Thanks for your reply sunny - yes I'm a bit upset -"Some" people only seems to read what they want to read, as I said earlier I do not want to rehome her, but they all keep jumping down my throat because of the 'otherwise' comment. Which is why I fully edited my opening post.

Thanks Bellaperson...I guess that not many here understand what it can be like to have 4 kids and 2 dogs!! :p

Should specify that my pup don't just jump on us, she actually jump for quite a while, so much that soometimes we think that we have a kangoroo and not a dog in the yard :p

Quote: You were given plenty of helpful advice and then threw a hissy fit and deleted your original post. It doesn't always happen that people will tell you what you want to hear if it is not in the best interests of the puppy. Hissy fit?? LOL I didn't know that when family duties calls me that people sees that as a hissy fit, good one :p ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I thought that the knee thing would have been 'classified' as dog abuse, so I haven't employed the method yet, might be worth a try.

Nice to be judge when we come for ADVISE. Thanks to everyone that came to give advises and not judgement.

She is 3 months old, and I really don't want to rehome her, just starting to be desperate as what to do. My older one is not like that. I have no crate to confine her. How do you correct them? When she jump I keep saying NO! and SIT!, but she seems a bit like she is ignoring my commands, and she knows them. I'll try a few things, I know patience is a good thing, I just hope to be able to get her back on track, and fast, I don't want my kids to be knocked over, or else. Thanks for all your inputs, I really appreciate it.

Ok, lets get a few things straight here, I have tried few things already mentionned below, such as ignoring her when she jumps, going back inside when she won't settle down, getting her to sit and pat her, saying NO with a firm voice the give her the command DOWN! All this things so far hasn't work. hanks again for all your advises:)

So good to know I don't have this problems!!! LOL

Thanks very much for that. I never owned this type of 'breed' before, I had German Sheperd before, but the last one I had had obviously been abuse by his previous owner, to the point that I was unable to do anything for him so this time I got a Sibe, and this little 'mutt' like hubby calls her . I've bought the new Pedigree Natural, the price of BARF where I live is quite expensive, and I didn't find the Nutro or Eagle Pack, I also buyu plenty of raw stuff for them aswell, which they love greatly.

Thanks for your replies I was actually wondering when to get her desexed, but didn't have the chance to asked....you answered without me asking Ok, I thought that her frame was more boxer like, would the joint probs etc be a risk aswell? Ta PS. Nekhbet, she is a boxer x Bmastiff, would you have any idea of what her weight should be at 3 months?

Just wanted to know if anyone ever read his books and if it was worth your money? Ta ;)

an a couple of my pup :rolleyes: ;) Will be taking some more when she isn't busy chewing!

[a tachment=46829:attachment]Ok here it is ;) just took some new photos of my sibe and of my boxer x Bmastiff :rolleyes: NB. I can already see changes in my pups weight!! YAY!

Wow, he is a cute chunky pups!! I have changed her diet, lets hope she fattens up a bit ;) Her mother is a boxer and a dad a Bmastiff, my pup seem to be getting the Bmastiff personality but the shape of a boxer...

Took me about 4 weeks to get used to my dog playing and sometime fighting together...when I see that the oldest one is too harsh, then I put her in her 'naughty' corner... But the more they are together, the best it will be for them. I make sure that both get their special time, and I usually do that when one of them is asleep, just to avoid the other being jealous. I think that its working well so far. Cheers

Thanks for all your inputs everyone, its great to have some personal experience from all of you:)- I'm still looking to buy a secondhand freezer to stock all my pets food in it. PS. Flames_Daddy - - -> I really love your dobs!!!

After reading lots and lots of things on whats best to feed my dogs, I have come to a conclusion that a raw diet only would be best, but first, I'd like to know if any of you do feed their dogs that way, and what are the weekly cost for large breed dogs(one is still a pup, but not for long!!). Thanks for all your inputs!

Mine are outside 24/7 and have no probs with it and have proper shelter against wind, rain etc. Another big difference is that I'm a stay at home mum, so I'm ouotside very often and play with the pup. What I reckon matters the most isn't if the pup is kept outside or inside, but how much INTERACTION it gets. Mine are outside dogs and happy. Its a question of choice. I guess that having an older pup and a younger pup, they don't get bored when I'm not out there with them, so that could be a little thing to maybe think about? I must admit that if my landlord were to allow pet inside, then I wouldn't mind having the youngest one inside from times to times..(I actually take her inside but keep her in my arms, so that we can't be blame for anything...shhhh its a secret )

She will be 3 months soon. I never had any probs with her, in fact I never had that prob with any of the dogs I owned in the past. I think you are right too about what cavNrott said. Don't forget the treat when they sit

Mmm

Hi, I bought myself a little puppy not so long ago too, and have the same type of Neighbours as you do, and my pup show no care at all, she just sit there or keep doing whatever she was up too when they all start barking, si I don't think that it will be a problem, specially if she is occupied most of the time.

Ok I have read that page: http://www.rawlearning.com/rawfaq.html From what I gather, why does most of you feed your dogs with rice(grain, which is apparantly a big NO, NO) and veggies, which is apparently not needed in their diet? Ta! ** Don't forget I'm learning about raw food, so I don't know everything!**

persephone - I just had the chance to read some of the link you suggested earlier today, and they are of great advice! Thank you very much:) I'll post some more photo of my pup in a couple of week time, so you can see the difference:)
