Sounds to me there is a high likelyhood he could be affected considering the status of his parents. YouTube Eic Labrador, you will find youtubes and they nay look similar to what he did

It depends, if it is a get on your bed command at home, yes I will repeat it - firmly. If it is an obedience command for example, down from the stand, if they miss it I walk back, call them up to heel, stand them again and ask again. If they were to miss it again I need to think about why. I do not repeat obedience commands. If it was out and about and a life/death situation I do whatever it takes, even if that is 50 repeat commands :)

I got one of mine from WA and the other came from Victoria, would go back to either in a heart beat. They are both great dogs with fantastic temperments, very amenable to training and are very sound.

EI Sorry you have had difficulties contacting Wendy, she has been a bit busy of late. I do know she is considering doing her own deliveries due to the previous issues with the Courier companies. I am in WA but 750kms out of Perth so sorry I cannot help you.

There are many dogs I love and admire but I couldn't live with them as our personalities would clash. I can appreciate a good example of any breed. I do have some favourites but not just one :)

My Male is very well behaved, no going off food, yelling the house down or trying to escape etc. When the time came he performed perfectly, but as soon as the mating was over, went back to his normal self.

As long as he ticks all the boxes and his temperment is fine in his everyday life and when out and about then I would keep him in your breeding program. A bitch I had years ago did not show at all well for me (and I did not have the experience to quickly and confidentaly deal with what she pulled in the ring) She gained her title with a fantastic and confident and knowledgable handler and picked up some lovely wins along the way.

I would be asking why exactly they are trying to declare him as a dangerous dog, if it is becasue his parents have caused an issue they haven't a leg to stand on. Having said that get some good legal advice. You could also try contacting K9 Pro (they advertise in the banners up the top of the page )

I like the doorway for the bitch to get in and out of, to be a couple of pieces that slot into a channel. Smooth, elevated slightly off the floor ( a few cm's) no piggy rails Reasonably high for a more den like environment Not heated but a hole for a heat pad cord

HOw awful, and such a terrible way for their animals to die It is because of my fear of this happening to my animals at home that my dogs are contained to their yard and runs which are brick, concrete and metal and surrounded by green grass

We don't have an Aldi in WA - well not that I know of??? Are they scrubbable? Actually you have jogged my memory Red Dot ( a cheap shop over here) from time to time has plastic basket shaped beds, they would be scrubbale - I will go and look :)

I don't like watermelon and have no idea if the Whippets would eat it?? Will try the next time the OH has some.

I am looking for a hardy bed for a kennel situation for small and toy dogs that keeps them off the floor but is not too high off the ground. It is mainly to cater for very small or aged small/toy dogs. I have seen hessian sack type beds with the legs cut down and plastic things that look like bread crates with bedding in them. I am wondering if anyone has seen, has or knows of a good idea for dog beds in this situation please

I have two very different dogs as well. Lewis is a get him out stretch his legs, show him where the treats are, maybe ask for a sit that is it. Less is more, much more and gets doughy and looses focus. Rommi needs some warm up, positions, little bit of heeling, some games and spins, some reving etc but she really needs to be given treats to get her confidence up and keep it there. Don't warm up enough, dog doesn't work and she gets worried. NEither of mine get fed in the morning, but I am certainly going to consider a small meal next time.

So far I have taken to putting my dog behind me (If I have one with me) taking a very assertive pose and yelling in my meanest nastiest voice - which is quite nasty I discovered one day - I also get ready to let fly with a kick but have only had to actually do that once, thank goodness it worked as I had a Boxer with a full set of fangs exposed not very far from my face.

There is a lady down here that has her third and fourth. The first two were lovely dogs, the third well, she was the mouth from the South and ran on Eveready's and the fourth seems to be a bit quieter :)

I once met a cream coloured Schipperke didn't know that is what it was at the time, and it was over sized by quite a bit and had a tail. I checked it out for ages and couldn't put my finger on what it was. I wondered if it was a German Spitz but didn't think they would be quite that big either. In the end (after being there a good hour or so and trying to figure it out) I asked him if his dog was maybe German Spitz? He said no Schipperke but was soo excited I knew it was for one a Spitz type and secondly that is was not a cross breed. When I apologised for getting the breed wrong he said no no that is fine I am amazed someone even knew he was a breed of some type. I cam home and researched some more :)

I have seen a Chihuahua extremely traumatised and badly damaged physically after an attack by a cat. My dogs when I lived in town were fine with my cats not so with others. I would not like my dogs to kill any other animal, but if a cat got in the backyard and ended up dead, the only ones to be blamed are the idiot owners.

They look like a normal short term Lab sized crate to me. They look like they have carpet or something in the bottom??? My Dobe had a 90cm crate and fitted just fine. I would be more interested in the time the dogs spend in these crates as for short term they are just fine.

A whippet - yep they like chasing Rabbits, no not often they would have to get off the lounge for too long.

Go to hear, will watch out for the update :)

Sorry to hear about Coco. That's what I want. To tell them I'm so sorry I let this happen to them. They know you are sorry and they know you would have stopped it if you could. You will feel them one day.

all I can say is wow, just wow.......................

welllllllll I just don't think about it :D
