Good looking dog and nothing I would mess with.

My pack of Chihuahuas make noise but they're no real physical threat. That dog though... You're in for a world of hurt.
As nutty as it sounds, if you had a dog protecting your grow in Canada you'd be facing a world of lawsuits and maybe even criminal conviction if you had an unleashed dog hurt some intruder trying to steal your weed. Plus the poor dog would most likely be put down. I kid you not. If some intruder comes to steal your weed, you're only allowed to call the police who will do nothing, but give you a case number for when you call your insurance to report the loss. What a country!

Chihuahuas are evil. Lol

Chihuahuas are supposedly very good watch dogs and I can verify that. Mine start yapping when the wind blows. They might not be able to do much to any threat but you'll definitely know if some bad actors are hanging around. They drive me crazy sometimes. They'll all start yapping in unison running around the house and I'm left yelling at them to shut up which only makes them yap even more. They probably think I'm yapping with them. :mrgreen:

I always tell people to wear ankle high shoes or they might get nipped in the ankle. They're real quick and will creep up on someone in a flash and give them a nip. One of them has a tendency to jump and bite people in the butt if they turn their backs. They're temperamental little turds but they're my babies and I love them. :)

But also if your property is perfectly fenced and with official warning signs?

Ufff... Be careful. If instead of being Chihuahuas, they were dogs over 25 kilos, you would have a serious problem...
To make them be quiet it is better to use always the same command (emotionally neutral, no shouting): first you teach the dog the bark command (this can be done by anyone in a few minutes) and then, while barking, you introduce your Stop command while showing the dog a small but appetizing reward, which you will only give him the first time he stops barking by agreeing to the reward: you just have to repeat it until the dog associates that your "Stop" is a request for silence that carries a reward if he stops barking with that command. You should start with each dog separately.

Heh, heh... To redirect the thread, I leave you some photos of the lateral branches of a King Congo (Congo Point Noire x South African Ciskei, pheno CPN; Tropical Seeds Company) of about 3 meters:
(This is not an 8-week commercial hybrid: it is a long flowering tropical/equatorial pure sativa).

The lateral buds were like cousin Ibaka's arms (speaking of Spanish-Congolean "beasts", heh)...
- "Isn't that right, cousin Serge?"

I’m shooting for monsters this year. My outdoor will be going outside next weekend. You can see how big they already are. At this time last season, my outdoor were a small seedlings. This year I went for clones from my pheno hunts. Most the girls bottom stem is thicker then a roll of quarters, no exaggeration. (First picture, Zoom up on from right girl) Currently getting 17 hours of daylight and will get a week of 16 hours.View attachment 4902480View attachment 4902482View attachment 4902484View attachment 4902485

I'm so excited, I got my mother plant going, in 2 months I take clones from her, the clones go outside.... Yippie Skippy! I'm a happy hippy!

i like fermented and pickled things but wasn’t familiar with Giardineria.
Had to google it looks delicious. I have a lot of pasilla peppers, onions garlic and jalapeños.

will have to buy some cauliflower. pretty much the rest can come out of the garden or a friends garden. Bbq some skirt steak and make some sammies and play some bocce ball at the park. I’ll tell me the inspiration came from RIU
seems fitting Love it when you can make homemade goodness.

here’s some plants from June 15th ish . Before the solstice, this one is a big block( motor breath #15 x banana punch #9 from symbiotic genetics ) this one will be XXXL. View attachment 4938425
these girls in front of the spaceport are in 200 gallons. Pic is of their Planting on June 10 ish. They are definitely not going to be monsters but will fill out to a decent size, I’m curious to see if the reflected light / high albedo of the metal does. View attachment 4938426
Excuse me for asking: do the beautiful symbols in the center of the fence mean something? They look very familiar to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it now...
Thanx.

This plant, I do not know if it could reach the category of "monster", measuring less than 2 meters. But seeing its main bud, and taking into account that it was germinated as late as day17 of June at 39°N, and that it is a Green OldTimer's Haze 19 (even later than the Original Haze) x A5 Haze (aka GREEN HAZE 19 A5; A.C.E seeds), I could only imagine if, like my previous King Congo, I had planted it at the beginning of May:

I'm good with dogs but these are hard to work with animals. These ones are old rescue dogs from shelters that have been abused and neglected all their lives. These dogs would have been euthanized if I didn't save them. They bite me sometimes. I've made a bunch of progress with them though. They'll never be normal after what they've been through. I'm just going to give them the best life they can have. They don't have to like me. I'm just glad that I can save a few from despair.

:peace:

Not here in Ontario, as it would be prohibited under section 2.(2) of the Private Security and Investigative Services Act, 2005. I would imagine that most provinces have similar laws. Animals deemed dangerous are put down and not allowed to be kept by residents because regular residents cannot be licensed under the act unless you have a security firm or proven security requirement and have licensed/trained animals.

Well done, @xtsho !
Just because they can bite you doesn't mean they don't like you or love you.
It's certainly a lot more difficult with the background you tell me about.
I wish you all the best

Pd: what is your last post' plant? She looks interesting....
