This is a good way to summarize how dogs probably feel. They agree to do stuff they don't understand, just because their human asks them to. The trust in their human is the most important reason for them.
As a mastiff owner myself, they can be very stubborn and to get a dog of this size to do the course in general with out just laying down in one of those tunnels and calling it quits is amazing.
k9ä5å#5h mastiffs are war/protection dogs. They are more physically capable than you could ever fathom. Mine used to successfully hunt deer alone. While agility isn’t his strong suit, I can assure you this didn’t hurt him at all. Maybe if he was regularly jumping 4 ft+ drops it would have a negative effect.
k9ä5å#5h if it helps, I was thinking the same. He must really love his owner, because with his size likely his joints can’t take much of this, and likely his hips can’t either. Dogs deserve to live their longest, happiest lives 🤗
mastiffs are so focused (someone may say stubborn) that they really can do everything they set themselves to. but they'll strictly do it at their own pace. which is just a little slower than a glacier's 😅❤️
With previous knowledge of my big male Rotty, my guess is that this boy isn't tired - he's just laid back. Our head trainer used to say 'he'll always do what Sharon asks... but in his own sweet time😂😂😂😍
@@MrWhoevr LOL. I thought about that too. However, he did so well through the slalom event because the distance between the poles were so close together and his ability to "snake" his large body through was enough to gain an extra point.
@@MiVidaBellisima my inlaws have had a couple of Mastiffs and they're the most lazy dogs to ever exist, they won't move unless they absolutely have to, or if there's food at the end 😂
From my experience as a dog trainer, a handler might win more ribbons with a border collie or some other small dog that zips through the agility course, but that's relatively easy. Getting a dog like this to negotiate an agility course, even slowly, represents a much greater challenge and deserves a special category of ribbon all its own. Kudos to both dog and owner!
@@staciemarie5859 I have two Presa de Canarios which is a breed from the same family as the Mastiff. They’re large and very independent minded and they would look at me like I was crazy if I tried to do agility! They’d be like, “Why?” Watching the big guy make his way through brought a few tears to my eyes! World-class performance for sure! Awesome dog and amazing trainer!
@@deliriousrobinnails300 Independent minded, well said! I'm so in love with this boy but training him has made me get the full understanding of words like stubborn or Independent minded 🤣 I've normally had Golden Retrievers who are completely opposite. I'm a wee bit more stubborn than he is though...I hope! he's only 8 months so he'll be out of his enormous puppy stage soon 💜 I'm still amazed every time I watch this incredible dog and trainer!!! Enjoy your gentle Independent giants... I know they enjoy their beautiful Mama 🐾💗🐾
I agree if you’re looking to win but if you’re looking for a fun activity to do with your dog agility is great. (I don’t recommend all the jumping with breeds like mastiffs though)
@@Name-hn1cs Your absolutely right. I try to keep my boy from jumping to keep his joints strong. And to keep the giant out of my raised garden. Lol, not raised enough apparently 🤣 That face, who could be mad he's got a carrot in his sweet slobbering mouth? Not this dog mom! Just build it higher 😅
There was an elderly wire haired dachshund that was training in agility when I was. His “jumps” were just poles laid on the ground, and he sauntered through the course rather like this guy, but he loved it. You don’t need a hot-shot border collie to do agility, it’s a wonderful thing to do with any dog. Just leave your competitive spirit at home and just have fun with your dog.
@peternagy6847 Can you confirm the rumors that this Mastiff asked the judge face to face about the buzzer & the judge said "My finger slipped & it was a mistake. Im sorry!"
I saw one of these jumping towards me, or rather saw him when his chain stopped him from falling me a few years ago. He was there lying down, then on the air. They are Not slow. When needed.
I met a cat like this once. He was old, fat and ponderous, I could describe him as "slow, but purposeful". He wouldn't run, just march, paw after paw, down streets and corridors. He didn't waddle, just had this slow, inexorable march, amplified by his considerable bulk.
the most popular agility dog at crufts nearly every year is a little rescued terrier called Ollie who mucks it up constantly. But he makes everyone laugh with his antics so he's the peoples favourite no matter how badly he does.
As someone who owns this particular breed, I am genuinely impressed. I cant imagine the patience that owner must have to motivate this dog to do an agility course even at that pace. Incredible
XD he did look awfully reluctant on that first tunnel. Seemed like he almost didn’t want to but I’m guessing due to the bond and love between handler and canine, he relented. Such a good boy.
