      Ha ha, he arrived today. He's either a German Shepherd or a Husky mixed breed, former Romanian street dog.

      Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

        @Tone your dog is awesome. It's a Spuds McKenzie dog! That's so sweet!


        Here's a sideways pic since I can't get pics to post properly. At least it's not upside down.

                  @Tone it just occurred to me that you probably (most everybody on the forum, too) aren't aware of who Spuds McKenzie is… He was a cheesey 80s Budweiser advert star.

                    I remember Spuds Mckenzie. I can't see a bull terrier without thinking of him. Obviously, my young childhood was filled with beer commercials.

                      @sabergirl Until today I didn't know what a bull terrier was. I always thought, "Spuds Mackenzie dog" in my head.

                        I'd never heard of Spuds tbh mate, must have only been in the States?

                        Anyway just googled him/her http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spuds_MacKenzie  🙂

                        Great dogs, but not for the faint hearted or people of a nervous disposition!

                          Leo has now been with us for three and a half days and is now really coming out of his shell, he definitely has a lot of Husky in him as his behaviour, markings and shape remind me so much of my last dog….without the psychotic tendencies.

                              The last one was great at recall, although we had been told the same. Although he's a mixed breed it's clear that husky is the dominant part, so if we do it won't be until he has built up significant trust.

                                Dog update - he destroys his bed daily and also anything pinned to the front of the fridge and yesterday a pair of Pams trainers she carelessly left out in his way. Anyone have any experience with Kong toys to combat this?

                                  Gav is he a shelter dog? Give him a bit time but show him also who is the leader of the pack by giving it clear signs what is allowed and whats not in a respectful trust way. I would not allow any destruction at my home, Jessy did fortunately never anything because i did not allow and i had her since puppy. Try to train some situations with treats or something when he behaves good. I work also a lot with the leash if the dog does not behave like keeping it at the leash at home while i do something like cooking or so and dog is waiting under the table or somewhere he can see you. Just ignore him while doing so, he will learn quickly.

                                    Sounds like the dog needs more activity to occupy his mind. Have you tried the dog park?

                                    Kong is ok, and is probably ok for your dog. My Rottweilers can still dig grooves into them with their teeth

                                    West Paw is indestructable in my experience. We strongly favor those

                                    I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                      Kongs do keep them occupied. I found though that even with Kongs and loads of other toys if he was in a c*nt mood he ignore all the toys and pick something else. Lost both playstation controllers and the Mrs lost a leather boot.
                                      All you can do is try kongs, toys and chews. If he can't be trusted there is always the crate option.

                                        Kong toys are the dogs bollocks mate, no pun intended!

                                        I have an English Bull Terrier a breed renown for their love of a philosophy of 'seek out and destroy'
                                        He's almost 6 now and is on his third Kong, they are virtually indestructible. I only change the Kongs when they are looking 'tired'

                                        Well worth the money, go for the large size!

                                          Have you crate trained the dog yet? We've found that the crate is the most useful tool we have for them.

                                            Whatever you do, don't for for Nylabones if you have a chewing breed. The toys will splinter into sharp shards
