My newest member

Thought I'd share a few pictures of my newest girl "Roberts Bella". I've had her for about 2 months now. A gift from a mentor of mine that in all honesty, I didn't really want but he kept at me and eventually I gave in and he sent her up to me. I'm glad I did now. She isn't the prettiest thing to look at in comparison to my other dogs but she has a ton of personality and cranks right up. She'll go very well here.

We didn't see eye to eye on that barking all day shit so I introduced her to my best bark collar. She don't make too much noise anymore lol.

 

Lol I'll keep that in mind fellas. Thanks. She's got a great personality and drive. I'm going to back her up to Geachison in a few months.

Slim I very much believe that about the bolio comment. That's my plan. West also told me that. He really likes how I've bred, over the years, his and BBD's dogs into its own family. He really likes the 2 he has from here. BBD had one from me too but I think he sold everything he had once he got out of the dogs a few years ago. Haven't really stayed much in contact with him since then but I know he is still around and doing well. Kind of miss our phone conversations but as he said to me when he was contemplating retirement from the dogs a few years back, he just wants to spend his twilight years on his chopper. Spent his whole life chained to his dogs, wants to enjoy the rest of it free and on the road. So I don't bug him about dogs anymore. Last time we spoke was when he called me right after he found out I had put my bitch M.I.A. down last year. She was a gift from him and he very much knew what she meant to me. West and I talk about twice a week though still. I have to say, its a big honor to me and a very humbling feeling to have gotten dogs from these men, do a few breeding's of my own with them over the years, under their guidance and with certain dogs and have the people I hold up on a very high pedestal in these dogs want what I have created with their stock. Got nothing but love for both them gentleman. Wouldn't have what I do now without them and I let them know my appreciation and the deep respect I have for both of them almost every time we talk..

 

Well, that's the plan anyway. Never really know till we know. West has had success with that family for a long time so he thinks it will work then I'm willing to give it a try.

I also have my Yellowman male Charlie. He's RBJxBolio. I will most likey try him with her later on down the road too. I think Bella and him would very much compliment each other.

It's like, one hand has an industrial vise but can lack the will to work an all night shift, the other hand lacks that vise completely but is willing to put in overtime, all the time. Get both in one employee and the work environment will dramatically change. Lol.

It's all theory until it becomes applied practice so thankfully I'm a fairly patient person. I'm in this for the long haul though. The best part of my days are spent doing something dog related, more times than not with my daughters company and many times, her help as an extra set of hands. Been like that for a long time now. Before her it was my son. My only gripe is I wish I had more time to focus on them and less on a career I absolutely loathe. It's a very challenging balance. I make it work but it's at a pretty high cost in more ways than financial. Lol, I'm sure I'm probably preaching to the choir. I do however feel truely blessed by both my family's willingness to oversee my obsessions but also involve themselves in them.

 

Thanks slim. Your more than welcome to one when it gets done. Treez, that goes for you as well my friend.

 

Pretty dog. Looks like she is giving that bark collar the stink eye.....LOL

 

Thanks, she is the only one to ever wear that collar. I have an automatic one that almost every dog here has had on them at one time or another. Bella however, barks right through the automatic one. She squeals when the one pictured zaps her. Thats my collar for the real stubborn barkers. Never had use it til now. She STFU when it goes off. I'm down to only reminding her once a day now, some days, not at all.

I've been debating on making a thread on the different bark collars I have experience with. I know some people say they don't work but in the many years I've been using them, I have yet to not break one of that habit.

 

I've got 2 on Sportdog bark collars. They work well, I don't know how someone could argue their effectiveness. I had one go bad and they replaced it, no hassles, good to deal with...

 

I got one that will bark NONSTOP when he thinks it's feeding time. I usually feed at about 10pm on the way to work. AS SOON AS I TURN ON LIGHTS IN THE HOUSE THAT FUCKER IS BARKIN!! He will bark until I come feed him or he gets the picture that it ain't a feeding day... littermate to this one http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/modules.php?name=Public&file=printPedigree&dog_id=596078.

AGK you shoooooo do get them nicely bred Eli dogs to NOT run em straight... You and I have talked tho. I would be doing the exact opposite of what you are doing with the same types of lines. Good luck with all your plans Brother!!!

 

i really like that breeding on paper for sure! being that I have never been a huge fan of bolio or the boyles lines lol..going back to the eli would def be the direction I would go. its not rocket surgery but it gives some breathing room for chino and pumpkin. geech2 produces exceptional looking and acting animals. I applaud AGK for his program. his yard is clean and his animals are in great health. I always enjoy our visits even if they are short. I am pretty sure there wont be any of these available to the public..and that's a good thing!

I think he was just showing off lol !!

 

As my good ol pal the pistola would say, I'm just pumpin up my dogs. Pay me no nevermind. Lol.

Promoe, you and the misses are always welcome here.
