The Dog Thread

Husker- I'm sure that's what he was thinking so I brought a chair out with me. 

We actually have two best friends the first is Molly our purebred Belgian throat ripper, this breed was developed during WWI for use in trench warfare. Most of the homicidal tendencies have been bred out

Posted before - 175 pounds of on the alert fury - Kally, defender of the castle only if you trip over her while she's asleep, which is most of the time!

@TigerTony‌ not the best quality pic of Jada standing but one I could locate on the external hard drive quickly. The Red boy below was the ultimate Dobie in my mind. Sadly I lost him early to liver disease. His name was Titus.

I'm still trying to find a fun pic to post. I have so many to scroll through (almost as many as my cooking pics ) ).
Here's one for Christmas (taken last year).

@NPHuskerFL‌ -- what a happy smile on that face! You gotta love that dog... so irresistible!

She's a baby girl we were able to adopt through ABMCR (American Belgian Malinois Club Rescue). Not promoting (okay ya I am because they are awesome and I support all they do).

Here's the first pic we had of her. Lili Ann was found abandoned behind a Home Depot in Homestead, FL she had just gave birth to puppies and the puppies were nowhere to be found (suspect she had the pups and then they dumped her---happens a lot in the Miami/Dade County area). She would've died had they not had a volunteer who went to the location daily to gain her trust and then lots of help at the Veterinarian. They are all chipped and people wanting to adopt must pass home study. We've had Mals for 22+ yrs now.
First Pic we saw of her :(


Daddy's girl ^~^

@Dobie -- Jada's  pose is outstanding. A relaxed posture but alert. Was that natural or did you position her for the photo? So well groomed, Gorgeous! 

....how you must miss your red boy Titus!

Beautiful man just beautiful!

We never taught her to pose as we didnt have the means to show her but its in her champion blood line. Thats just a pic snapped on some property my folks owned in TN a while back. Sadly now at age 8 shes got wobblers disease and must take a low dose of steroids daily now to keep her back legs working but its manageable with the drugs. The roids make them gain weight so shes not that svelt today. Titus was a decendant of the dog on the cover of this book pictured below. I had his breeder sign the book when I picked him up. It hurts me to think about him typing this, he was fantastic. Thanks so much for the kind words.

@Dobie‌ loss is the toughest part I couldn't agree more.

Here is my current rescue red boy Rusty. He was wandering some property on the westside of Jacksonville six years ago. Heartworm positive, coat blown out, scrawny and with some wood jammed in his upper mouth. No doubt he was trying to eat the wood from starving. He wandered up on a womans property with a lake but she was too poor to feed him and luckily called rescue and saved him. The saint that ran the rescue called me and told me about him and I went straight out there and adopted him that day heartworms and all. Rusty hit the lottery and now lives very well but I still feel like the lucky one. Hes not a confirmation dog like Titus was or Jada but hes a nice dog for coming off the street half dead. Someone spent some money on him initially as he had all his surgeries already done.

frog hunting.  he held point for atleast 20 minutes

II grew up with Brittanys.  My dad hunted exclusively with Britts.  It used to make my dad so angry that one of his dogs slept w me all the time.  He used to think that hunting dogs were not supposed to be that spoiled.  I couldn't help it! 

The no-good grid licker caught with the evidence.
