REECES

[th1b.taylor]

Reeces is about three and a half months now and until Saturday, terrified by water. The vet, without knowing our , opinions, informed us she had been, both, physically and mentally, abused. Saturday was spent with my daughter and a couple of her friends and their Hounds. Reeces was so upset on the ride out to the Stock Pond that she puked but on the return she has gained confidence and a bright outlook on life. Human or Critter, it is amazing what a small amount of voluntary exposure can do.
She is one beautiful Chocolate Lab Mix and she loves my wife to no end.View attachment 9892 View attachment 9893 View attachment 9894

Beautiful dog Bill, but after your explanation of her mental state and gaining confidence I expected to see pictures of her walking on water; not wading and sitting in it. Oh my; take her back to your psychologist vet, pay a bit more money and see if they can give a better prognosis of her becoming something more that a mutt.

Eugene,
My greatest concern with crossing over has been the safety of Deeter and my daughter. At the rate she is growing, I see her landing on the top end and maybe a solid 70 pounds with no fat and the way she loves Deeter I know she will die defending her... my kind of a dog and me nearing the Point of Cross Over. Already she must sleep beside Deeter's legs and no place else, a great sign.

The funny thing about us is we are both Wolf lovers and one year, as we were cleaning up from a night of crafts for VBS, a three-month-old Tundra Wolf appeared at the glass door of the Family Center, looking starved to death. (It ain't notmal to find an Alaskan Tundra Wolf anywhere in Texas.)

We took her home, the Vet said she was healing from a broken rib and wanted to know if we understood she was a wild animal. Deeter named her Sugarbear and Bear lived with us for almost sixteen years before she became so ill we had her put down.

The thing is her breed gets to fifty pounds for the male and thirty pounds for the female and Bear was a perfect thirty pounds. But many of my Driver friends would not come to my house because I kept a Wolf and it was amusing to watch Servicemen enter the house and without them noticing me, the smart-ass swagger just fell flat on the floor when they saw Bear.

Now Deeter will have a 40 to 70 pound Labrador Mix that is nuts in love with her... I like!

I think all cannines are territorial. It's their nature. We have a Bichon Frise. We adopted him. He had 3 families before we took him in.

When we tell him off he goes and cocks his leg and pees on someone's bed or in a corner.

I would post a picture of him but when I try it's too large.

Wolves also get jealous of humans.my dog has.

Yes and I like him, like me he does not panic if he gets bit and believe me, 90% of training a K9 is the mental state of the trainer and the use of positive reinforcement.

They will accept you as the Den Leader, the Alpha Male but you had better understand you live in their house. I love their attitudes.

Mixed I will never own. Of all the attacks on humans, there is not a single one from a full breed but there are deaths by mauling from half-breeds. An Eskimo lady had six that killed her. The half-breed will wake up one day acting like a dog and the next day it might be acting like a wolf and it is important to know where they are before you approach them. You Do Not approach a wolf as though it were a dog.

You can walk right up to a dog. You do not approach any closer to a wolf than 10 foot or further back and you allow them to come to you after you lower the top of your head to the same level as their's. And as I mentioned, Bear owned the house and she let us live in here with her.

All K9s are out of the Wolf strain.

She arrived here with a peanut butter jar shoved down to her shoulders and was starving for oxygen in her blood. When Deeter got the jar off she was terrified of her and my daughter. In the last 5 or 6 weeks her universe has changed and already she throws anybody a belly to rub.

I have a wolf husky mix. The pure breed husky doesn't have short ears,sharper face,and a bushy thick tail.we bred out alot of their natural tendecies. A wolf will also bit guests in your home .I have heard those stories.not trained to do that

That would almost be pure bred. The Husky, to this day is still, very much, a wolf. They still act a great deal like the Wolf they were bred from and I would think not dangerous. I can be wrong and it would not be the first time but I would treat that one, pretty much, as a pure bred and it should be one loving, willing to die for you and yours critter, the type I have loved so much.

I have even, once, been found seated in the middle of a Country Road at three in the morning with a wild Grey Wolf Female and we were loving on one another until another vehicle happened along and scared her off.

Reeces arrived here weighing in at six pounds and about eight weeks old. She is now about fourteen weeks now and yesterday, as she got her latest round of shots, she weighed in at seventeen and a half.


She consumes puppy food like there is no tomorrow and I'll swear by, you can sit and watch her grow. Her and my Dachshund Faux Fight, the first thing every morning and they are the delight of this old man's life.
