Quick Bio:
Likes:
Thick straw to sleep in, a brother to play with and laying in the snow.
Pet-Peeves:
Coyotes! We haven't seen any, but we hear them on the hill near our home.
Favorite Toy:
A big blue Jolly Ball. Sticks in their field, They lost their nylabones somewhere in the straw.
Favorite Food:
Any, but they love bully sticks to chew on. They get Eagle Pack Large Breed dry food.
Favorite Walk:
Around their fenced pasture. They are not leash-trained and almost never leave the pasture. When cars drive by (right next to their pasture) they chase the cars by running alongside, inside their fence.
Best Tricks:
Escaping from our barn by pushing on the large sliding door! We let them roam free (inside the fence) after their second barn escape the next night.
Arrival Story:
These are the first dogs we have bought from a breeder (the others are all rescues), our first working dogs and our first outdoor dogs. They will live in our barn and guard our alpacas.
Bio:
Bukka and Josh came from a breeder in Nebraska. My husband met her in Cheyenne (WY), the halfway point, and drove them home last night.
Forums Motto:
Watcha got? I'll guard it!

The Groups I'm In:

Blues connection:
Bukka (pronounced "Book a") White was a Delta Blues musician, possibly related to BB King. Josh White was a Blues songster/performer.
Bukka:
He's a bit larger and less dominant. We cannot pet him in front of Josh, because Josh will attack him. Bukka is an "old soul " and he looks it.
Josh:
He's smaller and was more shy, but he warmed up very quickly. He dominates Bukka and wants to eat ALL the food.
Coloring:
They are badger colored (with brown markings), not pure white like some Great Pyrs. Bukka's markings are scattered, but Josh has a big spot on his side.
Josh's estimated weight:
100 p0unds
Bukka's estimated weight:
110 pounds

Puff is the coolest dog in the world and he is sick! They don't know the exact problem, but his liver enzymes are elevated- grrr. If only I could bark at his enzymes until they behaved!
Puff is kinda little, but he has a Great Pyr sized spirit and has always given me wise, mature advice. Despite my rebellious nature, I really appreciate that.
My mother has never succeeded in doing a link to another dog's page, but Puff sent me the big bone on my page, so you can find him that way.
Puff, I love you, buddy. Please get better soon. Big sloppy kisses to you and your Mom Marilynn...
Josh, feeling oddly serious and mature

Wrote to a Dogster group called Troublemakers Anonymous and asked them to do an intervention on me!
I'm SO mad- I've been good for a whole WEEK and this is the thanks I get?
Watch your back, Bukka- you wanna see how much trouble I can cause?

Puff, we may need you to intervene on our behalf.
Mom is still giving us weekly treats, but they have changed- instead of the traditional bully stick twisted shape, they are flat.
Sort of like giant tortilla chips...
Dad says they cost 1/2 as much as the twisted sticks, so Mom plans to start giving them to us more frequently
We like them, so I hesitate to bring it up at all. They are yummy and they are just as big as the old sticks.
I worry though- is there a hidden meaning here?
Do flat treats equal flat performance?
Do you think we are in danger of being "downsized"?
Bukka says our positions are secure, but I can't help wondering.
I have caused a bit of trouble, but I've been boring- I mean good- for a whole week!
What do you think, Puff?
Josh, feeling a bit insecure
