The New York Times recently did a story on dogs who chase off wildlife at golf courses. I have heard of Border Collies who chase off geese at parks and golf courses before but I didn’t know that there were small dogs who do the same thing.
He added, “She does a great job of chasing off the geese, even though they are bigger than she is.”
Pinki was once held by the boxer Oscar De La Hoya when Di Giorgio still lived in the Caribbean. At Fieldstone, a private club where chemical and pharmaceutical executives play, Pinki has met Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
But Pinki is ready to work when she and Di Giorgio arrive at the course each day about 6 a.m. She runs as many as three miles beside her owner’s cart.
Pinki runs after flocks of geese but carefully avoids the water. She also chases deer and foxes.
Pinki definitely earns her dinner! I love seeing small dogs who prove that they are just as capable as big dogs (in most respects. Mr. N is not going to pull me around in a cart anytime soon).
Mr. N would like to know where he can sign up. He is willing to work for the satisfaction of a job well done. He would like potential employers to know that he has:
- Been accused of trying to herd Border Collies.
- Previous experience chasing geese and ducks away at parks and gardens.
- Outruns his canine best friend who weighs 70-something pounds.
- High energy + endurance.

Hi there, thanks for joining the blog hop! I think my dogs would like that job too!
Have a great weekend!

I think most dogs would. I don't think there's enough golf courses to go around though.

Mr. N. – look at you, getting a job, contributing your expertise to those in need. Our dog Sally used to have a job chasing bunnies off the golf course at grandma's house. She did a pretty good job at it too! It's a great cardio workout.

It is great cardio. Although he still doesn't seem worn out after it.

Hi Y'all!
Wow, maybe if I got a job like that my Human would reconsider letting me chase the wildlife! 'Course we live in a wildlife protected area at the shore so maybe she wouldn't…sigh…
Y'all come by now,

Poor Hawk! I suggest lure coursing as a substitute. It's Mr. N's favorite thing ever.
September 6, 2013 2:30 pm
What an awesome dog. I always knew that small dogs rule.
September 7, 2013 11:36 am
Small dogs do rule.

If you find a recruiting office, Wilhelm would like to sign up too! (And he wants to know if you ever play bitey face with your 70lb friend- he says jumping up for a mouthful of scruff is great exercise too!)
September 7, 2013 11:36 am
Oh they do play bitey face together. I'll have to post a video sometime.

LOL. Love your resume 🙂 Jeffie would like to apply for that job, too. Have a great weekend!
September 7, 2013 11:59 am
Thanks. He would have submitted a video resume but he's usually too fast to get any shots of him chasing anything.
September 6, 2013 4:25 pm
I can tell you'd be awesome at the job for sure. You have a lot of energy, speed, determination and are willing to work for peanuts…I mean, dog treats!
September 7, 2013 11:35 am
Mr. N had a previous gig as a dog model and he worked for cheese. Cheapest model ever!

Good luck finding a job! We all know you are up for it. 🙂

Thanks. A friend wants Mr. N to come deal with her mice which I'm sure he would love to but I need to do some research first.
September 6, 2013 6:44 pm
LOL! Sounds like the perfect job for you. 🙂 Thanks for joining the blog hops.
September 7, 2013 11:58 am
It is his dream job. Running around on miles of grass and chasing geese.
September 7, 2013 8:05 pm
Haha cute! Little dog power 😀
September 8, 2013 3:00 am
Indeed. He almost caught a squirrel today!
August 10, 2018 7:22 pm
I’d say he has a great resume for the job, plus he’s cute, that should be bonus points.
August 12, 2018 7:19 pm
That sounds like a dream job! I’m sure that Mr. N would be great at it too.

Win, win!!! Dogs like to work and the geese are evicted, humanely. I guess the geese still have to find a new place to live but at least they have a chance to do so.
