Wolfdog91 7,004 Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 (edited) So had to go buy a new stove and since the store is big and pet friendly decided to bring the new dog along since she loves car rides. Anyhow walking her around while shopping had a lot of people stop to pet and ask about her which is fine and she really enjoyed it but what was a bit crazy was I kept having people ask why I didn't get a pit. Like they would walk over look at her look at me as about her then ask why not a pitbull.Would tell them I don't have much interest in one especially a pure bred one due to how people act around them,and they would look at me like I'm nuts. Had someone finally say it's weird for a black guy not to have a pit. Even worse when I told them we got Bug her from the pound and wasn't really sure what she was. Most of them could not believe something without papers and all the other high end whatever was so well behaved and listened. Which suprised me because really all she did was walk back to me when I called her and gave a lil tug on her leash... I mean it's seriously not much at all. Actually had somone ask how much I had to whoop on her to make her listen and he was just flabbergasted when I said none past a nope pop every now and then and looked at him like he was crazy. Some strange folks out now days Edited August 20 by Wolfdog91 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeeeah ..no the amount of time I've had short haired dogs pull a Houdini and slip out with just a collar , it's enough that if I'm in public they get a harness. Especially with this one , about every time my wife tries to put her Ron a tie out she comes back to her running around free as a bird and collar off . But again she only wears it where where eout in town Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As long as the dog has a lil sense their fine. Most snake bites are easy enough to deal with , coyotes can be a problem but it their not too bull headed / playful it's fine. Coyotes learn pretty quick how easy it is to lure a dog away and to the rest of the pack by acting like they wanna play. Live stock.... Well usually only take one good kick and they'll learn. Parvo was a it of a problem but stared giving them a 7way shot from the feed store so that's not much of a problem anymore, same with heart worms.... Dont have gators around here. Really just making sure they don't get ran over or shot during hunting season are my only real concerns 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe how popular they are these days when years ago only dog you would see in one was a guide dog for the blind. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 7,957 Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 We've got a whippet which the Mrs dotes on. Her mate has a litter sister. Ours has a collar. It doesn't pull on the lead. Her friend's dog has a harness and it pulls like a sled dog. Go figure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Granddaughter has a Frenchie that she walks one on with a plastic thing on it that contains the poo bag's. I just shake my head when i see her walking it or when she comes to ours . 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eastcoast 4,118 Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 (edited) The shame and embarrassment. A working bred terrier (proper) reduced to a harness but also one of those extendible dog leads. If he gets himself too exited these days with a collar around his neck he has a turn, flops town and needs a moment. Due to the collar IMO. The extendible lead thing... lads have screeched to a halt driving on roads that he is walked on, and took the piss,. Lads from the past. Nice though that they are still alive Edited August 23 by eastcoast it to they are still alive 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
