The flowering of self expression
A few pictures from the weekend . . . On the left is the gorgeous Coco, who needs no introduction. To the right is a droolingly glamorous young ladie named Lilly -- an English bulldog/American pit bull cross (breeders are trying to resurrect the original bulldog, which is beset with deformities and is difficult to breed.)
While it's picturesque when they do it, it's usually not easy to get dogs to tilt their heads on command, because they only do it when their curiosity is piqued. Which means you have to be quick with a camera when it happens. Humans, however, are another matter. I captured Dennis hiding behind flowers drinking a glass of something, and while he didn't tilt his head irresistibly like the bulldogs, he did manage to raise an eyebrow by way of self expression.
(Ugh! I think I need to take head tilting lessons from the canine masters.) posted by Eric on 05.14.06 at 08:14 PM

A turn could be looking to the side. When they tilt this way, their heads rotate. Eric Scheie · May 14, 2006 10:10 PM Aw, I think you're both good looking guys, but Coco rules all photo ops! Bonnie · May 20, 2006 04:05 PM Question my 6 month old pit is showing some signs of aggression. she is still lighty play biting,as well as jumping at my face. and for the pass three days she has been barking at me.Should i be concerned. P>S> i have a baby due in augany info would be greatly appreciated. noan · May 25, 2006 10:31 PM No nonsense and no screwing around. Don't take chances. I'd suggest nipping the problem in the bud by getting the dog into basic obedience training, and buying and reading Bill Koehler's "The Koehler Method of Guard Dog Training" (available used at Amazon). Excellent book on tough love for tough dogs. Good luck! Eric Scheie · May 25, 2006 11:27 PM THANX! but should i be worried or jus put her in obedience class. are those signs of human aggression or jus a bad pup. i was considering puttin her down but i really dont want to . but a bad pit is a bad pit. NOLAN · May 25, 2006 11:34 PM If she's just playing I wouldn't worry. Six months is young enough that if you work with the dog, almost any behavioral problem can be corrected. Dogs are opportunists. READ THE KOEHLER BOOK, and you'll understand. Eric Scheie · May 25, 2006 11:56 PM |
