Couple of good looking friends you have Treez.
Here is a pic of my hybrid, Glacier, that I take to the crags sometime.
He never bothers anyone. He will sit by my pack, with or without leash,
and just look at you. He is a very well trained crag dog,and doesn't have a mean bone in his body

I've climbed with people who have dogs and I never felt like a dick by association because their dogs were cool. Frankly, I like seeing people bring their dogs if they're well-behaved. You never get elitist, dicky attitudes out of those furry slobber monsters at least. How about if they bring out of control kids? At least when they're not looking, you could kick their dog in the face! "Ruff!...Ruff!" "What's that, girl. The mean climber did what to you?"

I am begining to remember stories of a friend who traveled with a pet monkey...
...said monkey tried to face fuck some guy... as dirty road monkeys are inclined to do...
... said guy tried to stab said friend for getting the story printed in Cock and Rice...
... or so the story goes.

In reply to: I will bring my dog to the crag if I want to, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. (except cry some more)
Actually, .... there is lots people can do about it :) :lol: :twisted:
Unless you keep it on a leash of course :oops:
and make it minds its manners. If you don't I am sure someone at the crag will certainly offer to help you with the task..

and if you spend time with them, give them a lot of love, they are very easy to train. They are also very loyal and will do anything to please you.
here are pics of some of the wolf hybrids I've had over the years.

NO FLEAS, Tradman. I've always been a responsible animal owner.
If you ever get down to Calif to climb, stop by and I'll show you my
menagerie, and then we can go climbing at JT :D

Here's a simple solution: bring your aid rack to the crag. Any dog that bites you, tries to bite you, or otherwise gets in your general airspace, gets a piton hammer between the eyes for its trouble. Variations on this stategy include bringing your drytooling gear, so that you can either bludgeon the dog with an ice axe, or if it jumps at you, lift your foot and put your crampon points in its face.

Just a thought on this (and cosimccragsman, feel free to comment):
Wolf-dog hybrids can be quite unpredictable. (Of course, pure dogs can be too). There are several wolf sanctuaries here in Colorado, one of which I had the pleasure of visiting. Some of the wolves at the sanctuary were hybrids which at one point had attacked children. As the sanctuary staff described it, the hybrids acted like dogs when young; then at a certain point, began acting like wolves (territorial, challenging social hierarchies, etc.).
Point is that people need to think very closely about the issues involved in owning a wolf-dog hybrid. Many vets/animal rescue orgs/etc. strongly recommend not owning them as pets.
As always, though, do your own research. But do research the needs of wolf-dog hybrids if you're thinking about getting one.
Dan

I had a shepard-wolf hybrid for awhile.. The most absolute sweetest dog I ever had - well, except for the current dog - they are a tie. It's been "proven" that wolves truly do NOT have any sort of societal system - although this is very heavily debated in the dog world. All dogs (common household pets, wolves, coyotes) simply "resource guard" - a resource is food, water, the place they raise their pups, or the people that care for or play with them.
They are all very smart and know what it takes to protect their resources. My kids have been very active in feeding and playing with my dogs (previous hybrid, and currently a personal protection malinois), so the dogs view them as a resource of food and play.. If a dog doesn't see a child as a resource, then that dog might be more likely to bite someone.
The most common bites from dogs come from the smaller dogs, like toy poodles and schnauzers and stuff like that - granted, they might not even break skin.. Although there are exceptions (dogs that just are wired wrong) - if you take a pup and raise it well, with kindness, and the necessary training (much like a child), then you will have a dog that can be trusted in your household with kid - and I believe thats true with any dog breed. But like the perfectly raised kid, there are times and _reasons_ that can cause them to turn..
