Need Help Locating A Certain Type Of Dog Lead
persephone replied to a topic in General Dog Discussion
carabiner clips are ok- but really the connection between lead and collar should have a swivel,and carabiners don't have these. A swivel stops the lead and collar twisting.. Why not get a small carabiner and just hook it thru the other clip That way you have a swivel, still - but only have the carabiner to undo! -
Please don't use tape/cableties/string/pins... your pup could very well EAT them, and then be in trouble
-
Opshop blankets and newspaper warm enough and easily replaced.

Isn't he handsome ?

Brooke- just wanted to add my thanks for the work you do in fostering some of these kids. It is a work of love, and will go a long way to helping these kids heal and grow.

How Do Great Dane's Go On Great Barko
persephone replied to Bevo's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Your pup doesn't need carrots or pasta every mouthful he eats needs to be full of things growing puppies require. I agree with the chicken frame (carcass) suggestion! Chicken necks, unfortunately are 'just' the shape/size to get stuck in a pup's throat and there is a real risk of choking try turkey necks/wings/chicken frames instead ;) Lots of meat/digestible bone, and a good source of the minerals he will use readily. -

Pasta is only to save your purse- the dog will get nothing any good from it It is a waste of money- 'empty' calories, and not ideal for a growing puppy. -
Oops D P

So hard.

How Do Great Dane's Go On Great Barko
persephone replied to Bevo's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Uncle Albers and Great Barko are an OK food- but do not take into account the specific needs of giant breeds/growing puppies. I feed both to our working dogs with good results, but would not feed either to pups . -
:D smells,sounds,shapes..all picked up and acted upon in an instant- while the human has no inkling.

:D They definitely would not be invited back to my place ! Hope you now have a good routine going ,and that your pup continues to learn well

:D how horribly traumatic for them .

How awful :D

Allergy - My Poor Dog Is Getting Really Cranky!
persephone replied to Crazy Daisy's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Don't know anything much about it, sorry- just seem to remember hormonal imbalances causing problems . :D Was just a thought. -
A dog biting a person who is attempting to break up a serious fight is NOT seen by me to be human-aggressive! A dog in a fight is running on adrenaline and instinct- you put yourself in the way- and you will be bitten.

You're doing OK with your pup- YOU can set down the rules re other dogs! I would not let dogs such as hers into my house if they weren't toilet trained

Allergy - My Poor Dog Is Getting Really Cranky!
persephone replied to Crazy Daisy's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Daisy- have you considered it may NOT be allergy related ? Could it be (and I have no knowledge) some sort of endocrine problem? Things on the skin often will start internally ... -
Workshop And Home Dog , Can My Dog Be Both And A Seperation Question
persephone replied to mrsjohnno's topic in Puppy Chat
great! -
perhaps they did - and didn't think it would escalate:perhaps this was a first and last;if she was unknown to the dog- something may have happened to stress /antagonise the dog.... Very sad for everyone. Those powerful jaws -guess she's lucky it was limbs and not head.
-
Good for you!
-
aahh ! excellent , thankyou! I am hoping my first postcard order comes at the end of the week.....buying 16 or more(from the same artist) means only paying $1.01 each ... suits me fine!
