  1. You can get big bags of carrots at Woollies for a pretty reasonable price, give them as treats. Regarding yogurt...buy a yogurt maker (from a charity shop is the cheapest way, just make sure it has the container inside.) buy the no-sugar fat-free Easiyo sachets from the supermarket (it's around $3.50) and make it yourself. Make it up around 6pm, when you have mixed it all, put it in the thermos-like container and let it work overnight and take it out of the thermos at 6am, let it sit in the fridge for a day as it thickens up better edited to add that they are on special here https://www.ausnaturalcare.com.au/easiyo-yoghurt/easiyo-yogurt-makers-starter-kits
  2. Don't worry so much that your dog is drinking from the pond...she is a dog and that's what they do. Pond water will not cause heartworm at all. Take her to the vet and get her anal glands checked as this may be why she is scooting If you let us know how old she is and breed, weight and diet we will be able to help you more. Oh...and a photo because there are never enough dog-photos
  3. O blast, what a nuisance LmO, can you right click on the video and when the URL appears click on that to highlight it then right click to copy then paste it into your browser's search-bar as a 'paste and go' then watch it there. Try it with this NY Post link as it has Winky's agility video in the article https://nypost.com/2019/02/13/meet-winky-the-bichon-frise-westminsters-breakout-star/ edited to add...do you have some sort of No Script program?
  4. and a little more about Winky from the New York Post: https://nypost.com/2019/02/13/meet-winky-the-bichon-frise-westminsters-breakout-star/ Meet Winky the bichon frise, Westminster’s breakout star By Rob Bailey-Millado February 13, 2019 | 1:12pm Winky the sassy bichon frise slayed the crowd Tuesday with her relaxed approach to the agility challenge. Now the internet is turning this four-legged beauty into a bona fide viral sensation. While her fierce competitors raced through tunnels and over and around obstacles, Winky calmly walked the runway to the top of the A-frame — and struck a pose before sauntering back down. And when working the doggie version of a catwalk, Winky stopped once again as if acknowledging the cheers of her newfound fans. In the end, however, Winky’s losing time of 192 seconds included 92 “faults” and made her fashionably late. Still, it’s worth noting that there were boos when esteemed judge Peter Green declared King, a 7-year-old wire fox terrier, America’s new top dog Tuesday night. We’d like to think it’s because the audience was well aware of who America’s real top dog is.

  6. The website is no longer up though the FB page is still there. There was a huge list of Australian Westie breeders listed
  7. Rolling the pill up in a square of chicken skin quite often does the job especially if you give little bits of skin first then sneak in the pill-covered one then give more skin-treat. Don't just finish with the skin covered pill, keep on giving one or two pieces.
  8. https://www.hillspet.com.au/productlist?fbclid=IwAR2Tq1C5H3EidGavXkhN9a4Q_B8bhhKdO0M8hDoUcyo7DwCA_nFuyLZmSGM Hill’s Pet Nutrition is voluntarily recalling select canned dog food products due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D. While vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs, ingestion of elevated levels can lead to potential health issues depending on the level of vitamin D and the length of exposure, and dogs may exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. Vitamin D, when consumed at very high levels, can lead to serious health issues in dogs including renal dysfunction. Pet parents with dogs who have consumed any of the products listed and are exhibiting any of these signs should contact their veterinarian. In most cases, complete recovery is expected after discontinuation of feeding. The affected canned dog foods were distributed through retail pet stores, veterinary clinics and e-retailers nationwide in Australia. No dry foods, cat foods, or treats are affected. Pet parents who purchased the product with the specific lot/date codes listed should discontinue feeding and dispose of those products immediately. To have discarded products replaced at no cost, please contact the retail pet store, veterinary clinic or e-retailer where you purchased the product of specific lot/date code, or, contact Hill’s via our website or at 1800 679 932. Hill’s Pet Nutrition learned of the potential for elevated vitamin D levels in some of our canned dog foods after receiving a complaint in the United States about a dog exhibiting signs of elevated vitamin D levels. Our investigation confirmed elevated levels of vitamin D due to a supplier error. We care deeply about all pets and are committed to providing pet parents with safe and high quality products. Hill’s has identified and isolated the error and, to prevent this from happening again, we have required our supplier to implement additional quality testing prior to their release of ingredients. In addition to our existing safety processes, we are adding our own further testing of incoming ingredients. For further information, please contact Hill’s Pet Nutrition Pty Ltd. at 1800 679 932 Monday-Friday during the hours of 9am-5pm (AEST) or at [email protected]. This voluntary recall is not applicable in all countries.

