Well I thought putting stupid would be a bit harsh!

Was taking the dogs for a walk the other day across my friends farm and we came across some electric fencing (the type you use for horses with just one strand about 1m off ground).

Now my little terrier happily trotted on underneath, but my mum's dalmation who could have quite happily done the same with no trouble at all (hes only 5 months so still fairly small) decided to jump up and bite said tape! Needless to say much yelping followed. Dumb ass dog lol

Anyone else had a simular experience???
 
Oops!

I had a little lab cross that jumped all four feet off the ground and BAM into our front door, which was basically just a big piece of glass with a wooden frame

B managed to wedge his way into a communications hub compound (mobile phone mast, etc) through a huge metal fence, but then couldn't get back out again, because of the direction of the fence-posts, when he was a youngster.
A friend who was out walking with us had to climb the fence, throw his coat over the spikes and THROW him back over again

Eaten an entire toilet roll at age 8 weeks... Apparently the ultrasound was quite interesting.

A friend's dog tried to jump over a bar that she could have run under, and was rather upset that she couldn't get over it (standing on back legs). She could have walked under standing full height - no need duck. The video was worthy of you've been framed!
 
The list seems endless....

Jumped off a ten foot cliff

- goodness knows how he didn't hurt himself! I could have died!

Leapt headfirst into water and then got stuck because the bank was too high for him to climb out - cue me sticking my arm through a bank of nettles to haul him out
mad.gif


Eating things. Anything. And then being sick
mad.gif


Falling off the sofa countless times

Trying to say hello to a dog that was going psychotic on its lead - I kid you not, it was foaming and snarling like it was rabid and Henry tried to stick his nose in its face!

On a similar note, annoying my boss's dog until it bit his nose then shrieking until people in the room downstairs thought a dog had been hit by a car and ran out to investigate
blush.gif


But then he is a spangle

Chase a fox. British Bulldogs are not made for speed and even when foxy was a dot on the horizon he kept going. Didn't seem to understand that unless I got the car out he was never gonna catch it.
 
Oh yes that reminds me - tried to chase a hare, on one of the hottest days this year. I had to hose him off when we got home!

I swear that hare was laughing at him

In fairness she was having a phantom pregnancy and was trying to 'mother' her 'puppy' - a balled-up pair of navy Pretty Polly hose which our vet then KEPT after the operation to remove them from around her innards and handed them to us in a plastic bag

one of my jrts was so close to a horse eating its tea that she managed to get the edge of her ear trodden on. cue much hysterical shrieking and quite a bit of bleeding. i thought she'd have learnt her lesson but she kept her distance for all of 1 day.
new patterdale x puppy, the first time i allowed her near a horse, made a very spirited attempt to climb up its back leg. (it was a v good tempered horse!)
a friend's labrador pup jumped over a wall and fell about 40 foot, he was in plaster from his toes to his elbows of both front legs for about a year but healed completely. that's about the daftest i've known.
 
Mine is constantly stupid, just in general... has a bit of a 'doh' look on his face pretty much all the time!

Walks into walls and doors quite often when over excited - he did it once with a glass door. And also will stand behind partially open doors whining as he can't push through...

Shuts himself in the bathroom regularly - hasn't worked out yet that the door shuts behind him, and always seems surprised when it does!

Wraps himself round trees on his flexi... we always make him work it out for himself to unwind himself, it often takes ages... he also wraps himself around people when out walking, if there are two or more folks with him he is guarunteed to tie them up!

Electric fences - likes to rub along them... que yelping!
 
Both mine are stupid, very stupid.

JRT - running up to a horse, ignoring recall, got trampled - 2 days at the vets as it was slighltly crumpled. - Not in the slightest bit scared of them and would do it again if she could..

Barking madly and howling at, a daddy longlegs.

Finding a nest of baby mice and cleaning them - to death all over my mums kitchen floor - drowned then she did!

Falling asleep sat upright (quite amusing).

