Doodles that think they are great hunters

[J and Riley (and Luna)]

I saw the thread a few days ago about a snake hunting lab and doodle pair... and it got me thinking - I wonder how many of our doodles fancy themselves as great hunters?

 

List the things your doodle likes to hunt!

 

Luna has stalked/hunted things since we got her.  A short list of things Luna stalks and/or tries to catch (or does catch):

 

- Us (she stalks me while we're playing)

- Her toys (usually when she's tired, she will stalk instead of running after the toys)

- Anything that flies (bees, birds, houseflies, bits of fluff in the air, leaves)

- Ants (she stalks/eats these on the patio)

 

Here is a video of her when she was a little 9 week old hunter:

So cute!

Myla is all Chipmunks and Squirells! And her red ball-won't take her eyes off it.

 

Chloe is anything and everything-she stalks leaves and paper

she stands up on her back legs "hunting" for her favorite peeps on her walks, she also knows where all the kids and cats live.

She also stalks turtle statues in one of our neighbors yards.

 

[Taylor & Huff]

Oh yes Huff is quite the hunte especially when it comes to crickets or grass hoppers.

Sometimes even lady bugs: (he wanted to eat it in this video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrOdHPnrB4g

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Yes, Tara is an avid hunter too. She goes after worms, spiders, and rodents but her favorites are birds!!  Here is a picture of her catching an owl in our backyard last year!!! :)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Wow...Tara is quite the hunter and that owl is sitting so still, you almost can't believe it is real...LOL!!!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Yeah, that poor owl was just paralyzed with fear when it saw the ferocious doodle bearing down on it!!  That is why it appears to look a LITTLE unreal! :)

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

Seda eats any kind of bug, moth or fly that moves..... except crickets.  She doesn't eat crickets!  Go figure. Cicadas but not crickets.  Webber won't eat any kind of bug.  Kibble, carrots, chicken parts, beef, but no bugs.  Doodles are so entertaining.

[Jodi and Stella]

Luna The Great White Hunter! Such a cute video. Stella has recently discovered squirrels and will take off like a shot after them.

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Gosh, we have quite a list here: Murphy hunts cats,small children, baby strollers, bikes, motorcycles, squirells, snakes, small dogs, leaves blowing on the ground, lizards, turtles, balls, basically anything that moves on the ground.

Bella. on the other hand. hunts anything that fly's or hops through the air like crickets, birds, hot air ballons, airplanes, flies, mosquitos and all other creatures with wings.

Thankfully neither one of them are very good at following their instincts because I have yet to see them eat or come home with any of their prey. ( I won't tell Bella it's probably a waste of time to chase hot air balloons and airplanes if you won't, she seems so focused and confident in her pursuit, why spoil it for her?)

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Ha! I would love to see a video of Bella chasing a hot air balloon!!  I think I saw a segment on Cesar once about a dog who was terrified of hot air balloons so I guess it could be worse!!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Our daughters doodle is afraid of them and they land in the park right behind their house. He goes crazy running to the fence, then back to the house, then to the fence, jumping, whining, barking all at the same time. You feel sorry for him he's so frantic. I even walked him over to it once one was deflated to smell and see the big hot air monster up close, but it hasn;t helped.

Bella, ha, she'd just jump into the gondola I'm sure!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

And I forgot to mention that I love your video of Luna!!  It's just adorable!!

[Camilla and Darwin]

The only thing Darwin can hunt is inanimate objects. Anything alive is simply too clever or too quick.
