Snow dog

Ha ha murdock,"the apple does'nt fall to far from the tree"...(he he he) Are you making moonshine again?

Probally just happy to get out....or he might have got into your viagra stash..

No I don,t think any thing is wrong. I had a dog that loved to plan in the snow. She would do the same and more. She would dive into the snow so far you couldn't see her. I wouldn't worry.

have you checked the pedigree?  might be part seal or otter.

My black lab cross just loves to roll in the snow and tries to push himself on his side or back on the snow.

I would say she is just playing. My dog loves to play in the snow.

I have a brittany that does the same thing, she loves snow til her paws pack up with ice. Then she is ready to get in. I'm not sure what the nose dive thing is, maybe just a facial snow wash, beats me.

If you keep the dog indoors, it may be trying to cool off. Probably feels good with all that winter fur.

My lab does something like that as well. freaks me out when he is cruising along on hard snow and all of a sudden breaks through and nose plants. Looks like his front legs are going to rip off. This winter sucks!! last year it seemed like I was out walking with him most of the time but this winter not so much. resorted to cracking a beer and following in the truck.. Is it legal to drink and drive? Another thing is I have not been going through as much dog food with all the corn out there he is staying full. Ha! Dumb thing eats the cob and all.

Eyecather You might want to keep an eye the the dog and how big a chunk of a cob it is eating we had a dog eat corn cobs one time and it didnt fully digest them one got stuck iin it's intestine and we had too have it operated on. Just a heads up the bill was not a pleasant one.

She's a black lab-english pointer mix mutt-she also likes to try and catch the snowflakes when they hit the windshield and tries to bite the waves hitting the front of the boat.She is a dingo dog!!!

So are you AND the dog running or just the dog? Maybe you looked tired and she was trying to give you a reason to take a break ;-)

Ha, mine are a lab/GSP mix. I couldn't imagine haveing 2 dogs of the same top quality hunters. They are gonna be 10 next fall :( so I've been pretty torn on what to get next.

Murdock, Your dog is definately retarded.

Eyecatcher, spodaj is right. Saw a program on that very thing. Corn cobs are one of the leading causes of intestinal blockage in dogs and if untreated by surgical means only, will cause death.

So whats the status? Is there a problem or can you refer to yourself as Bi-tor?

My lab does the same thing. Every once in awhile will just burry her head into the snow. I thought it had something to do with their noses getting cold.

Thanks for the heads up guys kinda figured as much, try to keep a handle on it from now on. I do work with a shock collar any other pointers on how to keep a dog from eating what ever he wants (besides giving a zap)
