Dog thread

[Honey]

I'm a big fan of dogs and seeing as dogs and bikes are two of (if not) the best things to infiltrate human civilization how about a dog/ dog+bike thread. Pics of you riding with your dog, pics of your dog (pretending) to ride your bike, pics of your dog chewing on your dugasts. how bout it?

[Pete Serotta]

Sandy where are you???????

[spiderman]

i love my dog and used to bike with her
in a special cycling backpack made for dogs...
...until i found myself sprawled across the pavement
wiping out on a family vacation several years back...
we still paddle together regularly (first shot last week
up at our lake place in the bulrushes and the second
this summer with my three daughters in their homemade boats)
and the third shot is of her and me after riding support
for the leading ladies marathon this past august.
so, a few shots to get the thread rolling perhaps:

[csm]

nice boats.... I think I remember a thread about those before.
my dog, a lab, is over 13 yrs old and spends most of his time going in and out of the front door.
he was a great grouse dog only because he loved running around.

Spiderman, that first pic made me smile. Great Photo. :)

makes me smile, too...
...especially while i was watching my wife take the picture
with my telephone
straining in her own boat
to get just the right angle
without flipping over
and without being able to even see the screen.
i wish i had a video of her taking that shot!

these horses were pretty interested in my old hardtail.

gdw, that's a great picture. The horse in the foreground looks especially friendly.

Pushing 10 y.o. and with an arthritic knee, he's not going to join me on any bike rides or long hikes. Here he is last winter lounging around. He LOVES the snow!

Sometimes Zeus and I do intervals just to tucker him out. Then the second pic is him in our tent on a backpacking trip.

My girl, Kira. No bike in the shot though. I tried hooking my previous Siberian to my Mt bike with a harness but that did not end well.

your dog is indeed cute - is that him/her fully grown or as a pup?

[cdn_bacon]

She's just over a year at 5lbs now. It was tough to find headwear that small, we're working on an Ionos next.

[dogdriver]

OK, I'll bite. A pic of our recently departed. Not much for the bikes, more of a hiker and lounger... helped raise the kids, and the most accomplished Zen Master I ever met. Sorry to cast dispersions on the other excellent canines, but he was the best dog ever. Labs rule.

[goonster]

When he was tiny, he rode in a milk crate zip-tied to the front of the tandem.

Awesome pooches. :beer:

Nope. Looks like some guy loving his dog and vice versa. Can tell by the focus of their eyes and the way the guy is holding his dog's head.

Our son here in KC, who has a heart as big and soft as his parents, took custody of an emaciated pit bull today that was clearly being neglected by one of his so-called friends. There was an intervention apparently and Joel took this poor thing home. Going to the vet Monday and we're all going to nurse her back to health. Good news, she took to Joel's other dog, has bright eyes and is quite playful.

No - he was just checking out if he knew your saddle... good thing it wasn' a relative in brooks form...


I need to get more pics of my best friend... Truckie. He is the best dog (sorry folks) out there - bar none. At least he is to me...

He is snoring at my feet as I type. No biking with him, but we do run together. We had a nice 3 mile run today. The trolley trail (Oella) for those in the know...

He is perfect - runs right next to me, doesn't get distracted by the other dogs - just keeps pace. :banana:

i'd say APBT, he came from the shelter as a little bity pup. i'm his uncle. he's a sweet guy but can be intimidating to people that aren't used to big willful dogs*. in that picture.
i can tell in that pic he's waiting for some food to fall...

that doesn't mean he's disobedient though. he's a good dog.

Belles only retrieve yesterday. Also have a Boston, new computer, need to find a pic of her to post as well.

Well, actually no. I really recognize few professional cyclists. I thought that the photo was very interesting because of the dynamics of the interaction of your dog. I pay close attention to dog communications and how people react to dogs and vice versa. I thought the cyclist might be some pro. Much more interesting to me was how he was holding your dog's head, as is if he really liked dogs, and it might be his dog. Both were looking at each others eyes indicating to me a focus on each other. Wasn't sure, because the ears of your dog looked as if they might be down/back some.

I vacillated as I thought perhaps the cyclist was a pro or maybe he was you and you are on some cycling team.

I guess you can take the following from my comments- I thought that the cyclist might be you. I am sure you would love to have his cycling abilities.....

I have an adopted rescue shelter APBT. His breed was given as APBT. One vet thought he is an American Staffordshire Terrier. It really makes little difference as at one time the two breeds were identical. The American Kennel Club's American Staffordshire Terrier were all bred down from the United Kennel Club's APBT. In fact, a single dog can be both registered as an APBT in the UKC and as an American Staffordshire Terrier in the AKC (at least that was the case, for sure). But some say there is a difference as APBTs are bred for more reasons and hence they are more likely to vary in appearance and sizes. No matter what, yours is beautiful!

Not "too energetic", just bred to do a job for hundreds of generations.

Do dogs that live with a cyclist chase other cyclists (strangers) as they ride by the yard? :p

Just wondering.

[Dekonick]

Truckie tries to eat anyone who comes to the front door if he doesn't know them...

Same for the back yard. :)

I would not want to break into my home with Truckie on the prowl. Once introduced he is a changed animal - friendly and submissive.

I am blessed with five great friends. Kathy and Hayley, my buddy Tom, Isha the dog and my LeMond Maillot Jaune.

I couldn't resist dragging this back up. We had 5 dogs in the house Thanksgiving day, one new to the group. After the requisite butt sniffing, all seemed to get along. It's hard to see one of them, Buddy is hidden in my son's black jacket.

Wow! Are the visible ones all pit bull/pit bull mixes? Are some young dogs? Very impressive that they all get along. How many live with you? Adopted/rescues/breeders? Like to know more about them.


Impressed in MD,

Super Smart Shiloh Shepherd Sandy

[chuckroast]

Hi Sandy,

The far left (auburn colored) is a pit mix, got her as a rescue puppy in 2003. The black and white one that's next over to the right is the new one, one week in my son's house, 8 months old. She's a pure bred American Staffordshire Terrier and just saw a vet for the first time this last week. She's having to be nursed back to health, weighed in at 28 pounds this week. The invisible dog is a black lab. My other son has a beagle mix (brown and white), he visits at Christmas and New Years and they all get along. Finally, at the far right is a Boston Terrier/ pit mix that we acquired as a rescue in 2004 when she was a year old.

We were nervous about introducing the new one and there was a little bit of growling but everyone settled down and got along very well.

[csm]

I can just make out the black lab.....