I have a mental picture of trying to get Deva (3yo EM bitch) to run this course. The tunnels would be a yes if I had placed a chicken frame on string and pulled it through first. The jumps would be a yes so long as playing through was permitted. The chicane would be a yes so long as she was on the lead and was allowed to wrap it around my legs.
A proper Uncle would never hand his beer to anyone. It is possible to play volley ball with beer in hand just you won't be playing very well that's all.
I'm so glad the judges allowed them to finish their course even though the time buzzer went off. That gives positive reinforcement to this lovely mastiff. Of course, he can't zip thru the course like a little dog, but he persevered and finished with only the one knockdown. So fun to see and kudos to the lass who handled and trained him.
The typical Mastiff tries hard to not bump into things. A good example is when they walk through a narrow hallway. They won't claw, scratch, or climb to turn around. They will walk backwards untill they have enough room to turn around without hitting anything. Fascinating to see. Of course it isn't a constant. Some Mastiffs are known as furniture movers. They won't walk backwards on their own.
All the ADHD terriers laughing at the goofy big guy, until they find out the second part of the competition is hauling a sled loaded with 500 lbs. of bricks up a 30 degree incline.
Yes! Third is shepherding. In the hunting ground of a wolfpack without losing a sheep. Or the shepherd. No fighting is allowed, will only guide the sheep and alert the shepherd When!!! there Is!!! a wolf near.
It’s actually pretty impressive that he clears almost all the jumps at such a leisurely pace. It certainly doesn’t hurt that he’s the size of a small horse, but still…
I was thinking that too! Every jump he made I was tensed thinking “can he clear it?!” Because it’s so hard to see such a large dog make that high of a jump at that slow of a pace. It’s really quite impressive.
As a 50 yr old, I'm now blessed to be the custodian of my 5th pair of Bullmastiffs. These are stubborn, firm and iron-willed dogs that will do nothing they don't want to do. Training them is a full time job. Big congratulations to the handler, and you could sense the big guy had a huge smile too
I'm 54 and I got my very 1st Bullmastiff 2 years ago. She has a bullet-proof noggin. 😅 She's a couch commando and not, errrr... not that responsive to training.
Well, every danger needs to close up, so his range is sufficient. When in his range, he sure looks very efficient. And no dog can outrun projectiles so long-range is unnecessary.
@@Mortthemoose Mastiffs are big dogs, and they know it. If they don't want to do something, they just Will Not Do That Thing, and they're usually so big and strong that their sheer physical resistance is difficult to overcome.

As the owner of numerous Mastiffs and Bullmastiffs she is talented to get him to do anything on the course. While very intelligent they are incredibly stubborn and strong willed. They do what they want when they want. They are wonderful.
He's obviously a good boy then. This means he wanted to do the course. Haha. Probably thought he was doing a really good job too, with everyone cheering him on.
@@petscraftsandwonderfulthin1279I was thinking the same: he must genuinely enjoy doing agility or he would've never gotten to this level of competition. I wonder if he had any "siblings" who he watched train first and became determined to be included.
Mastiffs are majestic animals. I once met some shepherd mastiffs in a little village in the mountains. They were incredibly huge and fierce, as they were trained to protect the sheep against the local wolves and bears. But at the same time, they were the gentlest and friendliest creatures, always eager to meet people and ask for some cuddles. Their owners (local shepherd family) treated them really well, and they told us that the mastiffs were the most loyal and reliable companions they could ask for. Since then, I have a lot of respect for these big bois.
My Boy is a Bullmastiff, had to put him down last year due to cancer unfortunatly. He had an amazing life of 11yrs and truly was my best friend. He would have done the course the exact same way "on his own time" and loved to cuddle or lay around. His name was Boss, it suited him perfectly. Miss ya good big boy ❤
For 11yrs you must’ve treated him real well. I grew up with an English Mastiff that was pretty much the same as the “on my own time”. Truly loyal and loving dogs
Yes. Love it. When he’s weaving through the slalom sticks it really cracked me up. He fully knows what the task is, and he’s gonna do it if she tells him to. But he’s not gonna really care.
Laura Wesoff Insulting people gratuitously is a laugh riot, though. How do you benefit from being so obnoxious? How does anyone else benefit from your rudeness? It seems that on social media someone - in this case you - feels a need to respond negatively even to the most innocuous comment. I should add that if your English skills are as strong as you seem to believe, you would say something more articulate, persuasive, or creative than “fuck off”.
