My bestest friend in the world, Jackson, a yellow lab/sheppard wandered into my garage as a newborn pup, he adopted me! After walking the neighborhood, put up flyers, nobody claimed him. Since I had no interest in owning a dog at the time, I put him up for adoption on a local website. Within a few weeks, I started to get inquiries, but it was too late, I told everyone that he'd already found a home!;) Jackson loves retrieving inside and outside but he knows not to run close to the system! If his ball ever even rolls close to it he'll look at me apprehensively and wait for me to tell him it's ok to get it! Such a good dog!!
I advise you all stick with smaller dogs
For more than 30 years, I have had dogs in my life. At times, as many as 7 at once when the homeless were to get the needle before their time. (Can't have that)
We always stuck with the smaller breeds, all sheltie or border collie...along with one little doxie.
5 months ago, I had to have a rottweiler after a friends bitch gave birth. She is a great dog actually and has never spent a night crated (did not need it). She is quite smart and listens quite well for a 6.5 month old pup.
But...
Being large, when she plays, now nearing the 90 pound mark, she tends to "throw" toys in the air.
(You know where this is going, don't you?)
I saw it happening but it was too late. She got a hold of the brand new knotted rope toy and swung it into the air...
...right into the midbass driver of my MET7!
Oh the humanity!
Stick with smaller breeds guys, this could happen to you!
