Storm_11wks_vs_11mnths by Simon Cox, on Flickr

Self explanatory - but shows the colour change well despite being in B&W.

Looks a bit "mugshotty" but that accurate as she's just eaten an important letter about my jury service on monday...

Come on then Mr B, anymore pictures of Dray smile So what was his story, have you had him long? Is he good with other Dogs?
Hi,

We've had him since beginning of June, they the RSPCA think he's about 4 however my wife works for a vets and they remember a litter of these about 2 years ago in the area and being quite rare he could be from that litter.

He was rescued from an owner who had already been banned from keeping dogs as they had too many kept in a confined space after a tip off the RSPCA revisited the house to find Dray and three Great Danes all under the same roof.

He's a brilliant dog and has settled in very well, his bark was quite odd initially like he had a sore throat we think he'd been told off for barking, probably as the owners didn't want people to know they were keeping dogs again so didn't bark much but that seems fine now. He was quite thin but since filled out and he loves his food any food, again we think he didn't get much or had to compete with the other dogs, don't know. Weighs in at 67kg now.

Whilst he was with the RSPCA we were told he was fine with other dogs but we've found on our walks he can be a bit of a handful, he's very strong. Mind he's much better when off the lead. He was attacked last weekend by a Staffy that's probably not helped so we're not sure about this. He seems to get very excited at first when he sees another dog but soon settles down and doesn't pay much attention but again it's all a bit unknown at this stage.

He's very lazy loves his sleep and his grub and great with people, will say hello have a sniff then go and lay down.

Glad you like him.

Dodge will be 3 in March, he was the runt of the litter, his brothers and sisters are about a 3rd bigger than he is. He weighs in at 45k, the original owners wanted a boerboel and first got his brother, (they also had a female rottweiler), then a couple of months later they had a call from the breeder saying she had one dog left so they decided to take that one too! Needless to say two male dogs and a female rottweiler was a recipe for disaster and dodge's older brother attacked him almost ripping off his right cheek, puncture wounds to his ears, tearing his right eye socket and a few other bite wounds to his body.
When we visited the property the dogs were separated by a sheet of 8ft x 4ft ply stuck across the door with dodge being in the small hallway and the other two dogs being in a very small kitchen/lounge.

We took him away there and then. The wounds have now healed up and you would not really know, apart from small dots of white hair where the puncture wounds were in his right ear. He is the perfect dog in that I can take him to the pub, he just walks in and lays on the floor and people just step over him. Zero aggression, even comes into the back room with his tail between his legs if the postman puts a letter through the front door. He does not come upstairs and does not chew up anything unless we give him his own squeaky toys to play with. He is cautious with little children so I always make sure they ask me if they can touch him, he prefers Adults to kids.

got me thinking about my old friends who are no longer with me. We had our first rescue Dog in 1996 and we have had 6 all together and still have 3 still with us aged from 2 years to 12 years and they have all got on so well together despite a couple of them having serious problems.

This is where it started for us in 1996 with the happiest Dog in the world despite having one leg 3 inches shorter than his others.

Had a nice 5 mile walk (him, about 10 miles..) nearly back at the car and he finds a bog that's probably been undiscovered since the Jurassic age...



Seriously getting to love this bundle of curls.

They are getting on very well. He's 3 and a bit

Early morning and late at night she pushes her luck, she is absolutely relentless with no off button. He starts to get a bit fed up but never lays a paw in her just warns her. She of course ignores him and carries on, so we separate them and he complains and wants her out again. rolleyes

She's like him 10 minutes and she's back to full speed but she sleeps all night. Training going well however if she wants something and she wants everything she going to get it by any means. She's smart very smart velociraptor smart. She's great and I'm not complaining but she's frigging hard work. She's lightening fast and leaps higher than you can imagine. You can't do anything , move anywhere without her being there.

Finally asleep will let her out in a few hours then she'll be down all night.
