Here's the promised video even though it doesn't seem to be of much interest... ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_mms-19h40

He used up all his energy going crazy about the young boar before, I guess... Gotta post that vid soon, it was really fun. :D His prey drive is a little on the low side. Mice and squirrels drive him nuts and birds sometimes a little, but everything …

Since we were out in a small area where wild animals live - fenced and not fenced - and I took some vids, I just wanted to share. Just have one finished already, but some more will follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4OMViaysiY

Lisa, I'd like to put my sign under your comment! (And under Brad's too.) :)

"Perhaps we do not see male-male aggression here because we do not allow them to compete over breeding rights (or any other "rights", like food), we remove the stimulus, and so they do not learn the need to compete over females. This,…

Do you really think, that males only detect females as possible mating partners when they are in heat? Until now I always thought it didnt have to be... Like the female scent identifies them as "worthy" and the heat-scent giving the reason…

First: I'm not sure, if we really are on different tracks or if it just appeals to be, because we misunderstand each other in details... Please keep in mind, that english is not my mother tongue and even though I give my very best I might make some …

"Laura, the thing about the pain in the back where the needle went in is really scary. It is one of the bad reactions Akitas can have as noted in the Dodds article I linked, and what I find particularly scary about it is that sometimes this lea…

"Your argument is based on the assumption that all dogs of the same sex view resources equally and also don't view dogs of the opposite sex as competitors for those resources." Erm... no? My assumptions are that there is an evolutionary r…

Erm... Be careful to not make a type II error... ;) Same-Sex-Aggression (I'll cut it to ssa, alright?) indeed does make sense to some point. Of course not in a pack, since the dogs have to get along with each other, but towards stranger dogs this is…

Now, that's interesting, since in Germany, which borders Denmark, we have six diseases that are commonly vaccinated against. They are rabies, distemper, parvovirosis, leptospirosis, hepatitis and parainfluenza. If you want to join any puppy-classes …

Bulldogs, pugs and other dogs with similar faces look (and sound) as if they were growling and threatening all the time, so a dog that is not used to this can easily turn frightened or aggressive, because it "misunderstands" the body-langu…

I don't know about other dogs, but my Etsu certainly divides strongly between sexes. Females are allowed to do nearly everything. Only if someone gets the "great" idea to feed them next to each other he'll snap, if it's not one of his best…

"I don't know that dogs really recognize difference in breeds--perhaps more difference in size, but likely not breed." I would disagree with you... Perhaps they wouldn't see a difference between Malinois and dutch Shepherd, but the differe…

Oh, I didn't know that! Thanks for telling me! :)
-
Good question... It's hard to tell since Etsu is concentrating more on the gender than on the breed... ;) He is very tolerant about Papillons, even with males, maybe because he grew up with one? He doesn't like toy breeds and gets along better with …
-
I don't know any other breed than the chow having a blue tongue, so I'd say the "asian" look comes from a chow, not a kai. Malinois do have brindle, don't they? So it might be some chow/malinois-mix?
-
Oh, I see... Thanks Beth!

Wow... Brad, the second photo looks absolutely like a wolf... Awesome! *love* And the rest of the Shikoku-pics on this thread looks beautiful too... Either you're all great photographers or your dogs are just beautiful... ;) Only Kekko's head looks …
-
Oh, I was the first to vote, I guess... :D Mental exercise. Etsu can run and play for hours, but 20-30 minutes of mental exercise and he's absolutely done...

Dave, why is the AKC so bad?
