Happy International Dog Day

A loyal friend for the ages, both in hunting and sport along with protecting the things most dear to us. Dogs have been a long cherished friend and will continue beings so forever more.

For International Dog Day I have collected four books on nurturing this friendship in different ways.

101 Dog Tricks by Kyra Sundance and Chalcy (they have a whole series of dog training books)

Livestock Protection Dogs by Orysia Dawydiak and David Sims

Advanced Retriever Training by Tom Dokken

Absolutely Positively Gundog Traning by Robert Milner

One Sheep, Two Sheep - The Agrodome in Rotorua

The Solo Scale: You’re the audience in the show, so being alone is easy. In fact, it might even be a positive as you’ll be able to find a space close to the front of the shows. For a city on the smaller side, Rotorua isn’t lacking for activities. Between the thermal spring spas, Te Puia, Rainbow Springs, the gondola and more, there’s enough to keep you extremely busy (and that’s without going a…

I may just be a chronic hater but I do get a bit of a mild chuckle out of people who insist their showline herding dog can still work and prove it with pictures of their dog chasing a tiny handful of sheep aimlessly around a small pen.

Like I'm not saying your dog is an inferior working animal because it can win a blue ribbon but uhhhhh that's uhhhh not an accurate measure of what makes a dog a good herder.

#if you dont own sheep or cows i dont honestly expect you to have a real working herding dog #very few people actually need a dog that can do that #but there's more to herding than chasing the sheep without killing them

collie squad 😎

had a fun day with @ipushedtimmyinthewell and river and riley! we went to a lure course fun run first - stellina was very uninterested and just wanted to sniff around the grass, but kep was all for it! he chased it around for a few minutes before he got tired, it was very cute. we finished it up with a nice hike and now my two are passed tf out.

#kep did very good! proud of him #this was his longest outing yet and he kept up great. i think hes actually better behaved when he's in a 'pack' #gets less distracted by other dogs/people when hes got a group hes following #stellina could not have given less of a shit about the lure lol maybe once youve herded real sheep everything else seems boring #stellina #kepcollie

if dazai and chuuya were dogs they’d be a flat coated retriever and an australian shepherd respectively

maybe i’ll even make chuuya a miniature australian shepherd. just to be mean

#bsd #bsd dazai #bsd chuuya #skk #dog-soukoku? #soukoku #bungo stray dogs #My opinion on this is correct and firm. #CHUUYA IS NOT A CHIHUAHUA! #HE IS NOT A TOY DOG! HE IS A HERDING DOG! #haha get it sheepdog the sheep chuuya haha

I love that all my recent drama kinda boils down to…people being upset a purebred dog is being bred to a specific standard that highlights its original use.

#dogblr #frankly I don’t know much about the nihon own stuff to really determine if American breeders dogs lack in that area #but based on people I’ve followed for a long time in the rare ken breeds I’d say not #anyways border collies are meant to herd sheep #Doberman are meant for personal protection #malamutes are meant for freight mushing etc etc etc

that text post i made a few days ago

#satsuhart #temehika #hwagjagka idk if ill ever draw proper dog teme again but i just wanted to see the folded ears #but still well... dog technically suits him the best bc of the obvious canon nickname and the sheep herding thing #looking up dog breeds for that reminded me that i used to be extremely good at the dog breed category on online hangman #and then that website died when flash died #and even with flash emulator on firefox i cant play it..!! fuck!!!!! #edit: i looked into it again and i forgot the website host made an app and its like a dollar . #well i bought it bc i have extra balance left from whaling in drgl and im never gonna spend money on a mobage again #its kinda ass compared to the website version but at least its something ... i guess #none of this has anything to do with the pic except kuvasz is a breed i would not have known if not for online hangman #octo2

Cerise Hood

Daughter of Red Riding Hood

Cerise has always wanted to be a part of the high school soccer team… but her self consciousness and general social anxiety has always gotten in her way. But that doesn’t mean she can’t have friends! Although her friend group is small, she loves each of them dearly and hopes to one day share her secret… her father is a wolf.

#she grew up on a wool farm… because herding sheep. yknow? dogs? wolves? yeah #I also decided her dad isn’t THE big bad wolf because that makes everyone I tell go YIKES #I have more for how her parents met but maybe in another post #my art #art #artists on tumblr #ever after high #eah #red riding hood #cerise hood

life of a bog dog

I’m really starting to love December

#my pics #dog #dogblr #22 weeks #she’s really such a happy friendly little guy #and in the last couple weeks has just hit that point where dumb puppy brain switches to big kid brain #she still struggles with overstimulation hyperactivity #but she tries very hard to refocus on toys like I’ve been teaching her #she is very mouthy like most acd’s but she has been EXCELLENT at learning ‘gentle’ #now that she has at least a bit of an attention span I’m taking her out walking pretty far #both on leash and off #we live on a farm surrounded by other farms so there’s lots of space to roam #next I need to start reinforcing cues by drilling outdoors / in strange locations #need to work on stay #and then I can really get into teaching her how to herd sheep #she LOVES being around them #and honestly there’s nothing that makes me happier than being out grazing the sheep w a dog #really just having so much fun with my little bud

anything can be dog motif if I think about it hard enough. mind when I get you

#ik he's probably like . commonly associated with cats but hear me out #hes a working dog. a dog bred for a purpose. a dog that needs to fulfill its role or it gets anxious and aggressive. #he thinks he knows what's best for the flock. he nips and barks at their heels trying to get them to obey him #but his flock is not of sheep. they don't understand his attempts at herding through no fault of their own #the dog grows restless and begins to snap its jaws harder. “I know what's best for you. why don't you listen?” #his flock does not speak his language. #cj mind #nevermeanttoknow

If there are sheep anywhere within sight, Grue is on call and ready to go.

Someone left a herding ball at the dog park and I think Leia reeeeeeally liked it. Like i know she's a herding breed but like damn dude. I guess fetch is out and herding is in.

An accidental action shot of her losing her whole mind over pushing a ball around :3

#she's getting a herding ball for her birthday #also maybe a trip to a farm to meet some sheep >.> #we'll see #her name is leia #i love this dog so much
