Belgian Malinois Gets His Toy Back From Where The Fox Left it: Blind Retrieve On Ice

January 20, 2014 By Duke Ferguson 1 Comment

My Belgian Malinois taking back what is his:

While having coffee one morning, I noticed from the window of my house what looked to be a red dot out on the ice in the middle of the river.  I looked through the binoculars and saw it was one of my dogs toys that cost over $25 and I knew exactly how it got there.

Foxes can be a pain in the butt by times.  We have a fox that likes stealing the dogs toys and leaving them all over the place. We find them in the fields and in the woods upon hiking.

It reminds me of a show my daughter used to watch as a child,” Dora The Explorer”.  In the TV show there was a Fox named Swiper. The famous chant was “Swiper No Swiping!! 3 times over. lol

After the coffee I decided to go and collect the toy since it cost enough money.

I strapped on the snow shoes and headed out.  Before getting too far out on the ice I decided to send my  malinois “NITRO” out on a blind retrieve. It was roughly 150 – 200 yards away.  Since he has a high level of obedience and skill, and the wind was in our favour, I figured it would be no problem for him so I decided to video tape it.

I hope you enjoy the video of Nitro being sent to collect his toy where Swiper left it.

    That’s incredible.. beautiful dogs.. and a beautiful area for them to run around in..I’m taking your Puppy class with my Rottweiler mix.. and he’s learned a lot so far.. hoping to save enough money to take the off the leash training as well.. I like to run, and it would be lovely to have him by my side, and not worry about distractions.. He’s slowly learning not to chase after cars.. when the cars come, I hold his collar, make him sit, and then praise him and treat him if he doesn’t jump, or start to run after them.. slowly but surely, he’s getting there.. Thanks!
