My first advice dont weigh food,each dog is different & you should adjust according to the body weight . It sounds like she is simply not getting enough food & quality foods.

I use the same & all mine start from pups through to death. You need Chondritin for it to work. Another product that my old boy is on & with great success is also human & not cheap but "pain no more" It comes in 2 choices & pick according to your issue but it has given great relief to lad whom im avoiding pain meds until really necessary. He also gets monthly bowen treatment If his hip is sore & inflammed & your dog isnt heavily coated i can also highly recommend rubbing Arnica with comfy on to it

Well let me just say my dogs steal socks,jocks until the day they die. Like others have mentioned stealing that sock is a dog greatest accomplishment but again like others they will return the sock when asked. Its fun & gets a reaction after all the floor is the dogs domain.all its toys & belongings that we expect them to play with are there . Puppies want to join in because life can be boring,there little helpers & clothes are alwasy a great fun thing & for some pups being told off still gets the attention they crave for or expect. You need to train your pup it isnt a game but you need to be patient,hes only a baby & like a human toddler is exploring life,objects & your reactions I have to say if you dont want a seek & destroy breed you may have picked the wrong one but i hav eto agree with others your trainers thus far are . There is no way a puppy should be waiting that late to be feed ,it is a baby & its meals are important to it.if your pup is also sleeping inside it wont help with toilet training or hanging on. Feed your pup like you have been ,dogs have no clue about what eating after them should mean but for a baby thats very hungry it will result in a pup going crazy & learning new bad habits My bed is a very busy place ,i have 3 setters who share mine but they all respect my commands. I personally wouldnt have adog off that age sleeping on the bed more due to injury risk. We learnt many many years ago about babies & beds & it resulted in a very badly broken leg because she jumped & wasnt ready .

I would also suggest checking outthe Dallie club of America website which has a great health section

Firstly you need to contact the breeder in WA ,they may wish to take the dog back . Reading back on prior posts i see your son has disabilities,do you think there could be a connection between his issues & what he is doing??

i dont see the runs as an allergy but an intolerance. A food allergy to me means the dog suffers differently ie bad ears,hot spots,chronic itching,skin sores.. For example my boy can eat meats(except beef which i will never feed for issues it causes) but in portions,any over the portion he gets the runs but he isnt allergic. He gets eggs but to many eggs can cause a stomach upset . I cant eat egg whites because it makes me sick but the middle no issues.i just cant stomach it. In relation to westies as a groomer yes we see dogs with issues BUT i have to say they have a very high incidence of owner created ,like my breed they need a good diet of essential fatty acids & many people dont feed correctly ,give shit treats & way too much junk food. Many treat them like little kids & feed my dogs & the likes & they just dont cut it. many westie owners we have suggested a new diet & it has worked fine & sadly there vets just dish out prednil which doesnt help the cause.

sorry i dont agree with this part,reacting to one food isnt the end of the world & each dog is an individual.My dogs cant stomach beef ,many dogs cant tolerate chicken its very common. Its like saying if your a parent & you cant eat peanut butter you shouldnt have kids. The demodex is a whole different ball game ,i have never experienced it but i believe it can come in different forms & certain scenarios can set it off. We board alot of dallies & pointers who all have red bellies & no food issues but laying on the ground & having fine skin there seem to irritate it especially concrete. Also Eukanuba has been known to send dogs red . Eagle pack holistic gives my guys the runs,optium makes them scratch like crazy & lose weight so in reality any food can set a dog off so before considering your breeding doomed make sure you research well.

We did it about a month back at Yangabub and the tracks are fine in terms of the dogs coats, it was just abit wet and muddy but not much. Most of the track consisted of limestoney gravel and some bitumen track and a small amount of sandy track where the weather had washed sand across the track. The track was quite wide except we did have a couple of fallen trees because of a storm the night before but the GSA had done a good job of moving them. There were a couple of showdogs doing it including mine (Aussie) and a friends Springer without any issues with their coats. Both dogs are Champions and the Springer is an import that is currently taking out several BIG over east. While practicing with my sister and her dogs there recently we did have a bandicoot run across our path which did excite the dogs abit. All in all a fairly easy track though. Thanks i can practise on all those surfaces in my street. Coat wise i was more worried if it would stick & of course i would have to get off pick the crap out as it would annoy him although i can tie the coat up. I now the springer well although my lad has much more coat

Even trimmed it will still get stuck ,You have a breed where you need to check daily for issues there. Once poo has stuck it will block his ability to toilet.. When groom many dogs where owners dont get & the dogs come in with poo pancaked to there butt

My boys pedigree is one of brains, The GS thrive at sporting events. IS also do well at ET but you dont see many ES with the title Im starting with an ES & maybe then work on GS

