The DOG thread
 

That’s why my parents Qweensland Heeler who’s name was Mike was actually called Megabite Mike. He had to have his mouth on everything and everybody. He was always very gentle. It was a security thing I think. We rescued him and he was an absolute doll of a dog.

Lovely, Bugs.

The breed has an interesting personality - very protective and not afraid to be physical with their head and snout if need be.

The use of the mouth I'm sure dates back to their breeding to nip at the hooves of their flock or herd.

They are so smart though.....nothing gets by them.....:p

Finally took the plunge and groomed my own dog yesterday :eek: Tired of 1-2 months backlog at the groomers and the $50-60 it costs, so I bought equipment including clippers, scissors, and a device that holds the noose to keep the dog steady during cutting.

Having a Schnauzer, I was also frustrated that almost every time we get him groomed he'd have mats and the groomer would say he'd have to be completely shaved down. I decided I was going to somehow salvage his long leg hair and beard and leave his body hair a bit longer too. It wasn't easy and now I know why groomers take the easy way out and just shave them down. It took a solid 3+ hours and I'm still working on some areas, but generally happy with the result. There's definitely an art to it.

So....I'll just call my Lab....Puralator...one hair at a time...eventually ;)


edited....what breed ^^^^? Cool dawgy....

You did a good job, there. I had a groomer that used to do show dogs and she turned me on to some products from https://www.naturesspecialties.com/ . The Quicker Slicker helps a lot brushing out the mats and also when you're blow drying the dog afterwards. I use the Plum shampoo on the darker colors and the Blueing on the white parts of the coat.

Thanks Steve. I heard good things about that in a YouTube vid as well. Definitely going to try it. The stuff I got (Perfect Coat) has so-so results.

Trying to take photo of the 911 and the dog got in the way.

Well if you were asking me- Bentley is an English cream retriever. Or “white golden.” Guess I better post another picture of him

That's exactly what went through my head...
a white golden....cool! I just sent a 5 month golden golden home :)

Not mine --- but he's 17 and still going --- (mine are 14 and still going, thankfully):

Love those elevated hammock beds for the olde puppers. Sir Henry sure loves his, especially in warm days. He loved to sit out in the wee yard and let the breeze envelop him.

Miss that little guy
