Odin

[hiphoplyricalrobot]

I once knew a pup named Odin, who went to live on a freinds building yard as a guard. He is not little anymore, this is him today. Scary bugger, neeedless to say i didnt get out the car!

[alza]

cracking dog..

[hiphoplyricalrobot]

It looks a bit ruff but hes well looked after. He gets tossed the odd donkey etc.

[jaysteph]

looks nice and mean lol

[alza]

neil how big is he?

[dog]

Is that the dog I met before? He looks a bit more...errr "confident" than he did then.

[ianhurley]

mean as a junk yard dog.

[Griffa]

nice dog mean as they come that one. is he let lose at night or is he alwas on the chain. theres a dog on the farm behind me and thats always chaind up i feel sorry for the poor thing i think he is to scare the foxs away coz he keeps geese and chickens

[matt]

GOOD BOY!!!!!!!! a dog with a job. i recon his building supplies are safe there.

[ianhurley]

only thing i would say, is it is quite possible for the dog to jump off or fall off those slabs and hang himself, would be much better for a dog on chain to have a piece of flat ground. i.m.o

I was going to say just that, i would be scared of him loosing his footing and then hanging himself.

[hiphoplyricalrobot]

Good point about the chain, ill let them know, but ti think the dog stands higher than the plinth so no danger if he does. The dog gets walked for an hour a day round the neghbouring farm! hes a stunner imo, about 22" an 60 lb.

[hiphoplyricalrobot]

They did have Rotties, but since Odin, AB's is all they want for the yard!

[ianhurley]

even if he is higher than the plinth, if he is at the end of that chain and fell it would be possible for him to hang himself, i think it would be a good idea to have a chat with them and at least bring it to their attention, then if they choose to do something about it or not! then thats up to them! great looking dog though.

only raising the point, because of some gypsies i knew had a jack Russel that hanged itself.

[ianhurley]

either breed would suffice, rottie or am bull. they would be my first choice if i wanted something guarded, or a bloody good bandog!!!

[Griffa]

my mates got a music studio in a industral site it is well fenced off and not a public footpath but kids smash thing up down there i said he needs a guard dog but he said its crule to leave them there on there tod over night but as long as its well exercised and feed it would be happy woundnt it is it wrong or is it ok do you think

[ianhurley]

personally, i think its cruel if a dog is condemned to a life on a chain, but if the owners take time to walk the dog and inter-act with the dog then i can't see a problem with it, but suspect 99% of chained guard dogs never get taken off their chains!

[ianhurley]

if you have two of them roaming free with good kennel even better, but costs more and in this day and age with burglar's rights of passage! you would be treading hot water!

[Griffa]

ya tell me about it i was talkin to my mrs about it were do you stand if i have sing say dog lose in yard and he will bite and they still come in to my yard and get bit i will still get done and the dog prob put down is this right. i had a sing but the kids nicked it lol

[ianhurley]

if the sign says ENTER AT OWN RISK you should be ok ive been informed

[jaysteph]

this is as you could argue u were not sure he would bite. but if you just had a sign saying beware of dog they could say u new this dog would bite. it is a scetchy law really. my mum has been reading up on this as she has 2 doberman's and they would tear u a new arsole if u broke in lol

[ianhurley]

i think not me old mate, you can't expect them to be able to read. what if their dyslectic?

[ash]

i had a sign up cos kaito barks at everything tha comes the house not sure if he would bite an intruder but didnt wana take any risk but then i was told cause it ad danger gaurd dog on it he had 2 b outside in a kennel on a chain or we could get done but dnt no if tha was bull or not

[ianhurley]

some feckin idiot jumped in with a polar bear the other day, thought it was like a cuddly toy and wouldn't eat her!! and i bet their was a sign!!

bit of a nut nut there though

We had a sign up and have now taken it down for that reason it dont cover us for insurance - its a grey area because of it being private property.
Ivana and Butch gaurd our property and are roaming - they both do the job very differently but im preety sure no one would try getting around nearly 200lb of meaty dogs!?
Odin is a cool fella - got huge feet!!! lol
