Our New Baja Dogs...
Now that we have a lot more room with lots of space to run, we decided that Dakota needed some more furry companions. Here are Kojo and Beba with
Cristina...
They really get along well with Dakota who these days seems more content to just hang out and watch these two young ones play...
Dakota has lived a long, wonderful life and we are just thankful for each day more we get to share with her here on the beach...

I like that they're all so different. They'll be fast friends if they're not already.

I love the dachs paw on the white labs back. Your dogs will really love forming a new pack together. That part is really interesting and fun to
watch. Glad you have the space and time for them. The new setting is very peaceful and beautiful. Dogs rule.
(We have an 8 week old white lab puppy who is already playing hard with his father and big brothers).

Woooosh - the Dachs is actually a 7 week old Doberman. Check out the paws. You will definitely see the difference in about 8 more weeks - ha! Labs are
awesome dogs and congrats on the new pup!
The cats do rule the house. The dogs all love the cats and are quite gentle with them. (As if they had a choice). The cats took a vote and after a lot
of debate they have decided to tolerate the dogs.
Thanks to everybody for the very nice comments...

Wow. Sorry I mistook him for a dachs... don't want to be on his bad side when he grows up for sure. Are you going to dock the ears and tail- or let
him be natural?
That is going to be a fun pack when they grow up. The only problem with multiple dogs is finding individual time with each to train them- if that is
important to you. Our oldest trained the younger ones automatically by his example- so getting the first one trained right helps.
I did have a lab you could ask to get a beer. Dutch would open the fridge, bring you the beer and then go back to close the door with is paw. Can't
even get the wife to do that trick without complaining... maybe I should try treats. LOL. (And I'd better be very careful this close to Valentines
Day for sure...)

The Doberman pup (Beba) came to us with the tail already done. Funny you bring up docking the ears because that was today's discussion. If you are
going to do it they say at 8 weeks is optimum as the ears heal fast and the surgery takes best. I told Cristina that I would leave it up to her so
we'll know in a day or two. I like Dobermans and Beba will be perfect to leave with Cristina when I am gone as they are fantastic guard dogs and
extremely loving, loyal and protective of their family and home.
I do believe in training my dogs and Dakota is very well trained. She follows commands in Spanish and English. You can talk to her in complete
sentences like, "Dakota, go lay down in the bedroom", and she will go back to her bed in back and lay down. I can put a piece of tri-tip on the floor
in front of her nose but if I tell her not to eat it she will just trade stares between me and the meat until I give her the OK. Even if I leave the
room she will not touch it.
The funniest one (to me) is when we go outside at night. I have trained her that to "go potty" means for her to go outside and do her business. On
cold nights sometimes she will walk around sniffing with no apparent interest in much else. Growing tired of waiting for her I will insist that she
"go potty" with a louder voice as I want to get back inside and in bed. After I insist for the third time she will just hunch down and "pretend" to go
pee, just to make me happy and then come trotting back in the house, thinking she has me fooled.
Cristina always cracks up at that one.
Dakota is working with Kojo already and it amazes me how much they can learn from another dog. I am sure Beba will follow right along.
Great story Woooosh - I bet that one on tape would make it on TV. Do you have it on film?
And hopefully your wife doesn't read the forum...

Kojo is a beach dog we rescued. His mom is a coyote mix that roams the beach here and for some reason she pushed him out of the litter when he was
only about four weeks old. He was larger than his brothers and sisters and maybe she just figured he could already make it on his own. We saw a couple
of other coyotes tailing him as a defenseless young pup all alone and so we took him in.
Extremely smart dog and he fits right in with the rest of our zoo. I just love his black and white face and ears that won't stay up...

Aw, come on! This was nothing more than a blatant excuse to share photos of Ron's beautiful wife Cristina. Admit it, dude!
