Dog TV
Sunday afternoon we all watched the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge on TV with our weekend guest Boomer.

Golden Retriever puppy Boomer paid the TV no mind until the lighter colored dogs started catching Frisbee's and then he tried to help the Frisbee dogs complete their task.
Very funny!
Of course we didn't allow or encourage him to jump on the TV, but he did it so gently and sweetly that we took advantage of a great photo opportunity.
Boomer did a bit of catching of his own the day before when he caught our yellow parakeet in mid air and held it momentarily while my children all freaked out. 'Tweety' flew away unharmed after he dropped the bird on command. Good boy Boomer!
I think that counts as an instinct test for bird work and a soft mouth!
My childhood Golden Ginger used to watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with me and she would get down and stalk the Cheetahs, and Lions.
Does your dog watch TV?

Despite my best encouraging efforts, none of my dogs appear to be interested in TV (featuring dogs, wildlife or otherwise) with the noteworthy exception of anything having to do with bears (of all things). My dog Sable sits in rapt attention and fixates intently on the screen until their gone. The rest of the group tends to react more to audio (wolves howling, sirens and doorbells) though...
