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

How is your dog getting on Rebecca?

Excellent! good luck at the vets and please keep us updated

Can you whizz her and the pups to the vet this morning? Time to bring out the big guns and get her some veterinary help... like now

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

Labrador owner's (as well as DOLer's) may be interested (lovely smoochie dog ) edited to add that the family owned 'Old Ginger' the Dandie Dinmont terrier...grandpappy of them all scroll down here http://www.countrylife.co.uk/articles/dukes-dogs-britains-aristocracy-just-mad-canine-friends-rest-us-171496

message BoStoNmAdNeSs and ask him as I have an idea that DOLers can recommend a breeder (and often do) but it would be difficult to comment (especially negatively) about a breeder without getting in all sorts of poo From reading the for sale ads on-line it would seem to be the better bet to contact breeders who do show, at least you can talk to them and get advice on who to contact about buying a pup

well I had a quick Google for Boston breeders and came across some 'breeder' I went at their list Beagle - Beaglier (Beagle x Cavalier) - Boston Terrier - Bugg (Boston Terrier x Pug) - Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Cavalier x - Cavador (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Labrador Retriever) - Cava Tzu (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Shih Tzu) - Cavoodle (Cavalier x Poodle) - Cockalier (Cocker Spaniel x Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) - Cocker Spaniel - French Bulldog - Frug (French Bulldog x Pug) - Labradoodle (Labrador Retriever x Poodle) - Labrador Retriever - Maltalier (Maltese x Cavalier) - Moodle (Maltese x Poodle) - Pomeranian - Poochi (Poodle x Chihuahua) - Poodle - Pug - Pug Zu (Pug x Shih Tzu) - Pugalier (Pug x Cavalier) - Puggle (Pug x Beagle) - Samoyed - Schnoodle (Schnauzer x Poodle) - Shoodle - Siberian Husky - Spoodle (Cocker Spaniel x Poodle) - Speagle (Cocker Spaniel x Beagle) - Welsh Corgi there is another advertising with a breeder number that has Boston's and Boston x for sale There appears to be a large amount of shonks out there so you would be best to contact the NSW breed club and have a chat, or go to a show and ask the Boston owner's if you can contact them when they are not so busy to talk about owning a Boston. The list of shows are here; maybe contact the show secretary to ask if there will be any Boston's https://www.dogzonline.com.au/event-diary/list.asp?state=NSW edited to add; post on this forum and BoStoNmAdNeSs will most likely get back to you

maybe they took the coal tar out of it as it's carcinogenic, try using pine tar ointment instead...it's pretty good

if the OP used Ichthammol it'll do the dog's skin no damage, it has been a natural and safe remedy for aeons so let's just hope

a little severe I think. maybe next time use magnoplasm, it works and is of less concern on the skin. I would rather poke a stick into my eye than put that on my dogs, it is irresponsible to do so edited to add a couple of explanatory links https://www.healthline.com/health/black-salve-cancer https://www.sciencealert.com/what-is-black-salve-and-can-it-cure-cancer

I think, in Zena's Mum's case, the citronella collar beats a kick up the bahoochie

The BarkGuard starter kit works ok, I put it on Zara who barkedbarkedbarkedbarkedbarkedbarkedbarkedbarked It's a citronella spray. I only kept it on a few hours each day for a couple of days, I then turned it upside-down so the spray went towards the ground, then I left it on whilst it was empty. Closer-to-the-ground dogs do have trouble going down steps as the reservoir bumps on the steps and it sprays so the collar needs to be taken off at 'go outside' times then put back on if that Lhasa apso is barking in the yard. Zara didn't mind the collar and was happy to put it on; it almost seemed that she wasn't required to bark as part of her doggie-duties...go figure edited to add; I don't want to sell Zara's bark collar but if you would like me to post it to you for the duration of your Lhasa apso minding I can post it off to you tomorrow and you could post it back to me when noisy-dog is finished being minded. Message me your address

There will sure to be a local craft/sewing group near you WM (commonly called stitch and bitch clubs), maybe ask if they can make you some. and... where do you think you get off saying that you HAVE A NEW PUP and not posting photos and... A WESTIE AT THAT I can't believe you would do that!

I will do the adding more water suggestion SD; seems pretty obvious doesn't it! she gets vegie-slops with her meat anyway so I'll just extra-slop them I have bought two VAN products to add to her dinner: Vets All Natural Complete Mix Adult/Senior Vets All Natural Health Booster I'm still searching for cranberry powder/extract...I wonder if this will be a substitute? (it came up in the Country park search-box when I typed in 'cranberry') https://countrypark.com.au/product/bearberry-leaf/

I had phoned Vets all Natural and the chappy on the phone read out the pertinent points in one of Bruce Syme's articles on bladder stones; vitamin C and cranberry extract was suggested. I have searched on-line and keep finding opposing views which is annoying, here is one https://www.preventivevet.com/cats/cranberry-and-your-pets-urinary-health and some pro here https://ultimatehomelife.com/can-dogs-eat-cranberries/ I don't know about the dried cranberries (from Aldi or supermarket) but I have been hesitant in case they have been preserved/dried using sulphur dioxide

Also; where, in Australia, can I buy animal grade cranberry extract or powder at an extra-reasonable price

Dandie-Zara developed a UTI and was found to have tiny struvite crystals in her urine, she also had a bacterial infection. AB's and Urimav were prescribed, UTI cleared, pH showed around 6.25-6.5, it was advised that she stay on the Urimav. I normally feed raw but do add a small amount of kibble to make sure she is getting a more varied intake of vitamins and minerals. It seems from my searches that lower protein my be helpful so my question is...do any DOLers know of a low protein/grain/rice free kibble that is available? I am not particulary interested in the 'sciency-types' of diets as they appear to be (in some cases) a bit of a con. Thanks

Yes...good news. here is a copy and paste Dogs Outside The Ring shared an album. 5 mins · +8 Redding Police Department added 11 new photos to the album: Dogs Rescued From Recovered Stolen Vehicle.Like Page 3 hrs Quick update on the rescued dogs. All of the dogs taken in the stolen van have been recovered. They were located in a remote, wooded area south of Redding. The van was parked in direct sun, locked up tight. Officers broke a window to gain access to the dogs who were all barking and eager to be rescued. Haven Humane Society was on scene quickly and immediately began caring for the dogs. They were taken to Haven Humane to receive veterinary services, food, water, and loves. The dogs had high heart rates from heat and stress, were thirsty, hungry, and in need of affection, but were otherwise fine. Haven Humane Society did a great job caring for the dogs and they are awaiting arrival of their respective owners. A full press release will be issued later today.
