Comment to '"Bones" my new bull arab pup.'
  • [quote1319877517=Wolf] Cool shots, really like the li'l guy. How's he reacting to his environment, any "purpose" awakening in him yet? [/quote1319877517] To be honest, not really. His only purpose is annoying the hell out of my other dog, lol. He hunts her and lugs her up like she's a pig (and I don't blame him for making the mistake- she's a squat stocky ball of meat), but so far is pretty disinterested in wild animals. Very half assed prances after the odd turkey is about the extent of it. Hoping this changes. It should, but who knows, every dog is an individual. I've heard of dogs his age already swinging on little pigs, but have also heard of dogs showing no interest until they're even 2 years old. Deerhounds seem to be like this from what I hear, sighthounds in general it seems can take a little while before they "switch on", and he's thrown to the sighthound a fair bit in design, can often go hand in hand with what's under the surface I've noticed. Not that he's even old yet, we'll just see what happens. Kind of tempting to catch a rat in a cage trap and blood him on it to speed things up a bit, but I feel it would be unethical. lol. I will sure as shit try and sick him onto a rat if I see one in the yard though, which I have from time to time. But yeah right now he thinks life is all about playing around and being a dick, lol, no real purpose in him yet. edit- oh he is using his nose alot though, finding dead animals everywhere, often comes running out of some bushes with a dried up old bandicoots head in his mouth or something, the little sh!t, lol.
