~Shepherd~

hmm, thanks guys. Will follow up on this tomorrow. Our boy has been in care for 3 weeks with the ferret and shown no interest so his drive was noted over this period. I know cats are different. Wouldn't it be best to test with their cat if her is muzzled? He is having a trial obviously.

yep.

White German Shepherd shortcoat. Very clever, clean and beautiful.

She was a very genuine member. Has anyone PM'd her to check up on her wellbeing?

great thanks, good idea. They do have a strong screen door off the main room. It will be tough on him, he is such a lovely boy but you never know. The family asks millions of questions and are desperate to make it work as they love him to bits and he just adored their kids. Mum has had a Shep Rottie mix before but they will have ongoing support for as long as they need it. 2 of us a very local to his new home.

all the more reason to get this dog fostered with some one with cats first IMO. So you have an idea of how he'll react. Are these new people experienced with dogs, have the cats lived with dogs before? we dont have a large foster network as our dogs come in irregularly and people move on. We have 2 excellent carers at the moment with our dogs. We dont have cat access so what do we do? Their cat is used to dogs and our dog is used to a ferret and wild bunnies bounding through his acre yard. Perhaps we should look at a muzzle. I am going to be there at the time to get an indication, but I cant move in and he cant live in a muzzle. We are trying to cover everything hence my post. We are supplying a crate. Surely not every rescue is cat tested? If I sense killer instinct we will remove the dog completely.

when we had cats at the farm, our dogs were the same as that, with chickens goats and all. Its conditioning though isnt it, careful intros and full supervision. God I hope it works. My cat attack description, straight from the owners mouth it happened in front of him

so click as in a clicker device? Thanks Farts 2 stray dogs ripped their 15 year old cat to pieces so I am really wanting to get things right from the start with them. So with the cat being boss, how do you show the dog this besides not allowing him on furniture, food and all that?

We have a lovely 8 month old WGSD going on trial possibly Friday with a family. He will be an inside dog and is fully crate trained. He is in foster care atm with a family who has a ferret and a medium bitch and all is going very smoothly. Is restricting cat access initially going to cause more curiosity, or should the dog have fully supervised interaction from the start. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. It is the perfect home for this dog and we really want it to go as smoothly as possible. Thanks.

Ring 3aw on their weekend programs.

how awful, hope someone can help

you can do it on leash for as long as you like, its just casual training for now. Ive met you havent I? Kepala? Yes at Kepala but only for a little while as I had to leave. Echo was the one trying to visit your baby in the carrier. She is only 11 months old. THats right Too cute! Lil was only 2 months old too. This is disgusting but she has actually excreted one of Kimbas hairs, so yes she is around dogs, a lot! Hard not to be when they are all on the loungeroom floor rolling around on their backs

Sorry guys, its Diamond Valley Dog Obedience. Please pass it on, as I want to race

Our Obedience club, very large club has decided to run training for Flyball Sundays at 10.00am. If we get enough people we will be able to register a club to compete There is nothing available out this way and it sucks, so here is our chance of getting a fantastic club together for Flyball. There is a possibility that agility may become available, again if there are enough to hang around after obedience. The club fees are under $60 for a full year. Every Sunday at 9am. Poulters Reserve Greensborough. It is a very friendly non snobby club full of families and ALL sorts of dogs. I love it.

Happy Birthday, you certainly must be doing something right. Hope for many more years together!!! He looks like a lovely boy. I adore Rotties!

Charlie May, our Whippy is head over heals for her mum. My 5 year old. They snuggle every late arvo in front of the heater. Kimba WGSD LOVES my mum. She sings, sits on her foot, rolls everywhere, shakes hands head burys the works. She also is obsessed with Bilbo Baggins, same type of thing. Her eyes are always on me, asking if its ok. She a gem that one, I dont think I will ever meet another with her depth.

You are rehoming her so putting a price on it isnt going to secure her to the best of care, only your jusdgement can do that.

The minimum requirements wont affect you any more than they do now.Because you live in NSW you already come under the code for breeding dogs - much of which is mandatory and you may be breaching this already. Part of the discussion was to consider using NSW current requirements as the norm Australia wide. This mandatory code for breeders is here Go though it and take note of what is standard - [or compulsory] and what is a guideline.The guidelines cut in if there is a complaint against you and can be used in court to show you are in breach of best standards. never mind

foxes are everywhere. Running through peoples backyards every night in Vic unless you are in the city, but they have moved in there in small numbers also.

I will ring the B. Rescue today. I really hope someone will help. They are flying to Melbourne next week to meet one of our boys and hope to take him home. Thanks heaps R&L and Farts.
