I am the proud owner of a sunflower seed power eating English Shepherd. The Englishman likes to feed the birds year round and Abby benefits from the frequent refilling of the bird feeders. Abby enjoys the seeds so much that this "never can be off a leash ever" dog is drawn to the seed droppings on the driveway, instantly hypnotized by the shiny black nuggets meant for our feathery friends.
Abby escapes the house? No problem. Just launch a handful of sunflower seeds her way and she has to pick them up, just like throwing shoes at a leprechaun in a bad horror movie.
Are sunflower seeds good for her? Dogs can eat them, preferably with the shells removed and unsalted, and they have good health benefits.
Abby's stomach of steel isn't bothered by a few shells and its hard to pull her away from the tantalizing treat. Somehow, without trying, we have apparently acquired another "bird dog" in our Abby girl.
