This is my boy, Carl. He’s been through a lot the last few weeks. He had his stomach “flip” over and had to have emergency surgery. Three nights in the hospital, three weeks rocking the cone, an incision 11” long, and endless hours of worry and lost sleep…My fuzzy friend is up and starting to enjoy some light play at the park. Bloody Hell…
Word of advice; If you don’t have insurance on your pets, you should strongly consider it. I did, and it made a near devastating loss of my dog and financial impact a navigable situation.
Duuuuude the second picture broke my heart, poor little buddy, hope he is back on his feet and ready to wander soon

Here's Chicken on the picket line trying to figure out how to hold the sign and then after, wondering if any of it made any difference at all.

@Punatnik have you found any downsides to training you do for Schutzhund / IGP?
I'm interested in the sport, but here in Victoria, Australia, it looks like training for the sport would automatically mean they're considered a dangerous dog. :o

Yes…
It is expensive, time consuming and addictive.
But it is cool sport if done correctly.
You want dogs that are active, balanced with high drive.
They may not be ideal companion dogs.
But it goes to any working dogs. ( hunting, herding, sledding).
I manage my working dogs differently than my companion dogs.
But all of them are safe around people and animals.
Good with my kid.

Fantastic backdrop for a handsome pup @Bums_Fan

Thanks @Punatnik.
I think that there's a worry that training a dog in bite work might make it a bit more bitey. From what I've heard of participants in the sport, it actually makes them less likely to attack. But the public perception remains.
It does look interesting, and I can see where the addiction comes from. I'm not sure how well the breeds I like would take to it.

@Punatnik i can’t imagine the hours you have put into training. I’m struggling with getting my dogs to walk on a leash without pulling.
Lots of articles being written about this dog doing his job.
