staffys watching TV

Is it a staffy thing to watch TV? none of my family dogs have ever taken any notice of the TV even when dogs bark on it and even when they were puppies.
Russell often just stands and stares at the picture especially when its a wildlife show, and gets even more excited if theres animal noises!

billy does it sometimes, when there is a noise that catches his ears

Dare I admit to this but Sophie's two favourite programmes are Four in a bed and Come Dine with Me

She watches all the food being prepared and when each person is greeted she is up at the TV wagging like mad

She did go through a phse of watching horse racing, but doesn't appear to be too keen on the wildlife programmes

I haven't heard of four in a bed but she's got good taste on come dine with me!

Four in a bed is on Channel 4 at 5pm daily.

Hope the link works

Again, Sophie likes the food element as well as when they all greet each other.

Jemma enjoys watchin the vet programmes lol, she sits there makin her piggy noises at the puppies!!

All of mine have enjoyed the wildlife programs. I will leave the TV on when we go out to keep them entertained.

My two love Bondi Vet and Shaun the sheep etc lol .. Especially send in the dogs lol they both sit to attention when thats on lmao

Zero watches pitbulls & parolees when its on were forever tellin him to move from the tv oh and k9 cops he likes (think he's sizing up the gsd's cos i said im getting one once we move to a bigger place lol)

Mazda dont watch anything but growls thru most of Zero's programs when she hears the dogs

I was watchng the dog whisperer today and russell was staring at the tv doing little huff-huff-huff noises which were followed by a big bark, which sent my parents dogs running for the front door assuming someone was there!

Jett loves watching Police camera action.When I get up in the morning I give him his breakfast and put the hoobs on for him....there's a riot if I don't let him watch the hoobs.

Winston is always watching the tv.. I think all the movement and colour catches his eyes.. Tonight we were watching Harry's Practise ( a vet show ) there was a bad tempered cat being groomed.. it started snarling and hissing and Winston's ears went up.. he stared at the tv.. then started growling and barking at it !!

Hey ...I didn't know that Bondi Vet was on over there.. he is abit of a spunk isn't he !!

So far, Violet seems to like Law &Order (svu in particular), any kind of action movies and Jason Derulo videos. We tried watching some foreign language films, but she must be xenophobic, because she wasn't having any of it.

Polly will watch anything with animals in it and she gets worried at anything with people crying or babies crying, she goes to the tv and whines back

Noticed this with Jimi lately. I've had dogs that did this before but Jimi sits there for long periods, infact he's on my lap now watching some Crocodiles lol.

The girls got taste

Tali is a nightmare, if anything alive comes on the screen she gets up, stands with her front feet on the wall and growls and barks at the TV. Fingers crossed I have nearly gotten her out of it. Its funny though, its like she thinks the animals are invading her territory. Skibadee never used to bother, she would watch TV but didnt get worked up about it, until Tali encouraged her. Now she jumps up too but doesn't really bark!

Cody isn't really too bothered by ours but we have a projector on the wall rather than a tv in the living room.

My dads dog on the other hand loves to watch telly, especially sports with a ball. If the football is on and the ball goes of screen he runs round the back of the tv to "find it"

Woody loves the tv, especially animal programmes.current favourite is animals do the funniest things- im sure he learns some of his bad habits froom it though!

he doesnt make any noises though, its like he really is studying it!

There is a tv show on here called Harry's Practise and it is a show all about animals and pets and the presenter is "Dr Harry" a vet. Winston was going bonkers barking at the episode tonight as there were allsorts of animals making noises on it ..hahaha.. Here he is engrossed in the show....( Jethro was flaked out on the lounge !! )

wow, LOVE the tiger!!
