Wow...I salute you; I am impressed. Keep the pics and the antics coming; I love them :)


oh they are very entertaining and they get along very well and i think steve would be devastated if any of them were to disappear, all the dogs moped for a week when i took the fawn male to my friends to live and they were only 8 weeks at that time lol, so i could just imagine what would happen now that they are 7 months if they were split up lol

a vid from yesterday , they were barking at a lady and her boxer, she walks by everyday cause she says her boxer likes to see them lol, she trys to talk to me but i cant hear a word she says lol over the barking. They act up more if im not outside, they seemed to bark and then look at me and then bark again and look at me cause i shoosh them, i guess they know that i wont let them act like idiots, you should see them go off when someone pulls into the driveway, they get brain locked and do not listen at all i have to physically remove them

Love it and I am insanely jealous! I want the land to have that many dogs! Lol, preferably in that area as well. So here is my question, how close will I be able to get to the fence in August lol.

Carrie, in your experience, have you noticed that there is alway one watching the front and one watching the back?

For example, if Cane alerts at the front door, Ziva will check the back door. She will join him at the front but will turn and check the back frequently. When I take a shower, Cane will lay where he can see the front door and the bathroom and Ziva will lay where she can see the back. It's amazing how they work together. Cane was 2 and Ziva was 3 when we got Ziva, from day 1 they have worked together in that way. She lets Cane take the lead but definitely has his back.

Well we only have a couple acres and about 1 an 1/2 acres is vertical lol i only have a front yard and part of that is the driveway hahahaha we just recently fenced more area up the mountain towards the hot tub, our hot tub is on the hillside above the house, great view and private but the odd bear, deer or coyote has been known to go by as we are in there hahahahahahaha. The reason my yard looks big is because its 3 different levels, i was standing on the bottom level, looking up towards the dogs on the main level driveway area and then behind them the upper area that goes up the mountain, only good if your a goat or a dog lol and at the front of the property we fenced about 20-25 feet back from the property line, just to keep the dogs back from the road.

When you show up all hell is gonna break loose hahahahaha it always does when someone shows up, thats what filas do and having 5 its utter kaos, you will see hahahahaha. My dogs seem to be a bit more mellow when its a woman visitor then a man, i guess females are less threatening to them, i dont know lol. And no you do not want this many lol, 2 or 3 is one thing but 5 is a whole other ball game, we never leave the house together lol one of us is always home , so no day trips anywhere or vaca's either, if we do have to go somewhere together, we get a baby sitter hahahaha. The friend i gave the fawn male to comes over, all the dogs have known him since they came home as pups.

Can I lease some of your land??? I'll have my own trailer and everything!

LOL your always welcome, but unless your part goat i dont think you would like my land hahahaha, you could do what a few people do out here, squat on crown land, they have built houses, and lived there for many many years, these people also raised i think 7 kids that way. In this day and age you can live anywhere , thanks to solar panels and generators.

When i had my old filas on my farm, if something was up , one would stay by me and the other 2 would take off to check things out and then return to check on me then off again to check somewhere else. Yes they work as a team, we have a camera on the driveway and when someone shows up they run to the fence and freak out then they turn and look at the house to see if we are coming then continue freaking out lol
