Saint Bernard General Discussions / Re: Advice on Dogs in bed...
« on: December 21, 2006, 12:58:35 am »
Often they say a dog shouldn't sleep in your bed because it can create dominance issues. I think you are seeing that when he gets back into bed with you.

Lucah sleeps in his pin in the living room. He actually likes his space as we have learned when we lay with him on the couch. Usually he gets up on his own an moves away. In the morning after he goes out and eats breakfast he can come on the the bed and snooze with us, but never sleeps there overnight.

I would just make the floor a better place, make sure he has a bed he likes put treats there. And work on a command for getting off the bed. That will make it easier when he gets on the bed to get him off.

Unless the house burnt down I don't see how you could have known. You shouldn't feel bad.

I don't know anything about horses, but it seems like a pretty one.

Old English Mastiff Pictures / Lucah's New bed
« on: December 20, 2006, 04:33:28 pm »
Well after a month and a half on a tri-fold mat, Lucah has recieved a new bed. I managed to find a woman who wanted to get rid of her full size futon. The great thing was she didn't want any money for it! All I had to do was drive over to Topanga to pick it up. Maybe a half hour of my time.

With that our boy now has a new bed that he can grow into. He seems to like it and it works great in his pen.

Below is a pic of Lucah and his mommy enjoying the new bed. I think Akiko likes it more than Lucah.

I like to go to epinions.com when I have questions about this stuff. It let's you search with a bunch of diiferent specs and you can see real-world review.

Rare Breed Mastiff Discussions / Re: Canis panther

I WIKI'ed this breed, they seem a little like a Cane Corso. I am sure with training these are great dogs. It seems like they are very trainable.

But the whole mixing of several different strong breeds seems tricky.  In the wrong hands there could be some real problems.

That is really cute.

Lucah will take a toy out of his pen play with it for 5 minutes and then go get another toy.  By the end of the night he has all of his toys in one spot in the living room. Even at the dog park he will gather lose balls from all over the park. By the end of his session he usually has 3 or 4 balls corraled in one corner of the park.

No much of a fetcher, more of a herder.

I too like spicy foods, I am glad to hear that if your pup accidentally tastes something spicy they will live. Very funny story!

We had a great time! Thanks Jaime and Michael for setting up the date. We were really happy to finally meet Bear. Talk about a big paw!

It happens all the time to Lucah.  He just kicks and yelps.  One time he was barking, but he wasn't moving his mouth. It looked really cool, but I wondered what he was thinking about.

Treatment & Preventative Meds / When to Neuter?
« on: December 07, 2006, 06:38:39 am »
We have been researching and have found many conflicting opinions about when to neuter a big paw. Some say do it early for easy recovery, others say to wait until they are well into growth, mainly because various immunities are developed from testosterone and other homones that are affected by neutering.

Just so you know I am not interested in the size affects.  I don't think it matters or that neutering will affect that.

Opinions? Knowledge and experiences?

Behavior, Housebreaking, Obedience / Re: embedded collar question

Lucah would do this at first...it seemed to bother him to be pulled.  After some treat training he would follow and wouldn't resist the pulling. I guess he got it in his head that if he is being tugged somewhere then it wasn't bad.

We tried the pumpkin thing and man does it work.  We get way better consistancy and frimness.  It really helps.  We are transitioning out to a new food, but pumpkin will be a constant in his diet for now on.
