This is pretty much my exact thought process every time I see photos/videos of Backup and/or Sloan!

Glad I'm not the only one!

You see... These are a welcome relief

(Sloan has a bone to occupy her)

Because he's been pacing and panting and my headache won't quit and I just asked Denis to put down the dogs when I meant to say put away the dogs before we leave. lol

Squash is a pacer, too. He has a really hard time settling down in the house. If someone had asked me beforehand, I would have said a dog like that would drive me nutso, but honestly once I realized it doesn't mean anything is wrong and it's just... what he does, I've learned to ignore it.

Honestly Backup is very well bred, everyone loves his mom. His dad is a dog that I've been told you either love him or hate him. Backup is a bit of a weird fluke I think. He's typical in some ways and a-typical in others. He has drive out the wazoo but it's very hard to use at times because he doesn't learn easily. Sloan is just a totally different dog, I'm not even sure how they are so different. lol I wish I could take Backups drive and power and pair it with Sloans brain, ahhhh the perfect dog.

He's like. . .an OCD Border collie or something, lol.

But he is really pretty.

lol I would love all that about It's the default to major teeth application that would get old with me I think.

But Adrianne I agree you need to somehow mix Sloan's brain with the rest of Backup lol. Maybe in the Sloanpups????

[AdrianneIsabel]

Oh the pacing annoys me but mostly because the panic panting he does if nothing is in his mouth. Never thought I'd dislike panting more than barking but go figure.

He's really a fun, fun dog when you don't try to accomplish anything with him. Haha

We won't ever breed him but we are hoping Q adds the drive and power and also evens out the queen bitch and her attitude, a bit. lol plus he's a thinker which I lurve. Fingers crossed!

Oh I didn't mean actually breed Backup to her...just that I like your thought process there is all

Hope all is going well in terms of getting her squared away with testing (health and performance), etc. Having Sloanpups around will be fun. Especially for us lol

Maybe Julian is secretly a Malinois. He spins too. He just recently stopped doing it constantly...he's almost 11....but it's still what he reverts to if anything is exciting or if he really wants something. He, too, is bony most of the time. And let me tell you, people hate seeing hips and ribs on a Yorkie...
