Looks as if mine wasn't as bad as it can be. She vomited a few times, one looked as though it had blood in it, but was right as rain about 15 min later. phew! But I will try to keep her away from them in future!

Hi all - I just moticed my dog eating bees on the lawn in the back yard. Does anyone elses dog do this? Can it harm them? How am I supposed to stop her doing it? Ta

I am so sorry to hear this... She was the best little lure courser and we could all see how special she was to you. Doggy heaven has an awesome lure course set up.... Sorry for your loss. Peter

Mr Rabbit is still going.... he has had a few leg problems tho

Bit odd really....

Retrieval Whippet Style

My crazy Whippet does exactly the same thing. Looks like you have some nice bikes in the background too (I'm a bit of a cyclist).

Here are a few vids (with my kinda music) of our Whippets lure coursing in Brissy. Any dog that will chase the lure can do it. Poppy & Ciara Together Poppy Ciara And an attempt to get Dasher, an older boy to chase. He's the only Whippet I've ever seen that's not interested in chasing... He just did a big U-turn

Excuse my naievety, but what is BSL? BSL = Breed Specific Legislation. Aha - so not the brotherhood of St Laurence Thanks

Excuse my naievety, but what is BSL?

Well, we had a chat to one of the invisible fence companies and have bought a system.... Fingers crossed! :cool: Seems like it could be the best solution to keep the little houdini in the yard & we'll get 30 days to test that theory.

Hey everyone - Ciara's owners here. Thanks for the ideas and advice. I see our options as: 1. Containment ie pen and/or higher fencing. I am concerned that Ciara will scale a higher fence. This morning she cleared the gate again (3rd time) while we were inside, so she is clearing it with ease without a run up and also not in response to separation issues or fear. 2. Training methods - shock collar/electric fence, rewards & discipline She is a lovely dog, very affectionate and great nature, loves our other Whippet puppy so we want to resolve the issue. We will add some height to the area of the fence where she can get straight out, but not to where she can end up in a neighbour's yard. This is not a complete solution because with the ease she is clearing the fence, ours & then a neighbour's fence is not a problem for her to get over. So we will also get an electric fence from the parent's farm today to use a second deterrent until we can find out about shock collars. We will also try to desensitise any separation anxiety and fear of loud noises (hopefully we get a storm today while we're home). :cool:
