Sorta... Jeffery kinda was a joke but it really fits him we will see if it sticks. Bernard is the bernard colored one and Rumely Jr. I have dubbed him so far because oh my GAWD he is a BIG ONE. lol.
Then I look at the size of that pile and think how in thre world did she fit ALL OF THOSE inside her 6 hours ago? God, I'd be smiling too if I was finally able to breath again!
She truly is majorly relieved LOL.
Look at momma smilin'! Ain't she just the proud momma!
Yes... he really is... He is what you would call an LGD fail.... He just doesn't have what it takes... he is a house pet, that is what we bought him for but we would still like him to not let the UPS and Fed Ex men into our home without barking.... He is JUST starting to do this at 14 months old. Slow to develop but so worth the wait. We do not need to use force or any sort of physical correction on him. Just a stern talking to and he is done with whatever it is he did wrong. He does take things that don't belong to him often but if you say his name sternly he knows. Call him to you and he will bring it to you and drop it. That doesn't mean he won't take it when you're not looking and do it WELL at that. But he will do it. With him learning what and what not to bark at currently I never dismiss anything he is barking at, I will take him outside and do the perimeter check with him and a flashlight to ease his mind and mine. These are always followed with praise to reassure him that he is doing the right thing lol. I would LOVE for him to be a daytime LGD but he loves us too much to be away from us when we are home.... He is a lover. even sometimes an over lover with all his weight
Stella has great instincts for what is good and bad. Our Pyr we had before Rumely taught her a lot of LGD ways but her parents were also used as livestock protectors (since they are not LGD technically lol) so she was raised around all of that very early on.
A loving Mama and an impatiant Rumely
Do you still love me?
