A dog is still able to father a litter for up to 6 weeks - so definitely separate!

Oh my! She is doing so well, still enjoying her camping trips etc I have never thought of her as 'old' .

Oh! How rude and inconsiderate ...

Hopefully give some reliefe to dogs and owners

That's for sure !

I'm on a coping with low income page - and similar is happening. Looking at posts - most folks cook up meat /veges/rice/pasta - but a lot are buying meat offcuts /chicken feet/hearts & feeding that I feel for those who have big dogs and little money .

A worrying trend , too, is people buying el cheapo food , and making their own with predominantly rice..I feel dog health in general will suffer . Cats, too .

Weirdos are good ones

Run free Warrior - So sorry Rebanne

Maybe their fencing practices are as out dated as their webpage ;) It is showing 2017 highlights, and 2018 annual report ! Guardian dogs are powerful and territorial .It's fortunate there was only one dog killed , IMO.

You're Right I think - once I thought he was considering jumping, but thought a bit about it and went the safer way

had my phone- but truth be told, I was so worried, it didn't happen

Well Done, Rose

Don is 10 - and pretty sensible . he does LOVE trying to dig rabbits out of burrows - but is basically settled. yesterday morning he treed a feral cat , and then proceeded to climb the tree! Don is not little, and not athletic like most of our Koolies . One of his grandfathers was a lab, so he is solid. The tree concerned is a very old, large and gnarled peppertree - with big thick branches of all shapes under a canopy of foliage . It is a bit like a spiral staircase ....and after Don clambered up the trunk to where branches started he then climbed 10-12 feet up ! I didn't call him as he was climbing for fear of him losing concentration - instead I marvelled at just how well he was doing! When he couldn't go any further I suggested he come back down - all the time worried that he might just jump and break something , but he wound his way around the trunk again and landed safely. Mild heart attack time ! LOL

He certainly looked as though he was very well cared for! Sleeping outside can mean many things - including sleeping in a very cosy dog bed on the verandah - merely a wall away from the family .... or it can mean a hole dug in the dirt of a bare backyard .I am sure oakley had an appropriate comfy bed and good shelter . there was nothing specific on that contract ...what a sad story .

That's different

IF he is being the aggressor at 6 months old , this is not wonderful, and you will need to do some work . If he has had enough play and the other dog persists, his behaviour may well be defensive - he is still a baby and may be feeling pressured. It is your responsibility that play is monitored and controlled, that he feels safe , and that he responds to you MORE than he does to other dogs . have a read here, and here Greeting all the humans is another problem - many folks do not enjoy being approached by an unknown dog..especially if it is a bit bouncy . What is pup like on your leash walks ? Does he try to approach people and dogs ? Does he walk along calmly , listening/watching for your voice/hand signals ? What is he like with general manners/obedience around home ?

Good news

What a great idea ! I love that each leg is a sensor .

That does not look good poor dogs - and families.

Well done to Roger, and all the dogs who do this job!

Oh What a terrible thing to happen .

That is so sad - I hope, somehow, she gets him back.

he did well to survive those weeks - a tough little terrier! may he now be happy in his new home with his dads

He was a very lucky boy!!