@So Yoshimura I could call you a fool in just as many words. You're a fool. Waiting anxiously for your next banal reply. I'm sure you'll deliver on the banality.
@Hope 777 wow 90 seconds of that woman's interaction with a dog and you have a conclusion already. also, consider op is joking like most of the comments.
If you're an English Mastiff owner like I am or have been around one for any length time this video is just classic, he's just walking. Our Mastiff would have stopped half way and laid down, guarantee it. To see him come out of the tube for the first time just had us cracking up.
I train animals and know it's not the dedication of the trainer but the willingness of the animal, I'm so happy, the joy projected from the dog is infectious I can't stop smiling..thank you
You can see the dog adores her, you can feel it. If she thinks this is important ok he'll try. He couldn't care less about anybody but for her...yeah he really likes her.
I love his look at the first tunnel. "You have got to be kidding me. You want me to crawl through that without getting stuck in the middle? Do I look like a Rat Terrier to you?"
My father is an avowed Mastiff owner, now being on his third. If this were his dog, the lovabke brute would be muttering: "There'd better be some bacon at the end of all this..."
Jiggle the leash at a mastiff and ask, 'want to go for a walk?" He'll raise his head off the couch, look at you for a few moments, say 'nah'' and go back to sleep. My kind of dog!!!! Loved this.
His momma is guilty of torturing her pet. Every jump he did likely hurt him. Mastiffs aren't built for that any more than collies are built for combat.
I thought I should mention, I am just the videographer not the owner or trainer. I did briefly talk to his owner and his name is Zeus. He does agility in Denver and has been in the Super Dogs show during the National Western Stock Show for the past few years but I think he may have retired.
I remember watching a Rotti do an agility course... Caught up in the tire when he jumped through....then dragged the tire and frame over the bridge...tried to go through a tunnel...judge stopped the run to get him untangled....got through the tunnel....then knocked over the jumps and ran straight down the weave poles tossing a few right into the crowd Hit the A frame about half way up...and flattened it Finished the run...course in complete disarray....but...just oh so pleased with himself "Do it again?" expression on his face Brute force and ignorance will always prevail
Ive got a rotti, he's called bud. This is him all over, why go round it when you can crush it. Dogs a bloody bulldozer on four legs. Also got a alaskan white sheperd, he'd just look at you like your nuts, "whadda ya mean fetch the ball?" "You threw it,you go get it" i think you get the picture😁
He’s just like, “Hey, if this is important to you, then it’s important to me.”
“Just not TOO important”

More than I can say for myself
And did an excellent job on those weave poles!! That’s a hard one for big dogs.
This was a fun video to watch but the weave poles part was actually impressive

This hilarious! He’s like “this is so stupid”
😂😂😂😂🙃🙃🙃🤣🤣🤣🤣 YUPP!

He's like, "Dammit Sharon, not again with this shit !!!"
lol he is like a moody teenager.

She’s like, “Wait, you gotta go around this one!”
He’s just like, “Yeah. Fine.”
Doggo's human: This is a timed course.
Doggo: I don't care.
Such dignity!

Clearly a much loved big fella who will live forever in your memory. What a beautiful boy. Stunning!
Could not agree more ! 👍
I will always remember this post. It was magnificent!❤❤❤❤❤
This doggo has no stress. He's like "yeah, yeah, whateva". So funny.
When you're 200 pounds with 4 on the floor, EVERYTHING is "when I'm ready and how it suits Me!" LOL.
I love mastiffs.
😂😂 he did look pretty bored by the whole thing 😅
Like a bus driving on a race course^^
No he's not mark
I thought the look on his face - you want me to do what? 😂
Somehow, "mastiff" and "agility" just don't seem to go together.
I love how he's like "OK, I'll do this... my god, humans are easily entertained...."
"I'll do anything for a treat"
I imagine him with a whisky and a cigar afterwards...
He's like: " next you want me to chase a ball or something, i resent the steroe type" 😂
Not true at all. Cane Corso it's quite an athletic dog. Sure, not as good as a malinois or had, but it will get the job done
@@abandonedbucharest7704 dont get me wrong..i love mastiffs, and all bull breeds.
And just dogs in general..😊
after all these years of searching, i have finally found my spirit animal.
Best comment ever!
