skycat 6,173 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Morgan is getting cleverer by the day: its taken her a while to perfect this little escape routine but now it only takes her a few seconds to get out of the run: I have to padlock her in if I don't want her to get out! I reckon this is all the more clever as not only does she have to lift the latch which is on the outside of the gate, but hold it up to clear the bar at the same time as pulling it open inwards towards her!

cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 No way cool! That was a nice article. Good on ya! Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I will say this about this dog: the prey drive is so high that livestock training at an early age is a MUST! and she's so clever that she learns by example really quickly, so any bad habits from other dogs are copied in a flash! They do need the time putting in as they're likely to go wrong if not given the right time and training: not for the person that wants to leave a dog in a pen all week and run it silly at week ends: also because they're big heavy boned critters and proper excercise and conditioning is very important if they're not to damage themselves by running unfit. Morgan weighs in at 31 kilos! And I think she'll end up about 26". Quote Link to post
Guest world.hunters Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 you got any more photos???? Quote Link to post
cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Thanks for the advice Skycat, I will take this in consideration when I get one someday. Great dog! I hope to see more! Quote Link to post
TimJ 0 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Nice dog Still alot of weight. How old is she ? Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 About 9 1/2 months now: she's surprisingly light on her feet and very agile: just started letting her jump low things now, no more than 3 foot high at the moment: have held her back from jumping until now due to her size and weight. You know how you can hear some lurchers come thundering by you like a herd of horses when they run? Well, I can hardly hear her feet hitting the ground: she sorts of bounds and lopes along: looks very like a giant fox when she's running in the distance! LOL Very slinky looking and supple.
