Is your property fenced?

crittercrazy- here are a few more.. we have 25 bears that we can identify as just like with any dog breed, they dont look alike really. Here are chinstrap, Gimpy, girl bear, twins and scarface.

Here is some more wild life. We also have bobcats but I have never been successful in getting pictures. Here are deer, turkeys, grounds hogs, and sharp shinned hawks.

Wow. You look like you live at a great place for wildlife. Lucky. I'd give anything to have a family of deer on my lawn

We bought this house for the view... like this.. All of this off our deck.. My dogs love the serenity of the place, but i have to watch them allllll the time with the wildlife. As long as the wild life knows we are out there, its fine.

**Husky15** · 10-25-2006, 01:31 PM

Oh my goodness. Those are the most awesome pictures and that is like the best view. Are those mountains?

Wow. And I bet you'd have to keep an eye on your babies, bears can be pretty dangerous.

**borzoimom** · 10-25-2006, 01:35 PM

We can see 4 towns and 5 ridges.
The bears are basically harmless as long as they know you are around. soooooooo we talk in the yard before the dogs go out and if I have to walk to the mail box etc. These are black bears, and not grizzleys. Interesting place let me tell you.. rofl..
Femka the tricolor, treed a bear twice. Both were rather young- about 200 the first and about 300 the second one.

OMG!! Borzoimom I am so Jealous!!! I would love to live there!!!!

**Husky15** · 10-25-2006, 01:40 PM

Wow, that's really cool. I'd love to have a great view like that when I get my own home. Yes you would definitely have to watch out. I hear bobcats are pretty vicious too. My sister's best friend lives in a place with woods all around and they have to look back every ten seconds for coyotes and have to bring a weapon of some sort because the bobcats are known to hide in trees and pounce down on a person walking by.

Do you mean like 200/300 pounds?

**borzoimom** · 10-25-2006, 01:46 PM

Our kids are grown and on their own, but come here for the vacation resort mentality on the weekend.. Here are a few more views... And of the dogs watching the deer when they were babies..

**Husky15** · 10-25-2006, 01:50 PM

Wow. How cute that your doggies are watching the deer and the little groundhog. I'd be watching them too

Yes 200-300 pounds for the small ones. We have two bears, Yogi and scarface at over 800 pounds.
Femka already killed a coyote. I hated it happened but Borzois are so fast and their double suspension gallop makes them almost silent. It doesnt sound like 4 feet hitting the ground but rather a foot propells them forward alternating. Then they run along side the "prey" and grab the neck. Instantly dead with a snapped neck.

**Husky15** · 10-25-2006, 02:03 PM

That's amazing how the Borzoi runs. And they can even kill coyotes

. And 800 points is a lot lol. Great picture by the way. Is that Femka?

**borzoimom** · 10-25-2006, 02:08 PM

That is Hottie. Femka is the tri color.. Then the black and white without side spots and taller is Zubin and with smaller black and white with the spots is his sister Galina. This is Femka with her red teddy..
They are like greased lightening!

**borzoimom** · 10-25-2006, 02:24 PM

Here is all 4 left to right- Hottie, Femka, Galina, and Zubin .. I tried to load Zubins show picture but it said it was too big a file but you can see him on my website in show.
