Walkies with the big dogs...many pics...

Yeah, I know a couple with husky who always goes back when he's called too. I suppose there are a few exceptions. He also tends to stick with them rather than running off. He tends to follow the guy about and focus most of his attention on him. If they are standing talking to somebody, he just hangs about or might go and sniff in the grass but never runs off.

Oh, I wouldn't say my dogs are quite that good! They wander about and if I stop they keep going. The one that are allowed off-leash are the ones who come back when I yell their names or when I shake the Yummy Chummy bag. The treat bag trick seems to be pretty effective!

Ah yes, they are suckers for food, lol.

Mind, I'm used to Border collies although we used to have terrier mix's as well and they used to all be off into the scrub and trees after rabbits. On certain parts of the walk, we'd hardly see them except on the odd occasion when we'd see a tan coloured or black and white blur flit across a clear patch, haha but they'd always find us again once they'd done, lol. We'd hear them more often because when they got close to a rabbit, they'd start yelping with excitement as they chased it....

Tehya, I ALWAYS love to read and see photos of your adventures. I enjoyed the photo of Earle taking a snow bath - I am glad he's feeling better! I hope the sore place above Pacer's eye heals up really fast. You and all the big doggers please take good care of your mum while your dad is away, please. Here are some pets for you all from me... *pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet
