I love Gary Larsen cartoons, but especially like this one. "I'm going to the vet's to get tutored!" Lol.  Edit to add - cute dog, cute name! If male dogs are not going to be bred (despite what he wants!), neutered is the way they should be, for lots of reasons. |

So glad Rocco got rescued by responsible owners. He probably needs just what he is getting. 3 spoiled hounds in this household too rocknewb101. |

THanks so much everyone! He's been a real joy. I worked for a vet for 13 years and also in rescue so neutering/spaying is extremely important to me.

Neutering definitely makes them much better family pets IMHO. |

If you put your cursor "below" that box when you start your reply, your reply won't become a part of their quote...if that makes sense. Once I'm below the outline, I usually hit "enter" once or twice before I start my response to make sure I'm outside the box... |

Those 65 pound girls will get him out in the open and use him for target practice @ashly, namely because he is a male. 110 pound male ridgebacks and every visiting pitbull ends up hiding under the truck when the girls start that high speed body slamming. I think it is a trait of sight hounds. rocknewb101, this is the ridgeback body slamming thing. Looks cruel but they do it all the time.: |

I had it at one point, but then for some reason I couldn't figure out why it was posting that way. Not only am I a rock newb, but a forum newb too haha!! Thanks for the assistance |

Rocco loves to jump up and slam into the other dogs too, although lately we are keeping him calm (hahaha who's fooling who?) since his neuter. He's itching to play though. My catahoula X boy (rip) and fox hound were very vocal. I always had people thinking they were attacking one another. Nope, just play Thanks for sharing! |

Both very vocal, but the one that is 1/4 boxer more so than the full pit. Not hound type noise, but growling. They sound like they are fixin' to tear each other up! Sometimes they do get a little scrappy and draw blood, but no emergency trips the the vet - so far. |

rocknewb101 Rocco sure looks to have Rhodesian in the mix. A common trait is their use of the front of the chest as the point of impact and/or the front legs raised up horizontal quickly staying in stride to push the other off balance. Their goal is to topple preferably at high speeds. Now you have to post photos of the others please. Catahoulas are such cool dogs. Hounds are cool dogs. All dogs are cool but hounds are just irresistible. Having worked with Catahoulas in the hunting field years ago I fell in love with them. A hunting breeder way back in the north Georgia mountains was the source of the stock. As he called them 'gritty' and they were, they were also the sweetest tractable dogs. I quit hog hunting long ago when one of the Catahoulas was injured.
