Dog pics

Our Irish Wolfhound and English Mastiff [they were owned in separate decades of our lives w/ dogs, so no wars fought] on the other hand could be walked with a piece of string or yarn, or just whatever token of control was laying around...

I've had wolfhounds for over 25 years now.....got two laying beside me as I type this.....and I'll agree they are fairly easy to walk on the lead......until they see something they want to chase.....that first step is amazingly fast and powerful and is more of a lunge of 10' thru the air......you are going to be pulled along with them for a while....lol......at their size you are not going to out-muscle them......the biggest surprise I've had with this breed is their speed......on a straight line run they are as fast as our ex-racer greyhound......change of direction is a whole different story......so if you have a wolfhound running towards you just get the heck out of the way......it's like getting hit by a freight train.......I've had a few hospital emergency room visits......lol.......Jack

Last weekend my dog Angel sat still long enough for me to actually grab a handful of pictures with my new Note 9 phone camera. She is dirty and needs bathed.... but trust me... that is no simple task with this dog. She thinks that you are trying to kill her if you bathe her. It takes 3 people. But fall is coming, it is time to do the deed, no matter if she agrees or not!

Is that a Lab? What you need is a swimming pool. My daughter has a black lab and they can't keep her out of theirs.

It is some sort of Labrador mix, but she is deathly afraid of water. Even rain. I've had dogs for 40 years and never something like this. We suspect that her original abusive owner may have used a water hose as a punishment and now she relates water to being hurt... since he beat the heck out of her head. Her ears are all hard scar tissue, the vet suspects from being punched/kicked in the head many times.

Bless you for taking her. I have little use for those who abuse women, children and animals.

X2 on the kiddie pool Son had a yellow lab and he would get in the kiddie pool and roll around in it for hours.

Our Shepherd hates baths. But loves chasing a water spray outside. So I where her out chasing the water spray and get her soaked up good. Then climb into the kiddie pool and give her a bath after the fights been worn out or her.

If you try to bath her in the tub, it looks like a water bomb went off in the bsthroom and takes two people for the bath.

Wife had a wolf hound when she was living by herself in her first apartment. This was in Houston. Guy tried breaking into her apartment. Wife opened her bedroom door, let the dog out, then closed and locked the door and called 911.

Police came and get her 10 minutes later. The wolf hound had the guy pinned in the park by his throat and wouldn't release the guy.

She had to keep the dog at her grandmother's after that. Her grandmother was walking out to feed the dog when she passed away. Dog was chained to the back bumper of a junker Toyota pickup missing the axles and sitting on the ground.

When they found her grandmother, the wolf hound was laying next to her crying and howling up a storm. The dog dragged the truck 40ft to get to her grandmother's side.

I had a wolfhound in my younger years. I used to let him chase deer on the local golf course. He could clear 6’ fence with no problem.

Those who mistreat animals may have deep problems and often show up later in life mistreating humans that can't defend themselves.
