Dogs and bitches

Bonesetta is on me to get a puppy, wants a bloody chocolate Dachshund. I'm saying no way as I would want something else and more importantly I think it would be a hassle for us at times. So I've said we either move to NZ or I retire, then we can get a dog of her choice.
Like the look of the IG thought...I once met a choxy that was bloody cool too.

If you like running, IGs are awesome. We used to get 4-5 kms in together every morning, then she'd sleep the rest of the day.
They are also funny as shit when they get zoomy, and they are quiet, don't shed much (basically nothing) and are super snuggly.
God I wish I'd had her when I was single... fuck me, not just a a set opener, they come to you 'Oh, you're dog is so cute'...
Zoomies look like this:

okay, so the family has worn me down to the point where i am considering getting a dog
And if i am getting a dog, i want a German Shepherd. Because they are boss as fuck.
Is this a fucking stupid idea? Anyone had one?
Shit, same! I really want a GS too! Though we won't be getting one until Dec/Jan.
I haven't seen many around Sydney and wondered if they didn't love the heat?
Such wicked animals
I think the long haired GS suffers a bit with heat. It can be very thick. Hips are sometimes a problem so if getting a pup do your due diligence on the parents and have the pup itself checked out properly.
thaaaaat may be an issue here.
Yeah, you’d think! Get a native breed. Maybe a dingo. You could call it, oh I don’t know... Deans?
dingo puppies are unreal cute. The two we have at one of our wildlife parks were beautiful. They are still not bad now.
How old are your kids? Just asking.
you would think too old
but some of the stories you hear out of Fraser Island...
Did a short kayak excursion from Kingfisher 18 months ago. Guide, a reasonably solid bloke, was telling us a story how he was out walking one time and this big fuck-off alpha dingo chased him into the water and stalked him along the shore. Scary.

When we were there we had this big dingo lurking around near us on the beach. Just kept wandering at a distance and staring. I took some photos of it and then a few days later we were somewhere else and a story came up about an attack on a kid. The description of where it happened was right near where had been and sure enough when I compared the markings on the dog they were the same.

You can see why they eat kids - they're hungry.

we bought a staffy

Best possible choice.
There's been some weird virus scare around where I am currently, visiting the family in NZ - and I got stranded with my sister and her 3 kids who I normally see once a year, and her two staffies.
Two months of those staffies has been awesome. -
My youngest's birthday today, and he found out we're getting a dog
He burst in to tears he was that happy
Definite parenting win today

When do you get him / her? Assuming it is a puppy?
All shoes, socks , etc need to be out of reach. Buy toys and chewy treats. Get some for the dog too.

Blue Staffy. Female

My pup keeps bloody growing like crazy.
We booked air tickets to go to Qtown a while back and decided to fly the dog with us. Since booking he has outgrown the travel crate we had and is now over the weight we had booked. Going to cost us at check in!On the good side he has great taste

Just to bring it all down a notch, my 12 year old Jack Russell bitch died of natural causes this morning. Law of the jungle says she should have gone years ago, but nature couldn't keep this one down🙂
Hell of a hunter who survived being run over, having a stillborn removed ( half in, half out, yeesh!), snake bites and a million dogfights with street dogs. Clever wee bugger but never to be trusted alone around kids as they were just bigger prey to her ( sort of).
Greatest thing having a cool dog. Worst thing is outliving them all the time.
Please give your own dog an affectionate pat for me 🙂👍

Great looking pooch mate. Our black lab now has two slight scars on his snout and one on his lip we’re hoping will not be permanent. Got tagged by a staffie on the beach the other day. Bloody thing had apparently had a go at a puppy only moments before. The damn owners couldn’t give a fuck, well she couldn’t and her beta-cuck husband just complied. Owners. It’s rarely the dog but always something to do with the owners. fluffybunnies.

Yeah there are plenty of dickwads with dogs.
I especially like the ones that watch their mutt run 50 metres at you while you are putting yours on a lead so it doesn’t do similar.
Mine is pretty good and going well on training but still has a 6 month olds brain and can let excitement get the better of him. It’s my responsibility to watch for that and keep control. Doesn’t help when other fuckers do nothing
