persephone

does she really need crating at night at this age ? Can she not be trusted to sleep on a bed ..or suitably protected piece of human furniture?

:) thanks .. I am really enjoying the experience !

I think it's a multi dog household now, zeebie ....

, perhaps..to those in the grooming industry - IF there is another rule/protocol drawn up ..perhaps it could be "Buddy's Protocol" or whatever?

Watching .... Hmmm it's not really fair to let the boy/s get all eager and try mounting in the first place , IMO . if it were my household , they would be separated .. I know they are desexed, but also be aware , she ,and they , could well urine mark, too!! *thank goodness for secure runs , and also for desexing!!* :)

desexed males CAN mate AND tie with a bitch ...and for a maiden bitch ..this could be a very upsetting experience , as well as teaching the boy a habit you may regret later on be careful..keep her separated ....

Just do NOT walk her anywhere from your house ..she will be leaving a trail !! also..walks - ON LEAD only for the next few weeks will need to be somewhere there are NO other dogs , or bitches... it is very unfair to have an in season bitch around other entire dogs not your own. The swelling should increase ..then decrease over that third week ... check your yard .. sometimes an in season bitches' hormones will tell her to go find a mate ..and give her the energy and skills needed to leap tall buildings with a single bound!!!

..and the last of the mango yoghurt clinging to the container ;)

Iphone addict - experimental evening things taken tonight :)

I suggest speaking with the folks at McDowell Herbal . They can probably make up a mixture for her .....

A few rabbit furry feet , (all the cats left !) , toast crusts, an apple, 1/2 a tomato , some grated cheese ..and will have kibble for dinner at bed time.

loving all these images --all so different! here are a couple of mine ... the 'trough' :) Country Town

Lovely Anne :)

I agree

This sort of thing could solve some of your problems .. :) LINK LINK I bought one similar some years ago for a friend and it worked well .

The bacteria will just grow like mental in hot/humid conditions Hope it hasn't got worse by morning....

OH How very sad ..... hope your dad is OK.

got any betadine ? Anti bacterial wash ? keep him as cool as you can ...

The year before last, we had around 30 guineas..all free range . we kept losing one or two ..and thought it was the wedgetails ..and we didn't really mind, as it is such a wonderful thing to have them close. Anyhow..due to my lack of management ..I discovered it was a couple of pups .... pups confined immediately - however they wil still chase if given a chance.

I am glad she phoned you and let you know ... do you know if they have any CCTV coverage of their premises an exit of staff would be good evidence. How awful. :huh:

yes.

No. any of our dogs who kill/eat poultry are only allowed free at night ..or in areas well away from temptation.

x2 Unbelievable. All the behaviours you described are normal puppy behaviours - sounds like the "trainer" was a very poor example of the breed :laugh: x3
