Mines half lab half shar-pei, fantastic family dog, and guards the house nicely.

Jack about 8 months ago




And supervising me at work a few weeks ago

ours has just had a growth spurt fuk hes big now rottie huntaway x

jack is 40kg which is pretty big for a Lab cross. My biggest dog was a Rottie bitch who was 65Kg. That is her on the right of my 50Kg boy on the back of the old work truck.

Bird dogs gotta bird dog.

Little dog ( I'm calling Jessie) who gave the neighours the "finger" and came to live with me is finally paying her way. Her first legit caught and killed rat I can see the advantage of small dogs now since my boy would have had no chance under the roofing iron

Blue heeler?

Blue healer x id say

Oh never thought about blue healer, I think there is Jack Russel and a bit of chihuahua. She has the brown dot above the eyes which also usually means Huntaway/Rottie/Dashun'd etc...

My bluey has the brown dots/eye brows over both eyes

Those dots are linked to a dominant gene since if they have almost any huntaway/rottie etc.. in them the dots will appear. We have a beaded collie huntaway cross at work and you can still faintly see the dots above her eyes

Took Nikau for a recon trip on Saturday to check out a couple areas i wanted to explore more during the roar. Turned out to be a good day out, but no deer unfortunately. Wind was swirling a bit and Nikau worked it when ever a gust would come through. His ground scent work is amazing. Nose down and will follow trails and lead me straight into the area's the deer have been. Sign tends to get fresher and fresher to further we go. Unfortunately, we end up with the wind up our bums and i have to turn him around a few times. It just seems like he knows what we're doing without having put an animal on the deck over him yet.

Do others dogs rub their necks and roll in scented up areas? ie deer beds, hind shit, etc.?



Look Dad im hiding, they wont see me....




Back and the ute tired.

Yes my bitch loves to roll in all those smelly things, especially pig shit, mainly the sloppy stuff. Then she likes to hunt real close to me and get it on my leg.

Yep dogs rolling in crap is a "thing"
Actually they do it to disguise their own smell to help with hunting. They same way some of those semi nutty bow hunters spray themselves with deer piss

The only exception to that is the bearded collie I posted above who during a palatability trial ( we were testing dog pretzels ) she took one out of her bowl and dropped it on the ground and rolled in it. In all my years owning dogs I have never seen them roll in something that wasn't crap and or disgusting dead animals or some sort of repulsive shit.

It's a hard life being a black dog on a hot day
