That seems impressive ! What was the problem ? puppy, or dog?

Dry is good :)

yes, definitely just feed a normal amount of food .at present .. pre pregnancy quantity , even.. .. so there isn't massive amounts of milk being produced. her boobs will settle a bit once her system realises that there is only one being emptied regularly .... I would probably not use the vinegar - pup may not enjoy the taste ;) ( I have used it with bitches who've lost pups or got mastitis )

It seems I need to update a bit :) Enjoy .

..Guess a raw diet is out of the question .... he doesn't look to have good teeth ;)

Jane Harper from Dogs on Track might be the one, Persephone? If you're in her area, she'd be the best one to talk to. :) That's the name ! thanks . :)

does she have free access to outside ? What was her routine before whelping?

This is definitely a job you need professional advice with .. The name escapes me , but there is someone in Brissie I think who gets recommendation from folks on here ...

Good for you in waiting for desexing .... ! just to clarify , fluff .. dogs can be perfectly well trained using an ordinary flat collar ..and 'pulling problems' in a pup are usually not needing special equipment ..it's the method used which teaches (not physically controls) the pup that pulling is not the only option :) Puppies will pull - they are excited to be out & about ..and have not yet been taught that us poor humans dislike it ;) I don't believe puppies need to wear anything other than a flat collar .... but maybe that's just me ....

Very possible - with our workers ..they will bounce around and work carrying quite a bit of pain - which of course then shows more when they rest .... I do believe animals and humans will 'keep going' for whoever needs them ..then fall in a heap ....

..because she has been running around ..then stops & rests , and the pain starts up when the joint settles ? I have the same with my joints .. not bad when I am moving.. but evenings are not good. Just a thought...

I'm not acquainted with obedience schools recently ..... so can't really comment .. the passing around of pups caught my interest ...

No - nothing except for watching the videos & reading online .

:D Lucky Ginger! Well Done

Ok... do you know anyone who's been there ? :)

Fluff1234 this one ? LINK

The roo I cook sometimes is human grade ... I cannot stand it . Mind you .. different types of kangaroo smell different! the reds are the nicest to eat .. if one does that sort of thing ....their meat has not much smell. The greys ..well.... Does, too, smell a lot less than a big ol' man buck ...full of testosterone & adrenaline ... same as pork or anything ... but more noticeable ;)

I remember bringing our Sally horse back home leading alongside the car one day ... she was a few km away ..and walked really slowly ......

Please ask on here for a more sensible training school ! I have never heard that puppies should not be allowed to free run in their own yard Noise/shadows/learning to THINK and problem solve when alone , learning what's up/down .... all this is what helps make a confident and thinking dog, IMO.

Maybe they are outside cause they are after all dogs and it's good for them, rather then be cooped up in a pen for 3/4 of their life. Pups need to feel rain on their back, sunlight on their face, wind ruffling through their fur, chase a leaf blowing along the ground. I appreciate this is not always possible for people living in flats/units but if you have a backyard, then yeah I think the dog should be allowed to enjoy it, on his own terms, not with a human hovering over them. Totally agree with this :) Environmental exploration /developing of all sorts of skills ..and just FUN ..watching bugs , tasting grass, sniffing dirt, feeling different things with those paddy feet ....

LOL That reminds me of my Grandad - when he got old , and couldn't do much , he had a little mini-moke to drive. he used to put 4 or 5 dogs in.. drive a mile or so away from the house ..tell the dogs to get out , and trundle back home . The dogs loved their runs - and there was no danger of traffic . It did not teach them to chase cars, either ;)

That's a good update :)

Catching mice & rats is OK ... provided she doesn't eat them!! rats & mice she is able to catch may have been poisoned ... and it's risky if she then eats them .

Most dogs will do this, given the opportunity . I knew a little JRT who would jump up onto an outdoor table ,sit really still , and grab any sparrow silly enough to fly low!!
