..and , unfortunately, those in the same position may not be managing their own problem successfully ... Any case where a dog has actually bitten a child is serious..and as said, no one here can see the body language of the dog, the interactions between dog & baby , or family dynamics.This makes any advice purely guess work , which is not ideal. yes behaviourists are not cheap , however, if someone is struggling with any form of aggression in a dog, there is not much option.

I think it has to be more defined than bracketing .... ..... and photoshop does it too :) (I have CS3) Take photos. Open all 3/4/5. go to "file". scroll down to 'automate'. click "merge to HDR "...then watch & wait..and do final adjusts.

She's probably a mix of at least a half dozen breeds ..... and you'll see glimpses of all of them at some time :)

THIS THREAD may answer some of your questions .... basically , it is a tracheitis ..but can indeed get more widespread and with severe symptoms.

Thanks, folks....Bernie's lamp is definitely dimming fast , he is around 14...and he will be much missed .... and I'm sure hamlet will miss the face washes bernie gives him , and which i have never been able to capture on camera

The two boys are snoozin' just near my desk...and I couldn't resist.

Frenchie :p

It reminds me of the movie "twins!" :)

:) that second one is a great catch!

I definitely would not be rehoming - aside from that, I don't know, sorry.

before you panic. and google all sorts of odd things ....how about asking the vet ? :) ..

I'm pretty sure they are White Plumed Honeyeaters - very pretty :)

have never done formal retrieve anything ..but usually teach pups/dogs "Gimme" with anything they pick up ..toys/bones/sticks ..I get them to let me take it ..and then reward (don't use treats either, so can't help you there) once they know that ..then I just throw something , say 'get it", they run, grab it , I say 'Gimme" ..and they come to me .....then I throw, etc etc ..

Your photo didn't work , unfortunately ... :) I would suggest 2 meals a day ..just to keep her feeling as though she is getting it all . 1/4 beef heart is quite a lot of meat, actually .... maybe just feed that in the morning, and the 1/2 handful of bikkies at night? She can have raw carrots to chew if she likes them :) what sort of kibble is she eating?

Ouch! What training have you done with her to teach her that equipment is NOT to be chewed? That's an important lesson for pups ..esp strong ones. :) I will also ask how she gets an opportunity to do this, when you are on the other end of the leash ??? :D You sound as if you have a bit of a problem when handling your pup - have you had some input from a trainer at any time? What did they suggest? There are other sibe owners here- hopefully they can help you ... K9pro sell very good leads, etc

shivering is not always to do with cold AFAIK , it is also a sign of stress/anxiety/fear, and can be present when there is pain .
