I have 13 golden retrievers — they eat 400 lbs of food a month and run my house

Collin Standon, 24, is living the dream after deciding to keep an entire litter of Golden Retriever puppies — in addition to the three dogs he already owned.

Standon, who lives in Texas, already was a pet parent to dogs Chloe and Sam — who later went on to have a litter of nine puppies — in addition to Chloe’s sister Emma. Later, he adopted Buddy from a shelter, so the golden retriever wouldn’t be put down.

Now, he has 13 fully grown dogs: Buddy, Chloe, Sam, Emma and the nine puppies, named Rocky, Moose, Raider, Cowboy, Pumpkin, Sunshine, Missy, Angel and Callie.

I loved my girl; lived to almost fourteen which is long for a border collie.

RE: My border collie trots to Tijuana but then comes right back to safety.

Far Side cartoon showed a bunch of dogs in disarray in a living room. One dog was saying “This party is totally out of control. Oh, thank goodness, here comes a border collie.”

Best dogs in the world.

You are a saint.

My girl knew phrases plus knowing the sound of either my car keys or my plane keys - knew which vehicle to head to.

Well one of the reasons why we live seperate...i might be a saint(not really)but i aint no martyr!

It could have been worse. Golden Retrievers are nice dogs.
Imagine a guy with 13 insane Pit Bulls in his house.

Sounds like a few fog dog people I know. They’re kind of dirty like horse people.

My sister bred show quality Irish Setters, sweet dogs, but stoopid... she had 12 or so, a few champions, good puppies, big kennel and fields to romp. She took really good care of her stock.

I went to visit, worked there for a couple weeks doing my electrical thing. Flew home went in my garage stripped naked went inside showered mightily. Went back into the garage layed all my packed clothes out, bombed the garage then hotbwashed everything the next day.

I had to be sure. Different strokes for different folks...

Male version of a cat lady, but they'll eat you faster if you die in the house.

They are. But he should get a couple of tennis ball machines.

So what! In an age where "look at me" is the raison d'etre for someone's existence, my response is get a life and leave the rest of us alone. Why should anyone give a damn what you do, have or say? Granted, our posts here on FR are infected with that thinking....

400 pounds in, 400 pounds out.

I had a three car garage and only my garage would alert "Dixie" (my border collie) to my arrival and she'd bounce to the door very excitedly in anticipation of my arrival.

Once my wife drove my car and took it into that particular garage. Dixie was not happy. My wife was even unhappier. Not a good day. Both my wife and my dog gave me the cold shoulder.

Minus urine

With eating 400 lbs of dog food a month, I can see another problem. If your lucky, it will be in the lawn.

[Round Earther]

Best dog trick ever.

They eat 400 pounds of food a month and poop 750 pounds.

For a time I lived downwind of one of the largest stockyards in the country.

Cattle, not kitties.

10,000 half-wild short-hairs couldn’t come close to that smell on a hot, breezy day.

If you die, they will eat you.