So graceful and chill. His tail wagging as he completes each task. What a happy, happy and clever boy!
UA-cam: Hey, wanna watch this mastiff take the agility course at a leisurely pace to enthusiastic applause?
Me: Sure...why not.
I have to begrudgingly admit, youtube targeted suggestions nailed it this time
More like, "drop everything, that's all I want to see right now."
I'm pooping so I figured why not hear a applause.
If you have ever tried to train an English mastiff you will know how warranted the applause is lol! ... bless em
@@pepperwoster1469 I feel sorry for the dog. His legs would be killing after that.
Fun fact - he actually won the competition as all of the remaining competitors were mysteriously eaten.
Not gunna lie, you got me in the first half
😂😂😂🤣🤣🙃🙃🤣🙃
As the owner of numerous Mastiffs and Bullmastiffs she is talented to get him to do anything on the course. While very intelligent they are incredibly stubborn and strong willed. They do what they want when they want.
They are wonderful.
I don't know how intelligent my Mastiff is, but she sure is strong willed and stubborn!
@@Gwenhwyfar7 cute!
I have had BMs and DDB, stubborn is an understatement. I could not live without them, they are my main joy in life.
He's obviously a good boy then. This means he wanted to do the course. Haha. Probably thought he was doing a really good job too, with everyone cheering him on.
@@petscraftsandwonderfulthin1279I was thinking the same: he must genuinely enjoy doing agility or he would've never gotten to this level of competition. I wonder if he had any "siblings" who he watched train first and became determined to be included.
Im So Happy that People were Cheering for him!! He Might Not be Super Fast But He Finished it!! Good Job!! Well Done!! 🤗👍🥇🏆👏
He's just pacing himself, so he can use his speed when it counts - when the dog treat is in sight! 👍
Or a good looking young dog!
Or an intruder on the property
The energy of the crowd. The perseverance of the dog.
10/10
He’s saving his energy for when he has to chase Benny the Jet Rodriguez for a Babe Ruth Autographed ball
This is great.
Is this a Sandlot reference? It has been *years*
Horseshoecrabwarrior it sure is
Nice
Underrated Comment.
I have no idea why but every time I see this it makes me happy. Thank you for posting it.
Mastiffs are majestic animals.
I once met some shepherd mastiffs in a little village in the mountains. They were incredibly huge and fierce, as they were trained to protect the sheep against the local wolves and bears. But at the same time, they were the gentlest and friendliest creatures, always eager to meet people and ask for some cuddles.
Their owners (local shepherd family) treated them really well, and they told us that the mastiffs were the most loyal and reliable companions they could ask for.
Since then, I have a lot of respect for these big bois.
Where did you meet them
@@adamtailor9012 Little village in the Cantabrian mountains (spain)
Those were spanish mastiffs or french mastiffs?
@@adamtailor9012 I think they were a local breed but I'm not entirely sure :/
You know dogs used to be as big as bears millions of years ago
My Boy is a Bullmastiff, had to put him down last year due to cancer unfortunatly. He had an amazing life of 11yrs and truly was my best friend. He would have done the course the exact same way "on his own time" and loved to cuddle or lay around. His name was Boss, it suited him perfectly. Miss ya good big boy ❤
😥
For 11yrs you must’ve treated him real well. I grew up with an English Mastiff that was pretty much the same as the “on my own time”. Truly loyal and loving dogs
I'm sorry bro
Fuck i didnt know dogs could get cancer
Yeah he was very well treated even went in at 8yrs old for surgery which probably gave him a few extra years ❤ and wow thanks for the likes!
That's dog be like
"Why are you running?"
"Why are you running?"
[Incoherent screaming]
Why are you running?
Are you okay?
Is someone chasing you?
It’s 7 in the morning.
😂😂😂😂
Slow is smooth; and smooth is fast. That Mastiff is so incredibly fast and adorable ❤️❤️❤️
Serves an important life lesson- everybody has their own pace at being successful
Yes, thank you!
Awe I needed this lol
Same here!
Sure..........
@@josephr.buchan467????? What you trynna say?
Am I the only one can hear a deep grumbling voice say "omg linda slow down I'll get there when I get there"
Nope, I hear it loud and clear too. "Slow your roll, Linda, I'm doin' my best here."
omg hahaha.
Thank you thank you this made my heart SMILE. He is so wonderful. DARN WONDERFUL. LOVE HIM & his Mum.
