Disadvantage of owning a Chessie?

[Marc]

Well it finally happened, I finally found a disadvantage of owning a chessie. They don't fit very well in a field blind that was designed for the American miniature Labradors:mrgreen:.

I had to cut the material to the top of the tent as the dog couldn't get his shoulders through it. It used to only be open up to the top of the Mesh. It's pretty funny watching trying to turn around in it as well but he gets it done.

Look at the height difference between the chessie and the lab. Penny my 11 year old female was there as well as I was trying to coax Marshall in with treats and she didn't want to miss the opportunity of a free meal.:mrgreen:

Hoping to get him accustomed to it before the goose season opens up again in Dec. We'll be laying out in the back yard and tossing dummies in the evenings until he gets the hang of it.

Buy another one and sew them together. He might fit then. I had a huge Chocolate Lab so I know what its like to have a big dog.

Marc, I feel your pain, I could take Marshall off your hands for you so you dont have this problem anymore, lol.

He chewed more then just the base board I'm afraid. He chewed the door frame as well. I'll wait until I'm sure he's done chewing and replace the door frame and moulding at the same time. :mrgreen:

By the time he quits chewin, your going to love him till death do you part :)