  9. From Country Living https://www.countryliving.com/uk/wildlife/dog-breeds/a22652179/crufts-dog-breed-quiz/?fbclid=IwAR232cCODjokHvAIj9Lr121MzjkQcvOq7cNpj9LxZvMyRE7CBTsnlOIUn_w Do you know your Basenjis from your Beagles? How about your Mastiffs from your Maltese? JAN 26, 2019 VARIOUS Up for trying your hand at this dog breed quiz? Do you know your Basenjis from your Beagles? How about your Mastiffs from your Maltese, or the difference between an Italian and English Greyhound? The team over at Crufts – which will return from 7th to 10th March 2019 (tickets here)– have compiled these tricky dog breed questions which might just have you scratching your tail.

LISA CROFT-ELLIOTT, KENNEL CLUB THE ANSWERS: 1 – Answer: It’s the Black and Tan Coonhound! Crufts are showcasing this newly recognised breed for the first time in 2019, along with the Braque d’Auvergne, Russian Toy and White Swiss Shepherd Dog. 2 – Answer: Meet the Irish Red and White Setter, a Vulnerable Native breed in the UK with less than 300 pups registered a year. Its more famous and popular cousin, the Irish Setter, has along with the Standard Poodle and Welsh Terrier, won Best in Show the most times after the number one Cocker Spaniel. 3 – Answer: This is the Barbet, a French breed which made its first appearance at Crufts in 2018. 4 – Answer: Shih Tzu.

There was no favourability though from the eponymous showman who founded Crufts in 1891 - no Saint Bernard won Best in Show until Burtonswood Bossy Boots triumphed in 1974! 7 – Answer: It’s an Otterhound, a breed which are at risk of dying out in the UK. They can still be seen at Crufts, though, so keep an eye out. 8 – Answer: This is Lhasa Apso, Zentarr Elizabeth! Unusual names are a thing of tradition at Crufts. 9 – Answer: This is a Leonberger. In the first year the show ran after the Second World War, a Leonberger, which had been spotted in Austria during the war by an English soldier passing by in a tank, exhibited at Crufts! Rumour has it the soldier bought the dog for 10 bars of soap from its owner, a farmer, who couldn’t feed it anymore. 10 – Answer: It’s a Sealyham Terrier. This is another Vulnerable Native breed, with less than 300 registrations per year of these pups. Around 27,000 dogs will head to the NEC in Birmingham from 7th - 10th March for Crufts 2019.