Also hearing, "There better be a lot of dog treats at the end of this thing."
He barely had to jump. He can almost step over most of the poles.

@@detroitbloodrunsinme8194 how is he a hater
it's an english mastiff, a breed not really athletic, agility isn't really for them. cane corso would be way better.
My man was so proud of himself at the end. Good job.
The way he’s moving so slow but doing everything correctly 😂 Slow and steady wins the race. Claps for him!
Yes. Love it. When he’s weaving through the slalom sticks it really cracked me up. He fully knows what the task is, and he’s gonna do it if she tells him to. But he’s not gonna really care.
You can almost read his mind 'running is for schmucks and I'm only doing this cause I love you'!
❤❤👍
The way it bounces while recovering from a jump looks like a tank that just cleared a bump and is rocking back and forth on its suspension
@Morgan Freeman *Top Kek*
evocative. nice. strong.
I sincerely appreciate this analogy
Mastiff be like "slow and steady wins the race why are you in such a hurry?!"
Having shitty English skills isn't really funny.
@@laurawesoff5732 Oh look. It's that one person trying to ruin everyone elses day. Find one every video. Fuck off
@@Saladowo Idiots make my ears bleed, ruining my day. Fuck off.
Laura Wesoff Insulting people gratuitously is a laugh riot, though. How do you benefit from being so obnoxious? How does anyone else benefit from your rudeness?
It seems that on social media someone - in this case you - feels a need to respond negatively even to the most innocuous comment. I should add that if your English skills are as strong as you seem to believe, you would say something more articulate, persuasive, or creative than “fuck off”.
@So Yoshimura I could call you a fool in just as many words. You're a fool. Waiting anxiously for your next banal reply. I'm sure you'll deliver on the banality.
It makes me so happy that the crowd is cheering for him so much!
Was so awesome of them.
... Who's gonna 'Boo' a dog?!
Okay, cat owners, maybe... =)
It may not be fast but other then knocking a pole, big guy was pretty clean. He's also very lovable. He wins.
He had nothing else planned for that day. May as well take his time and enjoy it. =)
You got a mastiff to do anything at any speed is amazing. 😂 great job 👏🏻
It's like watching an M1 Abrams tank running an obstacle course! :)
+FedralBI Both are very fast and heavily armored.
An Abrams tank competing in the Pikes Peak Rally.
You mean a Challenger 2? Since this is an English Breed, May aswell use an English/ British Tank ;)
FedralBI 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol yeah I was thinking the same thing.
He’s like: this lady should have got a border collie, I am not the breed she was looking for 😂
Oh, this is just an exhibition. She's not doing it for serious, she just wants to show off her big, brave doggo.
@Hope 777 are they that sensitive?
Looks to me like this lady loves her doggo just fine the way he is 🥰
Hope 777 true! I have a border collie and a blue healer!
@Hope 777 wow 90 seconds of that woman's interaction with a dog and you have a conclusion already. also, consider op is joking like most of the comments.
If you're an English Mastiff owner like I am or have been around one for any length time this video is just classic, he's just walking. Our Mastiff would have stopped half way and laid down, guarantee it. To see him come out of the tube for the first time just had us cracking up.
I was afraid he'd pop out the side of the tube, lol. Did agility with my boxer bullmastiff for fun but she failed...knocked over too many obstacles :)
Mine would have laid down part way through.
mgrinirvine Congratulations! Love those Mastiffs!
@Glen tennis Thats just bad breeding. Breeders should hip and elbow score and screen for dysplasia before breeding their dogs.
I have a bull-mastiff and I can barely train her to sit let alone all of those things.
Crowd favorite from the sounds of it. Such a good boy, he did very well. Love this so much.
FACT-CHECK: the dog was moving so fast that the uploader of this video had to slow it down significantly so that we could see the dog
If that's fast then I cant imagine how that lady shouting ININININININININININININININININ must be in actual pace!
I train animals and know it's not the dedication of the trainer but the willingness of the animal, I'm so happy, the joy projected from the dog is infectious I can't stop smiling..thank you
Hes happy. Thats all that matters
You can see the dog adores her, you can feel it. If she thinks this is important ok he'll try. He couldn't care less about anybody but for her...yeah he really likes her.
Mastiffs are the best. Our dog, Winston, was the whole barnyard: chicken, horse, and pig. Our Winnie Pig was the best damn 🐶 Miss him everyday
do you train animal?
