Is Merlot a bit of a picky eater, Jim? She seemed to avoid the crust for the most part.

Current hound is a 15lb Boston Terrier, but she can vertical leap onto the dining room table.

Previous hound was a 125lb Rottweiler. I'd come home and find my living room rearranged, but he was very gentle.

125 lb German Shepherd!! Big enough to get anything she wants......but is usually nice about it! LOL!

Yeah, a pie safe is not really a safe.

About 50 lbs. of romping, stomping Beagle (divided by two). The younger one counter surfs by standing on her rear feet and bouncing up to counter height.

Only loss to date was a package of Sandwich Thins that were left too close to the edge.

Lesson learned.

He’s the size of a CZ Scorpion Evo

I've got one that is tall enough to nab anything near the edge of the counter. I normally remember to keep stuff pushed back, but every now and then I'll forget.
Last week he managed to get about half of a London Broil that my wife had cooked for dinner. Thankfully we had already eaten and it was just leftovers, but still it was going to be lunch the next day.
At least she was the one that left it close to the edge and not me. I'd have never heard the end of it if it had been me.

Chavela the Ridgeback is 85lbs. She lives outside. In fact, she won't come in the house without being dragged. (I suspect her original owners mistreated her)

She's swiped hamburgers off of the picnic table though.

Two Jack Russell Terrorists.
Ranger is 18 pounds.
Lucie is 16 pounds.
Nothing on the counter is safe.
Their vertical abilities are impressive.

Growing...

The black female I think has about peaked at 80-ish pounds, the white male that is 8 months younger has caught up and will no doubt pass her. We're thinking 100+ pounds.

No bad habits, at least in the area of counter surfing. They're still discussing who is the Alpha Dog (after Mom...) and have drawn minor blood a couple of times.

Thank God for that.

Our pooper is a little guy who just wears us down by whining and moaning until we give in to him.
Then, when we do, he runs around the house and burns it off.

Dexter (our Labradoodle) is about 135 pounds. When he stands on his hind legs, he can put his paws on my wife's shoulders and look her in the eyes.

He's usually really good about not eating things off the counter. However, there was one time that I had set a pizza out on the counter while the oven warmed up, and came back to find the front half completely devoid of toppings, while Dexter had tomato sauce all over his face.

Lucky is 83 pounds, and is lethal to negligently placed pumpkin pie.

He hasn't done the counter thing, but my old Vizsla, Eric the Red would help himself to grilled sausages from the countertops.

Our BC got some fresh baked cookies, once, never before, never again. Talk about a guilty look.

I have a lab/rottweiler mix named Diesel who weighs in at 115lbs. He can rest his head on the kitchen table but has never even attempted to counter surf.

Our female GSD is first gen in the U.S. Just had her at the vet because she cut a pad on her foot. She was a perfect 71#. She has never had any human food. Must sit and make eye contact before she eats, and has never stolen food off the counter or table. One good dog and one good horse. She’s the dog.

175# Great Dane.

He can clear the counter and drink from the sink faucet.

But he's well behaved and doesn't do it often - only if you leave chicken or cheese out and leave him unattended in the kitchen - but as he's a 'velcro' Dane, he's normally right next to me, velcroed to my leg.

4.5 lbs of sweet Toy Fox Terrier, she is daddy's little girl.

HK Ag

Less than 30 lbs for the pair. Little dogs - little turds

Let’s see..My late blue dobbie tried to sneak past me with a raw chicken breast I had sitting on a platter waiting to go out to the grill. I doubt he had to even stretch that much. None of the current breed have a chance unless they get help.
