A couple of pics from the litter reunion we had last weekend. Mom and Dad preparing for their go at a dude in a protection suit. They won't budge until released but Dad (black on face) goes beserk when he sees the sleeve go on!

Another pic of some of the babies geting reunited. Only 8 out of sixteen made it - some went as far as Florida! The docked tails were the result of them being kinked at birth. American Bulldogs are the best!

Those pups are adorable. People with pets are great! Enjoy!

Now on to my issue. My silky eggs started to hatch out today, a few days early and my brother was freaking out and started to "micro-manage" them. LOL, He sent me some pics to see if they look "normal"..... hmmmm. Anyways I thought they were really cool as he caught 2 of them just leaving the eggs.
Here's 2 of the pics and I'll post more when I get home tomorrow night Can't wait!!!

Can't type it on here, so I will say built like BRICK doo - doo Houses (if ya know what I mean) LOL but with super cute faces.

They are amazingly built, so very powerful looking, I admire them

I do have a question, you say they were waiting for the suited up protected guy, and getting excited, are they learning to attack?
If so , is it just a sport, and does this rub off into their home life/ people?

Sure are handsome animals!

They're not trained to "attack". With these dogs, its more of a game - like an exaggerated form of tug-of-war. They won't even get exited until they see the bite sleeve. They are also trained to "bark and hold" wherein upon command they rush the "bad guy", sit in front of him" and bark like crazy.

After the "bite" work is done you HAVE to let them run off w/the sleeve -shaking the crap out of it all the way. If not, they'll eventually lose their enthusiasm. At home they're so damn friendly their like a bulls in a china closet. At 95lbs and 125lbs respectively, their enthusuisam can be destructive! We have to clear any coffee or end tables of breakable items, their tails wag SO hard they'll smash anything in their way. If a stranger came in they'd probably line up to help pull the piano outside for him!

These are the perfect dogs for families. My boys' friends will come over and ask if they can go out back and play w/the dogs.

Bill

I never knew they got so heavy, My Old English that just died in Jan. was 110 lbs and same thing as you say , about your guys and their tails knocking things over . But with the sheepdogs, they are big and have bob tails but BEAR BUTTS, big wide back ends and everything goes flying when they walk past tables.

Your dogs look sweet faced, but I can see how strong they look also. Is it exciting for you to watch yours go at the guy with the sleeve? Must be!
