Dogs and other pets

[wayne]

Mighty Mu was a quality dog. He finished racing in 2010 however. Good chance I met him once or twice with a short course sprinter called Lucky Moment.

I think they've got Mighty Grumpy running around now.

Two in a row yesterday for Penny, who won at Warragul.

Next stop the Meadows

[Penelope]

it's a buzz to see your dog get the chockies.
I had a pretty hand dog called taipan boy, going back near on 20 years ago, now.

Taipan Boy was a bit before my time.

I own quite a few at the moment. The real buzz for me is Penny (Magic Castle) winning, as she is literally the family pet. She sleeps on the couch !!!

It's a pretty unique situation

not sure what it's like now, but given there seems to be lots of midweek day time racing there is probably not as much of that as there used to be. It used to pretty common for blokes ( and some birds) to have one or two dogs that were pets. I imagine now that the industry is largely made up of professional full time trainers?

Not uncommon for small hobby trainers with only a couple.

Rare to have them sleeping on the couch and going to family BBQs etc.

Tomorrow penny goes for the hattrick at The Meadows. Will need a minor miracle to win tomorrow however.

After just on 7 months of dealing with the loss of our beloved Max and being a 2 dog household we decided over Xmas it was time to get another puppy

We decided to get an Alaskan Malamute as we've always loved the breed and because we knew from Max what a great breed & companion they can be

So we are pleased to announce our latest addition 8 week old Nisha came home on Monday

Nice dog WP. It wont be too long before that little fluff ball is Chief of Security at the Powell household.

Not a malamute, worst security dog on the planet. Biggest softies on 4 legs

The Aussie shepherd has that gig

dony you believe it WP.
One of the areas they differ from huskies is they can be a lot more aggressive. The scariest dog i ever encountered was a malamute

Like people though, there is no hard and fast rule regardless of by how we want to pigeon hole them,

[Francois Jackson]

great dog WP, very expensive if i remember when we were looking

reminds me of that dog in that Richard Gere film cant remember the name but indeed very loyal dogs when i was reading up on them

[Yeahright]

Beautiful dogs

This is the 2nd malamute for us al and I can tell you Max was the biggest wimp you'd ever meet. She would've let a robber clean out our house if it meant she'd got free pats. Actually she would have helped load the get away van to be honest. 

All the info you get from the Malamute clubs will tell you that

Can honestly say I've never meet an aggressive (towards humans) mal in my life.

They certainly have a pack dog mentality and we told there was no way we could bring another breed into the family. We were told Max wouldn't accept other dogs. But that was so wrong. we never had any problems with bringing in Jonty (our lab) and puppy Flame into our family.

And so far one week into Nisha being home we haven't had in problems.

TBH think it has a lot to do with how they are raised & what they are taught by their owners

Yep are an expensive breed but worth every $$

We are thinking of applying for the baby bonus

I've always loved German Shepherds but have actually been keen on looking at getting a malamute for a while.

Anyone watch Dog Whisperer with Cesar Milan? Goes to show every dog is an individual with a unique temperament, and a lot comes down to how they are raised and treated.
