  1. Mostly the ligaments etc that hold the vertrebrae together do their job. remember though.. bones must be size appropriate. 2 or 3 vertebrae may be fine for a cav, but deadly for a golden retriever .....and NEVER feed neck 'chops' our dogs (kooliex) have always eaten roo tails, sheep/goat necks etc and never had a problem ..mind you they are not teh completely bare ones..ours are fed as a meal - so are complete with meat I would never feed necks/tails bare of meat.
  2. large lengths of roo tail try & avoid the weight bearing bones ..ie: legs/shanks/ They can splinter lengthways..they don't 'crumble when chomped upon like rootails.briskets, pelvis bones or necks
  3. Hope everything's ok - poor dog ..and poor owner!
  4. is there any mention in the small print of the ideal temperature range for optimum operation? if not, there should be!
  5. Lucky girl ... hopefully the snake is not of a size to consider a dog as dinner !
  6. If the breeder uses that prior to puppies going home .. they'd be very busy doing all that for a couple of litters, regardless of how well intentioned it is !!
  7. Puppies do not need a lot of grains- they do not need sugar .. or coconut , or dried fruits ..... you may need to do it for a week or two though..while you gradually introduce your chosen food - just to avoid tummy upsets. BTW a lab puppy does not need soaked kibble .. they are quite capable of crunching dry food and bones at that age
  8. isn't your pup only 5 or so months old? He's a bit young to jog alongside a bike , perhaps .....
  9. Oh.. poor little mite . I hope you can find a reason he had to leave so early .
  10. I've just checked down the back sheds... yep!! Oh ! looks good..AND I can get it tatooe'd !! :)
  11. Oh do you have one which doesn't collect prickles ? they look a terrific idea!
  12. Whippets are pretty resilient .. and THE most wonderful satiny soft warm lapdog :p
  13. ..Oh, and being small framed ? provided you and the dog get properly educated together, and you continually practise your skills - this shouldn't be a problem!! After all- people and horses can work together ..look at the size difference there!!
  14. ..and you have come to a purebred dog forum to ask about researching crossbreeds ;) Welcome anyhow . why not have a read on the pages you find when you CLICK HERE all sorts of info and stories on many breeds Feel free to then ask questions on breeds you are interested in - especially on what problems you foresee. If you have NO dog experience, and are unsure of breeds- perhaps you might find benefit in going to some obedience clubs or shows to see the breeds in action? You may also learn from checking out the rescue forums CLICK HERE Lots of dogs seeking homes here- and most are fostered beforehand, and you are provided with support after adoption
  15. Ok - so it's not because of his breed- it's just poor him with a dicky digestive system Makes it hard....
  16. Why? I have known a couple of toys and they loved their bones
  17. perhaps ask for the results in print ? That way you will know exactly which component the results are for .. and that will be a help to decide on further action, perhaps It will also help you understand what it all does/means
  18. Glad she was more comfortable last night ... here's hoping !
  19. Have a look HERE for answers to someone with teh same question yesterday
  20. - but here, you are preaching to the converted. this should be published far & wide.
