Edit: He was found in a field and there were livestock in the field… a gentleman driving by saw him lying out there and took him to the vet. He is good with little dogs and he has been with cats, but he does try to play and chase them… he wasn’t given the freedom to see if it would go further. This dog doesn’t have a mean bone in his body though.
Hey everyone I could use some help finding this sweet guy a forever home! His name is Gauge and he is an almost 3 year old Malinois. He is one of our boarding dogs who’s family has had some hardships recently and they are unable to keep him. Rather than sending him to a shelter we happily offered to let him stay with us while looking for his forever home. If I had the space I would 100% keep him, but that is unfortunately not the case. As you can see he only has one eye as a result of being shot when he was younger…. I believe he was chasing a neighbors livestock. This injury has in no way slowed him down, affected his temperament, confidence or happy disposition. He is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met and he LOVES loves and gives the best hugs. He is a Malinois so he is a high energy dog and as previously stated he does have a prey drive so I’m not sure how well he’d do with cats or small dogs. He is great with my 5 year old and 14 year old and would play catch with them all day if we would let him. He is great with other dogs (I just would not recommend little dogs without a slow introduction process). He is an amazing dog, he’s smart, he’s fun, he’s goofy…..I really can’t say enough good things about him. If you have any questions or interest in him please don’t hesitate to message, text or call 208-810-0679.
Here’s just a super quick video I threw together. I wish you could see it better, but if there’s a fence between you and him he pushes his body against the fence as if he’s trying to squeeze through like the blob….it’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen a dog
This is Oso and his sister in the background is Cruella. He LOVES this Jolly-ball it’s the second one he’s gone through so far, I’m gonna have to keep some on stock just for him … This crazy dog does this all the time!!!! The lines in the rock are all from him and I cannot figure out what the heck he’s doing!!😂 I love this dog 😂
* Don’t mind the quality of video, the cameras on my phone are broken.
My phone is full of pictures and videos of your guys’ dogs…I’m just terrible at posting them 🤦🏻♀️ I WANT to put them into compilation videos of everyone’s dogs, but by the end of the day I’m beat and then just don’t post because I’m not posting what I originally wanted to post…..it’s a whole thing, I know…. I’m definitely going to work on that this summer though!!!! So here is Remington helping with our walks from yesterday, he’s walking Leo a GIANT sweetheart! Like seriously a teddy bear….a teddy bear with a lot of drool hahaha

When you have two Malinois and two Dutchies (only 1 in the video) you get creative. I went and played fetch with each individual dog while also playing fetch with the other two so they got 3 times the play…… 3 birds 1 stone lol
Training with Maya and Cato yesterday. I sped the videos up to get through them faster. I was going to overlay music, but it’s kind of entertaining in “chipmunk” mode LOL Remington actually sounds like Alvin from the Chipmunks.
I might go back and reload it with music overlay though.
Some training from yesterday with Cato
This is Mya she’s another Board & Train staying with us. She is an awesome and well rounded dog, but has some intense separation anxiety. She also LOVES breaking out of her backyard to hangout in the front yard LOL We’re going to help build her confidence up and work on her containment issues.
We have been SO busy between our training and our boarding and our board and trains….unfortunately social media has taken a backseat and we just haven’t had time to edit and/or post videos.
This is Cato, I messed up and didn’t get any initial videos of this guy and I desperately regret that! He had/has some SERIOUS issues calming down, always over stimulated… he’s a VERY high strung German Shorthair Pointer to say the least which is part of why he’s here. You couldn’t do anything with him without incessant whining, he’s a very sweet dog, but his impulse control has been non existent. He’s already making SO much progress!!!! It’s hard to believe the dog in this video is the same dog that we got just under a week ago, we are so excited to see him turning into a much happier and at peace dog.
Bruin/Flash is doing great, he’s slowly learning how to be a dog and it’s so funny to watch. Six is teaching him how to play appropriately and how to “dog”. I wish you could see his crazy eyes better in this video, he’s just a goofy little dog once he gets past being scared of everything. He still has a ways to go, but he’s doing better and better everyday.
UPDATE: Bruin (Flash) is doing great! This once “runner” is able to be off leash around the property without fence and we are confident that he’s sticking around. He hangs out with me off-leash while I take care of the Ducks, Geese, Turkeys, Chickens and Quail, he just hangs out minding his business. *This was the only video I had left on my phone with him and the birds after having to delete everything. We are still working through a lot of his confidence issues, but he has already come a long way. We’ll keep working with him to continue his progress.
Well I deleted enough pictures and videos to make this video finally!! I hate technology….. okay it’s a love/ hate relationship
Tom doing some of his actual training with Trigger, the clip I posted before was just him having fun.
Just had to share the clip of Tom washing the dog pee off his leg LOL 😂 Trigger gets so excited to see him every time he comes out that he happy pees all over the place…. Including on Tom! You can also see Goku (the puppy) trying to walk Trigger with his leash
Tom got some great training in with Trigger today! He’s on point… even with the kids running around and yelling, us standing there talking and the puppy Goku running around he stays on target. This guy is doing great considering he just had 9 months off of training due to an injury! He’s well on his way to being bomb proof again. Good job Janie Owyhee Mountain German Shepherd for keeping up with him even while he was on break technically.
Our day playing with Lab siblings Buddy, Ace,Leo and Rally…..And our Board & Train Lucy.
I’ll get video updates of our newest member/rescue Bruin (Flash) and the boys Tigger and Mouse soon.
Just some yard time with the Labs; Buddy, Ace, Rally and Leo.
Worked some off leash obedience with our 2 week board train Lucy. She is a 7 month old Great Pyrenees and this is only her 6th day with us. She’s doing great!
These sweet Labs came to stay with us for a few days today and they are so funny!!
Last nights/yesterdays adventures. So glad it’s not 108 degrees anymore!!
