What a great photo.
I made a fatal mistake today.
I was having a day working from home. Got up, fed the birds, dogs and latest edition Koi carp. I finally bit the bullet and did it properly.
Found out the reason we kept killing them was poor filtration. We bought a massive pond,all the pumps filters and some cracking fish. Also 4 turtles.
Hasn't been all roses. The Bangkeaw dog jumped straight up and ate a turtle within first hour of having them. Porno cracked the cunt in with a bamboo stick. Next the koi's kept jumping out. Found two nearly dead. Luckily they recovered but we had to go and buy some netting to stop that happening and to protect the fish from those bastard storks.
Ponds all up and running now. Looks fantastic. Fish are beautiful. All cost 30 baht each down Chatuchak. Bargain I think.
Anyway, back to today.
We were dossing about round the house, had a bunk up and felt in a good mood. Porno suggested we go to Chatuchak to buy some more fish as the pond is big and can cope with more.
On route we started having a chat about the Bangkeaw. Now that dog is a fucking total nightmare. She kills anything that moves and is totally fearless. They don't look much but trust me you have never seen anything like it when they kick off. The thing is though we love her to bits.
Last week against my better judgment I let Porno talk me into letting her breed the dog with a nasty large male that lives opposite. The other dog is a pedigree from Phitsanolok. That's where the good un's come from. He's a really big bastard but cracking looking. Our dogs on heat so we tried to get it on with them. What happened?
As soon as we showed them to each other the fukkas went into attack mode. No way was that happening.
So, on route to Chatuchak we start speaking about Bangkeaw etc.
We get to the market and suss out what koi's we want. They have some lovely fish there even if they are for sale in placcy bags.
Just before we bought the fish Porno asks me why don't I buy another Akita? The woman we bought Ninja from is waving us in her shop so we enter.
Big news. Her American Akita is expecting. It's a real beauty. Tiger striped big fukka. Black, brown and white. She offered me the pick of the litter. I said yes and will be getting Ninja 2 in the next few weeks. Can't wait. My favorite dogs of all time. I'll get the largest male. Don't ask how much.
We come out all happy. I decide that's my birthday present. We are much better equipped to deal with having a puppy in LOS. Learnt to many painful lessons in the past.
Chatuchak has the number 1 Bangkeaw breeder in LOS. They have a shop there. It's where we bought ours. The dogs are the originals from the monks. Here is the history of the breed for anyone interested.

This is the dealer.

Now don't get me wrong. Miko our Bangkeaw, although horrific is a beauty. She's a high class pedigree with full papers. In LOS that is worth something as these are very popular breed.
Just for the crack we decide to look in the shop. We had a shock. The guy had 6 of the best looking dogs you could ever see. Really big puppies with lovely colors. I knew they were something special instantly. We went in and Porno picked up the best looking male Bangkeaw I have ever seen. These dogs need to have a small stubby what the Thai's call tiger face. The one in Porno's hand was perfect.
Mum and Dad champions (that we have heard of actually). The best 6 Bangkeaw puppies money can buy.
I waited to hear how much and wasn't surprised that they were double the going rate of even a really good one.
Porno got talking to the bloke and did a deal that suited both of us.
We are in the dog breeding game.
Bunged a deposit down and will pick up our new howling friend Friday.
We still have the Thai guy here doing ongoing kennel building and aviary work. Suppose he'll just be here a bit longer.
The males are fucking difficult to handle. They are big and really do howl all night. They really get attached to you and won't let anyone or anything near you. Should be fun.
We went to buy the fish and saw a commotion. The police had raided the market. Some Thai bloke had all his birds confiscated.
As we walked past the bird dealers our man we buy the hawks from gave me the nod. We went into his shop.
He told me he's got another Eagle for sale. Was this the time? Was it my dream Changable Hawk Eagle?
No, unfortunatly it was another Serpent Eagle. This was the standard black one.

We are lucky to have found the golden coloured variety. Very rare.

It was a nice bird but I don't want another one the same.
Shame but I can wait.
So, more dogs on the way. To be honest I'm glad to be enjoying LOS again. The P4P scene can ruin me at times. The drinking, the spending, the hangovers etc. Sometimes I need my pets.
