...without a doubt an Irish Setter, especially this one.

After he climbs out of his crate in the morning it's a 15 minute ordeal to coax him downstairs. I usually start off with dog treats and then have to graduate up to some cheese. Well this morning neither of those worked so I had to use a piece of my 50/50 bacon burger to lure him downstairs to go outside.

Heck...you wave that Guinness around most folks here, and they will, sit, rollover, and even shake hands and beg!.... ;D :D
-
Good looking pooch, but I am concerned. Most puppies can't wait to go outside and do their things and follow their people wherever they go. Have you had his hips checked out or looked for any medical reason he might not want to move around?

Maybe I should post a pic of my beer fridge, there's a couple of casses of Guinness in it right now. BTW: Guinness is the name of my puppy in the picture. :)

Oh believe me he can move around just fine, when it's on HIS terms, he's a typical Setter, very stubborn. He's been examined by a vet and is in excellent health. This picture is from back in June the day we picked him up from the breeder when he was 10 weeks old, he is now going on 10 months and is house broken and has excellent bladder and bowel control. He just loves to play his little game in the morning of seeing how far I'll go to coax him downstairs. When he sees the cat at the bottom of the stairs you ought to see how fast he flys down the stairs to go after her, it's really comical.
:D

Sounds like he has you well trained. :D
-
Maybe the winter has something to do with that too. My dog's push my limits in the morning to go outside when it is cold. They are so spoiled.
-
Good looking pup, I like all critters ;D
-
Nice lookin' setter! Maybe a rib or two, or some pulled pork will do the job. :D Sounds like he's upping the ante on you LV!

Yes he does, and would you believe I'm paying a trainer to have the dog train me. :D

That could be true we will see how he does as the weather gets warmer, then again warmer in Las Vegas means blistering hot as our winters are more like summer in the North. ;)

Thanks, so do we, the rest of our zoo includes a cat that the Setter thinks is another play toy to chase around the house, plus two parrots, a Yellow Nape Amazon and a Catalina Macaw.

Yep, he watched me unpack, assemble, and break in my new WSM yesterday, I bet he knows there's going to be some good eats coming off that cooker soon and he is positioning himself into getting some. LOL!!!

Beautiful looking setter!

Leave him in the (*^% crate one morning....
:)

Nothing like a morning of Solitary Confinement to set him straight ;D

Thanks, he thinks so too, every chance he get he jumps up on the bed and looks at himself in the mirror. :-\

Oh believe me I've tried that, leave him long enough in the crate and he will bust the door of the crate open, then he sits at the top of the stairs and does his stubborn routine again. Not only are Setters the worlds most stubborn dogs they have the worse case of separation anxiety of any breed too. He definetly makes life interesting.

It sounds like he thinks he is the "owner"
Good luck!

Oh he knows he is the owner. Anyone that says they own an Irish Setter is a liar, you buy one, bring it home and it owns you. :D
Still a great breed of dog though, he is a clown. ;)

He will slowly get you trained Ralph!!! My cock-a-poo knows after supper and I settle down to watch some TV it will soon be nutter butter time. If I don't get them soon enough he will sit in front of my recliner and stare me down until I go get them; we usually share 3 or 4. Guinness is a great looking pup, I used to have a schnauzer that loved beer. He would set by me outside and I could slowly pour beer from a can and he never spilled a drop. Then one day he just quit cold turkey and would never drink anymore. Maybe he saw me after I had one too many! ::) Don

Yep, Guinness and I are going to obedience classes, that I'm paying for, just so he can train me, there's something wrong with this picture. :D
That's some great stories about your pups Don, thanks for sharing. I have a Macaw that loves beer too, if I get close enough to him with a beer in my hand he will reach out, grab it, and pull it towards him for his enjoyment. If there's a way to post videos here I'd show y'all a few of him and his drinking habits.

Here he is Guinness aka Mr. Stubborn this morning playing the waiting game to come downstairs. I was just about to get some bacon burger out if the fridge when the cat walked by downstairs. He loves to play with her and he came flying down the stairs when he saw her walk by.
