chasta Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I fancy myself as a behviourist too even tho i have no qualifactions so while i go off and find an obscure book to plagarise, for now i will say that the ridge deffinately keeps the dog well balanced unless its wonky and thats what makes the dogs behavious wonky too. Ive seen it once on a RR that was 600m across a field so i must be right Ah that explains it.. OB has a wonky ridge so thats why his behaviour is outragiously soppily, stupidly wonky.. of course! Nice ridge Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranirottie Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I agree, Di's ridge is quite spectacular but she lacks the whorl at the top I am sure that this must make a difference to her wonkiness.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) I have however been bitten by several shih-tsus, a westie, a couple of yorkies and on sunday did a great impression of an irish dance/lord of the dance routine as a Lhassa went all out to eat my ankles There's a ridgeback in Beverley who wanders in the pub & is anything but aggressive, tends to shy away from people if anything Edited May 31, 2008 by Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estweyn Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have been bitten by a red setter, a dobe and a jack russel. All my own fault really, red setter was in a off licence I worked in and two men came in at closing time, the dog was loose, I grabbed his collar because he did go off at people coming in shop and he turned on me... Dobe was fighting with my dog, I got hold of dobes collar and he got my thumb Jack russel was running riot in kennels my friend owned and I picked him up and got nipped as a result. Note to myself, dont get involved, let em sort it out themselves I have Never been bit by a gsd, a staffie, a rottie, or a RR--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachelpirate Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Note to myself, dont get involved, let em sort it out themselves Easier said than done, isn't it? Sounds like me... at work when I first started I was told not to try breaking up dog fights. But how're you supposed to just stand and watch?
