Thanks everyone for your advice :rolleyes: I am happy to say Archie is now a very keen water dog, he had a ball over the break chasing his toys in the water & swimming around with us. He just didnt stop! :D :D :D The life jacket was a great investment that 's for sure. I will post some pictures when I can find the camera Tina

Thanks for all your help, I will head over there on Friday & see what I can find

Hi I am not too sure if I am posting in the right section........ Wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a life jacket suitable for boxer from in the Melbourne area? He sinks & is so terrified we thought over the christmas break it might be a good opportunity to teach him that water can be fun. Thanks

thanks everyone

My Aunt & Uncle's dog Max was PTS the morning. Might sound weird him not being my own but I spent alot of time with him when I used to stay there, he was your typical 'happy go lucky' Lab. He had 15 & 1/2 great years & was much loved. RIP Maxy Boy & thanks for all the saturday night / sunday morning chats & cuddles Sleep easy old boy free from pain. I will remember you forever XXOO

Hi We had the same thing with our pup, they seemed to think it was an allergy, he scratched at it alot, and had a course of antiobiotic ointment as he had aggrevated his lower eyelids. 3 months later we religiously bath it 2-3 times per day in cammomile tea. Seems to work a treat & has really cleared it up.

We have a boxer boy called Archie, now 6 months old. I too thought it was a loosing battle trying to stop him from chasing birds but about 3 weeks ago I noticed that while he was under his tree in the back yard chewing on his bone there were 2 rosellas eating from his bowl about 5 ft away from him & a magpie standing in his water bowl! They were in clear view. I think he just decided to share! The whole chasing the birds away is a bit of a game. The birds dont seem to be scared away as they keep coming back.
