Big Paws Only Dog Forums

Yea  hes  got his  tail  we  are  kinda  on a debate on  getting it  docted off..  MY grandfather  who  raised dobbies  said it woudl  probley  be a goo dthing to get done  excpecially with  small kids. Im  going to be talking to the vet on  Thursday about and see what  he thinks sence  Zeus  is  9  weeks ol  *  lol we think *  sence the SPCA  didnt know for  surely  when he was born

Thank  you..  Yeah we go out lots ok im bad Im a smoker so im outside  alot lol   we dont  smoke in are house.. I  take him  for a 1 mile  walk  before  bed on his  leash.. some times  dont make the mile  lol sence he gets pooed out (  trying to get him use to his leash)  HE has never  been tied up,  When  he is older he will probley   be only tied  if necesary... I  find it  cruel   to have an  out door tied all day  or pened in a pen... 

Julie,Yeah  we have a big  Giant  dog house  for him I livei n  NOrthern  canada  so we dont get to hot  here.. In the winter  he will probley  be inside  alot sence it gets mighty  cold  we alsp  have   a  big  barn and  shop in  are yard.  LOL  we have a giant  dugout  well water hole i guess you can  say  a walking  distance from are house so we will surely be taking him there soon  All are dogs  have been out  doors except are pom we had  he was inside lol. The nice thing about where we live is that  we dont get much  traffic etc  so  we dont have to worry about him running at the vehicles  we live far out in the boonies lol

LOve the photos..  to  cute  so many  ppl  are bull heade don them and think  thereo nly meet  for  killing, and  gaurding when they are  just like  any other  dog.

LOL Lin Ill go post  some in the photos  right away I  gotta  take  soem  new ones  too lol  His  front  Paws are  huge. HE has avet appt on thursday  due to  his one  back  paw  keeps  causing him  problems the one  toe  sticks  out  way farther than the rest and  when  he jumps and hits it in the right  spot  he will  yelp IM hopping its nothing terrible but  I know  that  him and  his mom and other  siblings  were toook  away  from the recent owners  before they  came to the spca

I iwll have to say  I was laughin  threw  this thread lol.  I also thought s at  first it was about those  collars that flas when I first  read the  title..I got  flashed  last  year  when I was  with my  kids BOy  do I wish I had  zeus then  and he was all grown lol

Thank you so much.  The bitting is terrible  excpecially right in the morrning when i go out side to  feed him and play a little. HE will  just  go  nutz  jumping on  us and  grabbing are  pant  legs and t rying to bite are hands.

The jumping up is getting to be a big  problem he is getting better   not to jump on are 1 year old sence  she isnt to sturdy on her feet  he will push  her  right over  well he is  15lbs  but  probley  more  by now sence  thats  what  he weighed on the 30th of may.  BUt  he will jump on  us trying to  get  attetion I will simply just tell him to sit and once  he is seated i will t hen  pet  him  etc.. 

We are out side  most the day  with him ( he is going to be an outdoor dog)  and playing fetch  and  traing the  simple  comands. I have been  getting my  three  year old  envolved in  helping  with  him  as  giving treats  etc.  With treats Zeus is  great  he will pick the treat  up  with  just  he's lips and is carefull not  to  grap  your hand 

*~ Happy  2nd Birthday ~*

Thank  you all for the wonderfull advice and the welcomes.  Zeus and  my kiddos is  one thing that  kinda  worries me it  never did untill every one   started  looking at me  funny when I  said  i got him.  THere comments always  were "What you want him to eat your childeren" 

I see  some of you all  have Great Danes..   I  grew up  with a great  Dane  bless his heart  he had to get  put  down  do to  heart  problems  when  he was only  4.
