Haha! My grandorts fart too. Very evident in their bath

 

[Tom]

a monkey! Why, because everybody loves monkeys.

Yeah. You've never had one in your house...

 

[Tom]

Is farting an English bulldog thing?

Not usually. Its a Boston Terrier thing though. Just give them a drop of "Bean-O" on their food and it takes the smell away. You should tell your friend with the stinky bulldog.

 

[Tom]

I absolutely love the breed. Do you own one?

I'm down to two. Amazing workers. Terrible pets.

Oli, and just Oli.

What is their job to stay busy with you?

I train animals for movie and TV work. My mals work frequently and usually accompany me to work even when other animals are working. I also do bite work with them regularly. Its what they live and breath for.

 

[Momof4]

Definitely a dog!!
I can't imagine not having one or two or three

over the years i've known a few dog breeder/trainers from your part of the country that have produced and trained some really impressive dogs, the dogs of theirs that i have known were all bulldogs , they did also have the furry ones too ...... you might know a couple of these guys ,maybe all of them ? Matt Boyd , Al Banuelos , Marcel Harnois , Tom Riche , Joe Lucero and Jose Lopez come to mind ...... did you breed your own dogs ?

I know Al and Jose. Al is an amazing trainer. Jose is an amazing decoy.

Some people have also had good results with acupuncture which can help them with pain quite a bit

The closest acupunctureist for dogs is an hour away and I can't drive. She takes gabapentin Rimadyl and tramadol. And liquid health glucosamine 5000. And she eats a raw diet. So all of that together seems to be working.

It would be a very tough choice.

Dog probably. ..parrot is a very close second...cats third...

My old age is already planned: I will have my parrots and my tortoise. ..mostly because I won't have to walk them or struggle with kitty litter bags...lol. At the very least I should be able to handle changing the paper and cleaning water bowls...*keeps fingers crossed*

 

[Levi the Leopard]

A well balanced dog, hands down.


Our faithful old man here. love this guy!

i figured you know some of those folks , maybe some of the others you'd know through their dogs ..... matt boyd owned hi-jumpin mike , schlll , and off him has produced a lot of titled dogs . banuelos got predator from kyle symmes , off him he got ike and nikko ....... kyle symmes is another west coast guy , his dog rattler was chance in the movie "homeward bound" ..... Tom Ritchie like Jose was a highly respected decoy ..... Jose has produced some hard AB's and owned some historic dogs........lucero , bred and trained bandogs ....... marcel has titled ab's in about everything you could title a dog in , his dog malo you may know ........ all of them real dogmen and trainers , in a profession filled with hacks and frauds ........ you wouldn't happen to know the Bybee's?

 

[Tom]

you wouldn't happen to know the Bybee's?

I don't think I know them. I might know their faces or their dogs names. I stopped in 2008 because OJ resigned as West Coast Director of PSA and that was my club.

I think very highly of both Jose and Al. Al helped me prep for Nationals one year and I won first place with both of my dogs in two different classes. The guy is amazing. Jose is second to none in a bite suit. I have great respect for his skills too.

How about Luciano? Great guy, and he paid me a compliment when I first started in PSA that I'll remember with gratitude for ever.

Is farting an English bulldog thing? My friend has one who is a big lap dog and insists on sleeping with her mom which is normal to me. My dog used to sleep with me and now I love to have my cats around. So one time I was spending night with her and we had to share her bed for few hrs... Well, Beulah Mae (the Bulldog) was a fart machine!!!! I thought I wouldn't live to see a daylight! It was TERRIBLE!!!! In the morning once I didn't have to worry about waking up my friend I catapulted out of that bed and couldn't run fast enough outside to get some fresh air. My friend didn't seem to be bothered. She said after a while she stopped noticing it

I'd say yes . My Boston's and the English bulldog fart all the time . They say it's from getting to much air as they choke down their food . So you turn their food bowls up side down so they eat slower . Then put them outside for a bit to run off their food . Then they come back in and crash in their bed .

Very cool! How well do you think they would do with long distance running? I'm actually going through the process of adopting a German Shepherd mix. Very intelligent dog.