If anyone thinks there child is naughty i can offer a challenge for you. Smart ass ,willing to learn just has a lazy owner He can light switches on/off.Does hand target,high fives,shake,ball obsessed with no training,shows like adream on a lose lead but a turd on a walking lead LOL

From what i read that sounds right,much easier than before. I actually think they dont have to sit anymore but must show willingness to work. Labs i would dare say would send child to run it

A few but not many in my breed,in fact there very fair & few between. If it works out i have a youngster here i will train for the following year ,he could be ready next year but i would sooner put the time & effort in & do it safely. 2 blondes on a bike plus i could get in trouble if Labs is behind & i raise my hand,her dog may no longer be under effective control. I have to work on the basic obedience but that should be no issues

I think what you need to remember is what your basenjis get & a large breed pup is very different. For personal choice i wouldnt feed either & there both high in protein. I switched mine to large/giant holistic eagle pack & whilst i hated the effect on the coat (made it dry) it was a god sent for his front which was excellent before hand. He hit a growth stage but was a big growing youngster & what he started on was excellent but not for the next stage. But each dog is different & providing the front was good in the first place & has suddenly gone bad then you can certainly have a good chance of fixing it. Certainly switching to adult with a better ratio works a treat aswell. My boy went through his phase from 9/11 months so his age isnt late at all. Mine are feed dry plus raw meat ,necks etc etc I didnt stop free range exercise as i had no concerns about it being a big issue BUT i did seek advice to make sure

Are you feeding the same diet as the previous owner? What brand are you feeding?? I would consider using a Bowen/doggy chiro to ensure he isnt sore & adding to the issue. If hes over playing or exercising his front could be pinched. Did he have a good front to start with?? If you lift his front off the ground do the front hang forward or east/west?? My youngster did this but i didnt wait so long.i re adjusted his diet & went to my bowen person.withing 2 weeks his front was back to normal for his age/breed & development. I didnt add any supplements to my dog but did change his dry to suit the issue.

I have a good bike seat . I pedal regularly anyway,if anything maybe up grade my bike but thats no biggie. I have a show on that day but atleast i can get feedback on the venue,although obviously things can change next year. Having said that its close to home so thats handy

Okay next year im considering attempting an ET title on one of my boys.I was just wondering if any of the venues used this year where better/worse & easier to work(grass V tarmac) My dog is a gundog & is fairly good at not reacting to wildlife(we have roos/rabbits/bandicots ) in our area so he,s learnt not to react on our daily rides here BUT he is a full coated showdog & im happy to pick crap out of his coat but i dont want to ruin his coat

Even though the site is out of date they will certainly be able to help.Many of the breeders groom or now of good groomers in certain areas. Sometimes travelling that bit further & getting a the correct schnauzer groom is better than getting a horrible job closer

May i ask what you have read ??? Having owned the breed for over 24 yrs i havent read any thing saying this breed has a tendancy to be DA. I am just curious more to whether it is in relation to people perserving them as terriers in articles or not. We board many minis we have breed & others & have yet to see a DA mini, as i say rarely do they appear because the breed by nature is very social. The other sizes is a whole new ball game

You rarely have unsocial minis,infact i have yet to see any. I think you do need to seek help to make sure you are reading it all right This is only good advice if done correctly & as read on DOL many a time people who have followed this advice have also ended up with a pup terrified of dogs. Dont panic at his first experience,depending on the other dogs it can be very overwhelming & being patient & taking baby steps works wonders.providing your instructor knows what there doing your little one will enjoy mixing sooner than you think. Mins are brave soles

Some send blood for CLAD testingto sweden so it can be done

Ungvita fis oil is better than the paw paw but again if around dirt it will collect it & stick. The purple sparya is amust. Withboarders that come in with ears eaten we use the purple spray & white zinc cream

I also i remember your original post that she nipped at your face when you would go done to her.i gather she was told off & at present may have no idea what you want as far as touching

It could be the way you approach her, Dont mean to be personal but ar eyou a smoker??Some dogs for example find the smell on hands very overwhelming. Very strong perfume the same. I wouldnt worry,just ignore & reward . Your pup is still very young

I wouldnt worry.i think your OH has it right & she is only a youngster . For example i have 3 dogs here. One is a super snuggler,will snuggle on the lounge,will snuggle on the floor.will snuggle on anything that you sit/stand on. My older boy has never been a snuggler but simply adores being acknowledged whether it be a simple touch or the sound of your voice.he is avery loving dog but he doesnt require touchy/feelys to feel loved. My young boy at bedtime is a bed snuggler,when outside he again isnt a snuggle BUT he loves shaking hands or simply parading around with his ball talking & me again acknowledging that hes special.
