. supposibly they kill copperheads so they get a pass.F that
That's y I live above the mason Dixon .
Our boxer Ella May keeps a pretty good distance. She got popped by a copperhead last year. She watches from a distance now.We see a lot of garter snakes around here, seeing them lets me know the ecosystem is healthy. The dog saw it's first one ever the other day and I knew exactly what it was from a distance the way she was acting...strange how everything treats snakes the same even when they don't know what they are.

We had 5 other ones around that day. Every time I turned around there was another one. Non were aggressive they only wanted one thing.Gentlest snake I’ve ever met. Well except garden snakes. I like them around for mice control.
I’ve been 300 yards in the woods without her and have watched her follow my trail all the way through woods to me. Boxers and their stubby noses may not be known for it, but that dog can track. Wouldn’t trade her for the worldMy daughter has an eight year old brindle colored boxer Roy that she spoils rotten, I'm trying to turn him into a farm dog took him bunny hunting last winter.
I've seen the garter snakes act way more communal piling all up on each other, only mildly aggressive snake we have here are the water snakes but they normally stay their distance if respected.
Looks like a stud. Gray like some of us but still a stud.Ella is a good looking girl! I've got a buddy that has a female that is almost all fawn colored.
This is Roy, he is getting gray in the face and has lost some zip but he still makes me laugh every time she brings him over to visit. He is a teddy bear, our 9 month old GSP wears him out pretty fast. He sure likes running out at the farm.

I bet that would scare the heck out of yahBuddy killed a big rattler today. It surprised him as he was hooking up his grain drill to go plant a food plot.
