The little shit ate the wall yesterday morning.. Took off a chunk of the outer sheetrock, but didn't break all the way through.. My fault, I didn't giv him a bone to work on when I left for work. He's also eaten a vacuum plug, a tv plug, a dvd player plug, one flip flop, one wooden couch leg..
Sweet dog! I've been trying to convince and find my wife a running partner dog for the last little bit. We do the majority of our running on single track trails in the mountains and she gets nervous to go alone sometimes due to larger animals. Our 3 lb yorkies don't cut it after about 6 miles. I've always loved RR's. What's Shadow weigh now and about how tall?
Cascadia, RR's are perfect for running/hiking in the mountains. I haven't had Shadow up in the mountains yet, but a buddy in CO says his RR will run all day at 10k feet and want more. They also have a protective nature, and are quick to pickup on any animals in the area. They are fierce in the hunt, and would be some peace of mind if your wife ever had a run-in with a mountain lion. That'd be my worry anyway. RR's were bred to bay African lions, obviously in packs but I'm sure they'd protect their human in the face of a mountain lion, or die trying. The pad of their paws is unreal. It's atleast an inch thick, as they are built to run for long distances over harsh, changing terrain. I say you get an RR!
