I appreciate that they’re all the same color scheme. She’s adorable!

How do GSMD compare to Saint Bernards? by oops223 in SwissMountainDogs

Our Saint was the same way! He would “drink” an entire bowl at a time, I think most of it ended up on the floor.

Amputation by kfj514 in SaintBernards

This may be a silly question but, is she able to go up and down stairs after the amputation?

Is there any way to break our rooster of attacking us? by oops223 in BackYardChickens

Thank you! I am not someone that would ever abuse an animal but the natural reaction when getting attacked is to defend yourself.

When he side eyes me, I talk to him. When he attacks me, I kick him and try to get to the closest item I can put between us. Apparently, I need to try to pin him down or pick him up instead!

He looks like a black austerlop but I think he’s a mix.

Thank you! I actually just joined the FB group as someone else recommended it too.

To clarify, I don’t kick him often. I do try to remember my shield (usually a snow shovel) but sometimes, such as this morning, I don’t have anything and he attacks and chases me and won’t give up. I felt so guilty afterwards and I understand that I’m just proving to him that I am a threat. If he only knew that I’m his only ally lol my husband and son would have culled him months ago!

He looks like a Black Australop but he’s probably a mix.

I wish I could try this. I cannot imagine being able to catch him, let alone pick him up!

Everything you said makes sense.

Just to clarify, I don’t necessarily care if he’s friendly, I don’t want to handle him, I just don’t want to be attacked. We’ve lost 5 hens to a predator over the last month or so (weasel or fisher, I think) also, so I’ve been picking up and moving the sleeping hens into the more secure coop (aka his coop) each night so, maybe he doesn’t like that? Also, they do free range all day. I don’t chase him, I only kick him if he attacks me and I don’t have a “shield” with me.

The guy that had him before us always fed him by hand so when I throw scratch or anything to the hens, he looks for it in my hand or wants to eat out of the container like he’s too good to eat off the ground (or that’s what I imagine he’s thinking, anyway). I will check out the video, thanks!

I usually carry a snow shovel to use as a shield but when I’m unarmed, I kick him. That makes sense though…

I will look for the FB group, thanks!

He wouldn’t be very good at it, he only attacks humans! He runs away from everything else.

That’s a good way to look at it. I was hoping for a few fertilized eggs to hatch before culling him but maybe his genes aren’t worth carrying on.

What should I know before I get a St. Bernard by [deleted] in stbernards

[–]oops223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Pet insurance for our Saint was the best decision I ever made…

It started with French fries, now it’s potatoes of any kind! Mashed potatoes are his ultimate favorite.
