What have your LGD's done and yet...you still love them?!

Our pups turn 1 year old today. They are amazing dogs and we love them. HOWEVER...yesterday, they were in the basement (which is our family room) eating their breakfast, just like every other day. All of a sudden I heard a strange noise. The farmer went down stairs to find that "someone" had ripped into our couch and pulled a huge piece of fabric off and a huge piece of foam from the inside. They have never done this before or anything similar.

All I can say is it is a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY good thing they do a great job and have "those eyes".

I know some of the rest of you must have some stories too!

Ours stole our clothes. We were in the hot tub, they came up stole all our clothes and walked away! Neighbors had to come over all the time and collect the shoes that they left on their pourches!
LOVED those dogs!
In CO we called it Akbash Booty, and everymorning the Border Collies would go down and plunder the booty!
They stole everything that wasn't tied down!
Loved them too!

LoL funny!!!



Well mine is only 3 months old so I don't have a lot of stories yet, but here are some of his favorite things to do;

Chew on the lambar nipples to get the milk out (moved the lambar out of his reach).

Pulls the ducks around by their necks (stopped letting the ducks out).

Chasing baby goats (only supervised visitation rights now).

Chasing chickens (locked all the chickens up).



LoL I think that's it so far, I know he is just a puppy and doing what puppies do, we are teaching him what is right and what is wrong, just slowly, lol. Good thing he is so cute!!!

Isn't puppy-hood fun???

hahahaha Kristen, I can soooo see that happening! Sounds like something ours would do. Our yard looked like something really bad had gone on when the snow melted off the lawn finally. Bones everywhere! They do like their collections don't they?

WMR, Isn't that funny that we completely change up everything so these little pups will succeed?!

babsbag, Oh it sure is! The funny times and the amazing times far outweigh the "challenging" (I think this is the politically correct terminoly now a days ) times certainly and its a good thing.

SHF, you are so right. In CO we lived on 4 ft of snow most of winter. Yep, bones, treasurers and even a stuffed animal or 2 was waiting to be discovered when the snow melted. I have no idea where the stuffed animals came from. Hope the kids that lost them weren't to bummed out!
I sure do miss having them. Love reading about everyone else's!

One of ours is a climber, wiggler, crawler, digger, whatever needs to be done to get out. As he has gotten older, he's 8 months now, this has gotten better. He knows more now that he is supposed to stay put and keep an eye on things where he is supposed to be so he doesn't actively look for places to escape anymore. I'm sure he would wander if the fences weren't good though...

my hounds are pets that just happen to hang out with chickens, pony, goats et cetera.

everyone goes for walks together: goats, dogs, pony, and chickens.
the dogs swim in the same pond as the ducks and children...

except that nothing small and helpless lives long:

my best girl, Gypsum, who is four and 'trained' another rescue to help carried my quail around until he was suffocated
she and another dog jumped on a baby rabbit (it had been my daughter's) and smooshed it flat.

Whoops Lupa! I bet the hounds weren't very popular with your daughter for a while after that.

Potter, isn't it amazing what they can get out of? Many LGD's to the average joe look like big old lugs. But they are agile and fast!
