This is our dog Khan, he is 21 months old and full of energy, literally!!!! He is a rotti, german shep (long haired), staff cross breed whom we have had since he was ten weeks old. He is as strong as an ox already and has dragged me around the floor on many occaisions so I am slowly learning to control him on his harness and lead. It's tough going at times as he gets excited so easily and just leaps around barking with joy and spinning about.
Off lead he is fantastic and comes when called, he's a friendly little soul but because he is a jumper upper and barks at you people think he is vicious which really really pissed me off!!!! Still once we break the habit of the jumping up I know it will get better, once he knows you he is quieter but does want loves and fusses before you can do anything else. He loves loads of doggies out waking but one dog on our walk he detests, it's a yippy snappy Shelty and if they ever crossed paths it would be fight night I can tell you.
He is spoilt rotten as you can see, he will eat anything and I mean anything including snails, slugs, fruit, cooked veg, tuna fish and most of all LOVES ICE CREAM.....that was daddys fault not mummy's by the way lol. I thought you all would like to see him enjoying the licking out of the tub ritual we have so he doesnt beg too much during the eating off it. He has a kiddies sleeping bag as his bed with a cow teddy on its pillow and a cow on the front all made out of a thermally type material and fur....he loves it. In fact he will not sleep without a pillow even downstairs on the couch he tries to steal it if he can. When he is relaxed he sleeps flat on his back with his front paws like a rabbit and his back legs splayed like a butterfly and his markings are gorgeous!!!! Mind you his face looks kinda goofy cause his jowls go all floppy and it makes him look like he is smilig rofl rofl. He is a cuddler of a dog and likes nothing more to snuggle into you head on lap of curled up in a ball as close to you as he can get. It's actually really nice and at times when I'm feeling low he knows and will spend time with me just lead down snuggled up to comfort me.
He is ball crazy but eats tennis balls if we are not careful, he would chase a ball all day long if he could, luckily he isn't a digger or I would have no plants in the garden whatsoever!!! You couldn't ask for a more affectionate and loving dog trust me, it just prooves the point that with the breeds in him that it's the owners who make dogs nasty not the animal. I would love to find him a companion to play with but he has to have the snip first as we dont want pups or two male dogs lol. Mind you they way he is one is enough at the moment.
We are also trying to get him used to his crate out back for when we need to leave him alone as we discovered ( to our cost) that he hates being alone and will do anything to try and find us ( which consists of being a beaver, dont ask, and barking til we come home. He is going to have to learn though as we sometimes do need to go somewhere where we cant take him
