My New Puppy

[Sully151]

Well, It happened. Opie hasn't been gone long and I wasn't ready yet, but my kids needed this. So here is our new family member and my new buddy. Ranger (like the one that works in the forest, not the ones in texas. I just realized this...damnit)

Good job Sully. Nice looking pup.

What breed is she?

Thanks for naming her after my favorite hockey team!

[Sully151]

He’s an Australian Shepherd. It’s kind of the perfect breed for our family.

Sweet puppy!  Congrats!

 

[Ray McKigney]

Cute pup. Congrats. You should have named him Astro (like the dog from the Jetsons, not the ones in Houston).

Haha. Edited. I love when I'm trying to be a smart ass and make myself look like an idiot instead.

Aussie! My first dog. Congrats man, theyre smart as hell, very loyal, and great personality.

Excellent move @Sully151. I’m sure it was tough to jump back in the dog game so soon but your kids have to be on cloud 9 right now.

Yeah, it was rough, but the pup and I are kinda bonding.

 

My wife and kids are super excited too.

Congratulations on your precious pup.  You'll be the envy at the dog park.

HA! We are shooting for being the envy on the hiking trail, climbing crag, and at camp.

Shepherds are awesome dogs. We raised Australian Shepherds growing up. I believe I read somewhere that Aussie's are rated as the smartests dogs on earth. 

We recently purchased an Anatolian Shepherd (Turkish) last Sept  from a breeder in Oregon, when he was 2 months old. 

Archie is now 6 1/2 months old.  He's going to be a big boy. Another great Shepherd breed! 

Check out the attachment link at the bottom for a short video of the night I brought Archie home to meet my wife and daughter for the first time.

I’ve got an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix, and I couldn’t be happier with him. He’s about two now (got him at six months). He’s got pretty similar coloring to Sully’s pup actually. Nonetheless, the dog is sweet as can be, responds well to training, picks up on words and patterns very quickly, and has a ton of energy to go with his desire to please. I’d say Sully made a great decision.

people used to say the same thing about @Adam, but then he had that terrible bath tub in-sink-erator disaster and everything changed.

Decided to share a couple photos of my buddy, Scout. Like I said, similar coloring to Sully’s dog. The fourth one down is from the first night I brought him home at six months old. Others are just random shots from the last year or so. (And don’t be worried by the pitt and bulldog in the one pic... Those three played together a lot at my old place and never were aggressive with each other.)

Is there a greater bond in all of nature than a dog and his tennis ball?

[Sully151]

Dogs really are the best. Let’s see more!!

@Sully151 we need updated pics of your pup. I'll post some of Archie later on.

Two of my old partners. Lost both last year, within about a month of each other. One to old age, the other had to be put down out of nowhere, had a giant tumor on his spine.

Dogs in general you get attached to. K9s you get really close to. That was tough. Both were perfect dogs.

@Sully151  Cute dog.  Ranger is complete with the coke smear around his nose.  Let's just hope he doesn't piss all over the place once he got traded to the Angels.
