had to meet standards. Wrong! Ask your vet. Most dog foods will cause cancer, thyroid problems, and premature death. Dog have been around a lot longer than humans. They ate what they killed. They did not harvest corn, wheat, or beets. Read labels. Spend a little more. We love dogs, they depend on us.
