V8 Beast Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) The kids asked if we could foster another pound puppy so I gave in.... http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i89/xxtheonlyxx/SNC00191.jpg Zues is an 19 month old Great Dane Boxer mix. Weighs about 80 pounds and is still growing. So far he's been crate trained and is getting a lot better on his leash. He's fine with me but when he knows I dont have the leash he tries to take control. He is 100% house broken, learns tricks very quickly, but is stubborn as a mule. If he doesnt see a treat sometimes he looks at you like... "and why should I do that" lol. In the last 3 weeks he's learned down, sit, heel/stay, up, off, come, cage, outside, and drop. Now I have to get him socialized and to stop jump licking people that come in the house. In about a month he's going to make a great dog for someone.

V8 Beast Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Zeus gives a new meaning to the word energy! LOL! He calms down after a few minutes, thats the boxer in him. On the great dane days he'll lay around for 8 hours without moving a muscle Edit: He's watching tv right now like he actually understands what the heck is going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 lol your running a puppy mill/rehab center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 That's awesome! Bring him to the cook out Saturday, that will get him use to people it might be a hand full though. Good work, my G/F is always wanting us to "foster" a new dog but to her the word foster means keep forever and we already have 4 dogs so no thanks. now we're just in th business of watching other peoples dogs for $$$ not a bad gig actually.