  11. Dolers may enjoy this; The AKC Art Collection With Miss Pickle The Frenchie (and that is the oddest Wire Fox Terrier I have ever seen! ) https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/lifestyle/come-explore-akc-art-collection-miss-pickle-frenchie/?fbclid=IwAR2B7GMbqpn9LNXeF_1WUxLDA0D6_CbENfH3q1exokhy4N7I4KZ_tMQb3-Y Come Explore The AKC Art Collection With Miss Pickle The Frenchie By Randa KrissJun 02, 2016 Here at the AKC we have an amazing art collection that we would like all of you to see. We couldn’t think of a better way to show it than with our favorite art loving French Bulldog, Miss Pickle, from @PickleBeholding. This is Pickle, a five-year-old local of Brooklyn, New York. She loves art and sharing that love with all of her friends. With the help of her owner, Katie Ward, Pickle goes to galleries and museums to pose with fine art. She shares the images with her followers on her Instagram @PickleBeholding, and website ArtBlogDogBlog.com. See Pickle pose in front of some amazing works of dog-art below. Maud Earl, Silent Sorrow, 1910 oil on canvas “Why is this dog so sad? Being at the AKC is great fun!” — Pickle This painting depicts Caesar a Wire Fox Terrier, and the favorite dog of King Edward VII, mourning his death. King Edward VII, son of Queen Victoria, died in 1910, the year the painting was commissioned by the Royal Family. The piece was painted by Maud Earl, an artist born in England, but who moved to the United States in 1915. Her career as an artist spanned nearly 40 years and the AKC has several of her works in our collection from the 1890s through the 1930s. Maud Earl, I Hear a Voice, 1896 “I’ve never met a St. Bernard, I think we could be great friends.” – Pickle This painting is another work of artist Maud Earl. The St. Bernard in the painting is Ch. Frandley Stephanie. Stephanie was owned by a Mrs. Jagger, who, in 1894, became the first female approved to judge St. Bernards in England. As indicated in the title, the painting is supposed to evoke the image of a St. Bernard listening for the voices of distant stranded travelers in the Swiss Alps. Percival Leonard Rousseau, Leda, 1893 “Do you think he will share that pheasant with me?” – Pickle This is the most valuable painting in the AKC Collection. Artist Rousseau was from Louisiana and maintained a kennel of hunting dogs, which he trained both to hunt in the field and to pose for his paintings. He also competed in field trials. You can see the pheasant the English Setter is pointing to in the lower right corner of the painting. J. Dwight Bridge, Portrait of Bea Godsol, 1930 “I’m a purebread dog too, but my job is to look cute on your lap.” – Pickle This painting depicts Bea Godsol and her Sealyham Terriers. Godsol was a very prominent woman in the sport of purebred dogs in the 1930s through the 1960s and only the second female granted an all-breed judging license. In 1968, Godsol judged Best In Show at the Westminstier Kennel Club dog show and was named Gaines Woman of the Year. The artist of this painting is J. Dwight Bridge, known for his work as a portrait artist. Ronald H. Menaker generously donated this painting to the AKC Humane Fund. Painting: Charlotte Sorre, Call to Duty Sculpture: DogNY, America’s tribute to search and rescue dogs “These dogs are true heroes. I’m glad they have been honored in this way.” – Pickle This oil painting, depicting both German Shepherds and a Labrador Retriever, was commissioned byAKC to memorialize the heroic contributions made by canine search and rescue teams during the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Like the painting, this sculpture was created in recognition of the dogs who served America on September 11. “Celebrating Frenchies” “Apparently there is a history of frenchies looking at art… I thought I was the only one.” — Pickle The book is titled “Celebrating Frenchies.” It was published in 2003, in commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of The French Bullytin Magazine, the breed magazine for the French Bulldog. The book includes breed standards in different countries, a history of the breed, as well as French Bulldog art, as depicted here. S. Raphael, French Bulldog “They missed the white fur on my chin and neck… this needs to be sent back to the artist.” – Pickle Not much is known about S. Raphael or his painting of this French Bulldog. It is known that Raphael was a 20th century American artist. This painting has been in the AKC Collection since 1940, so it is at least over 76 years old. AKC Trophy Case
  12. This was on the Dandie page this morning; Thoroughly enjoyed the dandies on Antiques Road Trip, had to catch up with it later on. It was all very nicely put together. Rupert went a bit mad when he saw Bowhill Lucy and didn’t shut up all the way through!
  13. https://nypost.com/2019/01/23/2-new-breeds-entered-into-westminster-dog-show/?utm_campaign=applenews&utm_medium=inline&utm_source=applenews 2 new breeds entered into Westminster dog show By Chris Perez January 23, 2019 | 8:53pm Modal Trigger Buzz, a Grand Bassett Griffon Vendeens, and Bandit, a Nederlandse Kooikeat Brigitte Stelzer There’s going to be some ruff competition at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show this year — with two new breeds joining the ­already stacked lineup involving some 3,200 canines and 190 breeds. The Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen and the Nederlandse kooikerhondje will get the chance to strut their stuff at Madison Square Garden next month after attaining official recognition from the American Kennel Club. The process of getting recognized is extremely difficult and ­often takes years. According to Westminster officials, there will be eight grand bassets and seven Nederlandse in this year’s event. Two of the newly eligible pups met the media Wednesday at a Midtown press conference. Brielly Cipriotti, the owner of a 4-year-old grand basset named Buzz Lightyear, told reporters the breed is “extremely sweet, and they have a big, goofy attitude.” And Rod Beckstead, proudly prepping his Nederlandse, 2½-year-old Bandit, said the breed is “the Pied Piper of the dog world,” with Dutch bird-hunting bloodlines. The Westminster Kennel Club dog show will run from Feb. 9-12, with TV coverage on Fox Sports and Nat Geo Wild. Additionally, the public is invited to a “meet the breeds” event on Feb. 9 involving dogs and — if you’re a cat person — adorable ­felines.
  14. A little history on the Dandie Dinmont featuring Bowhill Lucy on tonight's Antiques Road Trip at 4.30pm on BBC1 Wonder when we will see it here you will need to turn the volume up as the recording has been taken off the TV (and, it seems, there is always a critic)

  17. I was thinking this same thing Tassie, it is sooo unusual for this breed to be aggressive, is there a fairly simple way Syringomyelia can be tested for rather than having to go through a MRI?
