Coolibah Coolies

Pixie I know just how u feel same is happening to us and we live in the bush and my next doors dogs barked all night for months, their jrt lives in my paddock and has a pad from travelling back and forward, one suggestion I have you could keep her inside if you put a very soft muzzle on her the cheap ones are great not tight and they can drink and pant but cant chew. I do this with one of mine as she cant stop chewing had a go at the electric blanket cord the other day when I had it off ram raided Amys room and robs toys etc. Good luck and I hope there are some ideas out there for us, I think Cordys neighbour is cloning

Trifecta sent me one out to try on Tiger the big Kelpie who can put my shoulders out with his pulling, took me a while to work it out but it does work.

For Triv and I bet he is up there playing with Daisy and Buddy and running all over the bridge Flynn :rolleyes:

YEAH vicki and trim go you good things

OH mate go girls congratulations to you both

God love her and rest in peace, you will feel like a part is missing after all those years RIP grand old lady

I am so sorry the love of a Koolie dog is a great thing and I know how you feel 3 years and I still cry for my old friend Jess. Casper was a lovely boy and I am sure he is up there playing with other Koolie dogs. Ruth and the Koolie dogs RIP CASPER

Today I grieve for two koolie dogs :D Early this morning little Buddy the rescue passed away at the tender age of 9 weeks from what I do not know, I am so sorry little guy you didnt get your great new home to play and be loved in. At 12.30 Slipper the mother of my lovely boy Booty passed away at the age of 7 from agressive bone cancer. Slip thanks for enriching my life with your lovely boy and we loved you so, my heart goes out to your mum. Run free Koolie dogs you are much loved and will be missed and never forgotten. :rolleyes: Slipper Buddy I am crying a river today.

Aus that is the most beautiful pic I have ever seen I am so sorry you lost your friend this way, but how lucky you were to know the love of a true and loyal friend. Im he sure rests whilst waiting for you at the bridge

Hi Guys Im now back in the land of dust and Mulga and need to thank Vickie and the Hawkesbury sheep dog workers club for having us all It was a huge buzz to see the death row doggies do their thing and makes it all seem so worth while now I did the happy dance :p

Had to post this for you Riles (BTW, it's called a bridge, if you're gonna hang around these places, you gotta learn the lingo) ;) you should of taken trim to Nyngan today she would of given Pip Hudson a run for his money as he was the one who did not once get the sheep over the bridge thingy amazing stuff. Zest looks good too

Congratulations isnt it a beautiful thing to watch? I went to Nyngan to the 3 sheep trials today and it was soo good watching these masters of the dog world working the dogs, very difficult sheep and one big name did not even finish in the three goes he had. Ruth

oh rozzie and triv you poor things and poor pirate the snakes are early this year bastards pirate rest in peace little guy ;)

Sorry guys I hadnt got back to you, dont worry I am taking no risks with my daughter, really think he is a big spoilt boy who thinks by intimidating people he will get his own way and needs to learn that it dont work that way, :p went to work him on the sheep but they have shot through we were discussing changing them over so I imagine they will be replaced shortly the others were a bit too tame. As soon as they come back I will record him with sheep and with out and in the mean time he is being told no everytime he acts like an idiot, who knows it might sink in Thanks so much for all your help and I will send the cds as soon as possible ;) ruth

I went to a herding workshop in January it was great !!

Which state are u in???

Taken this mornig my daughter is directly in front of him but as I got her to come closer he sort of calmed down do have a short video but is not great light.

Thank you for your swift reply I dont leave him near Amy at all and I will take some pics in the morning he hears her from his Kennel and starts barking she is terified as my dogs are all sweeties and would never hurt any one, I will try and video in the morning for you. Thanks again ruth

Hi Guys, wondering if you can help me I have a rescue dog here he is a kelpie desexed male about 18 month old very untrained but is a nice dog, overwieght but I am working on that. Tiger goes mad when he sees my 8 year old daughter, but he is confusing he barks, bares his teeth wags and play bows all at once, he is ok with a 13 year old girl from next door and adults and little kids, do you think he is wanting to play or wanting to eat her?? I can take some pics or a short video in the morning if that would help. He needs a strong hand as he is so strong and tends to jump up and nip me for attention this is anoying only, not dangerous but needs to stop before I can rehome him. Thanks in advance Ruth

Poor little man how frightening for them both RIP ;) :D
