Tell us about yourself: My name is Karen and I have a dutch shepherd, Xander, born 6/14/13. He is my second dutch shepherd. My first was Rawly. Even though Xander is my second I still have a lot to learn. That is why I'm here, to learn, get advice, and meet people who love these guys as much as I do.

Pea Thief

Post by karenz »

Every time we shuck field peas Xander steals them out of the bowl. He lays down and "shucks" it so he can eat the peas. Sometimes I wonder about this dog. He does some silly things.

Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

love the pic of Xander contemplating the bowl of peas.

2 days ago, a neighbor stopped by to say hello, so i picked some tomatoes for him to take home. as i handed him the last couple, my Xander came running up to him offering a big green tomato.

they are amazing dogs.

Xander was waiting at the pea bowl for an opportunity to grab one. He also steals tomatoes and okra out of my garden.

Johninny I can picture your Xander running up with a big green tomato in his mouth. That's funny.

I Think it's hysterical that Dutch walks into the garden munches on anything that's in there climbs the apple and cherry tree and helps himself. Then watch Greg scratch his head not knowing what happened in the garden till I I told him.

What are field peas? those look like beans!

Xander is so pretty. Mobil and turbo have figured out which container has the carrots, and since they already stole all the beans and peas, have begun pulling out carrots to eat.

They are kind of like black eye peas or crowder peas. He loves them. Xander likes carrots too. Sometimes I think he likes veggies more than meat.

Heather H: Xander hasn't tried to climb any trees yet but the only tree we have with fruit is a pomegranate tree. I hope he doesn't start stealing those.
