My dog is cute

I like and respect standard poodles, but those bloody little yappy b*st*rds that they call toy poodles are, as one article put it, good only to be chopped up and fed to real dogs. :D
 
My kids at a year old (and 300+ combined lbs. hehe.) I give you the
"BoerBoels"....a fairly rare breed of south african mastiff. Terrors in the yard and babies in the livingroom :-).
Shombay and Luma

Loandr. ;)

Enjoy

"Shombay" means "He whom walks like lion"... he is the #232 Boer Boel in the US (proud papa here )

"Luma Zulu"(we just call her luma) means Biting Warrior (she had the name when we got her from africa) she's the MOST gentle!(he can be a bit of a nitemare at times :-)....little kids just hang from her lips :-) She is the 3rd. Brindle and like the #454 in the country for the breed in the US. shombay was born here in the states. Got both about 6 weeks old. Thanks for listening.
Not as cute as some of the above BUT will always be my "baby monsters" as we say.

*AND yes, they have toys...BIGGER than toy poodles :-)

I call 'em cat food.
 
My dad and I hunt with a standard poodle teamed up with a lab. They make good parters-- the poodle is just a year old and the lab is going on 12... I must say that watching the poodle run and hunt is pretty impressive. I'm not sure, but I think she gets up to about 30 miles an hour, and she can clear a 12 foot ditch easily. I've been with her when she will run down and grab a pheasant before I can get a chance to shoot it. I guess it saves on ammo...

How does she do on waterfowl?

She did pretty good this year-- she can run across a flooded ricefield in about 15-20 seconds. A lot of times, she'll retrieve the duck to the nearest rice check, and then the lab will grab it and take it to the blind. The only problem is that she can get excited and take off after we shoot and miss-- and then she's out there smelling all the decoys, 'cause she knows there's a dead bird out there.... She's got a great nose, but with the ducks and geese, she's more of a visual hunter. She'll watch to see where the bird hits and then go out and get it. She is very fun to hunt with.
 
Nice looking Boerboels, loandr. :) I thought about getting one, when I was researching dog breeds.

Here's another good site about the Molosser dog family, from which Boerboels hale: http://www.moloss.com Go to the "Breeds at Molosserworld" section; there are tons of dogs that I'd never before heard of.

My own dog is a Newfoundland. He's 15 months old and weighs somewhere around 155 pounds. He's a big baby, all right :cool: Maybe I'll attempt to get some pics up...
 
big fan of the Moloss. site as well, thank you though! Newfound's Rock sir, great choice of breed, Just felt to heavy of a coat for Fl, otherwise i probably would have gone with them as well, great choice enjoy and Thanks!
Loandr.
 
Hey, another Moloss fan! :cool: Yeah, Fl. would be rather intense for a Newf. I live in NM and he just sleeps on the kitchen tile during the summer. We go walking at night, though, which works.

Out of curiosity, how do your Boers do around other dogs?
 
The female does WELL around ANYTHING (little kids at Petsmart Literally Hang from her lips when we take her there) Great with other dogs as well, the 2 pups(Boers) get along great also true Brother and sister :-) BUT the male w/ dogs outside the household is another story :eek: ..the Mrs. and I consider him our "Special" puppy :D He is a bit protective needles to say(Makes for great Roving Sentry on our ranch though). I just think of it like "Football Uniforms" ...( I have a HOME Boerboel and an AWAY Boerboel) and all is grand.

Some great dogs, mans best friend.
Heres Baron - now about 15 months old and starting to fill out.

Stockman, that's a very nice German Shepherd (I'm assuming it is a German Shepherd :cool: )

loandr. , that's how my male Newf is: protective. He is all right with other dogs unless they challenge him. He's definitely a dominant male. He is fine with people, especially little kids.

Not just standard poodles, miniatures and toys too, a lot smarter than forest gump for example.
 
Gday Loandr - Baron's pure bred shep - German bloodlines. Bought him from a breeder that normaly only supplies dogs to the Australian Armed services. He's very bright, extremely protective and is so easy to train.
This pic give a better indication of his size.

At 15 months old, he's a biggun but extremely gentle with people and children. Barron cost me AUD$1200.00 = US$950.00 so you would expect to get a good hound with the right temperement and breading lines. I will give him another year, then find a nice bitch for him to play with for a day or two so I can take another male from the litter, so he can have a mate.
