Quick Bio:
-purebred

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!

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


My goody four paws brother...

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?

Josh, plotting my revenge on Bukka


Why are our bully sticks FLAT??

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
