Adapted dog, begged by an adaption center to adapt this dog as they knew my background with GSD. Now living with us for six months. Was supposed to be a Belgian Shepard - NOT/NOT/NOT.
Took to a breeder... found out we now own a VEO dog...Vostochno Evropeiskaya Ovcharka... pureblood...closest English translation is East European Shepherd.
The East-European Shepherd was created between 1930-1950s by crossbreeding German Shepherds with East Siberian Laikas, Ovcharkas, and others. Laikas are among the most cold tolerant dog breeds. Molosser/Mastiff type dogs were used to add size, power, and protection drive to the breed. The Soviets also needed the VEO to be capable of adapting to hot climates in southern parts of the country.
This breed was primarily developed by the KGB for military, police, and guard work. They were the Soviet military favourites. Many are used by the Russian Flag, Ukrainian Flag Of Ukraine.svg, and Belarusian Belarus Flag militaries and police today.
Put that in your search engine interesting read. Would NOT be my first choice but we have bonded.
Three and a half year old serious chunk of muscle and energy.
A purposely bred guard dog with disposition to match - it's been a struggle to loose her energy and restructure to society to say the least. Still working on that.
However, this slat mill has been her and our lifesaver!
Well...we didn't quite expect such an energetic 85 pounds of energy. The energy level or this dog is to the moon and back. Hard to keep up with! Decided on the large slat mill as follows
Arranged sticks in the yard and measured her stride at full tilt - thusly decided the regular mill was not going to cut it! But....Couldn't be happier with this large mill...At full tilt boogie she used the majority of it and loves it! At flat out she does extend quite a bit.
So in bad weather, inclement weather or just for fun as she loves it - she gets a release of energy from this contraption.
This slat mill is built like a tank. Heavy
