Whatever you do don't ever consider getting a blood hound puppy (pic from today)
 

I am helping a friend train this guy. He is like a drinking buddy who you have a great time with but end up fighting with every weekend. This dog actually barks at me when I scold him. He pees while he walks and it looks like he is trying to write his name with his piss. But I love him and his is my friend. His name is Duke and he is 7 months old. He is going to get way way bigger than this.

Beautiful dog.

His ears hang in the water bowl when he drinks. What a mess. LOL

Have Luck in your training :thumbsup

This dog looks amazing... :)

:1orglaugh beautiful dog!

Nice dog.

Hope you have lots of space and time for a dog like that.

What a handful, but a good buddy when well trained.

That dog is cute!

nice dog !

my darn dog is pushing 170 pounds these days

aww, he is so pretty - he has a sweet face.

I have a Lab/Mastiff Mix and a European German Shepherd and they are huge too - they half ass listen to us - when they want to. lol

He'll learn eventually, be patient.

You better get some pro help training him or you will regret it.

He stays at my house often and he drinks like 5x what a normal dog drinks. But then he just pees it all out so his piss is like water with a slight musky smell. Then he emits this very strong musky smell from his skin and it soaks into everything in my house so after he leaves I can smell him for about 2 weeks. He is house trained but the moment I open the door and his nose smells fresh air he begins to pee:1orglaugh

He is cool in the fact that he is like a gator when he is in the water and to often totally submerges his head exploring things on he bottom of the lake. I have never seen that before from any dog. Another cool thing is he loves climbing all over downed trees. He often likes to take the path less traveled. A total explorer if I ever saw one.

He's adorable! Good luck, will take patience :)

Ahhh .. I think he's trying to make you his bitch. Stay strong ;)

Yes he is quite the strapping young stud but I have never seen any dog more terrified of coyotes. When he hears them he runs back to the door almost breaking it down.:1orglaugh It is obviously an innate instinct because he has never actually seen a coyote. I took care of a Siberian Husky a few years back who would actually chase coyotes.

that's weird for sure...my dog is afraid of rabbit but the other morning he tore out after a coyote...didn't come back for about 5-6 minutes either...

In addition to your beautiful pup, your lakeside setting looks amazing.

very nice looking dog

You gotta be careful because apparently one coyote will lead the dog back to it's pack and they all go in for the kill.

Beautiful dog mate. I have a Staffie and she`s my best friend. Very unusual for a dog to duck right under the water! He certainly sounds a character. :)

Beautiful dog :thumbsup

he's 7months old, train him well and i'm sure you'll be saying something different

Good looking dog . Let us know when he has you all trained .
