Where's the PPE? 
That reminds me of a story my parents tell about me. When I was about 5 my parents got me a toy chainsaw with a spinning bead chain. It must've been pretty cool because I still remember it. Anyways we opened gifts on Christmas Eve and before we were done I disappeared. My parents couldn't find me anywhere until my dad looked outside and saw me in the front yard in my PJs "cutting" the front yard trees!
That's why I love chainsaws I guess!
Thanks, I goofed when I mentioned the breed. I read the ad wrong. Our son caught it when he saw the picture of the puppy. We confirmed it with the seller. The mother is a Black Poodle/Flat Coat Retriever. Dad is 100% Golden Retriever. The ad said the puppy was a Goldendoodle flat coat retriever - reverse. I thought that the flat coat in the ad meant that the fur was flat. One of my brothers has a Goldebdoodle Shepherd that has all wirey hair. My wife and I had never heard of a Flat Coat Retriever before. The woman seller said the reverse is when you breed a Doodle dog with a pure Golden. My wife wanted to buy a pure Golden for $2300. We picked Bodie up for $500. He will be Vet checked on the 7th. If there are any issues the seller will take the dog back. From what I can see he is fine. He doesn't like being alone. He was raised with the parents, kids and cats. He is full of energy. To walk around our house which is built into a banking is a good 100 yards. I had him make 3 trips around the house yesterday morning on one of his many outside outings. He did 5 runs around the house total for yesterday. He did over 300 yards more of romping at our daughter's house yesterday afternoon. He is just a little guy and high maintenance right now. He only weighs 12.2 pounds as of this morning.

That's way too many firearms. You need to send that Savage this way, I promise to treat it right.MustangMike is the builder…..
I just like to be the “filler”
That is AI generated
Only when their bars get cocked.
That brings back memories. My great grandmother got all of us pj's every year. We got them Christmas Eve and wore them to bed. I'm old enough to remember missing a pin or two that held them folded in the package and getting poked.
I hope that everyone and their family had a great Christmas. We were busy getting ready for Christmas brunch and the puppy. I never touched my phone until late last night.
When my youngest brother was about 5 in the mid ‘60s he wanted a chainsaw for Christmas… He received one with a beaded chain too. I think it was a Homelite, or at least looked like one. My son’s former manager gave my 2 year old grandson a Stihl saw last year. The fact that they sell Stihl and Husky didn’t hurt…That reminds me of a story my parents tell about me.

Some kids have good up bringings.
. On a mixed emotions note, my son is the manager now… his former manager had multiple strokes a couple months ago and may never fully recover—late 40s with his youngest being about age 6. Sad situation… I went to school with his father.
When we went looking for pups, my wife was against me getting another hyper active Sheppard. So we looked at more "laid back" breeds. Settled on golden retrievers. The 2 we got are every bit as active/high energy as my Shepard was, they will be 2 in March and haven't slowed down a bit. This last summer we added a border collie to the mix, and he's just as hyper as the retrievers. Don't have any recent pictures of them. I'll have to take a few when I get home. Call them my 3 tards. Act like idiots when they are in full play mode. Great dogs all of them.

We’ve had a border collie for 2 years, and they are more human than dog , incredibly intelligent, ours need a ton of outdoor activity weather hiking or playing per day , my better half is a runner and takes him in the trails every day for a 4 to 7 mile run, if he doesn’t get his exercise every day he gets a attitude lol
, some people don’t realize they are were breed working dogs and need to do it daily, 
100% agree, needs tons of physical and mental exercise every day. Awesome dogs. Nearly too smart.We’ve had a border collie for 2 years, and they are more human than dog , incredibly intelligent, ours need a ton of outdoor activity weather hiking or playing per day , my better half is a runner and takes him in the trails every day for a 4 to 7 mile run, if he doesn’t get his exercise every day he gets a attitude lol
We had Rover for 18+ years. Purebred smooth coat border. We had to spell some words around him so he didn't know what was going. He lived to work the sheep and play Frisbee. I read where they said a border could travel up to 200 miles a day working sheep. Smartest dog I ever had. Now we have a border/heeler mix box of rocks rescue.We’ve had a border collie for 2 years, and they are more human than dog , incredibly intelligent, ours need a ton of outdoor activity weather hiking or playing per day , my better half is a runner and takes him in the trails every day for a 4 to 7 mile run, if he doesn’t get his exercise every day he gets a attitude lol
That awesome Steve , he luvs playing frisbee !!
Only thing Rover didn't like was thunderstorms. We took him to a Frisbee competition one time. While we were warming up several news reporters talked to us and said he was the best of all the dogs they had watched. He was perfect the first couple of throws when competition started.About the 4th or 5th one he went out and caught it and ran over to my wife on the sidelines and laid down. And that was it. About 20 minutes later a thunderstorm popped up out of nowhere.
I know they have bad reputations, but a lot of the pit bull + mixes are not super high strung and act very mature. The Grey ones often seem especially calm. They all NEED to be socialized, but they are often very good with kids plus very protective (and fearless). Pits don't feel pain like other dogs, so if a kid pulls their ear or tail, they don't give a crap. Ditto when they get shots at the Vets.
Border Collies are known to be very intelligent, but also very high strung.
Pits (and mixes) are also almost always available for free at any Humane Society place for close to free. They generally have short hair, so they are not cold weather dogs, but that also means they do not shed a lot.
Yea, I know, foolish to judge based on color, right? Well, Guiding Eyes prefers Black Labs, will work with Yellow Labs but you WILL NEVER SEE a Chocolate Lab as a seeing eye dog! Just the facts!

I never thought of that but your right, I have never seen a chocolate
Never seen any of them working as pointers.
I’ve hunted over Brittney, Visla, Red Setter (basically Irish setters bred to hunt… not just look good), German Shorthairs, and of course my English Setter. I had a Weimaraner with which I took walks while carrying a gun… total disappointment. A couple different trainers told me not to waste any time or money on her. I like pointers.Similar threads
