Dingo got her Novice Trick Title this weekend! We are only two away from Intermediate and two from Advanced but we know what to work on and will nail them. We were also the only ones, of 5 dogs/handlers, at agility practice this weekend who got through the course entirely the first time. This pooch makes my heart swell with pride!



@Kaiser2016 and @Tropicalbri's you're both right. I'm the only one away from the situation (my sister and brother still live at home) and they've tried to intervene without success. I think when we go home over Christmas, I need to do something. Most importantly: come up with a budget for my mom, sister and brother. I try to live without drama which makes this even more frustrating I know there are worse and more legit problems to have so I really appreciate the feedback!

Much needed change of scenery today for Eliana and the kids. Took them to a fenced in play ground and let them all loose. All the girls spent most of our time in the leaves

They love playing in the leaves! I can't wait until the trees in my neighborhood are big enough for this.

A quick visit to our food stockist this morning

welp... was hoping to join a Labrador Forum similar to this one to get some info on training/raising/blah blah blah the new pup, posted a few pictures of Dingo and pretty much immediately got flack for: ears, tail, prong and e-Collars. Not many US folks on that forum, apparently, and lots of claws. Guess we'll move along. Look at this tortured soul...

Unfortunately there are a lot of forums like that, which is why I love our community here.

What do you mean you have to leave again?

 

[Brioddy]

@LifeofRubie you got a lab puppy? How did I miss this and where is his or her sweet face?

Also... lots of claws? I am lost on that one lol

We are getting one!! Still working out a breeder, at this time, but it's in the works!

Snippets but in order. *sigh*....

Good grief. That's why I turn around and head right back out the door at places like that.

A little play time before I have to head out again.

I best not join a UK Dobermann forum...they’ll crucify me.

Looks like you had a lashing from the anti C/D brigade. Such a shame

Ares is my cuddle bug lol I swear he's perfect, kicks butt in schutzhund but is also the most gentlest boy I've never had a dog so freaking versatile

I cannot begin to tell you how angry that makes me. Those comments they made to you, a new member are UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Just makes me value our community even more. I think I would have thrown my iPad across the room if they said that to me!!

Were they Canadians? Haha. Aren't Labs supposed to be easy? Seriously. I always thought that's why they were so popular...

Lol people are stupid. They don't realize that spaying and neutering are "elective" as well and far more painful and invasive. Most people think the practice is ok to reduce pet over population, truth of the matter is most people are idiots and not responsible owners so that's why the practice exist. Cropping and docking actually serves a real purpose, plus there is always the fact that floppy ear are just not natural and a human bred deformity. Trust me I've argued with those same types of idiots and when they get beat in their ignorance it's pretty funny lol @MischasMomma fought with me lol

Funny how they push the "positive only" approach. Maybe they ought to try that on humans! That is a relentless crowd. Wow.

Phew. They weren't Canadian

I agree with you, but the visual just made me

I am VERY quickly realizing this place is quite a delightful exception!

I was actually wondering if you'd encountered anything like this yet with sweet Tara

It almost ruined my morning! But then Rubie and I went outside and did some POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT training while she was wearing her e-Collar to keep her from running out of the yard and into traffic and thought, Eff them.

They're basically from everywhere but North America, it seems. And yes, labs are wired to please their people, less stubborn, and not as highly 'intelligent' as Dobes but perhaps with more common sense - that's what the breeder we talked to admitted haha. The breeder says that they too use e-Collars when in the field for safety reasons so are fine with those. Derp.

We didn't even get on the topic of spaying and neutering... THANK GOODNESS.

There is literally no point in even putting up a fight, they are so damn brain washed in their own stupid bs that when met with a logical argument they can't function.
