Kallie was already an older Pit Bull when she was rescued from a shelter.
She is very polite. She does not provoke people nor dogs. She doesn’t look at anybody in the eyes nor any other animal. She walks around people or other dogs.
The dog on the left is called Oggo and the dog on the right is called Poggo or they are called Occo Pocco.
I’m not sure. Their owner was a small Chinese man with a very strong accent and a very, very soft voice. I asked a couple of times for the names because I couldn’t understand so he eventually he spelled their name for me, but I still didn’t understand, but I’m sure that he repeated the middle consonant twice.
Zeick is a 4 month old Husky and he just learned to sit on command, a couple of days ago.
Zeick has Heterochromia which is different eye colors. His right eye is blue and his left eye is yellow. When Huskies get Heterochromia, they always get one blue eye. The same Heterochromia also happens with Border Collies and Siberian Huskies but at a much lower frequency. This is due to the lack of development of melanin in one eye.
I asked their owner if I could make the photo. My standard “pitch” was that I was there on Thursdays and if I could make the photos I would give him a 5” by 7” print for free (no string attached) the next week or any other week afterward. The owner agreed as long as he wasn’t in the photo.
This dog is 17 years old dog and she still goes for a daily walks!
Actually, it’s more of a slow stroll with frequent sniffs rather than a walk. A stop here, a sniff there but the walk is the walk. Every day, rain or shine, she goes on the walk. She doesn’t seem to have arthritis. Once, her owner got her check for the arthritis and nothing, so they don’t worry any more.
Here’s another dog called Rambo.
I know of at least four dogs called Rambo and all four dogs were named after the Sylvester Stallone’s movie filmed in Hope, BC.
Mako is a Boston Terrier. Like all good terriers, he needs to run between half an hour to a full hour, depending on the weather, the direction of the wind and the alignment of the planets. Not only he doesn’t catch his ball, he doesn’t even try to catch his tennis ball. He runs after it, and when it’s on the ground then he picks it up. Then he runs back with the ball as fast as he can. This is opposite of what most dog do. They run after the ball begin thrown and come back with the ball/prey much slower…
If Mako doesn’t get his daily running, he starts chewing and destroying the apartment.
Golden Retrievers are one of the top/favorite dog. They are big. They have good character (usually) and they get along with the family, including the kids.
I have yet to see somebody walking with their Golden Retriever. Usually, it’s the Golden Retriever that walks the person.
This Border Collie is an athlete at the top of her game. She runs, she jumps, she concentrates on not making any mistake and she didn’t. In the end, she finished second on her class.
It’s called agility racing for a reason. Not only these dogs need a lot of agility, they have no idea of where they are running. They have no idea about which obstacle they have to go next. The order of the obstacle changes from one racing group to the next. That’s why not only these dogs need to run with their owner but the dogs also need to trust the judgement of the owner.
When I think agility racing, I think Border Collies and Pitbulls. They are both fast, very energetic dogs and willing/eager to work. Over 90% of the agility overall champions are either the Border Collies or the Pitbulls.
