Dilute kelpies have existed for years. we had blue kelpies/border collies (farm bred) 40 years ago :)

yes :)

I suggest checking out PANASONIC LUMIX range :) I have handled a few of these ..and one is on my wish list someday. Big Fan ;) have a look here. some for sale on ebay

Ok.. I hope you have a good understanding of how the impulse buy works - and it does what you want.

Hmmm... after doing a search on Flickr ..and finding images like THIS, and THESE I would say the camera is capable of doing some good things :)

there a multitude! What do you want to do with it ? How experienced are you ? Do you want to hang it 'round your neck, or carry it in a pocket? :)

perhaps find a beauceron breed page ,and put out feelers?

yes! gorgeous george needs rehab :)

..Just gazing ..he is good at that :)

maybe contact his breeder in France , and see just where they may want him to be???They may have aussie buyers interested but unwilling because of costs to import ??? This is part of their gene pool wandering around .... ;)

yep. The spookiest was many years ago , dad was working about 40 km away ..and was driving home in the dark.No mobile phones/UHF radios or anything back then .. mum & I were at home , when all the dogs started howling .... eventually dad got home, covered in blood & glass , after a kangaroo had come thru the windscreen ...at the time the dogs had all started howling .....

Sorry about the results- however it can be managed to keep him fairly active & spoilt comfortable ;)

..erny's suggestion of the 20+ manuka Honey is a good one! :)

thanks - he's a cheeky beast /teen/male :p

Hoping it is KC !! ..well...as opposed to bone damage

if you need recommendations- ask on here - not every flashy website means an appropriately experienced person ;) best of luck with it :)

I suspect you could do as well by taking a normal dog crate, preferably with a low roof, and throwing a pile of doonas over it. Alt., bend a piece of weldwire mesh. Advantage: uses stuff you've already got and relatively easy to clean. The beauty of those is that there is no mesh/steel/straight hard walls ;) I am presuming that when a dog curves/stretches that a surface which moulds and moves is more comfortable than mesh ;) I make my own "dog rolls" from foam bed toppers ..rolled into a cylinder , and filled with bedding :)

Hopefully he has had a scratch only .

:p , he,he ...you looked though :)

..just saw your photo :) yep :) he can gnaw the ends of these ..b ut there are those hard shiny surfaces which sometimes also come away a bit like a half egg ... they slide down easily ..but cannot get thru any further .

The best bones for teeth , are the ones a dog can sit & GNAW his meal off ..using all those sides of his teeth ,as he chews/tears, not crunches .A bit like us chewing corn off a cob - rather than crunching a stick of celery . :)

Ok... with marrowbones- they can come off in sharp edged chunks or splinters on occasion ..when they do cause probs. Millions of dogs eat them ... but .... using things like frozen turkey necks/wings , or whole lamb necks , beef brisket bones are safer - as they don't splinter ..they are not as hard/dense. Anyhow - he needs to visit a vet who just doesn't say "take him home & watch him" ;) & I hope he's feeling comfortable soon. :)
