CECAA850 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 He is looking good there!!! How is his personality coming along?? He has an awesome disposition. Extremely playfull still. He's also very smart. It took exactly 2 days to teach him how to bring the paper. He's also the best dog I've ever had on a leash. The tone in his bark has finally lowered and we've gotten to hear a couple of his "stay away" barks, it took us by surprise the first time we heard it. He'll make you take notice.

germerikan Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Sion is still not all that good on a leash, for some odd reason she heels better without one. She does not pull much just likes to circle us a lot. I have been told some Malis just have this in their blood but have no idea myself. Without a leash she just about sticks on my leg, go figure.

CECAA850 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Well, it's been a while since I posted in this thread. Axel is all grown up and has a new (3 months old now) playmate Otto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Thanks. I don't know what it is about the little one though. We were hoping the big dog would teach the little one the ropes but just the opposite has happened. Axle is now digging and pulling up grass, which is something he never did till the new addition started doing it. They're a hoot to watch play though and get along famously.

Moderators dtel Posted November 26, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 26, 2012 Cool picture, I bet Axel really appreciates the playmate. I would say your house is well protected as a side bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 I would say your house is well protected as a side bonus. I think Axel is the best guard dog I've ever had, just ask Mallette or Lonelobo[:$]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 No doubt in my mind that pooch doesn't like big guys on crutches. Carl assured us he's a sweetheart. Okay, Carl. I must admit he has a funny way of showing his love... [^o)] I suspect many would get the same impression from my German Sheperd, who sounds like death approaching when anything approaches our back fence. However, she then throws herself at anything that comes through the gate in a frenzy of pure love. OTOH, I've had few cable guys or other sorts who were wllling to test that love without an escort. I like it that way...benefits of deterence with no risk to anyone. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 When Jeff (J L Sargent) came over last weekend, I had both of the dogs in their crates. Axel was sounding off (as usual) but Jeff wanted to see him. I let him out and Axle was all over him (in a good, friendly way). I don't know what would happen if I weren't there telling him that all is well though I have to admit that even when he has his ears back in that "I'm a good dog, love me" mode, he still can look a tad menacing. He is a big sweetie though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Fantastic looking dogs and I hate looking at this thread because it makes me want to go get a few but I know that I still have too much other stuff going on right now. Keep the progress photos coming.[Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
