  1. Check with your vet when you have your 'new puppy' checkup , perhaps? When was pup last wormed ,and with what? Are you in an area noted for heartworm? Do you have noticeable fleas in the area? What did the pup's breeder suggest/use?
  2. he's a dog - and this is what a lot of them do. if you don't like it - perhaps take him to training, where he learns to do other things around all sorts of different dogs? ..or don't let him approach strange dogs? Sometimes frustrated entire pet dogs get a scent of an in season bitch... and because they have no idea really of what's going on - they instinctively seek out the owner of the scent .. by extra sniffing, etc .
  3. We have had BCxKoolie pups tricolour like that
  4. glad you will have things under control now - poor little fella . I usually rinse dog bedding ( and ours ) using Canesten or similar rinse- just to kill off any nasties ..
  5. BC x kelpie , or 'aussie shepherd' ...maybe X or ..... how old .. ? We need more photos though.. that is VERRRY CUTE!!!
  6. OK I thought, they looked, at first glance, to be safer than a step ladder arrangement , sorry Chris & Rhett .
  7. YES! We raise any pups on supercoat and heaps of fresh - goat, rabbit, roo- on the bone . Adults get fresh/raw and /or Uncle Albers . No veges, no extra rice etc.
  8. Dogs need to learn to be happy alone It is one thing which will save all sorts of worries during her life You will need to work, go out and enjoy life - she needs to learn to play by herself, use self control, relax when alone .....but if you have a clingy and dependent dog and an over protective fussing owner - that's not a healthy relationship ! Thank teh stars you have a pup who seems level headed and sensible
  9. ;) and they won't while you continue to carry them.
  10. ..and those piglets could mean life or death for the family .
  11. ..lumps/'pimples' may also be the result of a bacterial infection.... Hopefully you find out soon
  12. Sounds like more than a 'sensitive' tummy . perhaps get a second opinion if the AB's don't sort it ... Did the vet do faecal tests for parasites ?
  13. Agree My Kieran used to vomit every morning ... until I gave him a couple of bikkies as a snack last thing at night An upset tummy and change of diet is usually not a good combination ... just give her more frequent small meals if you can ... and see how she settles after the AB's.If there is still a problem, then look at diet change .
  14. ;) next time.. put a BIG watermark across photos you post ...that way there is no doubt.
  15. Mites, being a little critter a bit like a crab .. are not affected by antibiotics ;) mange mites burrow into hair follicles/skin..and cause the hair to fall out, usually. Diarrhoea is not part of having mange mites. Diarrhoea is usually caused by a reaction to the pup's diet , or infection by bacteria or a virus..or stress . get a thorough vet check- for loose poo , and his skin problem....then decide about the show has he had anything different food/treats lately?
  16. I am so sorry you lost your girl, and sorry your partner is home alone.... it seems to me though,, having a pup die of causes unknown .. there is NO way I would immediately be bringing new dogs onto the property and possibly risk their health too.. apologies if that sounds harsh.... Hopefully blood test etc will show a cause of death, so you know. Take care.
  17. My suggestion would be to get your chosen bitch ... then use semen from a sire of the same lines as the dog you like ... or even him, if he is available at the time I don't know much about co-ownership.. but I think there are way too many things to go wrong with the sort of arrangement you propose
