Re: Will your rottie greet you if he/she is eating?

Well, they're pups! If they're being fed 3x a day, then I think they must be "quite" young yet. Food is, unfortunately, a number 1 enticement for a young dog, expecially. Hubby is expecting more than most dogs can give as adults.

Mine? Oh they'll greet me alright... by way of a simple acknowlegement! They'll look up from the bowl, as they chew, and wag their nubs. But leave their bowl? With food still in it? Until it is eaten, their food would be up for grabs if left unattended.

If I called one? Maybe, if I was standing between the bowls. I might even get one to leave momentarily for a pat on the head. I wouldn't do it to them. It's unfair.

I actually know they'd come, if I were very close. I still believe it was just luck! Both went after a tantalizing bit of spoiled food I dropped when cleaning the fridge. Both came. (it was only a few steps, further away...no guarantee!) One hadn't picked up anything. The other gave it to me. Both got leftover unspoiled steak!
