That's great .. more time spent on a refresher course will hopefully help :)

Congrats Scotts nan !!! :D :D That photo brings back many memories to me ..and I LOVE the detail in those hands :)

WooHoo :) I hope Sebastian settles quickly, and teaches you LOTS ;)

As you are obviously worried ..then do the blood test to put your mind at risk :) Yes, the Big Cheese is a much safer product to use !!

LOL - there is no profit in breeding . :D - that's not why breeding should be done ! Glad the bitch is OK . AS I presume neither of you are registered breeders - you do not have ANY legal/formal guidelines /rules to follow , so whatever agreements you wrote/signed are in force. if you have NO hard copy of anything .... then it's going to be hard ..and the strongest will win

:) good ol' boy! What has your vet suggested ? is arthritis the diagnosis? if it is - use the search function here(top RH of the page ) for arthritis , and you will find heaps of info :) Sounds as if he's a lucky boy!

yes!! That's often an easy one to make mistakes with ...

Glad he's feeling better !

semi frozen turkey necks are fantastic - and a meal in themselves :)

oh not good.

Very good dog!!

:) Glad things are not a lot worse

My Puddenhead ? he does indeed have a shallow cleft ....along with the other genetic errors that make him 'speshal' .... well spotted ;) he's also SO much like his maternal Grandma Caillie ... he has her 'look' when he watches us ... and his thick bones /general build are a lot like hers Actually looking at that pic - she appears to have a depression /beginnings of a cleft in her nose too .

thinking of you all..

have a read here : LINK

All legs & ears !!

When mozzies are bad here , I hang mozzie coils around :) LOOK and HERE these holders are just brilliant!!! not sure what you could put on a small puppy ... maybe a TINY dab of roll-on aerogard on his ears?

:) Good for her! I had a dachsieX many years ago who worked sheep in teh yards/on trucks :)

:)

if the car and facilities are airconditioned , I would ....surely they dog would not be dried with heat ..why not ask the groomer ?

rabbit is a 'whiter' meat than goat /lamb/beef . almost no fat ...maybe that & chicken?

having seen many dog bite injuries to other dogs/stock .. a dog bite on the cheek - in my mind it would have torn out muscle etc as well ? The lady appears to have no problem speaking etc ... *sigh* I hate being cynical .... sometimes.

Must admit to wondering about the facial/neck wound/s .. no swelling or bruising visible ...and it appears to be put back together neatly .. seems to have been plenty of skin The arm def looks like dog bite wounds owwwwww..
