Can your hunting dog do this?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Now I just need to teach him to wipe his mouth when he's done

[nofishfisherman]

Nope, my vizsla can't do that. I can't put a saddle on him and ride him around the yard either. Pretty soon you might be able to use your dog as your tow vehicle to get your boat to the lake.

Funny you should mention that. He's got a weight-pulling harness

Your dog is HUGE. I bet he is good balast to get the boat on plane.

So how tall is he when he stands on 2 feet?

Well, I am 6'2" and if he puts his paws on my shoulders and stretches out, he's probably between 6'6" and 7'. Gentle as can be, though. Our nieces and nephew crawl all over him.

Seems like the bigger the dog the more laid back and gentle they are. They seem to know that they don't have anything to prove.

The little dogs on the other hand, it seems like they all have some sort of insecurities about their size so they try to make up for by acting all tough.

How true. My bro-in-law's Yorkie tries to push Floyd around all the time.

"Floyd" What a perfect name for your Dog!

Seems to apply to male humans as well.....

How is the Dane in the house? Is he easy to control on walks and such?

Just curious because we have thought about getting one.

Thanks!

Everybody else's hunting dog could probably do it out of a different fixture.

LOL, he does that, too I'll take the sink over the toilet any day!

He's pretty laid back around the house. And he does very well on walks--my wife is 5' and has no probs with him. Of course, with a dog this size, proper training and socialization are critical.

Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions about the breed: ryan (dot) bielat (at) gmail (dot) com

Thanks. We are going to wait until the cat passes (she's 14) to get another dog (we currently have a lab) but I will take you up on that when the time comes!
