doggz in tha' house...

Hey, ya'll just thought i would take a poll to see what kind of dogs you have watching your grow-ops. Mine's a rottweiler/german shepherd mix named Porkchop the dog. Got a black cat named blotter. I wish they were green so the hairs they get on the "garden" wouldn't show.

Collie/german shepered mix.

Rhodesian Ridgeback. She's a big girl, but no good around tender plants. Her tail will whack 'em apart, so she's not allowed where they are. She does let me know when someone's here, and keeps them back well enough.

I used to have a Pure bread Husky

fastest dog i had the privledge of owning..

We think our Black lab is part ridgeback because she has the ridge defined on her back

my evil black cat Gobbles watches my crops

110 lb. Labramutt. He's part Lab and part ???? Best dog I've ever had!!! I don't let him in my grow room though because he rolls around in god knows what outside and I don't want him bringing in bugs or insects that could cause infestation. He lays outside the door in the hallway with just his head poking through the door.... watching mommy tend to the OTHER babies in the house. He doesn't mind waiting patiently as he knows he is always my first priority baby

i have a border collie/aust.cattle dog mix..she is going to be 16 in dec.. so she is not on guard duty anymore, she sleeps alot very heavy sleep somtimes..she deserve the easy life now, not that she had it hard before...

i have a pit, gladly though he won't hurt a fly =) i trust the people who know about my plants so no one needs to watch them

That's a nice dog, Florida. He reminds me of the Ridgeback (the eyes). She hasn't got the ridge, for which I'm glad after I've read some of the stuff that can happen to dogs with strong ridges. She does kind o resemble a pit to some people, but look at a European Ridgie, and that's her. She was marked at the animal control as a "lab mix". Ain't no lab in that dawg.

Kelpie x border collie. He lets me know if anyone comes near the house, even up the alley way.

oooh ridgebacks are so cool, i can't believe y'all have them! i will admit i'm a little jealous

120lb pure bred german shephard. you dont want none.

hey NYC, i was thinking about getting a full bred shepherd so my rot-shepherd mix has a friend in the backyard... how are they when they're puppies?

Thanks Seamaiden!! I wonder if that is what my baby Jack is mixed with... a ridgeback. I've been trying to figure it out but I'm just not sure. I just looked up Ridgeback's and I agree... they do look similar to my Jack. They now have DNA testing for dogs so you can figure out what mix your mutt is. I think I'm going to have it done on Jack.

I hav a Norwegion Ridgeback... but i cant see it caause ive never seen ne1 kick the bucket b4.

A Norwegian, eh? Haven't run across one of those myself, though I did have a close encounter with a Mojave green.

He does have those "lion eyes", and Hazel's got the same thing going on. It's at its best when she's in deep, dry grass and focused on something, then she resembles the lioness. In that pic Jack's eyes seem to match his coat, that's a trait of Ridgies.

Oh he is so handsome. Give him a big hug for me and scratch on his butt, lol.

I have 2 Labrador Retrievers, pure bred. They keep me busy. They are 6 months apart in age so both 4. They have calmed down in the past year and have become great dogs. I could not imagine life without a dog in it, just pure love and joy.
Here are my guys, Bosco is the white one and Chester is the black one. They both love to take tokes too, always hovering around when we are smoking, lol.

Awww... nice, Chiceh, very nice.
You know what? I realized later in life that I just have a "thing" for big dogs. Not always huge dogs, definitely not drooly dogs, but I do really prefer larger dogs.
