Patts Weird Habit

[redpat1 225]

Hi Guys, my 14 month old patt bitch has a strange habit, definitely one that I have not seen before. Now I now dogs like to roll in shite, preferably foxes but my pup will roll on anything dead! My springer managed to pull down a blackbird that flew to close a while back, she mauled it and gave it a shake leaving it inside out and along comes Jane (the patt) and starts doing the roll thing on it.

Today I am out giving them a walk and we find a shrew that has its guts out and the patt once again steps up and starts rolling in it getting the tiny entrails around the head and neck area.

When I am gutting the bunnies she tries to roll in the throw away pieces as well as eat them. Any of your dogs doing or done anything similar? Anyone know why she does it? I am not worried about it really but it can be a pain to have to give her a hose down every other day.lol

 

Cheers

I've a border that'll roll on dead things, dunno why she does it, though

One of my Russell's does the same!! f***ing horrible habit.

Thanks chaps, glad I am not the only one. I would still like to know why the little F*&%£rs do it though. lol. like I said, I am not all that bothered apart from when I have to rinse mashed up intestines off of her coat. Perhaps its just purely that they like the scent?

i had a little bitch who would do all that's been mentioned as well as piss all over her bedding. i also has a little saluki cross bitch that would eat the most rotten fooking things imaginable. had me chucking up on a few occasions

Ive got one that pisses on the grass scratches it then rolls it Or when i put it in the kennle after a walk goes and pisses in its bed or in its water ime waiting for him to start eating his own shite so i dont have to pick it up

its a natural instinct to roll in dead animals as it hides there own scent when hunting, wolves roll in a deer carcass so they smell more like deer when there hunting the next one

Glad im not the only one in the 'my dog eats its own shit' club. f***ing disgusting but i have tried everything and she still does it. Dirty bugger!!!!!

[Cáit Thorpe 7]

yep one of my other borders'll eat hers and other dogs shit, dunno if it's the protein in it? it's effing awful!

its to mask their own scent. its what a lot of animals do in the wild.

ever smell them when they roll in a decaying fox or badger lying in a hedge dead with maggots. fcuking weird habits is correct. mine has a habit of going deaf sometimes when off the leads

Ha ha, yeah my terrier loses her recall when she finds something to roll in.

Also, when the Spaniel is taking a shite the terrier will eat it before it hits the deck, fresh from the sphincter. They eat barf mostly so they have nice solid turds which I can understand and handle, but when its wet and sloppy and she is going at it like its a Mister Whippy my stomach struggles to keep hold of my dinner. The worst thing is I forget 10 minutes later and the dirty fecker starts trying to lick me and the kids!
