King of the Hill
I told the pupster to place for the pic and then climbed up on the top and threw him into the soft snow on the other side.
He disappeared for a quick second and shot back out of the hole with me in his sights. Heard a sonic crack and then the 84lbs pup launched into my rib cage and drilled me down the other side of the bank.
He returned to claim his rightful spot as the King of the Hill as I dusted myself off.
Caution: adding several feet of snow to an motivated pup can be dangerous to your health!

Angus. The Wooly Bastard. He was a true warrior. Never backed down from anyone or anything. Every fight was to the death. I know that SOB was some past relative reincarnated as a dog.
God rest his soul.
I used him for my trapline and a decoy dog. One of those once in a lifetime dogs that just understood me. He knew exactly what I was hunting, birds coyotes, cats, shooting jackrabbits. He was a true alpha male and the only one I have ever had. We had our differences but unlike other dogs I have trained, with him it was a mutual respect thing. When I was gone he ruled the house. My wife hated him when I was gone because he thought he was the man of the house. Until one time some people tried coming in the yard. He ran them off and when he came back he had blood in his muzzle. He loved kids and would always follow them around to play and watch. He loved my girls. There were people he liked and people he hated and you knew in an instant what it would be when he first met someone. I dont know if he was reading what I thought about people or he had the same taste in people as I did. Damn. Time for some single malt...
Damn dude.... Friggin harshing my mellow.
I'll drink a shot to Angus.
Great trapline pic. Makes me long for my youth.
When I posted this pic I thought my Doberman/Shepherd was in the pic....he is in one but this ain't it. I never took him on the line though.

This is Pedro. We just lost him last weekend. He made it to 11 years with us. I will miss him dearly.
Man, love those Airedales. I grew up with a couple and had a couple more as an adult. I did my daughter a solid and got her a rescue Airedale for her dog. I miss them all. Awesome dogs and greatly underappreciated. Stuck with the wife's dog now. 
Sorry about Pedro. Losing them is the hardest part of the partnership. Remember the good times and joy that you shared with Pedro.
The boys on the morning recon.
This was 10 yards from where I found a headless deer carcass dumped a few weeks ago. Performing an autopsy to determine if it was a car strike or poach job.
Oregon has a new law allowing road kill to be harvested as of Jan. 1. Now people are taking the backstrap and leaving the rest for cougar and coyote bait in the area. The qualifier is you have to take the harvested head into Fish and Wildlife.

No children, just dogs, always have been and always will be dogs in my life. I prefer the company of dogs to most all people. Do I have a problem?
Nope. Wife and I are the same way. Remember this is why dogs are better than people-a dog might pee on your leg but at least they won’t tell you it’s raining.
Jack is a shep lab mix. He is very protective of his territory. I can take him to the vet or the dog park and he's friendly with other animals and people. He will go to the neighbor's house and play with their dogs and their grandchildren. They will bring him home and when they get to the property line he will growl and let them know not to enter the property.

If you have a problem then so do I.
Fact: I've been bitten by far more people than dogs in my lifetime.
This dog is my spirit animal, sleeps 20+ hours a day and always acts tired.
Snow day yesterday!
So bright my iPhone XS Max camera looks like it's looking through sunglasses. Snow blindness was in full effect.

Snow balls on her feet have to melt off mostly. But she doesn't seem to mind. Stepping in puddles all afternoon though.
Here are some old ones of my Golden,he was a rescue,I had almost 14 years with him.
This is my “grand-dog” oldest Son has him.
Chaos disappeared out of the yard one day and was found about 2 weeks later, 40+ miles from my Son’s house. some asshole had shot him in the face, luckily someone took him to a local vet who got him back home. We believe someone stole him for him to get that far. He is recovering good.

I'd have to agree on the attempted theft. Mals are super attached to their people. Since he was shot, the perp probably found out why they're called Maligators ?
They are amazing dogs.
The company next door to us had one. (which unfortunately died of digestive problems).
Beautiful & friendly.
She is a sweetheart............the two local cats have yet to make friends, but I think they will..............
When my wife and I were younger, we had Newfies. They're similar in some ways, large dogs, great dispositions as well. I really want a Berner and I really envy you
?Here's Hondo! My third and possibly the most retarded Catahoula around!
I love a catahoula they are great dogs to have around, I had a female that every 30 minutes would make a round on my 180 acres. Never had a coyote or hog come anywhere near the house. The UPS driver ran her over to say I was pissed is an understatement which is probably why they leave the packages at the front gate. When my GSD leaves this world I will get another
Good lookin critters.
I have a mutt version of them.
She looks black inside the house.
Outside her colors come out.
She sports a decent Stache for a girl.
They can be a handful if they can’t roam. We have 6 acres but surrounded by 600 acres of woods and hayfields. My old female would throw possums and raccoons at the back door to show us that she’s been on duty. She brought us a 20-30 pound pig home once. She had smoked pork with her dinner for a week!
The chain of command at the house was Me, Trixie, my wife, the kids, then everything else that was waiting to die!
Hondo is more laid back. He roams around but not far. He can track a deer like crazy though. You cut a hair on a deer and he will find it!
