Thanks for that link Muttaburra, that looks to be why terriers are called terriers, it's interesting to note that the description for the Australian terrier says "small greyish wire-haired breed of terrier", I alway thought they were that beautiful rusty red colour. The description does say terriers are usually small, active, and short-bodied breeds of dog, originally trained to hunt animals living underground, obviously the Airedale and the Black Russian Terrier are unusual terriers. :rolleyes:

Westies were used to hunt down otters as well...perhaps they dug them out of their burrows? if terriers are a dog that is used for killing vermin in borrows I would wonder what sort of vermin lives in a burrow that a Black Russian Terrier could get down...a bear perhaps? I mean they are pretty BIG... http://www.google.com.au/images?client=ope...ved=0CCoQsAQwAA so...what denotes a terrier?

I was reading the Caucasian Ovcharka thread and on post #50 a Russian Black Terrier was mentioned....my question is..what denotes a "terrier" as a type of dog? I know it is not the size! as Airedales are a pretty big/tall dog.

Yes!, thanks Marina, there is a store in Cleveland I had better visit...I didn't know they existed! I live on one of the islands in Moreton Bay so it is fairly close (what are their dogs? http://www.petcafe.com.au/Cleveland_index.html ) I make up a big batch of my own raw vege/fruit mix in the food processor, put it in containers and freeze, then mix a bit with their turkey or minced chicken-wing meat, add a bit of linseed meal or kelp and they gobble it up BUT sometimes I run out so if I could buy some it'd be good.

The same cretin who named Greymouth I reckon :D

I think I will buy some of that Ichthammol Ointment dancinbcs. Also a handy plant to grow so you have it handy is Aloe Vera, just break off a leaf and smooth the cooling gel onto bites, little cuts, grazes or rashes...works a treat!

My three have little tartan Tam-o-Shanters with tiny pompoms on top, I have also bought 3 of these (they are around 10cm long) my friend is bringing them back from the UK for me next month so I'll post a piccie of the little guys then ..................................... http://www.bcgap.co.uk/product/654171/6/ba...h_bagpipes.html

me too Poodlefan...I also use Hypericum herbal ointment, it has lavender and tea tree in it as well, I also have 'The Scarless Healer ointment (it is calendula, Hypericum and aloe in it)...I think the base is beeswax as you have to warm it a bit, it's really sticky and a bugger to wipe off and dirt sticks to it BUT it is a fantastic healer!, I also use paw paw ointment but the dogs eat that off pretty quickly. if they get green and or black ant bites rub onion on the bite, takes away the pain.

No I didn't Lillysmum, I didn't notice the link (sorry) I did click it now though and it just said 'Page Not Found'

Daisy mirrors the other two but mostly when there is food to be offered, when we first got her 11 months ago (when she was 7) she wouldn't eat the pieces of banana/cucumber/pawpaw/carrot we offered, she soon changed her tune when she realised she may be missing out on stuff. I don't think she had ever been in the water either, but will now follow Mac into the sea up until their feet leave the bottom, she is pretty proud of herself

I was going to buy some Plaque-off that Becks mentioned in this DOL forum... http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...p;#entry5093121 I couldn't for some unknown reason, then I saw this thread...lucky me, didn't lose my money. (I posted a warning about them on that thread also)

I thought I would buy some of that Plaque-Off ...so Googled it and saw that PetFood 24/7 had it. Their name rang a bell with me and I found that I was already a customer, I tried to order but couldn't find the 'put-in-shopping cart' link to buy it. I emailed them asking how to buy....in the mean-time I saw this on DOL... http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=203578 and here http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...hl=Petfood+24/7 and here http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...=195249&hl= No wonder their name rang a bell. Lucky I didn't pay any money eh!

Not exactly dog related (except for the photo of Fairfield where the RSPCA is) but pretty amazing as you just move your mouse over the photos to see the floods, so I thought I'd post it in case some of you didn't see it on ABC News on-line. Troy..please move post if I have put it in the wrong forum http://www.abc.net.au/news/infographics/ql...beforeafter.htm

I bought a few rolls of brushwood fencing, some from Mitre 10 (cheaper than Bunnings) and Crazy Clarks. I think I paid $25-$30 a roll for it...easy to put up...get a couple of packets of zippy ties while you are there. You can just pin it to the existing fence, It looks good and the dogs get pretty sick of trying to eye each other off through thy tiny gaps Also I have used bamboo blinds that I bought at garage sales or charity shops, you can usually pick them up for $5-$10. If they are long enough you can cut them in 1/2 horizontally, tie the ends off, and attach them to the fence. They look good with ferns or palms in pots in front of them.

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/breakin...2-1225988052699 THREE husky pups had a narrow escape from floodwaters after a motorist ignored road closure signs and ploughed his car and the dogs into a creek west of Melbourne. Police say the 43-year-old man from Plumpton ignored flood signage on Sinclairs Road, Rockbank and drove a ute straight into the Kororoit Creek just before 7pm (AEDT) yesterday. The man got out of the car and swam to safety, leaving the huskies in the front seat of the ute. Country Fire Authority rescuers managed to save the pups a short time later. The 43-year-old driver found at a nearby property is assisting police with inquiries. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the incident, a police spokeswoman said.

Love this thread, I'd be bored if my dog didn't raise the middle claw from time to time. It's nifty there are so many different breeds with so many different attributes. Yep, SkySoaringMagpie, mine don't raise their middle claw, they just stick their tails up even higher

Stop looking at this forum Jed

Woops...I meant (when I said 'post' the photies) for you to just post them on the DOL General Dog Discussion forum. It'd cost ya too much to post out to all of us fat quarter people Rainy. We can always save the piccies onto our computers. What a bugger having to unpick! I HATE unpicking so I decided not to sew anymore...fixed that problem up

Does anyone know if the people with Border terriers are ok after the quarry broke overnight at Fernvale http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/01/12/3110977.htm Is it ok to post this question on this forum?

Hi Mumof3, I saw this on the ABC Brisbane site... http://www.abc.net.au/brisbane/about/announcements.htm 4:13am Brisbane Airport operating as per normal - not affected by weather. Arrival and departure times http://bit.ly/a8rh6w: http://twitter.com/612brisbane/statuses/24891539800981504 It may save you your holiday-house and hire car rent

here ya go...not such gloom and doom after all tho' it still doesn't explain the other mysteries http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/breakin...f-1225985964860 DOZENS of birds found dead in eastern Romania drank themselves to death, the local sanitary and veterinary authority has revealed. The starlings died after they ate grapes left over from the wine-making process, Romeu Lazar, head of the local DSVSA, told the Agerpres news agency. The cause of death was determined after the contents of the birds' gizzards were analysed, he added. On Saturday, several residents of Constanta, 260 kilometres east of Bucharest, alerted the authorities after they discovered dozens of dead starlings on the outskirts of the city. They said they feared the birds had been killed by avian flu, but the DSVSA immediately ruled out that possibility. The incident came after unexplained mass bird and fish deaths were reported in several countries, including the United States, Sweden and Britain.
