My Pack

Everyone's been asking me about my "pack", and how I've gotten them, so here they are. Please no negative comments or anything.<br><br>I have 11 dogs. We reside on a 9.5 acre property. And all dogs/cats are indoor.<br>We will start from youngest to oldest. "category-wise".<br><br><span style="color:blue"><span style="font-size:150"><span style="font-weight:bold">Dogs:</span></span></span><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Name:</span> Torque, Copper & Mudflap<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Breed:</span> Bloodhound/American Pitbull Terrier<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Age:</span> 7 wks.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Story:</span><br>these guys were left outside. Their mother was chained over 50 ft. from the house, and the temperature at night had started to drop. We saw them, and talked to the owner of the mother, and she said she didnt want the pups, so that's why they were outside. There was no food or water out by the mother either. And the next day, we got snow. The mother did have a doghouse, but it had just sat on the ground, so the bottom was just dirt. The pups might've froze if we didnt take them. All look like Bloodhounds, except for coloration. <span style="text-decoration:underline">Copper</span>, a female with green eyes, is the only one that looks exactly like a bloodhound, including coloration. She was the first to bay too. <span style="text-decoration:underline">Mudflap</span> is also a female. She is brindle in coloration, and looks just like a bloodhound as-well. She was the shyest when we brought her home, but was the first to show her personality. She loves to be around her people. <span style="text-decoration:underline">Torque</span>, was the only male. He is a reverse brindle, with the big floppy ears, but looks more American Pitbull than anything. He has quite a personality. He loves to talk back and tends to get really mouthy.<br><br>From front to back; <a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/4af87c416d366c3b4b0bf41b0.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">Copper, Mudflap and Torque:</a><br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/4af87c417c58919c231a5ed10.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">Torque</a><br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/4af87c417f469ba7b739c08f6.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">Copper</a><br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/4af87c418001dea3cdb7cae43.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">Mudflap</a><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Name:</span> Joey<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Breed:</span> Blind Australian Shepherd/Labrador Retriever<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Age:</span> 4 months.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Story:</span><br>The dam was the Lab and sire was the Aussie. <br>The dam had 10 pups in all, and when I had went to buy Joey, there was only 5 left. She was supposedly a "problem" puppy. I was told she was an escape artist, and loved causing trouble. But this little pup is anything but. <br>The night I brought her home, she slept next to my head on the floor automatically. She didnt even attempt to go on the bed. She will wander around the house, and even go outside to go potty by herself at night, then find her spot back on the floor. <br>She's already potty trained.I've also taught her to sit, lay down, and stay. She even herds bunnies! She likes to "nibble" on them, and gets in trouble for that, but is merely playing. <br>She attaches herself to me at the hip. And stays on my left side right next to my feet as we walk. She walks great off-leash, and goes everywhere with me. She even does awesomely in the car by herself. She's an awesome pup. <br>She was born with an "undeveloped eye", which is where the Merle Gene hit twice, or so the vet had told me. The top half of her right eye is green, then splits right in half, and turns into ice blue at the bottom. The pupil also "spills" into the iris. It makes her look very unique, and she's a one-of-a-kind. And she's not quite a "Red Merle", but more of a "Chocolate Merle"... If that's even possible. There was 3 Merles out of the entire litter, and Joey had a "twin brother", who was picked out just before I got Joey. But he didnt have her eye "defect". <br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/Joey1-1.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ... oey1-1.jpg</a> <br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/Joey-1.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ...

Her previous owners had kept her in a kennel for over 3 months. When we got her, she had chemical urine burns all over her body, and sores all over her feet from the amonia that was kept in the uncleaned kennel. She isnt potty trained and has no house manners what-so-ever. She had -no- personality either, and was very skittish of everyone. Joey is starting to get her out of her shell. And potty training is sorta going good.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Pics Coming Soon.</span><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Name:</span> Lucy<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Breed:</span> Basset Hound<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Age:</span> 2 yrs.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Story:</span><br>she was bred 4 times in her short life of 1.5 yrs. before we got her. She is now 2 yrs. old, and spayed. She is your typical Basset Hound. She gets into a lot of things, and has some bad habits, but is a big ol' cuddle-bug.<br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/PIC_1817.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ...

The mate was put down due to him killing our Dachshund mix. She is very skittish, but is starting to come out of her shell, and loves to be with us now.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Pics Coming Soon.</span><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Name:</span> Ranger<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Breed:</span> American Foxhound<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Age:</span> 7 yrs.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Story:</span><br>was gotten 4 yrs. ago from the local no-kill shelter. He is a 7 yr. old American Foxhound. He recently went missing for over 3 wks. He then found his way home... But to my parents' house which is over 4 miles from our house. He has no use in his entire left-side of his face, and is completely blind in his left eye now. We suspect that he was kicked on the left side by a moose, and suffered from a stroke. He now is getting back slowly. But has some bad days when he has seizures, and doesnt want to eat. But is getting better.<br><br>These pics were recently taken. He's having a bit of trouble gaining weight. But is doing well.<br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/PIC_1841.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ...

He was in a bad case of divorce back in July. His owners had him for 8 yrs. and when they had gotten a divorce, they left him at a local animal shelter for 5 wks. while they decided who would get him. After the divorce was settled, they decided they didnt want him, and had left him at the pound. I saw this handsome little guy on Petfinder, and the next day, I went and got him. I was told he was not potty trained, had bad manners, would bolt out the door everytime it opened, wandered off, etc. I brought him home, and besides a big ol' mat that covered his entire body from unproper grooming, he was perfect. Didnt go potty in the house, stayed by me the entire time, and even sleeps with me at night. He goes everywhere I go, and loves to go for car rides. If I leave him alone though, he will wait by the door or sleep in my room. Sometimes he hyperventalates. But he's slowly getting over it. His previous name was Baker... LMAO. Dingo fits him quite well, and he came to it more than he did with Baker.<br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/PIC_1839.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ...

His owner had to rehome him, or was going to be sued for 5k due to distress that he brought to a family of a Chihuahua that had ran into HIS house, and attacked him.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Pics Coming Soon.</span><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Name:</span> Jessie<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Breed:</span> Rottweiler/Labrador Retriever<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Age:</span> 18 yrs.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Story:</span><br>My dad had a friend awhile back, who had a Rottweiler female, who had 2 pups. They didnt really care for the dogs. And ended up leaving town. My dad had taken all 3, the mother, and her 2 pups. This was around September of 1991. Jessie has outlived his mother and brother, even all 10 pups, except for 2 that remain (they're about 10 yrs. old now). He still acts like a little pup, and teaches all our new pups to behave around other dogs. Looking at him, you wouldnt even suspect he was that old. But vet records prove otherwise. He does have his bad days with the cold weather and his joints, but doesnt let that slow him down! He LOVES the snow!!<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Pics Coming Soon.</span><br><br><br><span style="color:blue"><span style="font-size:150"><span style="font-weight:bold">Cats:</span></span></span><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Name:</span> Alex<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Age:</span> 3 yrs.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Story:</span><br>He was adopted from a no-kill shelter. He is the most smartest cat I've come across. Very social, and will let you do anything... So he's pretty passive. He knows how to sit, stay, beg and wave... He's VERY food motivated.
