  1. And this part is 90% up to YOU , and your commitment to making sure a dog has every opportunity top be active and engaged in mind & body . There are many breeds who are not large , but can bark loudly ... and, yes, a pure breed , by all means , however, most any black/brindle dog can make someone think twice ...
  2. LOL - that's a great shot, P C .. he is really stretching out!!
  3. they belong to Marcus and I've told him that for years that he could have a little side earner being a hand model, I think I even mentioned his lovely hands way back with Widget's litter. He thinks they're not Anglo Saxon enough, I tell him that's part of the appeal but he's not interested. :laugh: tell him they are just beautiful ..... :)
  4. Oh :D Welcome little ones :) Glad to read everyone's doing well ... and the photos are great ( who is the hand model ? those hands deserve photos of their own!! ) Hope you got some sleep, and that Neko is bright eyed and feeling OK
  5. I dunno - I laughed at Scottie so hard this morning he went to his Dad for comfort. He was sooooo embarrassed. yes, but Scottie is Scottie ;)
  6. just put some snaps HERE for you :)
  7. 'Junkyard Dogs' I'm just a teddy bear .... "In a Rusty Holden Ute .."
  8. ;) In a previous life , my duck was allowed indoors ..but NOT on the carpet . She learned , so your dogs will, too !
  9. He is TWO !! Born around Christmas time I have no idea where the time's gone ....
  10. it may not be, but I'd be worried that it is an O C D behaviour It would be interesting to see exactly what happens - is there any common factor ? A sound, action, time when it happens ....all that sort of thing . How many revolutions does the dog do -- one or two, then lose interest ..or can it go on for a couple of minutes?
  11. :) The dogs don't mind people laughing at them, I'm sure ....and it's dogs being dogs, at least - not 'artistic' grooming, or dogs walking a tightwire ;)
  12. Is there an aspect of it you think is not quite right? The distance is tiny - 20 metres, just across a normal small house-block front yard (even an unfit doggie would not be over-worked). Daxies can move - they are fast and clever at lure-coursing. Good to have an activity that might inspire owners to do some fitness walks to prepare. Ha! I would love to see them coursing! they are such bright dogs ...and full of determination :)
  13. Dear Don - he is SUCH a treat when there is nothing to chase he can only go off lead when I am absolutely sure there are no rabbits/roos/sheep within about 300 mtrs - otherwise he'll find 'em !! My fault, I know - and hopefully one day my training motivation will return ... my dogs suffer because of it these days . *looks at Don lying under the table , chewing on a beef spare rib ...* Oh ..and, after a couple of years - Don has finally matured ! He is now built like a brick dunny .. solid and square, (with what The Boss describes as a 'wolf mouth' )..... and his bark has dropped an octave or two!! Just the last few days we noticed this deep WOOF and thought it was old Leo . Nope it's the new boofheaded Don . :) Gotta love testosterone sometimes ....
  14. :) What fun ! Should be more things like this - dogs are meant to move ....
  15. I used to have a white dog ..now he's sort of orange!! :p A good run in the cool - NO DUST !! ( we had 33 mm )
  16. poor dog .. the guy was probably embarrassed too , and reacted badly Sad all round.
  17. I can't understand why you cannot buy raw? Turkey necks/beef/mince, meat offcuts , lamb hearts are all available at supermarkets/butchers ..(and eggs, yoghurt & sardines are pretty much everywhere ) psyllium husks for fibre , or some cooked celery i have no experience of this problem - hope your boy can remain stable ..and that you get some more ideas . poor old lad .
  18. Haven't ever owned one .. but loved any I've come in contact with :)
  19. :) :) Lovely . They are all so different ... and have such different ways of enjoying the water .
  20. It would be all the same if a child was exploring in the grass! Broken bones and a hell of a mess :(
