Baja Dogs

Seems to me that everyone has a dog or two (or more) in Baja. A great many are rescued dogs, which is so wonderful. Ours is not. He is such a handful that I really don't think we need more than one...Arturo...plus, he has a little brain damage. This gives him a very curious gait, as he has little control over his backend, but his front end doesn't know about it. Here he is after one of those rainstorms this last winter in Mulege....So this one is my "Dirty Dog" photo.

Would just love to see some Baja dog photos. How about it?

Fun subject! I've posted photos of my Baja dog Ham before, but for fun here are a few more... Ham will be 10 this year. She was a street pup in Bahia de los Angeles before I 'adopted' her. She must have been only 8 - 10 weeks old then, starving and eating lizard bones and dead fish on the beach with her mom and sisters.

Here's Ham in 1998 at the turtle tanks (Campo Archelon) in Bahia de los Angeles:

cute when they are young


Then they grow up to be mischievous


But love the freedom of Baja

That dog is no dummy, it was hot out!

Werfless? Hardly!

He prefers a warm climate...go figger!

Gee... sure wish I could post a picture
Beachgirl... I have you dogs double here!! Only a few more days to find her a home here or it looks like she will be another Mexican import... I believe she will be number 7!!
Until now she seems very well behaved. To LaPaz to see Dr Tomas today for a clean bill of health

They like any beach in Baja



They like to collect things on the beach





They love running in Baja





And relaxing at the end of the day.





Marie-Rose, have you tried posting pictures using another place like photobucket? I find it much easier.

Okay, You got Me to Stop Lurking w/ This Thread

Dang. What did I do wrong? I reduced the size. Followed the directions, I am confused (My wife just said, "So what is new?").

I will try one more time, and perhaps try again tomorrow

What we do for our dogs.

Welcome. I find it much easier to post pictures using a site like photobucket---if you continue to have trouble, you might try it. Just reduce the size of your picture---I use the Windows resizer, upload to photobucket or another such site, copy the img box and paste into your post here.

Can't wait to see your pup.

Diane

On edit, while I typed you got it. Great picture. I still like, however, using the other sites as the pictures are bigger.

Love your pup

WOW my dog that I have now looks almost identical to your dog, but with more white. Her name is Sox and we got her from the pound here in AZ. We got her as a pup and she is half Border Collie but not sure who daddy was??

These are 2 of our rescues... the one with ears belongs to our daughter!!
(actually his ears don't look so big in this picture!!)

Zorra adopted me in '02, and Lulu did it in '06. They are certified Loreto purebred street dogs.

Here they are obediently looking right into the camera.

Their trainer deserves a bonus.

It's like when you tell someone your kids can say their ABC's when they are 2, you ask your kid to say their ABC's and they look at you like your crazy!!! Love the fact, that they are looking in opposite directions!!!

Our beautiful rescued Shelby-dog! She was only 8 weeks old when we got her. She will be 15 years old on June 1st.

Mr. Gypsy get telling her she was fine, she was a mexican dog after all, but she came home with us to -35 in a blizzard, and she was only about 6 weeks old, she had totally forgotten about mexico weather!

I am considering doing this as a general practice also. I do have problems with it though and this thread is an example. Photo posters using an off site host upload their photos TOO big. You cannot see the whole picture on your computer screen and have to shift it around to see the whole thing. This also makes the post so wide you can't read the whole thing without shifting the screen over and back.

Folks should down size their images so they fit on the screen and then I love it.

Thanks for the tips. I am going to force my teenager to show me how photobucket works this weekend and try it that way too. Until then, here is (with any luck) Banjo (also known to her boyfriends as Banjalina Jolie) with her little sister, Millie, also a rescue pup. I love all the baja dogs (native and otherwise).

I have noticed several distinct subspecies of Baja natives. There must be a breeder of purebred Loreto street dogs as I have seen them elsewhere on the peninsula. The other subspecies I come across often are similar to mine, and known for their enormous ears. I call them the Bat-eared Baja Barking Dog.

I've learned a valuable training tool for them. The only way I can get them to face the camera for a picture is to say, "Want to go to Baja?" Amazingly, it even works in Baja. However, this one was taken at Grandma Judy's in New Mexico.

Has anyone seen this dog in Todos Santos?

bad habits

unfortunatly baja dogs can pick up bad habits as "TIG" has. he hasnt started drinking yet , but if you cant smoke in bars any longer maybe he wont pick up that habit .

Schooch

Mason was given to me because the previous owner wanted him to have a big back yard. She never told me about his reaction to cameras.

My dog Mason is not as impressive as Russ's

Batdogs of Baja

Do you wonder why Baja dogs have those big bat ears? The reason is that those ears will help radiate off the heat.
Canine radiators if you will.

what??
there's more???

And from one of the more rural areas of Baja...

Other than some Baja dogs being smokers and some having bad teeth, anyone notice that lots of Baja dogs have really big ears? Why is that?

Like the elephant...the ears are used as a cooling device.

So, for all those street dogs there's sort of a process of natural selection going on? The ones with big ears survive the heat and reproduce and the cute ones lure in the soft hearted gringos and get good homes?

Heh
My pussy pics got deleted, but the ugly mugs of those Baja dogs are still there
Moderator must be a dog person, cause, how does he know they weren't a Baja kitty and parakeet. A severe case of prejudice.
