Dempsey's cute sleeping position <3

Made me melt

Doesn't he look sweet, bless him

Kuchar doesn't generally tuck his nose under like Dempsey, but what makes my heart melt is when he's dreaming and makes little yippy-yippy noises!

I love the little guy! I think it's easier for him to tuck his nose in because of his head shape.

Aww, Kuchar!

That is sooooooo cute!

I always have to bother mine, when they look cute sleeping, for a snuggle and kiss.

Same here! I went over to give him a snuggle after I took the picture

We're evil

Yep! Demps didn't seem to mind too much, though!

They say dogs hate cuddles, but Demps loves them! He'll keep nudging your side until you lift your arm up for him to snuggle underneath. I think it was because he was hand reared and was often wrapped up in somebody's arms.

Xan is not a big cuddler. You can give him a quick hug and he likes sitting next to you with his head on your lap but doesn't like being confined, for lack of a better word. Missy, Sheba, Spike they're not to big on it but will tolerate it. Pugsley loves it on his terms and Axel and Lequita adore being hugged and cuddled. Lequita is the best cuddler out of my lot. I think it soothes her because nothing is expected of her.
She's a funny dog.

I love hearing about different dogs' personalities.

I like analyzing siblings different personalities and then the traits that they share.

Do you have any sibling dogs at the moment?

No. I would never be that stupid.
I've been watching the kittens though and have had siblings owned by various people go through school.
I had a dog, Dozer, and my mum his sister, Twiggy. Completely different dogs. You would never think they were littermates. Twiggy is quite laid back and very friendly; she babysits the lambs on the farm.
Dozer made my life a living nightmare. He hated everything and everyone strange. I had him PTS after he bit my friends baby. He had also killed 4 cats by then, one of which was my mums new kitten. I had to choose.
I've had some hard lessons with these dogs.

To be fair, although siblings are a pain, they can be managed if you're careful! Sometimes. Sort of.

That must have been such a difficult decision for you to make. I don't envy you for it! But I think you made the right decision. No matter how much you train a dog, sometimes it just isn't enough to override a behavioural trait, especially when it becomes dangerous.

Sorry for being so depressing. I still feel like **** about it and what makes me feel worse is how much more relaxed and at ease my house was without him. Immediately. Suddenly everyone started playing with each other and would run around the yard. I had been so focused on helping and fixing him I had forgotten about the good dogs.

We currently have 2 sibling Boerboel pups, 4 months old, at school. I don't envy the owners. They were told by the breeder to take 2 as it's better for the dogs.
These 2 have bonded with each other to the exclusion of their owners. They won't do anything or listen to anyone. If they're moved apart they pull and scream to be with each other.
The owners are numpties as well. They don't listen and they don't do their homework.
The only 2 positive things are that they're going to neuter young and that it's a male and female.
These are going to be massive, powerful, headstrong dogs, that basically don't have an owner.
I don't think they're going to stick out the hard road ahead. They wanted to give up halfway through the first lesson.

Don't be daft! You're not being depressing - if you need to vent, vent away!

Those two dogs sound like they are, and will be, handfuls. With very responsible, firm, consistent owners, it will probably be hard enough! But what's the point of going to training classes, if they're not 100% invested in them? The dogs deserve better.

He looks sooo cute, I would have had to give him snuggles too

That would be a horrible decision to make Theresa It is really interesting to look at the different personalities, I would love to know what Bella's siblings are like.
