Hi all, Greg brought home HIS new puppy today.

He is a Red Heeler, Greg wants to call him Jake but I think he looks like a Bear so I am calling him Bear. :yuck:

I personally do not like the breed as I think they are ugly, I am a cavalier person

BUT anyway Bear is cute in his own way and it is nice to have a dog again afetr loosing Buffy early this year from Tiger snake bite :rofl:

His sister bred him and selling the pups for $700.00 but she gave Greg Bear.

I like the name BEAR

[GenericBlue 0]

i had a red heeler called bundy bear not after the drink either

he was the best dog i have owned

i had to give him back to breeder as the next door idiot was trying to prevoke him to be nasty when ever i was not home he was a total losser

anyway i didnt want him to lose his good nature so i asked breeder if he wanted him back as he was stud dog and his father just died and bundy looked just like tucker was only pup out of three litters that did

i miss him so much but he is so happy now i live in a better place i didnt want to remove him from them although they offered

id love another one but really dont have time for another dog right now

and would really like to get a ridge-back as they my other choice dog ive had two that live long lives

have fun with him but if i was you id get him a pair of gumboots and when ever you see him chewing something replace it with his boot

he will soon learn to chew them only

bundy had five pair but thats all he ever chewed

A red heeler is the same as what we call Australian Cattle Dog, over here, right? Not my favorite breed, either, looks-wise, but this one has nice markings. I'm sure he will be a very nice looking dog. Besides, I hear their personality is good, so that's more important than looks, isn't it. And the name Bear is way better than the name Jake! :rofl: At least he didn't want to call him "Buddy"

 

That was very generous of Greg's sister! And I'm really happy for you to have a dog again.

Kaz I think Bear is nice too, I hope I win over it. I like Jake too but I have a Grandson called Jake.Gb Bear is growing on me, Greg said they are a one person Dog and very loyal, but the problem is I am home most of the time and Greg is not so he will probably end up my little mate more than Gregs whether I like it or not.I have to admit that I have been shopping and bought him everything a dog needs almost even made him a bed today but he won't sleep in it yet, prefers to sleep in the open, silly puppy, so we had to get abig thick warm blanket for him to sleep on and cover the chair he is under to keep the wind off him.He is really good, Greg thinks he is sick because he is not sooking and carrying on like most puppies do on their first night at their new home.BUT he is not sick he seems to be a good puppy i think Funny I was waiting for Greg to come home from work so we could go and pick him up together but he went straight from work without me so I was really annoyed too, but Greg got his punishment for not taking me, Bear pooped in his car on the way home :rofl: that will teach him.Greg said he gaged all the way home :yuck:

Thank you Finnie, Yes they are Australian Cattle dogs and very Loyal.Bear is actually very cute, he is big boned his feet are huge, he is only 8 weeks old if that.Greg was going to call him, Fred... George... and some really crappy names and I said NO, we both kinda agreed on Jake but when he came home with him and bear was standing eyeing off the birds, I thought you look like a bear, so i thought that's different so now I am stuck on it.We were getting the girl dog and Greg said we will call her George and I NO but then I said I like Georgie so I was happy with that but Then his sister decied to keep the girl for herself.i think the real reason why she gave one to Greg was so she can see how he grows up and also use him for stud later on but we will see about that. Greg said he might have him fixed yet. Edited August 27, 2010 by KAZ

Well the little so and so was so good until half an hour after I went to bed and he started , honestly all night he carried on. He is NOT sick Both Greg and I are both very tired today.

Gb I don't want him to be my dog but he should take to both of us if he lives long enough my sleep is very important

Nah he is a cuttie, took more pics of him before, so I guess I already love him

He is cute Splat, he looks like a little Bear too I reckon. Used to have reds and Blues on the farm. Give him a early feed and keep him up in the arvo, tucker him out before bed, with playing, walking and a meaty bone for a midnght snack

[splat 0]

Thanks Pie, we found out his breeder turns the light off and the puppies know it's bed time but silly Greg thought he would leave the light on all night thinking it would help him settle in NOT.

Anyway he has been sleeping all night, he has settled in very well BUT he wakes with daylight and starts howling, NOT for food for us, companionship. DRIVING me nuts.

This morning he started so I got up and gave him breaky and he didn't even worry about it for half an hour , he was more concern about driving me nuts. jumping etc.

