Pauli is my diva female black lab. She was preceded by Dakota who was a female black lab as well. Two best dogs I’ve ever had in my life. I would never say this within earshot of Pauli in fear of her getting a big head, but hands down—Pauli is the far superior of the two dogs.
In smarts, heart, character, and speed…Pauli has the DNA of a rare champion. She is no ordinary lab.
So it appears my brother David now has a black Great Dane named Duke. Pauli and I were looking at Duke on David’s Facebook account and I somewhat offered a challenge for Duke to come to the ranch in Deer Creek and maybe race Pauli as a learning experience for Duke.
Now…my cousin Jan then interjected Duke would run Pauli ragged. Which of course did not go unnoticed by either me or Pauli.
Pauli has chased off 220 pound mountain lions out here near our forest lines…beating an unschooled Great Dane pup will not be be that big of a deal.
Pauli stands around 22 inches and weighs in at 71 pounds. We were talking and mutually decided she might want to shed about four pounds for this ‘Duke challenge.’
This will be good for Pauli. She’s become a little complacent out here being the alpha with all these lazy Edmond dogs. Acorns and the trees if you know what I mean?
Pauli starts training tomorrow.