Patterdale -

Constantly walking into the patio doors as a puppy (glass doors)

Eating a tennis ball

Falling asleep on things and falling off them.

Oh and picking fights with the biggest most scary dogs then laying on the floor - such a willy head !!!

My Border Terrier ate a bee..... a live one. It stung his mouth and his entire face puffed up (he looked more like a hairy pug than a terrier!) He still tries to eat them 10 years on...

The RR is generally quite a stupid dog (very loved... but stupid) she ALWAYS falls over on the laminate flooring.. in the same place... every single day.
 
We have a sliding glass door from the conservatory to the garden.
Skye loves to occasionally run from the lounge straight through to the garden.

Yes-----youv'e guessed it------the silly dog ran straight into the closed glass door.
no harm done--she was fine but I was rolling around laughing. (once i knew she was OK)

She is one of those rare breeds--a slow learning collie!
 
Just thought of another dumb thing my dog does - we've been teaching him to 'leave', and if you put something on his paw, and make him wait for over 10 seconds, he forgets it's there and can't work out what you want him to 'take'.

Also, we've failed utterly to teach him to catch. Any treat he just watches as it sails past his head...
 
Dougal managed to get himself stuck/lost down a rabbit hole for 48 hours. Sadly the ferry wasn't going to wait for him so we had to return to England minus one dog

laugh.gif


He was rescued
wink.gif


Tinker just does things like taking on Badgers
crazy.gif
 
I feel mean laughing about this, as she can't help it but not long after Tina went blind in her eye as she hadn't quite sorted out her depth perception etc she was out shooting on day and ran full tilt into a tree.
blush.gif
I was more concerned the tree was going to come falling down round us she did it with such force!

Beasties whole life is a series of mishaps
grin.gif
She reckons our footstool is her own personal bed and often rolls right off the side of it. She has also ran into glass doors at full charge on more than one occasion
blush.gif
I'm surprised she didn't break it, she is quite a tank!

Her most recent one was walking backwards in front of OH as he had food and she went to turn round and banged her head off the door.

Poor Beastie

Otto's life is just a string of unintelligent events interspersed with sleeping and eating
grin.gif


He runs into things on a regular basis, falls off things and gets zapped by fencing almost daily
grin.gif


However his best was only a few weeks after we got him, on one of his first walks, he ran across a pile of leaves, except the leaves happened to have collected on the surface of the lake and he went head first under. Got out and proceeded to do it a further 3 times!!
shocked.gif
It was then I realised I had a mentally impaired dog

Matty, rr, always used the cat flap as a window but as she grew up could get less of her head through it. Kept trying though until the day she pulled her head back in and ended up wearing said cat flap until Mummy could stop laughing and extricate her from it!!
 
I have lurchers so the list is endless! Alf's fave is catching wasps and bees which obviously then sting him so he spits them out, then picks them up and spits them out etc etc until they give up trying to fly away, then he barks at them lying on the ground in their little pool of dog spit

In the winter, when it was really cold and the water at the edge of the river had frozen at high tide (we are near the coast and it is a tidal river!) ice 'sheves' had formed. Bruce decided to go and investigate despite me calling him back, jumped onto an ice shelf and promptly disappeared into the river some 3 ft below - unfortunately, he couldn't get back out again so I had to wade in to the river to rescue him - it was bloody cold!!
 
I have a greyhound and a rather stupid one at that.
He had his whiskers blown off twice!
We have a gas oven and the flame was blown out, so my dad tried to get th gas to "leave" but hadn't waited long enough so as th dog shoved his had in the oven to see what was there, my dad lit the oven, resulting fireball lft the dog with no whiskers and my dad with no eyebrows.
And then did exactly the same 2 months later!
At the time I was worriee, rang the vets and several friends hysterical that the dog was now a hotdog but looking back....its really funny!
 
Scrappy Doo springs to mind... 'lemme att'em, I can take the both of yas with one paw behind my back etc etc etc....'
