You probably have already checked this but just in case http://www.sheltierescue.com.au/rescue-links.html maybe contact the Bethia Tennyson...Victoria, she may be able to advise Edited to say that there are some litters here (though I have no idea about the breeders at all) https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/puppies/shetland-sheepdog.asp

I know you are trying to do the right thing but get that enclosure NOW Children need to be protected, it appears you are avoiding what is in front of you and hoping the dog may change in the short-term, well that's not going to happen unless you enclose the dog while children are around, a muzzle won't cut the mustard. Honestly you have to 'man up' and get that enclosure and work with your council (who have done the correct thing)

From The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/aug/16/my-dog-was-looking-into-my-eyes-as-she-died-the-grief-of-losing-a-pet-is-real My dog was looking into my eyes as she died: the grief of losing a pet is real Marieke Hardy This year’s Melbourne Writers festival has dedicated more than 20 events to animals. Its director Marieke Hardy says it’s natural to mourn our pets Marieke Hardy and her dog Photograph: Marieke Hardy When the tired-looking woman at the animal emergency clinic shuffled into the holding room wearing an apron spattered startlingly with blood, she told me I had a choice. I could submit my dear, doddery 14-year-old Staffy to some major surgery to determine whether the painful spots in her beautiful belly – causing her now sleepless nights and great, whimpering distress – were in fact a cancerous cluster, killing her slowly from the inside. Or I could save her from the ignominy and terror of being sliced open (“at this age, she might not survive it anyway,” the nurse offered helpfully), ease her out of pain and help her to leave this mortal coil. That night in September 2015, under the too-bright lights of the clinic, with a faint chorus of anonymous animal sniffles and howls echoing faintly through the building, I processed The Choice. I duly wept. I held her sore little panting body. I texted friends who had been in parallel situations. I called a woman who worked with rescue animals and thus surrounded (too often) by similar decisions. She told me, in a firm voice, to be brave. “Too many humans reach this stage in an animal’s life where they realise it’s The End and are overcome by a sudden wash of guilt,” she said. “Maybe they travelled too much, worked too much, didn’t spend enough time playing in the park. Then they see the opportunity to prove how much they loved their animal by throwing everything they have at keeping it alive. It’s selfish. Take her home, smile so she doesn’t pick up the depths of your grief, and let her go.” It was the hardest and best gift I’ve ever given. We drove her home, made her comfortable. I smiled and sang to her and a kind, gentle woman came to the house and assisted with the needle. My dog was looking into my eyes as she died and I carried her warm body out to the car before falling into a howling, on-my-knees trance I didn’t emerge from for months. ‘It was the hardest and best gift I’ve ever given.’ When writer Michelle de Kretser said goodbye to her beagle-whippet cross, Minnie, she wrote: “Every death, human or animal, that I’ve witnessed has brought only a crushing sense of loss: an overwhelming, unbearable not-here. Minnie weighed 12.5 kg and she was a world. She featured in one of my books, had a run-on part in another and led me to a third. I can’t imagine walking the streets we knew without her ballast beside me.” Learning how to grieve for a pet – and asking for that space – is something many of us struggle with. To attach too much sentiment to a non-verbal creature is seen to anthropomorphise; to ascribe a familial relationship upon something that would probably have no qualms in eating our corpse were we to go first. And yet, when we are brave enough to acknowledge the emotional impact an animal’s death has upon us, we are free to reach for the symbolism and ritual essential to start letting go. Some of us dig a hole in the backyard, paint a little wooden sign. Keep a tin of ashes on the mantel. Light a candle on the anniversary of Goodbye. We must acknowledge that the death of an animal is indeed the loss of a true love and friend and that our life, of course, will never be the same again. It is the brave and true course and the more we can hold space for those who are suffering silently, afraid of looking foolish, the better we will be together as humans. My symbolism of grief is with me always – I mixed my dog’s ashes in with tattoo ink and had her attached permanently to my forearm. When I see the tattoo, I see her. We remain together in life and death and farewell, as it always should be. Animal and human, friend and family. Love.

I have been hesitant in posting but will put in my ten bobs worth anyway...whenever I see anything promoted by Pete Evans it is usually a con full of half baked quasi scientific data from an 'institute' somewhere in LaLa land I get so angry that people, including the media, just blindly follow; remember that awful young woman who had cancer then didn't, the one that promoted some diet and was found to be lying, PE reeks of the same self-promotion. It seems the world needs snake-oil salesmen (like Peter Foster) and I have a feeling that PE is another. And... I don't feel much better after posting this rant ps, Pandi-Girl; you can buy 15kg boxes of turkey necks from Naturally Australian Meat and Game at Morningside, you will need to buy a very sturdy mincer though

sure did work Bulldog, thank you! 13 Westies and heaps of Staffies and 24 naughty little Fox Terriers but only one Wheaten and one Dandie, no Cesky or Glen of Imaal well... that is so annoying

