They've long been my and all my Dobermans' pet peeves. The owners usually call out "Don't worry, my dog's friendly!" as their unleashed and uncontrolled dog rushes mine with all the finesse of a freight train. I've taken to cheerfully calling back "Mine's not!" as I maneuver between my leashed dog and their galoot for as long as it takes the owner to come and get the dog, since said dog doesn't have a recall. sigh.<br /><br />The thing is, it isn't that their dog is friendly and mine isn't; their dog is rude and invades my dog's space as he's minding his own business next to me.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736113984873666007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914346453926040919.post-70984161647970579902012-01-17T09:10:36.776-08:002012-01-17T09:10:36.776-08:00I have yet to have any Mad Cow issues at Sunol.

Um, if we are getting charged, I don't think I'm going to try getting close enough to get an ear tag number!<br /><br />And, no ticks at all! Having dogs that tend to stay on the trail + a smidge of frontline spray seems to do the trick!2halveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02268960093227782475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914346453926040919.post-67571261558083535382012-01-17T08:46:56.680-08:002012-01-17T08:46:56.680-08:00Some years ago I was at Sunol with my cattle dog m...Some years ago I was at Sunol with my cattle dog mix. There was a bunch of mother cows and calves on the trail. I leashed up Tater and when we tried to circle around, one cow moved towards us, then she lowered her head, then she started pawing at the ground and advancing. I dropped the leash and let Tater do what a cattle dog should do. He moved that cow back to the group and we left. I since learned elsewhere that cows can be quite aggressive in Sunol.<br /><br />How many ticks did you find on the girls?Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479611812890195766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914346453926040919.post-28978203557097424582012-01-17T03:18:38.229-08:002012-01-17T03:18:38.229-08:00I don't know about dog 'shapes' but I ...I don't know about dog 'shapes' but I do know that the hunting breeds seem to want to bound over with a "Hi! My name is xxxx!" right in the other dog's face, and none of my border collies appreciate that. Even my most well behaved will at least turn her face away with a look that says "rude!" I always say that the herding breeds have a bigger personal bubble that you must be invited to enter. <br />On a related note, I asked all my herding friends if their dogs react to a little bedlington terrier that we see at agility on occasion, and they all said no; so movement and/or smell must have something to do with it...Border Collie Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331620731215675272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914346453926040919.post-81323091521207980052012-01-15T22:50:49.786-08:002012-01-15T22:50:49.786-08:00I love Sunol.
