Bo Peep loves the Gladiator especially the sliding rear window.

I know this is an older thread, but does Bo get to ride inside ? I have two frenchies... they are very strong and have thick, stout toe nails, I have the upgraded leather and wondered if it would last a day. What has been your experience/recommendations ?

We have one, her name is Pixie.

I have two, boy/girl... Mr. Pinto Bean and
Ms. Juju Bean

Can we see a picture? They are great dogs. My wife is obsessed with her.

Yes, they are the best, I have owned many breeds, but these have been the best/most fun.

Our 5 crazies. We are big into rescue and GSD/Husky breeds. Ages 12/8/2/3/10 estimated except the middle one, we actually know his birthdate and have AKC paperwork on him. They each have quite a unique story that doesn't necessarily start out nice, but we like to think it's progressed into something better. Although they may lead you to believe we don't feed them or the 47 games of fetch and tug are not enough every day

We had a Golden named Murphy too.

Here is our Pit/Boxer mix. He is a rescue who had a terrible first nine months of life. I can’t believe how bad some people treat animals. He’s living the good life now!

I am currently trying to convince my wife to let me rescue my 3rd herding dog, a mini Texas heeler to go with my two border collies. She’s not budging so she might just have a surprise when she comes home one day.

People told me a Texas Heeler would be too much dog. Donut is perfect. He’s definitely intense, but I spent a lot of time socializing him and just gave him a full time job finding and retrieving different colored balls and frisbees. He’s the smartest dog I’ve ever had. Although, it does take a very laid back kind of cat to tolerate his herding tendencies. His cat version of heeling is to lift them up by their ass with his nose and push them around the house. The orange cat seems to like it.

I think a Texas heeler would fit in just fine in our house, we currently have two border collies that have super high working drives. One will fetch all day, the other pays no mind to toys but will chase her nip at the ankles, because that is how they usually work in tandem to move a herd - second dog follows the eldest’s lead.

I’ll have to separate them to make sure the second gets the love and training he needs because the first is so dang dominant. They sure do love to cuddle up together after a long day though.

We got the second to tire out the first, I suppose a third will tire out the first two. We also have aspirations of moving into the country, away from the city, and having three dogs that need more than our above average backyard to run and play, maybe even a couple of childrens will make sure we don’t lose sight of that.

I noticed Donut would run around and nip at the cats legs, which looks pretty funny. He was never rough and the cats would let him know very quickly if he was getting too far out of line. Like an idiot it didn’t occur to me that this was of course Heeler behavior, and cats were the closest thing he had to cows. They’re like little tiny cows with claws, and he’s trying to get his head down to the ground to their cat ankles to drive them around the house ?. He’d do this and drive them up onto the furniture. Then they’d come back for more. I realized it was a game they’re all playing. I’d be more concerned with behavior like this if I had a toddler but he’s been good around older young kids. I just supervise.

He came from a ranch in NM and his mom, a Red Australian Heeler, was their primary herder. Dad was a Mini Australian Shepherd who they also utilized, so he’s got it in his blood. Even with all the energy, he’s a perfect size and so easy to train. I’ve had much bigger dogs and it’s more challenging all around. Heelers, Border Collies and Aussies are perfect Jeep dogs.
