Not really... when this dog sniffs the ground it's floppy ears go down. So she seriously asked 'so that's all they can smell?'... Yep, that's why the cops use that breed. Can only smell their own ears. Just for aesthetics LOL

My daughter had a black lab in training and they were to find a guy that hid. They went to a pond got the scent towards a timber and about halfway there he stopped. My son in law realized he was looking at something. He followed the dogs gaze and there the guy was up in a tree! Abner sat down like my job is done dad there he is in the tree. Lol But sadly he had bad hips but we kept him busy finding the grkids and friends kids too. It was great fun but he got sick and had to be put down. There are many stories about him that we cherish. Would of loved to see your dog track and find that child. Keep up the good work.

Love those breeds of dogs. My daughter just found a wonderful farm to relocate her 8 month Charlie. He hated it in the city. She tried occupy him constantly in the city. Loved our farm , we don’t live there full time. All he wanted to do was bark & howl constantly in the city, trying to hunt the cat, anything he could. Exercises wasn’t enough, they need to hunt & work. Was a very difficult choice she had to make for the dog to have a happy life. Adjusting very well in his new surroundings. Already got into his first porcupine. Only mishap. The most hardest, but unselfish decision she had to make for Charlie to give him a better life needed in the country than cooped up bored in the city. Now he’s not barking constantly cause he’s getting the right working exercise he needs & wanted. Has bonded well. Might have cost her $1200 got him at 8 WK’s. Took the loss to make him happy. Way to anxious in the city barking inside & out constantly. Big Beautiful extremely sweet happy personality. Loved the kids. Other dogs,& cat. Treadmill never tired him. He needed to work. She researched well to find him best home. Not an acreage but actual crop farmer. Lots to do in the country, lots of wildlife.
@doloresreynolds81453 жыл бұрын
That is a good ending to her pup’s story. She is not alone; lots of people end up with dogs that are more active than they are (or are otherwise poorly suited for their situation), usually because they do not know enough about the breed prior to acquiring one (or else because of unexpected health issues that prevent the owner from exercising the dog adequately). I think back to the chronically ill lady with two jack russell terriers, the suburban family with a Saint Bernard, the arthritic woman with a blue heeler. It can be difficult to judge just how much activity and interaction a particular type of dog will require to be a happy and well-behaved dog.

@love2lovelove2love62 жыл бұрын
@@michaelmullin3585 well indeed it would be… I could not agree more. However, if it’s a hot day and you are on the hunt for an active shooter you wear a vest so should the k9. If you are in Afghanistan on a mission or walking outside of the green zone .. it can be 120 degrees .. vest and 100lbs of gear. Hydrate. Water for the dogs and peeps. Of course make sure the dogs are checked out as they are by some of the best vets .. especially in the military .. they (dogs)are warriors too. Booties! Very important for search and rescue …ie, 9/11. How about the idiots who walk their dogs on HOT HOT days on the sidewalk without thought that their dog they say they love ..their paws are burning . People always need to access what’s best.. common sense as you know I’m sure . Unfortunately, there is not much common sense around anymore. If I see (and I have) a dog in someone’s car with an inch of window down and they are nowhere to be seen.. example (this happened because I did it) at the movie theater… do you even think I stood there and debated what the right thing to do was?? .. hell no I grabbed my glass punch and Shazam broke their window to save the dog. Took a whole 2 minutes tops from seeing it .. dog is in distress ..grab my punch. Do you think i give a flip about the owners car? That anyone that knows that living being will die a horrendous death because of some ignorant yoo-hoo’s don’t know how to take care of their dog .. The dog is safe. Don’t give a flip about the peeps watching the movie or their car . Left a note on the front windshield..drivers side was shattered . Took the dog. All stop. The end. Dog went to my vet and onto a no kill shelter and was adopted out to a lovely family. Maybe ..just maybe they will think about it . I doubt it. They never called . They had my number. Did I lose sleep no. Not a wink. I would lose sleep if I had not helped that dog. I do agree with you about the concern of heat and the safety of the dog and innocence.. the people I worry about are the one’s who don’t think and the ones who hesitate .. you are right. We must be mindful of the conditions both for the animal and for the people. Since animals can’t speak .. they need an advocate…..not some dumb yoo-hoo with the iq of their shoe size. Lol you can see I’m very passionate about this issue. Things can be replaced(car window) … people and mans best friends cannot….

Also the only news crews that are reporting on it are two small local crews, the rest are all youtubers. I don't want to think it's about race,but it's difficult not to.
