Freddie loves water , hoses, taps ... I left a hose running for him yesterday ..and then had to laugh as he made his moat!! he dug just ahead of the water ,letting it flow on ..and on ... When it stopped flowing a couple of times, he went to where it was blocked, cleared it ..then ran back to the front of the flow to continue . Molly just watched .

Guess it's to fit their time schedule or somesuch ...dogs are to be in place for 2 yrs , no longer ..?

That's the plan , so yes, hope it plays out that way .

LOL if she can chew roo tendons- she can definitely chew chicken frames!! :)

pups chew- they NEED to chew/mouthe things .That is how they learn about textures/tastes/their strength ,(cos they don't have sensitive fingertips like humans) etc plus chewing releases endorphins :) So -- invest in cheap beds - opshop blankets etc until after teething in several months ;) Buy her real bones ,and deer antlers to chew , and not just 'crunch/swallow' Frozen chicken frames are terrific! Turkey necks also .

What I think is worse (than the bolded bit above) is that Dingoes are getting a worse and worse wrap because of this monster-hybrid wild dog and their gene pool is also diminishing. It's getting harder and harder to find a pure dingo (genetically speaking) and, I believe, they'll soon be extinct - replaced with this super mutt. I wish more was being done for the Dingo - from this point of view and from a PR point of view At this rate not many will mourn their loss and that is a tragedy. yes. It is very sad. In a previous life I was involved, in melbourne , with the "Dingo Foundation' - working with purebred Alpine dingoes who were gorgeous creatures, and DEFINITELY not domestic dogs . I am so pleased I have the memory of seeing them .

Recently , The Boss attended a local Wild Dog Control workshop , run by Ben Allen , who is featured in one of the following articles. It's all interesting stuff .. bt very sad that domestic dogs have so interbred with Dingoes that most wild dogs are just ugly mixed creatures PELORUS ISLAND plan excerpt: The four wild dogs, which will be released on Pelorus Island, will not have a chance to become pests themselves, as they have been implanted with a time-activated poison, Hinchinbrook Shire Council said. 700 sheep lost to wild dogs at Merriwa. excerpt: Wild dog control is becoming a major issue for many farmers across Australia. Chris Kemp shares his thoughts after losing 700 sheep on his farm at Merriwa over the past few months. Chris and his family have been running sheep for the past 100 years and have never seen it close to this bad before. The farm is situated eight kilometres from the Goulburn River National Park and he believes this is the major source of the problem.

I wouldn't think so. pups have NO idea what 'NO' means until trained to . Then the word comes from the owner/trainer, and means something. A RATTLE is a distraction I have never seen this method used , so can't really comment . Does this help you at all? LINK to Mark Singer's blog excerpt :

You need the right tool for the job ;) Buy a specific product for the removal of urine ! Urine-off is one brand - there are lots more .Pawfect puts one out that I know of :) The trick is to use something which will destroy the urine- not just rinse it , or wash it further into the fabric/wood . So many 'disinfectants' contain ammonia - which- guess what ? Smells a bit like urine ;)

YOU might not be worried - however the horses' owners would be . Frightened horses can kill/injure themselves very quickly and painfully . A dog may be play-chasing - but horses are prey animals , and will more than likely flee. IF the horses are used top dogs - they can also fight back- and can kill a dog with one kick. Living relatively close to suburbia is also a big concern with inadequate fencing - a large dog can cover a couple of kilometres in a very short time .

:) 5 mths old ..he may well be one of those dogs who suffer when they are teething ..and his mouth hurts ;) has he been & had a vet check ?
