Sucre would tear that shit up and be crapping felt for a week. Just keep em busy. Pups should never be put on ignore mode.
May 24, 20214 yr She looks like a Betty Boop! I got distracted and didn't read that she is a new member of the fam. Congrats!

May 24, 20214 yr Late night push on a project. And here is where Sucre wants to lie. I am blessed with this little dude. As soon as I took this cute picture he started licking his balls. Guess I timed it right. IMG_2431.heic Yo. Pic won't upload. If any thread should be free it should be this one considering our overlord is @blacklab Edited May 24, 20214 yr by InkaUtexas

They are smart as a whip, so start training her right away with the basic commands. They can be a bit stubborn sometimes, but that's necessary when your job is to push stubborn cattle. The urge to herd and nip will be strong. Discourage the nipping. The herding will always be there and it's fun to watch them try to herd anything and everything, including children. Get a good brush. For a short haired dog, they shed a ton. They have a double coat and the undercoat always seems to be molting. Brush regularly. They are pretty much self cleaning otherwise.

May 24, 20214 yr Oh, and cattle dogs can tend to bond strongly with one person, and be pretty independent, but fiercely loyal. Three of my last four have been half cattle dog. They mix well.

He was a 12-yo Newfie, so we fully realize that we’ve gotten a full life and more out of him, but damn that felt awful. One of the reasons I decided to get a Newfie was the famous epitaph that the English poet Lord Byron wrote on the death of his Newfie Botswain: I thought that was beautiful when I read it and it is more beautiful today because those words just absolutely perfectly describe Zeus. Beauty without vanity? Never seen such a beautiful animal slobber so much... Strength without insolence? In his prime, he weighed 150 with amazing strength. He could have done whatever he wanted in our house, but he only did what he thought we wanted. Courage without ferocity? One trait that I had read about Newfies is that when they sense a threat, they won't bark or growl; they'll just put themselves between the threat and their humans. He was less than a year old when I first saw him do that, stepping between my daughter and a neighbor's new barking dog and just staring it down. Thank you for being in my life for 145 months, buddy. Oh, no! Godspeed, Zeus.
