eto napicturan ko oh
for teh moment am still usaing the stockj shocks, which i will have the casa replace. After teh warranty period am upgrading to eithr old man emu, iron man or rancho.
eto pala bigla ko nakita. under 1 month old palang strada ko nyan. In tagaytay with my cousins on the truck bed. (Yung nagtitinda kapatid ko sa labas. hehehe)
Madami-dami na akong nailagay sa truck bed ko, hindi lang ako mahilig mag-kodak. Siguro kasing tindi nung unang pics ni Pauland o baka higit pa.
But the main reason why I bought my pick-up is dogs. Mahilig akong magpunta kung saan-saan, bundok man o kagubatan, para mai-train maigi yung mga aso ko.
Pero isang beses, bumili ako ng mga stainless pipes na 10 ft. long. Hindi ko alam kung papaano ko ikakarga sa pick-up. Biglang nagkaroon ako ng "light-bulb moment". Binuksan ko yung retractable rear window, and viola, nagkasya kahit hindi tinalian. Another good reason why it's there.![]()
Sir Drave..they look like Belgian Malinois to me. If I am not mistaken..they are one of the most intelligent of working dogs.
Great pics!.
Ako kasi, I remember when I had a Rottweiler...I had difficulty transporting them in my car. Nanghihiram pa ako ng Owner or Jeepney. He he he.![]()
Thanks guys for appreciating one of my passions.
Drey, I prefer calling them personal protection dogs, which means self-defense, rather than attack dogs which connotes wanting to hurt somebody.
Sir Don't, my dogs are workingline german shepherds as opposed to showline GSDs, so the colors are not your typical black and tans. But the other dogs in the river are indeed belgian malinois. In the pic of dogs on a tree trunk, the leftmost is a dutch shepherd. They're also the most gentle of dogs, to the owner, of course.
I used to carry them in my van which was not so practical. The pick-up truck is the best for dogs.
If you have some more questions re personal protection dogs, you can pm me anytime.
Pauland (threadstarter), I'd like to apologize if I kinda deviated off-topic. I'd just like to show my reason for getting a strada. That hobby of mine is just a weekend thing for which the 4x4 is sometimes used. The rest, I drive it with my family on the pavement, so comfort is also important. Therefore, the strada is the most ideal truck for me.
They say that the strada is just looks, but I disagree.
To the BOSBs, tell us why you bought a pick-up truck and why the strada, in particular.
No prob doc! I also love dogs actually! We tried breeding several years ago but didnt work out. I also had a german shepherd before. His name was Shaq! Super love namin pero wala na sya ngayon... Latest was a golden retriever. Named him Achilles kasi medyo may tama sya sa rear right foot nya. He has also passed away just last year.
I'll PM you sir one of these days. Medyo interested ako sa
passion nyo! Makiki osyoso lang po hehehe. Wala pa budget and time ngayon to get another dog. Baka 2009, I might adopt a Belgian Malinois or a Rottweiler or another German Shepherd. Matagal pa naman pero ito mga naiisip ko na gusto kong breed.
Good luck sir drave!![]()
