Hi Nenad

 

If I'm right, that would be an Ole English Sheepdog and, what a wonderful breed it is. Nenad, you're going to have a wonderful and faithful companion when he/she arrives. Hopefully, when that time comes, you'll be able to post some puppy pics!

 

Congrats and well done.

 

Cheers

Hi Nenad

 

Yes it is an Old English Sheepdog.

My wife and I had three of them, they are fantastic dogs.

Lots of exercise and grooming ahead of you my friend.

[mtaylor]

A new shop buddy!!!!!    Good for you.   Like Patrick and Denis said, they are great dogs.  

[NenadM]

Decision was hard ... We like and want big dog, and haired dog, frendly to everyone. Siberian Husky was option, Serbian Sharplaninac, Samoied, but ... my office is settled in my house last two years and will be there until my retirement, and just imagine clients waiting in front of yard untill I run throught yard and arround house trying to catch and tie wild beast with weight of 50kg ... I don't need sharp quard dog

 

On the other side, I hate to keep dog in cage or permanently tied. What's the point having dog in that way? My yard of 700m2 will be his realm. Flowers will survive, I hope. If not ... what to do, Bobtail is ... Bobtail

Hi Nenad

 

I am so pleased you are not going to put your new friend in a cage, they love people around them.

We never had the three Old English Sheepdogs out side the house they were always inside apart from walking them and showing them at shows.

 

I think by looking at your photo that your dog will have a tail.

That is a shame as in this PC world we live in they are not allowed to doc the tail off.

That is how they got the nickname Bobtail.

Why they cut the tail off was because a dog uses the tail as a rudder (just like a ship) .

 

They used OES dogs to herd sheep and cattle from Wales and Cornwall to London, a dog with a tail split the sheep and cattle up so you had sheep and cattle going every were, so they cut the tail off the OES dogs so they could not turn so quickly this kept the sheep and cattle in one herd and not scattered all over the land.

 

I hope I have explained how they got the name Bobtail.

 

If you look after him or she they will reward you an 100 times more.

I am not intend to grown dog for exhibitions and shows ... as a Princess Persian cat which has genealogy papers better than all members of MSW together ... Adrian the Cat is, as a Bobtail will be, our friend and, on some way, a member of family. Admiral is gone, Hothead (25) is in another city plans to find his fortune somewhere in Europe or in the world right away when finish study and master of architecture, Princess (27) finished her study of medicine and has steady job, and this days she said that she is thinking about her independence, which is quite all right and I support her in that direction (she works, has empty flat), and I do not want to be alone until life eventually comes with some solution 

 

your making some great progress Nenad.........glad to see your world is returning to some sort of normalcy   cute new friend too........  

 

Thank you Denis for nice word. Eh ... if I had this passion and patience at the beginning ... life must go on, and a "Show must go on" . we live today, we can not live in the past, and we will live tomorrow. So, use a time you have today and tomorrow to fulfill your life with nice things

I suppose, Michael, on the same way we did, 40-50 years ago, when we had hair during Hippy movement          

Can you imagine me trying to be wild, playing electric guitar imitating Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmoor etc etc with hair under shoulder and hair bangs until my nose ? That phase lasts only 2 years (16-18) until I come to my mind. And believe me, you can see everything you want to see

At present ... no, not really ...however, if your bobtail starts bumping into furniture and other things you could give him a red and white banded stick ...

When it comes to music, I`m still in that mood. That

is classic stuff, I`ve been playing guitar in a rockband for some years. Still love it!

Hello Nenad,

 

 

What a fight against the Green beast!

 

We also had three of this monsters in our garden. Of course in the northern Part of Germany it groths up very slowly. But after some years it started to Lift up the garden way. And I must say that it was a hard fight to kill her and to get out the roots.

[popeye the sailor]

now your talking....that's my music taste.....but I tended to follow Sabbath more     I play bass........wish I has started that earlier in life too

Also me Gerhard. But just to mention my taste - Deep Purple was not the same after Ian Gillan left. I still sometimes let the music of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led zeppelin do the boards (?) ... volume to max ... until kids scream to shut it 

 

A great life philosophy, Nenad.   Let the spice flow and savor the moment.

Helo and wellcome Angarfather. Two days after my back hurts, every muscle in pain, and job is not done jet. Office works and rain  #$%$

I have seen some photos of you playing on your old FB pages, Denis. I envy you for that. My last time ... seven years ago, when Hothead have got his drum set for 18th birthday, I was playing with drums also, and we decide to make session in attic of my house: My nephew come with electric guitar and a bass guitar with strong amplifier, he played bass, my twin brother solo, and I played drums ... Paranoid, Smoke on the water ... I think everybody in circle of 500m around house hear that  ... later I heard rummors as " ... that crazy attorney  ... he is fifty, what he is doing ? ...  ". I did not care, still do not care what people talk ... who know me well do not have any complains, who do not - this is his problem, not mine.

 

Life goes on it`s way, and when I try my guitar couple of months ago (after many many years) it just do not listen to me. Forgot to play, forgot to sing ... i remember with sadness that long ago my repertoire was :

Hi Nenad

 

I dont think so! Remember, at your small measure the wheel should not be thicker, as I believe. Looks good, I would use it

We`ll see about wheel, Gerhard ... it seems it has to be a bit over-scaled ... we`ll see it ...

 

This year Catholic and Orthodox Easter are separated almost a month. The exact date of the celebration was the reason for many discussion since the time when Christianity outgrow from Judaism (first time at 154 year b.c), then at 325. ( first Nicene Council) etc etc until establishment a difference between Solar year and lunar Year  and Gregorian and Iulian Calendar. In Wikipedia it is elaborated very well. I have read a lot of books about religion development, and formed my own opinion, considering I am atheist

 

And now we are here we are, in my opinion, artificially separated to Catholic and Orthodox long time ago by religious or "religious" leaders wishful of power. But, this is ancient history, and some events in history followed with a particular course of conduct repeated through centuries becomes national custom and a part of national identity, national and religious holiday, anyhow nice time for family and friends to get together and to spend a good time.

 

This year Orthodox Easter is dated to may 1th, and considering there are five connected days of both holidays, my twin brother and his wife, my cousin and his wife, my niece and her husband and me, plan to travel couple o days and to visit famous locality  Đavolja Varoš  ( Devil`s town) 350 km from Belgrade to South, if zou can remember, a candidate for "seven wonders of world" couple of years ago. It will be a really great time, and I need it, desperately 

 

If I did not explain well name of thos locality, here are some pics from last time I was there nine years go traveling to Bulgaria, and I am sure you will recognize this place. I am sorry for bad pictures, they were made with bad camera many years ago

 

 

 

 

 

I wish to all of my Catholic MSW friends to spend a good time during Easter !!!!
