Starghoti 466 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Jasper and Mina (I see Jasper is a lot like Sitka): For reference- Mina the BCx is about 52 lbs and Jasper is right about 40 lbs. And he is actually just a skosh taller than her at the shoulder. They play like this multiple times each day, plus chasing around the back yard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allison 2,369 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Jasper's willingness to lie down and wrestle from that position, is what makes me think they are similar. 40 pounds? He is already 5 pounds more than Sitka. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starghoti 466 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 One of these days I'm going to get video of Jasper and one of his dog park buddies Luka. They are near the same age. They play-wrestle, and take turns being on top. Which cracks me up, as Luka is over 125# and looks like a mastiff/great dane crossed with a Lion! Luka will take Jasper down, and (very carefully) 'squish' him and chew on his neck. Then after a bit Luka will let Jasper take him down - which involves Jasper chasing Luka down, jumping up and grabbing Luka's neck/collar, and Luka bounding with his front feet and doing a very graceful controlled fall to the ground (with a silly grin) and pretending that he can't get up because Jasper's 'got' him. LOL The two really get a kick out of this game, and it is a hoot for the humans to watch. Now all this- bearing in mind that Luka can get out of a Scrum of mastiffs and Newfies by Merely-Standing-Up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
