I've decided to join this challenge and I really hope I can comment on everyones photos I really do love looking at them So here is my first pic L for Littleman

Firstly the whole "ring a lawyer now if you have been attacked" crap makes me want to Secondly Pain-elicited: aggression based on a reaction to pain or discomfort Punishment-elicited: a reaction to unpleasant treatment by strangers or family Well to me that would be any animal be it dog, human, cat, bird, cow etc, a lot of us humans/animals would react aggresively if we are in pain or are "punished"

Depending on what age they are it can inhibit development - muscle mass, even how they fill out 12 month implant can last a LOT longer than just the 12 months - if you are wanting to breed with your dog allow at lot longer for semen recovery (same as 6 month lasting 12 months i suppose) They know they are implanted when they ask you why the dogs testicles are so small, and by small I mean miniscule not to be to gross but the testicles can just look like a bit of loose skin.

It's not a fault. Many a dog has small testicles, as long as the testes have dropped that is what is considered 'normal'. I know its not a fault, but I have seen a few judges have issues with the size when they are very small.

Thanks Cosmolo and Erny I will print these suggestions out and talk with her about your suggestions. Cheers

Hi Everyone A friend of mine has a young stafford bitch I think she is around a year old. In the last two weeks they have moved house. Before they moved they had no problems with anxiety with her but have some problems now. The other day they left for work, when they got home their girl had ripped apart the screen doors to get inside the house, while she was in the house she didnt do any other destruction. When they got home they found her out in the yard sitting in all the screen mesh shaking and looking very anxious. They have tried everything they could think of to distract her, they have left her with bones, pigs ears, filled kongs and all sorts of different toys. I asked if there were any dogs next door she said one dog whom she has gotten along very well with so she isnt distressed by the other dog from what we can tell. She is an inside dog when they are home but they dont want to set her back with her toilet training by leaving her inside all day with no access to outside and she is used to being left outside while they are out or at work. I have suggested they put a doggy door in say the laundry so if she is anxious about being in the yard she could retreat into the shelter of the laundry inside, they are going to see if that is a possibility. Is there anything anyone else could suggest that might alleviate her anxiety, its obviously a new occurance and has to do with moving to a new home. Would an outside trainer be any help or is it going to be a case of letting her have the time to get used to her new home? I havent had a stafford with that kind of anxiety before and thought there may be an obvious course of action that we may be missing that may help her.

If using it on a show dog just be careful, the testicles shrink so a lot of judges look at that as a fault then.

Yes it was hand held, havent bought my tripod yet. Thanks for the tips, I did have it on all auto function I really need to start using the settings properly, I will make sure I take better care of the settings now

Thanks Chloesdad for the list, I did realise that I had to buy a certain type of lense but that list is awesome I will look forward to which one your talking about Ruger Thanks LukeW, its not that I thought it was a horrible shot, more that with a better lense I could possible get a bit more crisper shot? Thanks for the tips to Polomum.

I finally got home to check my camera the larger of the two lenses is a 50-200mm, I am loading a photo now onto photobucket that I took at our last show to show where I lost the crispness. I am looking to spend no more than say $1500 on a new lense This is the photo, it probably doesnt help that it was night but the photos I took where I was closer were really good

hmmm Im having total mind blank issues right now, I cant for the life of me remember, shit thats embarassing EDT: I probably cant remember because I didnt pick them out, I got two lenses with the Camera as a "pack", I will have to check when I get home,
