That was totally cool! Thanks for sharing that, I'll have to put that up on my karelian bear dog group site (international). I did not know there were very many people in my area with them. Mine was a stray remember so I don't know how she came to be in the Vancouver area. Mine looks very much like that one in particular except she has blue eyes. I found out from the karelian bear dog group that other people have indeed seen blue eyes like mine has.
I do wonder how those folks get those dogs to come back. You notice they are leashed for a lot of that footage, but the one dog is off lead (when he is tired obviously). We can sometimes count on Bandit not taking off if we know she is exhausted. But it takes a lot to get her exhausted, you would be amazed. I've chased her with a car for over 20 miles. The little turd.
Just last night she attacked my chicken Pretty, but it was totally my fault, I didn't put Pretty away and put Bandit in the pen with her. Luckily she made a big fuss and then played DEAD and it worked. My son heard the big fuss and Bandit was not as interested in being caught with a dead chicken as she was with playing with a lively bird, so she left her alone. I went out thinking I was going to pick up her carcass, and I knew it was Pretty so I was ready to burst into tears. But when I picked up the "body", she was moving and I saw she was pretending to lie still and submissive, tucked under the fence as far as she could get.
I felt soooooooooooo bad for not noticing she was not in the flock when I put the chickens away. Her sister Unpretty felt so bad she flew out of the enclosure to be with her despite the dogs being out! But when I picked up Pretty, she kinda looked shocked but I did not find an injury and I put her back in the enclosure with her sister and they sat quietly together for awhile. I think she was telling her sister about her harrowing adventure. Then they both got up and acted normal. This morning Pretty did not come out of the coop until late and I was getting afraid to go look in there, when she came out and pecked around like normal. Pretty is my little orloff that hatched the chicks for me last year, and who lays an egg for me almost every day despite orloffs being "poor" layers, even through the winter! They are small eggs, but still.....I want to cross them with an EE and see what kind of layers I get from that. So I'm glad she survived the experience and she is the only chicken we have that has always had a name. I know, you aren't supposed to name them, but we did.
I know Bandit was just doing what is natural for her, being predatory. I have to do a better job supervising.
. Yes, you can use about any berry with that recipe.
