No longer lurking...

My name is Ted. I have two Amstaffs, i purchased my female from a breeder and rescued my male.

Siren (Female)


Tank (Male)



Here is a video i did of my female on the spring pole...

My dogs represent what this breed is all about.

I most likely don't fit in here, judging by some of the stuff i read. But I know what im doing with my dogs and can offer my two cents to whoever wants to listen.

flame on.

 

I meant to put this in introductions...

 

Nice video bro!!!

 

I'm diggin the video. Whats that song?

 

The song is called Purple and the artist is: Crustacean

Thanks for the dig.

 

Welcome. No one will dig at you. It's not that everyone hates Amstaff. I have a few myself. As long as you are here to learn about the Gamebred APBT and not here to be like "Amstaffs are better, because....", then no one will have a problem.

 

Nice looking dogs. One thing i noticed in the video the dogs swinging and hanging. It's much safer and better for the dog if his hind legs stay grounded.

 

I dont think you will get flamed for owning amstaffs not my cup o tea but each there own. Pretty dogs btw

 

Hmmm, i do not know if you fit in here but dogs look healthy. I do wonder about dogs wearing shock collars IN (what appears) the wild and standing on water.

Another Hmmm, your male wearing a chock collar here too? Try holding leashes one in each hand.

You did come out of lurkville to get a check up, did you not?

flame on.:cool:

 

The vast majority of e-collars (most know them as shock collars) are entirely water proof. My dog wears a Dogtra 200NCP Gold, and here are pictures of her standing/swimming in a river. She wears her for distance and off leash training. They are very useful tools when used properly. She also used to have a bad habit of trying to chase prey while hiking, but has since learned to behave herself on and off leash during hikes.

To the OP, gorgeous dogs! As long as you are know what you have and are proud of it, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks.

 

I would also reconsider the shock collar on standing water. Though , some shock collars can be completly submerged in water, as an owner you should know if its completely safe

Cutt-

 

Yep, my dogs wear e-collars. They work great, unfortunately you cant stand on water with these kind.. But you can definitley stand in it..

The receivers are waterproof, and the stimulation is harmless...

I don't really understand the rest of your reply.... Leashes... one in each hand? Check up?
