  1. He is definitely a lot of Koolie , some lab ..and himself I guess ;)
  2. Dogs do mount each other during play , and as a sign of who thinks they are top dog ...
  3. hi again :) BEFORE you get a new pup/dog is the BEST time to start learning- researching breed is important - however, MORE important is learning wht to expect :) WHY does dog do x,y,z ... how do I understand what pup is telling me ? How do I teach dog to come/sit/walk/not jump... The following links are full of info - much of it useful - some not applicable- but all of interest, and handy to store away , just in case! CLICK CLICK CLICK
  4. Ok ... here I am - but whose tail do I have ? any suggestions ? I am 4 weeks old , and my dad is supposed to be one part lab - mum is koolie ..... I have an identity crisis, and I'm not old enough to know !! ;)
  5. Trouble will eat any huntsman she finds on the floor.....
  6. definitely REPORT .... calmly and with facts .... You had witnesses/and should have a detailed vet report - do not let vet say ..Oh yeah , looks a bit sore ..... Oh ..and take dogs out again ASAP - drive them somewhere and wander around a park or something for 10 minutes :) Let them have a good sniff session , and an explore :) A point to think on : walking VERY slowly - noticeably slower than normal - may be interpreted to other dogs as a dog either being ill/injured, or perhaps as a dog 'sussing things out' ..and being intrusive .Either way , a dog behaving a bit abnormally is more prone to being misinterpreted/attacked, IMO.
  7. :) bob knows what is in his best interests . Hope recovery goes well .
  8. so - she's slept in teh crate most of today? And she has to do it again tonight? She has has lots of training/walks & play sessions I hope :) It's a long time to be in a crate with nothing to do .... Glad it worked ....
  9. I used have that but it was human LOL
  10. these would be a pleasure - I get woken at pig-o-clock (6 am) by a screaming swine a metre from my bed !
  11. Hoping for a successful surgery
  12. http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/254129-possible-liver-shunt/page__view__findpost__p__6370980__hl__%22liver+shunt%22__fromsearch__1 http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/247524-liver-shunts/page__view__findpost__p__6153935__hl__%22liver+shunt%22__fromsearch__1 http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/247524-liver-shunts/page__view__findpost__p__6153935__hl__%22liver+shunt%22__fromsearch__1 http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/242937-liver-shunt/page__view__findpost__p__6000280__hl__%22liver+shunt%22__fromsearch__1 these are a few ...I hope they are some help.
  13. not good. There are threads on it ...let me have a look.
  14. It could be an infection , or it could be a hormonal thing which affects the muscles controlling urine flow - either way the vet can help :) DON'T GOOGLE
  15. Ok- she may be hot .? the other dog may move around about that time, waking teh pup- who then gets frustrated and barks to get out ...? she may be going to bed too early?
  16. He is pretty damn cute, indeed!
  17. 3 weeks old - into everything - digging in the sand ... chewing toes, eating and drinking from bowls .... loves climbing on old tyres and things.... Thankfully he doesn't appear to be a yipper /barker . eyes/ears, everything seems to be working fine - which is always a good thing!
  18. hair testing seems a good resource :) It was thru testing hair samples that Emperor napoleon was found to have suffered from arsenic poisoning - it is used forensically I believe to check mineral /toxin levels ...
