Yes your quite right about having a circular one and also concave. Only problem as far as I am aware they have to be imported and at great expense. They also come with in built heating. I think the cheaper option is, as previously suggested, a clam shell pool and then buy a heat pad. I prefer to have one section warm and part of it not heated so they can crawl off the heat if they want to. If I ever breed another litter this is what I think I will go for. sounds a good plan ... I was thinking of something like a papasan Chair - you remember ? those cane half sphere things - gorgeous to sit in - impossible to get out of ? LOL

ha!! because of those amazing eyes - I had to really seek the toy out!!

..and where are the rest ? :p ;)

Awww.... they always look so content and healthy :)

PS Clear face , esp EYES are to die for !! :)

awwww... the camera loves kittens :)

Noooooo ! he was happy because his night-shift was over !. because he enjoys barking at things .. he gets to be the one tied in the middle of the "lawn" to keep kangaroos off . They have all but destroyed any lawn what with drought ... Dogs on Night Duty get their doonas , their dinner and a water bucket ....and some bread & peanut butter when their shift ends ;)

Sorry, Scottsmum ..T is correct :) WAGS - P's dad is an absolute devil when it comes to working goats ...and has a habit of starting fights amongst any dogs around ...but is the clingiest , softest dog around humans ... yesterday, there was a ski boat making an odd noise .. I had a bat eared dog plastered to my front .. head buried under my ear , his front legs around my neck .... (and no iphone for a selfie :p )

...The Boss's dogs are known locally as "milkshakes" all mixed up ! ;)

Cause they are easier to make. :D I made my own and no way could I make a curved one. Lots of people do use clam shells or blow up pools dependng on the size of the dog. fair enough :)

pudden- his dad , mum , and maternal grandma . he is a LOT like his maternal grandma in looks , size and temperament .

A little off topic maybe //but why are whelping boxes rectangular , when dogs are curved? working sheepdog bitches whelp usually in clean sand , where they dig a hollow . Puppies will always roll to the centre , and there are rarely squashed ones , or ones who cannot access the bitch's warmth/milk .

Do you know what that is teaching her? That you are to be feared ... that's all. She is NOT peeing to be 'cheeky' . Guaranteed. She is more likely peeing because you do not yet understand what she is telling you...and because she is a bit fearful when you approach .. She can also be peeing more because of a BLADDER INFECTION .. I strongly suggest a vet check /urine sample .. to rule out a urinary tract infection .

It was lovely ... Lilly the GR is only 9 mths old ..and I could happily have kidnapped her :) Very gentle , and well mannered ...and muddy and gorgeous . An ideal dog for a rare 'other dog experience ' :) Pudden is basically a gentle boy, luckily.

Unusually, yesterday we had visitors who brought their dog ( we normally don't encourage strange dogs) ... Puddenhead was very pleased ! ( So was I , as it's the first time he's met another dog properly , and only the second meeting new people ) he also settled nicely as we all had a cuppa ..

perhaps contact the breeder and ask them ? :)

Talk to your dog's breeder? and , yes ... use a stud dog, or purchase semen for an AI .

Welcome back . Lovely shots of the beasts :)

poor dog I suggest calling THESE good folks for a start :)

That year went so quickly :) Well Done, both of you !

So she pees when outside - what about when she's indoors? maybe she feels more vulnerable ouitside? I think these links will be helpful for you :) CLICK HERE CLICK HERE

yes, breed is not important in this story .... :) there are owners everywhere who do not understand dog body language ..and accidents happen.

Scour ban is pink. Could that be the product. Has been off the market for some time but is back on now. yes- that did sound a lot like scourban :)

;) the replies you have seen, and probably more you will see are all part of DOL .... conversation will always head off in differing directions ! Stick with us!! yes, shelter dogs can have illnesses ..but nothing in life is guaranteed :)
