I have spoken.
Awwwwwww. This is a wonderful thing👍
Dogs are amazing. I will add, their ball is stuck in the tree and that dog’s trying to get it down. It’s on a strap— you can see it if you look for it. But I mean, mad skills.
Given the height of their leaps, can we agree this is a valid case for using portrait-orientation video?
Awesome athleticism from those good doggos.
If I could do that, that’s all I’d do all day
not to mention wagging your tail while you’re doing it!
Duuuude. Nice.
I heard that this level of unlimited energy is why Belgian Malinois make for challenging pets.
“Wait, they can climb trees now? F@#K!” —Raccoons
Belgian Malinois make for challenging pets.
… and then some… My sister had, at one point, 4 Belgians and an Aussie Shepherd. Walkies was always an exercise in pack management, but they were so much fun that at the leash-free park we often ended up with more dogs at the end of the walk than we started with. As my wife learned, don’t hold onto all five leads when the minivan pulls up and the door opens…
My sister now keeps greyhounds. Cats in dogs’ clothing.
I knew someone with a Malinois. He had a working vocabulary of almost 100 words. You could talk to him in plain English and give multi-part commands, and he understood perfectly. He aced the certification for Search & Rescue, so the dog draws his own paycheck for being on call 24/7, and when someone needs help, he gets hazard pay until the job is done, which is more than both of his owners make combined.
Some breeds of 'coon hounds are known for limited tree climbing.\
I thought that was what we were looking at, but with the kanji at the bottom I am thinking it is another kind of dog… though maybe a breed they use to tree some animal in Asia.
I did say yesterday that Kelpies like to climb;
The local squirrels are going to get a nasty surprise.
Dogs can do that?!?!
The human race doesn’t deserve dogs.
