Always wanted a retiever wub.gif . But can't have them as they aint good guard dogs. Just know something weird happened. Was it a sign from GOD?

I was on my way out of my house to town. As I came out my front door I heard a chopping sound coming from my swimming pool. I thought it was my sis swimming...But with the pool lights off??? Then to my greatest shock.....

It was an Adult Labrador..... ohmy.gif . It looked like it had been swimming for a while... but why didn't any of my family members noticed it? It was beginning to sink icon_question.gif . I tried to call it over to me as I stood over the steps leading down to the deep end but it must have been too tired to wade to me. I went near it and was a bit worried about the temperament at first, but when I approached it, it seemed friendly so I touched it forehead first. As it was beggining to sink again, I grabbed it and aided it out of the water. After drying itself, I tried to approach it but it was afraid of me. Maybe somebody left my gate open so the poor doggie came in. I let if out the front gate and it walked away.......

Am still recovering from the incident...... sweat.gif Would have been really bad had it drowned. Lucky doggie.... Hope it stays nearby my place so that it goes home....

Wow , swimming pool ..Labbie ... did you forget to give it a nice squeeze before it goes off ? You're right though about how retrievers are no guard dogs . In about 1 or 2 months my Fala is gonna stay outdoor but she's still allowed to roam freely the house . Thinking to get a guard dog to guard her ....she certainly still act like a baby though , missing her badly now .

Just noticed that you're from Kluang , my uncle is from Kluang and I have few buddies from Kluang too smile.gif And it seems that everyone in Kluang get to know everyone from Kluang .

Well, I wanted to give it a hug or a pat before letting it go, but it distanced itself from me. Maybe it was still in shock sad.gif . Anyway found out that the doggie came from nearby. Will be seeing it again. Bad thing is that the owner lets it go alone to answer the call of nature. What if a car rams into it? sad.gif

As for where I am? Yupz... Kluang at the moment..... smile.gif . You've got relatives or friends here? I might know them. Small world here......Sleepy town.... biggrin.gif

It would have been a huge tragedy should the doggie have drowned. I don't know how Im going to swim or use the pool. Anyway the doggie came from the nearby Convent. It would definetly go to Heaven.....

Wonder if the malamute will shed excessively here unless kept in an air-con environment. My neighbour keeps their Husky totally indoors. Except for the evening walks. So too does the GR across my house. Totally indoors except for the evenings. Im waiting to get my German S. But that doggie has to be outdoors. Just can't wait to get it.....Anybody with good deals pls PM me..... smile.gif

Dogs that are suppose to live in cold countries will have thinner coats. Yah, the fur won't be so furry. In our climate, all dogs will shed all year round but will go into major shedding twice a year.
GSD hehehe... how much ah? Latest I saw was RM1400 with cert. Now  only see people selling german shepherd with cert and the price is RM1000 over.

HAhah... I would like a Neopolitant mastiff... but tibetan mastiff is like bear loh heheheh.... well, some dogs when never properly trained from young will tend to think of themselves as the alpha leader and will try to control the family. That is why we must show our dominance to them. We humans, become soft liao coz dogs so cute, we let them do almost anything ahahahah....

When you find out the price, remember to post here ah heheheeh tongue.gif

Im looking for another GSD and am still looking. You mentioned RM1400 with cert. Is it the imported bloodline(Long Fur) or the localised GSD(Shorter fur) >? The only GSD(Import mixed local) here near my place was going for RM1900 which is very higher considered my previous 2 cost me only RM1500(RM750 each).

And now you mentioned Tibetan Mastiff and I've read that they make good guard dogs and are territorial. Could you be so kind as to feed me with some info about their availability here, price and how well they do in out climate? notworthy.gif

Thanks....

Timothy/ Timmy, 5 years old. Now on Back to Basics kibble, previously on Eukanuba -> Eagle Pak -> Royal Kanin -> Science Diet kibbles. Of all the kibbles, I think Science Diet was the least tasty...he took a small mouthful of Science Diet and neglected the rest of the bowl. Did this for a few days and we had to change brands.

Also the sole male of the litter - when I first brought him back, kencing like female dogs (squatting down) and always got his fur wet with pee. Did his business like that for around 1.5 years after which he finally learned to pee like a male lol.

I don't know whether you guys' GRs do this...mine always wants some water to cool his underbody (abdomen area) after exercise. Usually I'll hose him after a jog. But if he's been naughty and sneaked out I won't care about him...but he'll dig some water out of his water bowl and proceed to cool his underbody in that puddle of water rolleyes.gif

Particularly fond of sleeping with the air con on and always wants to be in the house although he's not supposed to.
