Unfortunately the breeder is not responding to any emails or calls so i cant tell her I'm sending the dog back.... I had wanted avoided telling the other breeder about the situation as i know she will feel responsible for recommending her.... The breeder she came from told me she was both in the house and in kennels but bought up as a family dog... I can see on the website now that she does have dogs with family and friends for minding due a a number restriction imposed by local council...

Hi Need some advice.... I purchased an older dog about 2 weeks ago from a breeder interstate that was recommended to me.. From the minute this little dog arrived it has been TERRIFIED of people.. I have seen scared dogs before but this is different. She cant bear to have anyone look at her or go near he. II understand they need time to settle into a new home and i have let it hide in its crate and kept it quiet etc but things are not improving. I have tried to contact the breeder for advice by email and phone numerous times but she doesnt return any emails or calls... I'm beginning to be very worried that the is something not right here. I had specifically spoken to her about purchasing this little girl and explained we need a well socialised dog etc as we take our other dog everywhere and have heaps of contact with children etc and she assured me this would be the right dog for us... I have been a foster carer before for rescued dogs so understand the need for time to settle but there seems to be something not quite right here... The breeder is a registered breeder who also shows dogs in here state. Im not wanting to cause trouble for her but dont know what else to do..... any advice appreciated... especially from other breeders....

I want to try my grey and my two devon rex cats on a different variety of premium dry like Eagle pack or RC and wonder if there is anywhere I can contact for a small sample as my animals are quiet fussy...

HI Lewis and Lyn. I also live in Sutherland Shire and hadnt heard of that vet... I use Caringbah Animal Hospital but will now give your vet a try ! Thanks

Hi Poochie. I have a devon rex and greyhound. It works wonders on the devon rex- so much for not shedding much !! Its also good for the grey when she is molting

Is my dog the only dog that is not fussed on nutro but loves the eukanuba ??

They become obsessed with it to the point of it interfering in their everyday life. They can sometimes stare for hours and bark madly at the shadows for ages, ignoring any effort to distract them. I believe it can be /or become a psychological problem.

post a picture !

a child gate across the bottom of the stairs... that way you can stop on the stairs before opening the gate and command him to sit. You can then teach him that you will not open the gate until he has settled (have a quick yummy treat ready as soon as he sits...)

He may be "a cunning little poodle boy" but with that sweet angelic face, how can you resist ??? Hope you get a good night sleep !!!

This sounds so familiar !!!! But for my son !!!! He used to wake at 4am to play and would NOT go back to sleep.... I found that construction site ear plugs helped !!! Goodluck and let us know how it went !!!

I to would love to know this answer. I am having the same problem with a new foster dog !!!

What about one of those clam wading pools for kids ?? You could fill with water/ shampoo etc and she could "play" in it ??? (Works for my son !!)
