2. They don’t like Magic: The Gathering.

5 Things about your dog
- Thread starter JEL
- Start date
1. She cost way too much but she’s a pretty good dog when we are bird hunting
2. Unreal combination of drive, smarts, stubbornness,and being a knucklehead
3. After 4 years she is still awful on a leash
4. Way, way more patient with a baby than I ever expected
5. She’s awesome and maybe my favorite hiking partner

Ya never know. My daughter's runt English Lab will pick up big honkers no problem. And my best dog, the late great Ethyl, a Lab-golden cross that only weighed fifty pounds dripping wet, was hell on big honkers. The harder they fought back, the more she loved it. Perhaps I could have "fixed" Ellie with force fetch but not really worth risking screwing her up. My hands aren't painted on.

It's funny cuz if it's a cripple shell run that thing down and grab it out of mid air every time like nothing you've seen. Drop it dead and it's a maybe...she chased a cripple the other day over 1/3 mile about two feet off the ground into a neighborhood and brought it back. I can live with her not bringing the dead ones back all the time after something like that.
If he can tree a bobcat on his own, a fresh lion will be easy for him

1. Most nights, she sleeps at the foot of our bed, but sometimes I don’t let her in and close the door. Something she always does when she wants to get into a room and the door is closed, is she gently rams it with her head to make sure it is latched shut - if it isn’t, she swings it wide-open. If it is, you’ll hear her groan and walk off. She follows this audible proclamation of disdain up by going and grabbing one of my shoes, and carrying it downstairs. She doesn’t chew on it or damage it in any way, she just takes one and leaves it down there.
I don’t even think about it anymore. I just get up knowing I have to go downstairs to get one of my shoes.
2. She is a fine coaster
3. She’s a snuggler
4. She will literally stand like this for hours - and I do mean hours- until I get so creeped out that I make her stop.
5. In terms of my marriage, she is the craziest thing I’ve ever done. I purchased her and brought her home without my wife’s permission. Though she has fallen in love with her and arguably she is my wife’s dog, this was an incredibly unwise thing to do.

Ellie will keep a crippled honker in place but waits for me to come get it. A couple years ago she had a fighter coming after her. She kept it busy. Quite funny to watch. The merry-go-round was only fifteen yards away and more geese were coming but I couldn't get her to leave it alone and get back into cover.

1. If my lab went to school he would ride the short bus.
2. Will go full on "50 Shades of Gray" on ANY stuffed animal... but has always had a special place in his heart for moose.
3. Legit knows sign language.... like understands it and can actually make a few signs himself. "Please" is his go to because my wife feeds him from the table...
4. Loves going hunting and will find and flush birds but wouldn't touch a duck or pheasant if you hid it in a stuffed moose
5. Only critter I have ever shot that he retrieved was this fish..... what a dumbass.
P.S. pretty sure my wife loves him more than she loves me.

Fresh lions are hard to cone by in our country. I hunt dry ground 99% of the time. Hardly ever get to hunt snow

1 4th adopted V in our 25 year Vizsla rescue group affiliation.
2. Craziest one yet, came into rescue as a biter. Solved that, saved his life.
3. Corkscrew spin moves in both directions.
4. Unlike the others, this one isn't sure about water.
5. Hoping to put him on some pheasants this year.
1. Loves elk wallows (pic after wallowing)
2. Loves to smear himself in raccoon poop (maybe one of the most disgusting smells in the world)
3. Loves to eat deer poop (looks back at the house to see if I'm looking before sneaking off for snacks)
4. Has the most acute sense of hearing I've ever noticed in a dog, I swear he can hear a gnat fart a thousand miles away.
5. Has never torn up or chewed a thing that's not his.
Bonus: He's actually a wonderful dog, goes everywhere with me, and is truly my best friend.

1. She loves to hike.
2. She hates water but will die if you don't take her when we go boating.
3. Loves to go hunting.
4. Will bring you socks every morning when it's time for her walk.
5. Absolutely loves the snow.

1. So well behaved it's almost ridiculous. People can't believe it, compliments are always pouring in.
2. Elk, deer, javalina legs don't stand a chance.
3. Only female in her litter of 8.
4. Will be 9 in May and still goes like she is 2 on a pheasant hunt.
5. Extremely good with the little man, altho she is definitely jealous.

Freja the Norwegian Elkhound, 11 yo next May.
1)Fiercely protective of my wife and kids around strangers. Usually a good thing, particularly when we were more rural.
2)Overdeveloped sense of guilt.
3)She was free on the condition that we gave her a Norwegian name.
4)From puppy until now, the only thing I can remember that she chewed was one bloody backpack strap.
5)My youngest lived in a one room orphanage until we brought her home at a year and a half. Due to the lack of stimuli, she really didn’t have much personality and had an emptiness to her eyes. Not sure how else to describe it. She immediately connected with the dog and it really brought out her joy, and eventually a big, vibrant personality and connection with us. No question it was the key that opened up her heart. We didn’t know we needed it, but thankfully we had it. For that reason I will forever be grateful for Freja, and will be a mess when she passes.