Anyway his name is Jake Greg won because it's his dog, I still think Bear was a good name. Greg said when he grows up he won't look like a bear.

He is howling right now.

He is very cute . When I brought my cavalier home she was only 6weeks old and i gave her a teddy, which she cuddle up to when she slept. Later she had a few more soft toys and she used to feed them.

ps. I think Bear is a great name for him.

[splat 0]

lol His name might be Jake but to me he is Bear, I call him Jake Bear when Greg's not around he gets just Bear

Bear was 10 weeks yeterday

Well if you are "bear's" main carer when Greg isnt around, pretty soon Bear will only come to one name and then Greg will have to wonder whose dog he is

[Squeak_Crumble 0]

Gorgeous!

[splat 0]

Thanks everyone, Kaz you made me laugh :laughter:

I wish it would sleep in though

[splat 0]

Here are a couple new photos of Bear oops I mean Jake I took yesterday, I reckon he has grown heaps in 3 days I took these photos yesterday, he is settling really good.

Today he was actually playing by himself with his toys, he was so funny, then he would grab his own tail and pull at it so hard that he would fall over the veranda :laughter:

Jack is adorable but l like the name bear too lol

I like these types of dogs. l grew up with them.

l use to stay at my grandparents farm during my summer holidays. They had one named Mickey and later they got another one named Cassie. They where very loyal to their master. One thing l remembered about them. Is that they would guard the farm very well. They would attack strangers cars and would not let the stranger's get out of their car. Not until my grandfather would holler at the dogs to lay down and stay. Yet, the dogs knew when family would come out to the farm. They would never attack our car.

[splat 0]

Greg said that they are very loyal and a great watch dog. Gosh Jake is annoying though, he is wearing me out. wants to play all the time and under my feet everywhere I walk. It's only annoying because he is Greg's dog and i have to be with him all the time while Greg works, I really think I should of being allowed get the dog that I wanted, a cavalier or a maltese/shitzu seems I'm the main carer .

Jake is going to be quite big soon and he is a breed I would never in a million years choose. BUT saying all that he is growing on me. But better stop waking me up in the morning, this moring he started at 5.18 because that is when Greg went to work. Be barked and carried on until I got up and turned the light out which was 5.55 and then it was nearly day light so he started again.

He's getting you well trained!

 

But very cute..... puppies of any breed are just adorable (oh except Shar Peis - sorry to any Shar Pei lovers here!).

Thanks Nubbly, he is cute and he is growing on me But guess who is pickking up the poopys, NOT Greg ME and i told him that was the condition, he had to do it not ME. Not fair.

All puppies are cute and adorable but the they all gro into dogs, not so cute.

[**KAZ** 0]

I think if you have to pick up BEAR POO then you should be allowed to call him BEAR.

 

HIS dog indeed

Nah it's now Jake poo

It's funny tonight Greg was talking to his mum and she asked him if he got his puppy and of couse he said yes. His mum said Julie really didn't want you to get that pup and Greg Replied "oh don't worry Jake is growing on her" No he is grwoing on me and a wierd way

I am trying to lead train him for the show ring :rofl: He is a bit slow compared to the cavs well I think so any way..

I think I am going to rename the dog Annoying. Trouble or something

Jake is annoying soooo much, besides him pooping all over the lawn that i seem to be picking up and jumping on me all the time.

I am trying to teach him not to jump but Greg lets him so the lesson is ruined

I am trying to level off the ground to frame my cementing for the birdroom and he is under my feet all the time. He just lays where the shovel is about to land, silly puppy.

Gee before went to step backwards and the little sausage was there so of course I fell on my backside.aggrhh Hard too. I came inside cursing and stuff.

Greg will have to tie him up when we do the cement because he will just ruin it.

Greg is telling everyone he is growing on me and he is our baby but I secretly want him gone

I really don't want a puppy or dog. I was really quite happy with out one, no poops, no falls (by me). etc I actually hate dogs jumping on people.

okay had my winge :yuck: BUT I don't really feel much better,

 

I WANT MY CAR BACK. that might cheer me UP. IT has been 4 and 3 days now

Something to help dogs not jumping is when they jump out, firmly tell them no, step back and if they keep jumping, gently (not hitting or smacking) put you palm against his nose, it normally makes the dogs recoil. Some people may think this is cruel, but it isn't like hitting the dog or anything. Here is a website to help if you want: http://dogobedienceadvice.com/how_stop_dog_jumping.php