I am trying to make my mind up if I'll go to the EKKA on Friday 17th (Terrier day) Is there anywhere I can find out the numbers of dogs of each breed exhibited?...I know there are always Westies and Scotties but I'd like to know how many Dandies and I would love to see some Chesky's and Glen of Imaal Terrier. Thanks

I have posted this as there are some lovely dogs that are the same breeds that many DOLers own there are more hound photos if you click the Dogs Outside The Ring link Dogs Outside The Ring Feel free to share.

it looks as if you are doing all you can for him YG, When I looked at the video of him with the dog-door I thought that you could, perhaps, stick some foam, or something soft and slippery, along the bottom of the door (this may be a chore as you would need to cut the bottom of the flappy-part so it didn't interfere with the foam). I get the feeling that the bottom of the dog-door may hurt him a little when his legs are dragged through. I'm not telling you what to do at all; it's just an observation. He is a dear little dog

From The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/12/heartbreaking-nine-greyhounds-found-in-mass-grave-in-sydney 'Heartbreaking': nine greyhounds found in mass grave in Sydney Other greyhounds found alive but emaciated on the property of a licensed trainer • Warning: the story contains graphic images Naaman Zhou Thu 12 Jul 2018 17.38 AEST Last modified on Thu 12 Jul 2018 19.27 AES A sick and emaciated greyhound discovered at a property in Sydney. Photograph: RSPCA Nine greyhounds have been discovered in a mass grave in Sydney, along with 12 greyhounds that are alive but emaciated and diseased, on the property of a licensed trainer and breeder. The chief inspector for RSPCA NSW, Andrew Clachers, said the greyhounds had been held in appalling conditions on the property in Marsden Park in Sydney’s north-west until they were discovered this month. “Some of them have such horrendous dental disease that you could actually smell the rotting in their mouths,” he said. “The compression sores and the condition they were in – it’s heartbreaking. “Some of the kennels were just hopeless. Inspectors had to open some with a hammer. They were rundown. They were not in a fit state. “To chuck them in a pit and treat them like disposable rubbish – it shocks me and I’ve been investigating in animal cruelty for 10 years.” The state’s new greyhound regulatory body, the Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commission – which was set up as part of an industry-wide reform – said it would investigate the matter together with the RSPCA. At the time the greyhounds were discovered, the owner of the property had a valid greyhound licence. Guardian Australia understands the property was inspected in September last year, and was approved by the commission’s precursor, Greyhound Racing NSW. Mass grave A mass grave of greyhounds discovered at the property, which belongs to a licensed trainer. Photograph: RSPCA However, a GWIC spokeswoman could not explain how the property was approved, how long the owner had had his licence, or if he had any previous infractions. “Legally, no further comment can be made, as investigations are ongoing,” she said. A special inquiry into NSW greyhound racing in 2016 found up to 68,000 “uncompetitive” greyhounds had been killed since 2004 and one in five trainers used live animal baits. Repeated discoveries of mass greyhound graves prompted the NSW government to ban greyhound racing, before then-premier Mike Baird reversed the decision in October 2016. He also established the independent GWIC to take over the regulatory functions of Greyhound Racing NSW – an industry group – on 1 July. In November 2017, the Australian Capital Territory banned greyhound racing, becoming the first state or territory to do so. Clachers said he found the continued abuse of greyhounds astonishing. “To have all this still happening with all that we know about the reform process and the industry [being] given a real clear message from the community – for this to still happen, we still have a long way to go,” he said. “We are astonished that we are still pulling greyhound bodies out of mass graves. There is an element of people for whom no amount of regulation is going to stop people from this kind of conduct.” On Thursday the NSW racing minister, Paul Toole, said there was “zero tolerance” for animal abuse and said offenders “will be caught”. “There is zero tolerance for such abhorrent behaviour and those who engage in it can expect to be removed from the industry and face criminal prosecution,” he said. He added that he believed the GWIC was doing a good job at regulating the industry. “The Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commission formally assumed its powers on 1 July and its staff are already attending race meets and conducting investigations,” Toole said. “The government has been fortunate to appoint high-calibre people to the commission.” But NSW Greens MP Mehreen Faruqi said the findings proved “nothing has changed” in the greyhound racing industry. “This incident just shows that the second chance given to the industry was a huge mistake and all the promises they made to end the cruelty lack any kind of credibility,” she said. “This is not yet another bad apple. This is evidence of continued systemic cruelty.” All the greyhounds are now in the care of the RSPCA and are being treated by veterinary surgeons.

Can your regular vet obtain the notes? They would be required for insurance anyway

Sandgrubber; when my old Westie, Penny became just too old for walks with the other dogs I pulled her along in her trolley until we were a few hundred yards from home on the return leg, I then lifted her out and she walked the rest of the way home, she thought it great fun as she queened it over the other's and really enjoyed her trolley ride and her walk home
