Now you know ping.
He is 50% great Pyrenees, 25% Lab, and 25% Spaniel. I bought him a kiddy pool because it is hot, and he is part water dog. (I think Spaniels are water dogs). He did not like the water, but he ate the pool.
6 Months old, and 45 lbs. He is very loving as long as the sun is up. At night time though, watch out!
Dogs are just not the pickiest eaters.
Saying a spaniel is a water dog is liking say Obama is socialist/Marxist, duh. I have an English Springer and Welshie and you couldn’t them out of the pool with an electric fence.
Jack Russels! Just love ‘em!
One is a Corgi/JRT mix. They have different play/fighting styles. The male is a stick and jab fighter but the female is all brute force.
My sister has two Jack Russels. She got them because she wanted dogs she could carry around in her purse. I think one weighs 30#, and the other (obviously not a pure bred) tips at about 45#.
She loves them beyond reason anyway.
What, she had to go through a TSA screening?
I always share my bananas with my dogs. But I’ve never had a dog who would eat an orange.
My last dog loved corn on the cob and would hold it with her paws and pick the kernels off.
I used to take her with me to the local farmer’s market and she treated it like a buffet eating all the fallen produce.
Pardon me, I thought this was a thread about the new head of the DNC.
He looks like an enormous Lab, though, and as a young puppy helped boost my self-esteem via the neighborhood ladies flirting with me. Now, not so much.
Also, as a kid I was told Spaniels had a rep as being very dumb because they were bred for the coat and not their brains. I got my pup(s) from a farm, though, and they were intended to work, not be pets.
This pup has a sibling from the same litter who looks/behaves nothing like her brother. I think they have different fathers. She is 50% terrier, I think, and 25% lab and 25% spaniel. She is the evil one of the two, and looks kinda like a dobie/shepherd mix.
Training is difficult because the Pyr just wants to please, and the other one wants to gnaw.
The Pyr gets his feelings hurt when I yell at him. He is very sensitive. The other one is pure punk rock: does not give a darn. Also, they are currently digging several holes to China in my back yard. Looks like war zone. I had to build a fence around my veg garden, as they will eat it.
I’ve never had a dog that would eat a mushroom.
Once had a dog who would spit out peas (boy after my own heart)
Last two dogs love raw turnip (chunks have a tendency to fly off the counter when I cut those :)
Don’t feed them grapes. My dog used to love it when I washed grapes to bring for lunch and throw her some from the other room. She’d go 8 for 10 in catching them and eating them.
I later found out they damage dog’s kidneys.
My mastiff loves raw oranges, I give him a slice out of every one I peel. He chews the thing. I know grapes and raisins are bad for dogs, not sure about oranges so I only give him one slice. I also give him a bite of apple, a bite of watermelon or other melon. I am guessing that at 223 pounds, a small amount of something like that will probably be okay. Pumpkin is another favorite of his, cooked without the spices.
He’s 7 yo, never has been sick except for diarrhea when he eats corn cobs. I also do not give him broccoli, although he would love it, because if he eats anything with beans he gets REALLY bad gas. Any gas causing foods = NOT GOOD.
He loves corn on the cob, can’t give it to him because he eats the cob, and it gives him diarrhea.
