[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2524187, member: 25851"] Dogs! Who would have them - not me for sure. They are wonderful looking and I really like them but wouldn't have one. The Leonburger is fine - he's grown up a bit and though he won't happily walk on a lead, he is reasonably well behaved and he's not great at jumping fences - given a chance he will climb over though. The St Bernard, on the other hand, is too clever by far. And she can jump. And she can open doors (she holds the handle down with her front foot and either walks forwards or backwards to get the door open). And she wants to get away from her brood. She can clear the fences around her garden so my son has built a pen with chain link fences about 7ft high and she managed to get over that. Luckily, she didn't then go out of the garden, she opened the front door and went back into the house, leaving the pups in the pen with their dad. Last night's job was to put a Rylock roof over the pen to stop her jumping over. She's more deer than dog! St Bernards are not supposed to be so active. Only another couple of weeks before the last of the pups go to their new homes. Thank goodness. Maybe she'll stop trying to escape then. Actually, I dread to think what the last pup will be like when he grows up. He is staying and he is already big. If he's as smart as his mother and as strong as his father and grows as big as he promises - he's going to need some handling. I've warned my son that he really must start training the pup very soon and make sure he is well trained before he grows big. Dogs! Who would have them? [/QUOTE]
