*** Show us your Dogs ***

Rotty, coming up to 4 months old now. I know its still early but it's hard having a pooing/peeing machine around a kid.

So why get a dog in the first place? And 4months is still very very young.

If you have real issues with it look at limiting the space your dog sleeps/poos in (as generally they will not poo where they sleep) and not giving it run of the house.

Oh okay, thought you were working on an oil rig or something at some point? :p

Lovely dog though

Me and the lady will be getting a Sibe eventually, either when we move into a house that allows dogs, or get our own house (Very unlikely atm)

I work for an oil and gas contractor so design things for offshore, do go on vessels and stuff but not all the time. Do research on sibes and just remember with them they are really pack animals so can ecome destructive without company.

Ok thanks; is your dog on his own at home/ggarden whilst you're in the office?

It's just that whenever I consider having a dog (distant future), I think about not being there during the day. And I would want a german shepherd or Husky, not that I know much about either yet.

He's on his own, but up untill he was 2 he lived with me and the ex with another dog and a me and the ex did different shifts so he was never left alone when growing up. Circumstances changed and i moved back to aberdeen but he seems to have coped well with the move and changes.

I wouldnt suggest a sibe if you are leaving him/her for any period of time.

What breed is Max, KaHn?
Beautiful dog!

German Shepherd, lots of pics in this thread and some another thread when he was a pup (but you'll have to search).

Siberian Husky? Wow that's going to require a lot of training and exercising!

Sibes are actually very easy to train, people just need to realise like most working dogs they need a lot of excercise, I know loads of people who got sibes who don't really like walking...........................:confused:

But on the other hand I know loads of sibes who are fine off the lead and have really good recall because the owners work them (people who don't like running with their dogs can get sleds/skids for them to pull).

Thats one thing which has always put me off sibes/malamutes is the amount of running they do actually need (same with springers).

Max seems the right level of docileness but if I get in from work and only take him to do his buisness then come in for tea and wait too long before taking him out he will let me know by sitting in front of the TV looking at me then walking to the door sitting there and repeating it till I take him for a long run :).

Super cute! xD ima getting one ina few months :)

I know a lot of people won't like me saying this but Sibes really arent pets, they are working dogs and have only really be "pets" for the last few years, they are bred to run and work and as such (like collies) need to be kept in a manner which suits that, this is from my experience of ones I've met through friend etc.

But if you have time for them, 3+ hrs of running which may be on the lead constantly, they are beautiful dogs :)

I don't see what the problem is if somebody wants to buy a dog for working (guarding) purposes. Perhaps I'm missing something?

He's in the states, if he wanted a dog off his property he would only need to shoot it. Much better than training a dog to attack and kill other dogs dont you think?

What do you think will happen when two dogs go towards each other? They won't always run away! And yes I think shooting stray/wild dogs much more humane than setting dogs onto them
