These were also taken this morning in the woods where they found a hole and Gaston was determined to dig and find out exactly what was in that hole. Roxy also wanted in on the hole gig then Gaston got mad because he found it first so they had some words and I ended up grabbing both up and back into the house for a time out!!!!!

OMG, how funny....fighting over a hole, hee hee.

Awwh too cute! Last time Lexus found a hole, it was full of hornets :O Not a pretty day!

 

[LTH]

I never thought about hornets yikes!!!!!

 

[brumwolf]

If it was a foxhole and you were in this country you would be arrested for foxhunting with dogs

 

[LTH]

brumwolf, I even have the horses to go with the fox hunting!!!!

 

[Acooper]

Well that just doesn't seem fair.....it was his hole, he found it first

Looks like a lovely walking area.

 

[LTH]

Acooper, I guess that was also what Gaston thought!

 

[DreamDoby]

It looks so nice out there. The last hole my dogs found was a rabbits nest. I hate when they find those.

 

[LTH]

I hope it's not a rabbit's nest, the last hole had a very p-----off possum in it!!

A dog and a hole is a lot like a kid with a box, isn't it? We spend a fortune on toys for both kids and our dogs - the dogs fight over and love a stupid hole in the woods and the kids seem to have more fun with the stupid boxes the toys come in than the actual toy

Hope that hole doesn`t have those ground bees. We did that last year. Tamora`s face blew up where she got bit.

I vote that it's a tortoise hole. And hey, unless Gaston has a deed to that real property, it's fair game for Roxy. Finders keepers unless there's another dobie around...

And TJ, at my house cardboard boxes are the cheapest outside fun toy ever for Oscar.

 

[LTH]

It really could be anything in that hole. I've seen possum, tortoise, fox, *****, armidillo's etc. I'm just glad Gaston didn't come face to face with what ever it was!

 

[BackInBlack]

Great Pics I didnt realize what a big boy Gaston is! Rommel has found a hornet hole also, it was no fun.....I got stung pretty bad and almost wound up in the hospital, he got stung numerous times also...was no fun.

OK, is it just me or am I now getting paranoid about Gaston's size. Everyone keeps saying how big he is. He is 94 lbs.and solid muscle. His Dad and Uncle weigh the same. Everyone said when he was in his 80's that he still needed to bulk up. He started to bulk up about a month before he turned 2 which was this past October. Also when he started to bulk up there was no increase in his food, he just put on more muscle. OK there are lots of males on this forum and a few that are around Gaston's age, how much do ya'll's boy's weigh?

 

[DreamDoby]

Don't get paranoid LTH. I think it just depends on the dog. Whatever looks good on the dog. As long as they aren't skinny minnies or chunky butts. Asher weighed last at 82 lbs when he was in getting his stitches out. He usually flucuates around 80-85 lbs.

 

[Sooz]

I agree w/DD and would add as long as he's happy and healthy (and it sure looks like he is) no need to worry. He's gorgeous! Sounds like Gaston's genetically predisposed to be a big boy like his male relatives. We'll weigh in tomorrow but I'd guess Oscar's under 75 lbs..

 

[bleh60]

the doberboy i used to hang out with was 3yrs old, 85lbs.

Bone structure has alot to do with being able to carry weight. Thick bones, long bones, short bones, fine bones just like people. Two people same height different structure one looks good the other looks like a dumpling smaller frame. He looks like a great well balanced MALE dobe to me. He doesn't look oobie.
As for the whole if it's snakes run cause that would be the only time I could run faster than my dobie. OH Yeah he would be eating my dust!!!!!
