Wow, that sounds like one heck of a dog! My Jack's only real feature anyone sees are his giant Yoda ears! They are huge for the size of him, and normally stick straight up!!

Jack was like that when i first got him...would give muddy puddles a VERY wide berth! But now he doesn't seem to care, just goes straight though them! He still isn't a fan of rain though.

Won't go out in the rain, can't continue walking if there is a big puddle, will just stand and wait to be dragged through/carried over. He is such a wuss!

Hehe you gotta love 'em with their funny ways! A client with a mastiff cross she got from a dog pound in wales (mum was a mastiff, dad supposedly a g. dane) came in yesterday. She was a lovely dog...i said "her head and facial expressions are exactly like my dog", to which the client responded "what, gormless" haha yep she got the right! She thinks the dad must have been g. dane cross SBT, she really did have a staffie head! It was very odd to see my dogs head on a 28kg dog! She's going to be HUGE...she's only 9 months old!!!

Haha! My Jack hates anything wet or muddy - full stop! Problem being, he is too close to the ground and picks it all up anyway! He knows when he is in for it, tries to hide! Curls up in his basket in an 'I'm good - please don't bath me!' way!

The more I look at it and describe him, the more camp it all seems! Bless!

Aww bless him! My dog hates baths too but insists on going in the sea & getting all salty, falling in muddy rivers & running through mud at high speed in the forest! So he gets home and gets tied to the wall outside so i can hose him off! He always knows whats coming because i won't let him in the house till he's clean, he goes straight from the boot to the back garden & stands in the middle of the lawn sulking!
