  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. ;) and they won't while you continue to carry them.
  4. ..and those piglets could mean life or death for the family .
  5. ..lumps/'pimples' may also be the result of a bacterial infection.... Hopefully you find out soon
  6. 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 ?
  7. 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 .
  8. ;) next time.. put a BIG watermark across photos you post ...that way there is no doubt.
  9. 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?
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. She doesn't need mince, if she has teeth, and is over 9 or so weeks ;) try lamb flaps, chicken frames .. beef offcuts/rootails . let her use those teeth and help her strengthen her muscles That, and teh dry We use supercoat here when we have a litter - that and lots of RMB's
  13. Looks a busy weekend! Shame someone took over your photos, though!! How did they do that ?
  14. Hmmmm wonder if his owners want him back :p :p Dear little fella..
  15. I needed a giggle .... have fun!
  16. ...and that says it all.
  17. Best to buy from a seller who has sold heaps, and whose feedback is 100% or very close . I usually go read the feedback pages to see what people say ... and sometimes G**gle the same item ...just to compare .
  18. Oh That's such a good update . May she continue to improve now ....
  19. Mostly I poke it down.... I consider this is just a part of training, like wiping eyes/checking mouth...