I love his look at the first tunnel. "You have got to be kidding me. You want me to crawl through that without getting stuck in the middle? Do I look like a Rat Terrier to you?"
As a mastiff mom, I love this ❤❤. I know the patience it takes. But you know he would do anything to make his mom happy!
A most humble beast. He knew he could dominate but his inner chill prevented him for setting a world record. What a king
This dog is my inspiration. He makes us humans look ridiculous without uttering a word. He seems to be saying "REALLY?" I love this dog.
I kept imagining him saying "why? Ok...."
My father is an avowed Mastiff owner, now being on his third. If this were his dog, the lovabke brute would be muttering: "There'd better be some bacon at the end of all this..."
Jiggle the leash at a mastiff and ask, 'want to go for a walk?" He'll raise his head off the couch, look at you for a few moments, say 'nah'' and go back to sleep. My kind of dog!!!! Loved this.
I love the dedication of which he is doing the bare minimum 😂
He never run
He need a rest
But most importantly
He do his best
This is the best response.
James Tolson Yes it is, awww this made my heart so happy
Awww how lovely♥️
This dog wins an award for participation
He's really a loving dog. Its just that, he doesn't want to turn down his momma.
His momma is guilty of torturing her pet. Every jump he did likely hurt him. Mastiffs aren't built for that any more than collies are built for combat.
@@basedbear1605 prolly hurt him as much as a guy in his 30s doing hurdles, relax.
@@jimpa7011 Way to show that you know nothing about Mastiffs. And that you're a douchebag. Relax yourself.
@@basedbear1605 sorry didn't know a peta enforcer was in the youtube comments today.
@@jimpa7011 Aww that's the best you got, little douchebag? I'm not surprised.
Slow but steady. That dog really is such an inspiration for me ❤.
He looks like he’s enjoying himself. Cute grin on his face !
I think he hated every second of it...
Looked like: _"WTF is the point of all this?"_ face to me
@@lastmanstanding5423 He did it as a favor....
he's chillin', just enjoying himself, he don't cari he fast or not !
It doesn't matter how slow as long as you're headed in right the direction.
damn bro. this made me tear up
@@user-ef6gv4wv1l keep walking in the right direction bro.
He may not have had the best time but he FINISHED the course.
That's fantastic. You can time that big fella with a calendar.
+DoktorStrangelove LOL! Witty.
😅😂😃 good one!
typical mastiff and that i why i love them.
DoktorStrangelove 😁😁😁😁😁
Ha ha ha!!!!! BEST COMMENT!
What a champ! 🏆 You know that was enough exercise for the day!
I thought I should mention, I am just the videographer not the owner or trainer. I did briefly talk to his owner and his name is Zeus. He does agility in Denver and has been in the Super Dogs show during the National Western Stock Show for the past few years but I think he may have retired.
Then even more props to him for being older!!
+Hans Watson What a perfect name for such an impressive dog! Love watching this.
He is magnificent!!! Love you Zeus!!
I had a mastiff named Zeus, lol.
It seems he was semi-retired in the video, but I was cheering him on anyway.
THAT was gorgeous!! Doing it in style and at his own pace!! As my Dad would say:"Proceeding in a manner befitting his dignity!!" 😊👍
I remember watching a Rotti do an agility course...
Caught up in the tire when he jumped through....then dragged the tire and frame over the bridge...tried to go through a tunnel...judge stopped the run to get him untangled....got through the tunnel....then knocked over the jumps and ran straight down the weave poles tossing a few right into the crowd
Hit the A frame about half way up...and flattened it
Finished the run...course in complete disarray....but...just oh so pleased with himself
"Do it again?" expression on his face
Brute force and ignorance will always prevail
@ALS ALS
I would love to see it too but it sounds like they saw it live.
@ALS ALS 👍👍👍
Omg I want to see this 😂
Ive got a rotti, he's called bud.
This is him all over, why go round it when you can crush it.
Dogs a bloody bulldozer on four legs.
Also got a alaskan white sheperd, he'd just look at you like your nuts, "whadda ya mean fetch the ball?" "You threw it,you go get it" i think you get the picture😁
When was it?? Someone must have taken their phone out??!!
Oh my. I loved that so much. Good for you, big boy. I'm sure you're still doing agility over the 🌈 bridge. ❤️🐶
All's I want to know is...." WHO'S A GOOD BOY!!!"
