We have the occasional litter of working Koolies ... they do very well on natural weaning / supercoat puppy kibble and HEAPS of large meaty bones .. plus a mix of raw food. Every pup/dog is different, as is every budget and lifestyle usually dogs only get excess fat from their humans feeding too much food ..no matter what the food . ;)

Sorry you lost your girl . Rescue dogs can be any combination of breeds - but it's temperament which counts

wow, @Canisbellum ! Lovely crisp and detailed photos.. and great things seen & recorded No way would I drive those tracks :P

It was wonderful to see these ratbags last saturday Not any decent pics of Enzi ... he was moving at the speed of light !! Always love your beautiful images, Griz.... ...thank you .

daffodils.............. :D :D how lovely , @Scottsmum

ha! go away for 9 days ... and look what happens!! Went to do watering at the homestead this morning ... almost had to put the Sunnies on!! LOL

..this album will be added to over the next few days ....such an amazing experience always ... never the same !! Monarto Zoo is such an important "ARK" of species ....

Taken on the Monarto photography Workshop I am a little bit proud of this image... shot from my seat on the bus..thru the windscreen, and into the sun .By shooting in 'RAW' ..I was able to retrieve detail and actually have something to post !! ( I am a fairly recent convert to shooting RAW)

Oh my- such a wonderful gift! LOVE these framed photos ,gifted to me as I am the only one in their friend group who 'gets' birds So lovely

If this is to be your primary means of containment, then I would not suggest you try it. Dogs can, and do run thru the zap when full of adrenaline.

Constructed this yesterday from a photo I took. Seemed appropriate.

Rudolph and I had a wander yesterday

So glad you're home safe.

Tram museum photography workshop

A few phone photos... Resized and fuzzy

Hope you have slept, and that you travel safe.

We , today, got an Electrolux on special - wow!! Suction is amazing - it'll pick up the DOG , after it cleans up all that hair It's nice to use as well. https://www.electrolux.com.au/vacuum-cleaners/canister-vacuums/zpf2310t

Probably not . the other cross has a thick spitz coat ... so the long silky coat may not happen .

jeune is very , ermmm, very lumpy ? LOL

.. and that is a very BIG ask , both for carers and pup . She will learn new habits/modes of communicating... she will mature in the care of others .At 9 mths - she has a lot of maturing to do ... for a couple/few months care , she may stay 'your girl' - for 12 mths - she will not be the same girl you left behind. As wisely stated, you need boxer-savvy people !! these people will then give her their hearts to stomp on with goofy boxer paddles , to dribble on - and they will face a wrench when they need to give her back You also need people who will educate her well - how will you know this ? Gosh, it's so very hard I couldn't do it ... Heartwrenching as it is , rehoming to selected ,lovely people will need to be considered , so then it won't matter if she learns to do xxxxx, or forgets yyyyyy, if she becomes a bench surfer, or loves stinky dead possums .... I hope it works as you wish - and I hope time with your F_I_L is longer and happier than first thought ...

Lovely to see photos of your gang The lioness queen is so cute!! The news of Bella's owner is very sad indeed ... but bella will be in excellent hands again now ... Your dogs are just so fortunate ...

After so long, there will be a big space left behind . I am so sorry ... What a wonderful long life .Aptly named , well loved, and handsome ....RIP Loki. :hug:

It could well be a demodex mite -caused thing . Obviously a vet is the best plan for correct diagnosis /treatment . This page might be of help to you

it would be interesting to put one on one of the dogs here when they're goating ..but a backpack or harness isn't the safest in their job
