Miss B

I use it and swear by the stuff. No fleas here!

I've got 2 dogs I'd like to title next year, my 10-month-old boy and also a Junior dog who I am campaigning for his mum. Would like to do some interstate trips next year and a couple of Royals. Also intending to add a bitch puppy to the family in 2010, but probably late in the year so I imagine she will probably end up being my 2011 'hopeful'

You've got more patience than me, I would have taken them to the pound already.

Thanks for the link ;) The puppy that Richarde Gere is cuddling in that pic looks like a Shiba!

Definately one on my 'to watch' list

I've met a few of these, and most are just very large scruffy terrier-looking dogs. I recently came across a post on another forum advertising APBT x Sheltie pups...

That is an excellent point. I will ask the vet about it week after next when I bring her home. I guess you can't give it to puppies? It's not recommended for use in puppies aged less than 14 weeks.

Fran, I use Comfortis by itself. I like the fact that I can wash the dogs as often as I want, and they can go swimming in the pool etc.

I am using Comfortis at the moment, I swear by the stuff

Dead rats (reptile food)

I've used a product called "Get Off My Garden" which, so far, has worked well.

Sorry guys, that was my photo that WS was waiting on! I'm so slack Calendar looks great, I will definately be ordering one

I always keep a supply of Clavulox and Rimadyl on hand.

Cool, thanks for the heads-up

Sorry to hear you are losing your pups. You say you have had a pup die of parvo in the past, was this at the same property you are currently at?

I agree. A 20-month-old child needs constant supervision (the likes of which can't really be provided by a parent who is busy having their hair cut). I don't have children but if I did, I most certainly would not let them run loose round a hair salon! Nor would I allow them to approach a strange dog, particularly one that was eating. I think the parent and the salon owner are both to blame.

Was she taught, as a pup, to accept these things?

to those who send their dog to the vet looking and smelling nice! We had a dog in for surgery last week, a very simple procedure that had been booked a week ahead. God knows why but when the dog came in for surgery it was filthy and had dried faeces all through it's coat, the smell was horrendous!!

I like that theory

Hmmm at this stage it's not looking like that's ever going to happen

Miss B, I imagine Kyza would make a great agility and obedience dog, he's so keen and has so much energy!! Yeah, I am hoping so He is such a full-on little dog, he literally throws himself into everything he does. I'm hoping we can have fun and channel some of that crazy puppy energy!

I'd like to title my Jap Spitz in conformation, but will have to wait until after his first birthday in February. But that's my goal for 2010 I would also like to get him started in formal obedience, and perhaps try some agility and lure coursing.

Woo hoo Fletcher, way to go!!! Everyone is doing so well, Kyza and I must be the only newbies who are getting dumped weeked, after weekend, after weekend
