Shop DOGS!!!

[Rusty McDonald]

Mr. Wheeler got me to thinking in another thread about something in this forum.
Seems like every one on the fourm has a Shop Dog so lets see some of them.
Here's mine. His name is Woodrow, 1/2 Border Collie 1/2 Blue Heeler. all cow/horse dog.

 

[NickWheeler]

Rusty, Woodrow is a handsome dog, if he's anything like the one my neighbor had, he's a blazing ball of energy

Great thread topic!

(oh, and not even my dad or grandpa was Mr. Wheeler... ).

I reserve the right to address those I respect with a Mr thank you verry much.
And Woody is a mess, herds all the kids in the yard and will not let them leave. Brings up the horses when I call for them and trains the other dogs. What more could you ask for.

 

[Bruce Bump]

My girls on duty. They work together and only release their victims if I say "Cookies"

 

[Will Leavitt]

Bruce, what victim? your slippers or socks?

Border collie/heeler mix? surprised that dog doesn't sort socks

One of the best dogs I ever had was a heeler/shepherd mix.

I held my wife at bay for five years before finally succumbing and getting a pup for our son's 5th birthday (2.5 yrs ago). One of my arguments was that if we ever moved we'd have to find a place that would be dog appropriate. Her response was if I can figure out what to do with 6 cows, 40 hens, 4 goats, 2 sheep, 2 pigs and a donkey, then I could take care of one dog. My counter argument was that I could always sell or eat my livestock, but not a family dog.

I had to let our sweet dog go (and all my livestock) when we moved off the farm to the big city. At first I missed her terribly. I had a hole in my guts for months. She was a fantastic Border Collie by the name of Happy. She was smarter than me (not too hard to do). Yep, herded everything. Watching her pogo-stick and boing up and down trying to catch mongooses in the tall grass was just about the funniest thing I ever saw. She's now winning awards as a agility performer and living a good life. My boy (now 7.5 yrs old) and I still talk about her from time to time.

Yep, there's nothing like a good dog!

You guys hit a real weak spot for me.....I love my "pups". When I first retired from the Air Force and walked into the shop, they were the only thing that kept my sanity. They are my buddies, friends, and my company. No matter how badly I mess something up in the shop, their always there to give me that "it's OK" look.

My yellow Lab "Hammer", has been with us for going on 5 years after we had to put our old Lab down. He's not only "The King", but he's one of the best hunting partners I've ever had. Now if he only had a thumb, I think I could teach him to make knives!

Our second dog came after we had to put our old Lab down. His name is Boomer.... half Australian Cattle Dog, and half Border collie.

Life wouldn't be the same without these two!

Hi Ed,

I figured you would show up with those two guys! Can't wait until we move somewhere we can have a dog. My wife tells me everyday that she needs a dog. I guess I need one too, since she would get pissed if her dog spent all day in the shop with me

Here are three of my four shop buddies.

Duke (like me, he is getting old and gray)

Duke's wife, Katie...... A real clown

My bestest bud...... Busta. He was a rescue that now runs our family.

Pete is the current forge keeper. Sam and Spike have gone off to that covert in the sky where every grouse holds tight and the woodcock are plentiful and don't have that 'yechh' taste.

 

[grease-man]

Apache (big boy) and Cheyenne (little girl) doing what they do best!

Cheyenne is pure evil sometimes!

 

[Jack O'Neill]

left to right . Tucker , Sadie , and squirt . All rescued from the shelter . Tucker is afraid of the grinder noise , so he does not visit often .

 

[D.sylvester]

here is my dog bruizer

These boys are my 'feline deterrent system'. Loki is the distinguished gentleman in the background and Boudreaux (we call him BooBoo) is the goofy bugger in the foreground. Solicitors beware!!!

[Ice-man28]

This is meg a german short haired pointer. She is my everthing dog ready to go at a moments notice no matter what it is. She also trys to help me with everything I do(always in the way).

 

[birdog4]

Iceman, you ever work her on turkeys? bruce/birdog

 

[JasonSCarter]

This is my Piper, A runt boarder collie. she only weighs in at 20 pounds! She's one of the fastest dogs I've ever seen though and she hunts like their is no tomarrow. doesnt matter what it is she'll try to corrall it be it deer, rabbits squirrells or the kids. She loves bein with me though whatever I'm doin, but especially when we go on long walks and hikes and hunting.

 

[PIndelicato]

These aren't really true shop dogs (unless you count sitting inside the garage door scratching on it wanting to come out the whole time I'm working in the garage), but they are awesome dogs and part of the family.

(sorry for the crummy pic)

 

[atakach]

This is Sammie, he's begging to get out in the shop. His hobbies include chewing on leather and wood scraps and making a general mess.
