BC-owner

I would also like to say that I am going to have his neck, and health checked out. I did notice that he had a piece of rice stuck on his fur just under his neck. Along with his food last week I gave him a small amount of white rice. Well one little piece must have stuck to his fur, just under his neck. It dried up and sort of matted into his fur. It is also a spot where he cannot easliy reach. So on a positive note I hope all this grief was simply caused over a tiny piece of rice. This boy loves to keep himself in tip top shape.

I want to thank everyone for there comments and suggestions. Today we did not take our early morning walk. We started the day at about 7 this morning. The boy was definatly a little quiet. He knew I was a little late. We started the day off with some fetch out back. We continued along with our normanl routine, as always I could not stop thinking about how great this guy is. We went for the last boat ride of the season. He had a great time and got to play with his friends at the beach. No leash problems at all today. He was also fine with putting on his life jacket. We arrived home for some more fetch. He is now quietly rsting up, and getting ready for the next adventure. Once again I want to thank everyone for there help and suggestions. I have been a long time lurker here.

Your first paragraph makes absolutly no sense. If upon entering the house I am removing the leash, Wouldnt you think that we went out together? and also walked back into the house together? Why would the dog not recognize me? As a matter of fact, we have taken a walk everyday at 4 A.M. since he was 11 weeks old. Sounds like you didnt even read the whole post, you just wanted to jump all over someone. I am also very sorry that my dog gave me a hug. I didnt mean to ruin your day. On a side note my dog so happens to be very, and I mean very well trained for his age. That is the mystery here.

No this is not just rough play. yes my dog has playfully made a hole or two in a couple of my shirts. He was just excited and knew that we were going out to play ball. No big deal, he was 3 or 4 months old at that time. This was full blown lunging and not letting go he was growling like no tommorow. I have a piece of my sweatshirt 6 inches in diameter that he ripped of me, along with the t-shirt under neath. And once again he wasnt letting up, he shredded my pants also. I was lucky to jump onto the table. As for the dog having an injury that did come to mind. He seems to be fine. As a matter of fact he wagged his tail all day. A few minutes ago he noticed I was up here in the computer room. He woke up came over and gave me a big hug. He actually puts both paws on my neck and rests his head on my chest. This guy is unreal. He has been amazing. I really cannot explain the shock I feel. The hard part is the thought of even bringing him into the vet. What if he decides he doesnt want his neck touched? Such a scary thought for me. On the other hand he loves going to the vet, or anywhere that he can meet and greet new people.

My 9 month old Bc has been the best dog ever. He loves people, children, other dogs, Etc. He has trained up great, very good indoors, and the list goes on. I love him to death. Yes he is a pet. He does get loads of attention and play time. Now the bad news. Everday I wake up and take him for a potty break at 4 A.M. Yesterday upon entering the house I went to remove his leash. With no warning whatsoever he immediatly lunged and grabbed hold of my sweatshirt. Yanking and growling like no tommorow. He was not letting go. This woke up the family, he let go when they came running to see what the commotion was. So he calmed down I let him sleep with his leash on. After getting a few more hours of sleep, I woke up. My BC gave me his normal greeting, and we went about our day. All I could think about was how much I love this guy. I put on and removed his leash just fine a couple times during the day. So, 4 A.M. rolls around. We go for our normal walk. Upon entering the house I went to remove the leash. Bang, no warning at all he lunged at my chest. Tore a huge chunk out of my sweatshirt, and also went through my t-shirt underneath. Very very aggresivly, growling like crazy. As I turned away he was not finished. He lunged at my backside and shredded my pants. I had to jump onto the dining room table, he was not letting go. So, after the shock of all this I go back to sleep for a few hours. Wake up....and today he is my best friend. We went about our routine. I did not even dare to remove his leash. He still has it on. I cannot explain the shock I have. I cannot believe what has happened. I do not know what to do. I have been so close to this dog. He is always up for belly rubs, etc. Now I am afraid, with good reason to get so close. Any, and I mean any advice would be great. This dog is pure bred, I have had him since he was 11 weeks. No shady past. No previous trouble. He has been great......Thank-you.
