This is Oscar's new brother... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Oscar's Mom · 04-16-2006, 05:38 AM

This is Auggie. He is an 11 month old American Bulldog. He already weighs 96 pounds and won't fully mature until he is 2 or 3 years old. Oscar does not want a thing to do with him either! Auggie lives outside in a large kennel during the day and a large yard at night. Sharing his space (in fenced confines) are 11 chickens, 1 guinea, 2 goats and a pregnant Welsh Pony! We have a regular farm here! Here is a pic of Auggie. His eyes will throw you but he is really a sweet dog!

He's gorgeous!! Is he the pregnant Welsh pony? Just kidding!!

Congrats, sweetie!

THIS is the pregnant Welsh Pony...we named her Fancy. We are afraid she was abused in the past. She is 8 years old and VERY head shy...we have a lot of work to do with her!

Thanks...but getting along will totally be on Oscar's terms. Auggie is not a house dog so if Oscar does not want to interact with him, I won't force him to. We had Auggie's dad here a year ago and Oscar just played and played with him...it was really insane. But now Oscar is more matured and he is just not ready to get to know him yet...and that is fine with me!

It was sad the way we got Auggie. He was living with a family in Arizona as a house dog. They bought a new house and for some reason did not find out that the new subdivision had restrictions on pet size until after closing. They could not have a dog over 40 pounds...so Auggie had to go. He went back to the breeder in Georgia and he let us have him...we love him. Dewaine wanted another big dog and he is great protection out there for the other animals...maybe he will keep those old bad varmits away!

Wow...Debbie he is one good looking boy! I can understand what
happened with his first owners. Some of the CC&R's of these new
housing sub divisions is beyond belief and you don't realize the
control they have until sometimes it's too late. We almost bought
a house that would have limited us to 1 dog and 1 cat but luckily
I ran across that little clause before we commited. I am sure his
previous owners were heart broken to have to get rid of him but
in this case their loss was definitely your gain! Congrats and have
fun with him. I predict that Oscar will come around with time...

His previous owners were totally crushed. The lady of the house was heartbroken and called back several times trying to find a way to get him back but it was just impossible with the restrictions placed by the subdivision. He was their baby...she will never get over it...I can only imagine her pain at losing him. But at least he is in a good home now and we love him!

I love him! He is soooo cute! I have a six year old English Bulldog, from the looks of it, an americian bulldog is an english bulldog with legs LOL. Congrats! He looks like a sweet heart!

I am sure they are related somewhere back in the line...kinda have to be don't they! We used to have an English Bulldog and he was such a hoot! Auggie is a total sweetheart. One of the chickens got in his kennel through a crack in the gate

but could not figure out how to get back out. I heard the worst ruckus with him barking and a chicken squawking...I went out there and the chicken was trying to get thru the chain link and Auggie barking his head off! I just knew I would have a dead chicken but he never touched it...Good dog!

My BIL has one of those dogs and her name is Lola! She scares me half to death bc she is HUGE! One wrong move and she could take my head off, not that I think that she would do it but Im just not a big dog person! Your guy is a cutie though!

We used to own 8 American Bulldogs at one time and everyone of them were big ole babies! We showed them and everything. But our travels with our job forced us to re-home them all and now that we are staying closer to home, we got Auggie...and yes, he is a big ole baby too! But they can be a little frightening due to their sheer size and look.

I had a collie shepherd mix once that just loved chickens!

I came home one day to a yard full of white feathers and a very tired and satiated dog. Dang... You are right, you DO have a GOOD DOG!!

Marie · 04-16-2006, 06:48 PM

Congratulations. Auggie is a cutie. Fancy is very cute also. TY for sharing the pics.
