400 g ... about twice the weight of a large orange or a rat . That's a lot for a crow to get off the ground with and carry - they only weigh about one pound in the old scales...

No . my thoughts on this are that if a dog is in attack mode - treats will not even register..hell, a lot of wounds don't register with the adrenaline & focus !

...............Morning Coffee..................... Ash - style .

*waits for horse pics* Looks a lot of fun :)

I've seen 'crows' here carry whole oranges ... but never with feet - they always seem to carry things in their beaks . They can fit an egg in their beaks comfortably ...a teeny pup wouldn't weigh much ...

Run free gorgeous girl ... Sara's Mum... what an awful week you have had . :(

oh gosh . poor puppy .

hell yes:) I have such a soft spot for labs - worked with them for many years , owned a few ..and yes, have seen them bite/attack /stock chase .....

*sigh* killing machines? More like just pack behaviour, and opportunity to satisfy prey drive. I have seen a litter of labrador pups - 5-6 mths old ,disembowel one of their own .... I have also seen SWF's attacking sheep - thank goodness they couldn't do any damage , though they wanted to! I have been stalked by a pack of stray dogs who were habituated to humans /buildings Dogs are just dogs - and basically, they are predators , moulded to suit humans . When the moulding weakens , or the support isn't strong - things happen.

Dog fights are awful ..and when a human is then also attacking , the combination is very ugly . It is possible for almost any dog to be so focused that cutting off air supply is the only way to make it stop.Obviously the more solid the dog , the more difficult that task is Serious dog fights are scary. I honestly doubt that even I could kill an attacking dog by battering it - don't know .it's an awful thought .Point blank with a firearm, yes . When I was 35 years younger, fit & strong , somehow two stud dogs got put together in a small yard in a kennel . One GSD .One large Lab. All I could do was grab each by the scruff and hold them on their hind legs - one in each hand .... and YELL like crazy for someone to come help! Just in the nick of time , someone did ..I was scared for my own safety ... May I suggest , Scootaloo that you invest in something like THIS to filter out upsetting content. It certainly makes a difference! :)

look at that little miss ! :D LOL

...to take on a 50 kg mastiff x that's brave, good on her and she definitely saved her dog's life. great news :)

I like links ...

DOG fights - LEERBURG BREAK STICKS

For chewy pups , I just use opshop blankets & such ..thick cardboard cartons ...

Thinking of you all ...

just : wow. What absolutely beautiful babies , and now they are well equipped to face all the scary world throws at them :) <3 I will share the youtube bits to friends who are on their 3rd rottie boy , and who are just crazy about the breed .

Yes. Chains are the go at present. A fence would be much more better, l know☺️ Promise to not worry you again.

Thanks for the concern, folks. Everyone around here is aware of the penalty for stock chasing dogs???? Our dogs are usually contained, but recently our 100 yr old yard fence collapsed- and in time a new one will be built. Until then the house acre remains just another part of the surroundings. It makes dog management tricky with no fencing for the first time ever. Avoiding our sheep, and Roos is almost impossible- often the Roos are only 10 mtrs. from the house and the sheep about the same. My dog training/management skills are terrible, and so we have those incidents every so often ????

Did the vet vax her while she was unwell? Hope not. Poor girl.

..as well as me being on the ball! *phone rings* me: Yes? the Boss : Talk to your dog!! me : huh? The Boss :Your dog, this black Moll! me: gulp. hello Molly .... The Boss: Just found her - she cut one lamb out of the mob and had it out away from everything . She is listening, tell her she's a moll. me: Molly? You're a moll. *sigh*..... it could have been worse ..... sheep chasers are NOT appreciated

What a fun and useful gift :)

oh , SM ... So sorry to hear that . At least you know, and can have some special times ......
