:) probably nothing! we have beautiful dogs .. fine with us & those they work with .. but they will not tolerate strangers .

Brought my bro a fuji for Xmas ..it has a fantastic panorama function! :) It does it all in camera . And easy! Viewfinder image is cr*p ... but it has heaps of controls, and a 24X zoom . I love it for landscape type shots :D LINK

ermmm..I've probably posted it twice sorry. *slinks out to get coffee and drugs*

Ironcyclen is made for use in hard working dogs like greyhounds, and also horses. It is purely an iron supplement . We use it for our working dogs when they are really working hard/stressed... and I have used it several times to darken pigment ..pink noses & such . A little goes a long way ..and we always have a bottle in the cupboard !

is it for the iron? To help with skin pigment/coat colour? We have had some success with IRONCYCLEN :)

:) Bo - Bo , alias cuddlepuppy .

That's hardly time for most young adults to warm up :) Nice long walks, with some obedience etc along the way ..nothing to 'rev' her up ... My dogs go to bed after they are fed .. having lost one to bloat , a rest after eating is a house rule.

:) I love my point & shoot cameras ! A couple of months ago, I had opportunity to play around with a Canon powershot SX 230 HS ..and I am in love ............ No money to buy one ... but I can dream :p info in THIS LINK It delivered very acceptable natural light indoor shots .. just hand held ..and 15 minutes after me first picking it up .. and nice colours outdoors (these do not show all that well...)

yes, Digging is something I see as a beneficial thing .. it helps wear away some of the tenseness in muscles and mind .. while getting muscles 'warmed up', ready for the strenuous task ahead .

Our farm bred dogs ... the current patriarch /yard dog is fairly popular, and my bro has been offered $5K for him .

Feed her in there.. sit with her in there ... give her bones in there .... let her know you're happy for her to be there ...put some of her bedding in there, so it smells good ... don't lock her in ....if she has never been locked indoors before it will be VERY stressful.

make a cup of black tea. let it cool . Drip some into eye every couple of hours . Don't wipe or poke ....just rinse it with the cold black tea (can be squeezed from a tissue or cotton ball help over /away from the eye ). The tannic acid is a mild disinfectant . Phone vets again in teh morning - there may be a cancellation :)

for owey & family . Run Free Bailey - no more pain or fever .... Bailey was a lucky boy in that he had a loving and caring family who did all they could , and then asked the vet to do what they could not to set their little one free.

..hopefully the breeder does. to SoL's post. tread carefully , and please make sure you are getting absolutely every question answered before you sign anything .

IMO, that may indeed be enough of a 'hiccup/change in routine' to upset her ..and I suggest you begin house training again .. no scolding, etc ..just HEAPS of praise/reward when she does the right thing .

:) I have had mine for over 20 years ..it has survived multiple labradors, and all sorts of dogs .

yep..for the first week or so, you only need buy what pup is currently eating.easy :) 8/9 wk old pups can definitely handle bones ..provided bones are softish and too big to fit all in their mouth :) Chewing DOES take time ..and that's why it is so good . Bones they can gulp with little or no chewing are the dangerous ones! our koolie pups get bones from around 4/5 weeks old ..and by 8 weeks are crunching chicken wings .

if she has also been toileting indoors recently..is it all a normal texture etc? Does she poo more generally ? What has changed around the house? new neighbours/dogs/cats/sounds/routine? Any different food /water? ..and ,yes ,use a crate if you need to ..BUT remember..it is a gradual process ..just don't buy a crate and lock her in. learning for her to like her crate and be settled using it takes time & effort...

Hi :) Sounds good . What DO you know now .... ? :) have you had this breed before? when was the last puppy you raised? Is the breeder registered and have they agreed to provide support after puppy comes home? Do you have the yard dog proofed? Do you have a vet ready for that very first checkup when pup comes home ?

Oh That news is not good, poor little fella . for you & your family at this time of worry & uncertainty.

Not sure how much is too much .. but a little drink a couple of times a day will just make sure there is enough fluid there to help soften things up a bit.

Oh, Wags ... I am so sorry your beautiful boy has gone on ahead . R I P Riley .

helloo.... :D awwwww

..yep, with not much food going in, and that food very lacking in fibre/bulk.. it may indeed take his system a while to fill up and start to work again. Just offer him heaps of liquid ..chicken broth / water flavoured by soaking a pice of steak in it for several minutes .... that will help :)
