O MY! what a ripper pup. I Googled to find out what they look like---> a Rasta dog...just love them

There is a video in the link which I can't load so perhaps a DOLer can do so http://www.theguardi...nes-in-tanzania Apopo trainer Miraji Saidi with his rat. The animals can each search 200 square metres of land in just 20 minutes. Photograph: Sam Jones for the GuardianThe pre-dawn silence at the foot of the Uluguru mountains is disturbed only by the cries of drowsy birds, the whisper of boots through grass and an intermittent clicking sound that is irresistible to 60 pairs of tiny, almost translucent, ears. When the sun finally rises over the blue peaks to flood the fields below, it illuminates one of the more unlikely scenes of human-animal cooperation. Watched over by men and women clutching bananas and the small clickers used to train puppies, dozens of African giant pouched rats shuttle across taped-off alleyways trying to catch the lingering scent of TNT from some of the 1,500 deactivated landmines that have been sown in the red earth. Most scamper back and forth with an apparent mix of delight and concentration, as if they know that each time they find a mine and communicate their discovery with a fit of scratching, they will be rewarded with a click and a mouthful of fruit. One or two, perhaps still sleepy – or irked at being yanked from their warm wood shavings, dropped into cages and put in the back of the "ratbus" for another day's drills – look less enthusiastic, dawdling in their harnesses along the rope line held between two trainers. But by the end of their nine-month bootcamp, almost all the rats being schooled by the Belgian NGO Apopo in the southern highlands of Tanzania will have acquired the necessary skills to navigate minefields in Africa and beyond. Once operational, they will sniff out mines, which are then checked and cleared by their human colleagues. Facebook Twitter Pinterest The giant rats that save lives by detecting landmines - video Though their forebears have already helped to reclaim millions of square metres of land in Angola and Mozambique - the latter of which is expected to be declared mine-free soon – this cadre of rats could find themselves deployed to Cambodia, where Apopo is working to clear up the explosive legacy of three decades of conflict. The idea of using rats to sniff out mines came to Apopo's founder, Bart Weetjens, 20 years ago as he read an article about gerbils being taught to recognise the scent of explosives. Weetjens, who as a boy bred hamsters, rats, mice and gerbils, began to wonder which rodent would best serve those whose limbs and livelihoods are threatened by landmines. Rats detect mines in Tanzania – in pictures View gallery "I placed myself in the situation of subsistence farmers in Africa, those populations affected by the problem, and looked at the resources these people have at hand to develop a tool that would empower them to address this life-threatening problem more independently from expensive imported know-how and technologies," he says. AdvertisementScuttle forward the African giant pouched rat, Cricetomys gambianus. Not only are the animals intelligent and blessed with a sense of smell to rival that of dogs, they live for up to eight years and are – at an average weight of about a kilo – too light to set off pressure-activated anti-personnel mines. What's more, they are easy to find. The rats, which are native to most of sub-Saharan Africa, are so ubiquitous that they are either seen as a pest – because of the damage they do to crops – or as food. The only downside is that they are nocturnal and very susceptible to sunburn, meaning that their delicate ears and tails need to be slathered with sunblock to protect them against skin cancer as they work under the tropical sun. Despite the £4,500 ($6,900) cost of training each animal, they are far cheaper and quicker than their human rivals: Apopo says its rats can each search 200 square metres of land in just 20 minutes; people using metal detectors would take five days to search the same area. In Mozambique – which was heavily mined during the independence struggle and the country's subsequent 15-year civil war – Apopo's rats, handlers, manual demining teams and armoured vehicles have so far found and destroyed more than 13,000 landmines, reclaiming more than 11million square metres (1,100 hectares) of land. Today, as training manager, Abdullah Mchomvu carries a clipboard and keeps a beady eye on the handlers as they drill rats named after footballers, a 1980s action star (Dolph), a mythical beast (Dragon) and, less glamorously, someone called Ron. Twelve years ago, he was among the first Apopo staff to take their rookie rats into the minefields of Mozambique's Gaza province. Now I have no problem going into a minefield. If the rats go into an area and don't find anything, I'm fine to go in Training manager Abdullah Mchomvu "On the first day, I was totally afraid," he says. "There were a lot of skeletons in army uniforms and I was worried that if the rats scratched too hard, they might set off the mines." However, the rats quickly proved their worth: every spot over which they stopped and signalled later disclosed a hidden device. "Everything they found was a mine, so that reduced my fear," he says. "Now I have no problem going into a minefield. If the rats go into an area and don't find anything, I'm fine to go in there." Trust in the rats is vital, according to Tim Edwards, Apopo's head of training and behavioural research. In the rare event that one of the animals repeatedly proves itself unable to master the techniques of mine detection, it is withdrawn from training but kept on as a playmate for its more successful peers. "We do have a range of what people might call personalities in the rats: some are a bit more active and are really eager to go and run really fast when they get on the ground," he says. "Usually, any extreme behaviour – either too quick or too slow, or too social or not social enough – can make them a little bit too difficult to train. We see quite a bit of variance, but ideally we have a nice balance between a rat that's easy to handle but is also active and aggressive enough to go out there and find the mines." To keep the gene pool strong and clear, rats are bred from high-performing male mine rats and wild females. But even that blend is no guarantee of detection perfection. "At each stage, there is a test and the rat must pass the test after a certain number of tries, otherwise it's deemed unsuitable," says Edwards. "Some rats do fail and we're doing dangerous work and we don't want to put rats into the field that can't do it." Apopo's rats are not all engaged in detecting explosives. While the mine trainees are on their way back to headquarters, their medical colleague Wilbard is hard at work in the laboratory, sniffing samples of human sputum to see if he can pick up the familiar bouquet of tuberculosis. Facebook Twitter Pinterest A young rat being rewarded with a syringe of avocado and banana during an early stage of training. Photograph: Sam Jones for the Guardian The samples, which come from hospitals and clinics in Dar es Salaam and Morogoro, are heat-treated to kill the pathogens before being handled by staff and put before the rats. Although the sputum has already been checked once by conventional lab tests, the rats often find missed cases of TB. If two rats identify TB in the sample, it is taken for re-examination in the lab. Clinics and hospitals then contact the patient to begin treatment and prevent further contagion. Apopo says its rats have so far identified more than 7,000 tuberculosis patients who were missed by human technicians, potentially halting more than 24,000 further infections and increasing detection rates by more than 45%. Once again, the rodents have the edge on their human counterparts when it comes to speed: TB-detection rats such as Wilbard can screen 100 samples in 20 minutes; while the same task would take a lab technician four days. Georgies Mgode, a microbiologist who works as Apopo's Tanzanian tuberculosis programme manager, says the rats have already done much to halt the spread of the disease, which killed 1.5 million people around the world in 2013. "If you consider the number of patients who have been cured of TB because of the rat technology, the impact is huge," he says. "A person who suffers from TB loses a lot: they can't work; they're stigmatised." With sufficient support from policymakers, the general public and private partners, he adds, huge progress could be made in reducing the burden of TB in Africa and improving people's economic prospects. Apopo, which received an award of £200,000 ($305,000) last year from the People's Postcode Lottery, believes the rats have even more to offer than mine detection and TB screening. It is not inconceivable that the rodents could one day be seen strolling on leashes through airports, sniffing at suitcases, or working in hospitals. "We do have a lot of interest from other people in the medical industry and also from the security sector, who would like to be able to check for contraband and other dangerous items in cargo," says Edwards. "Currently, there's a lot of interest in sniffing for cancer. We've also been contacted about hypoglycemia and some other medical applications. There's so much potential; it's just a matter of finding the time and the resources to investigate it." For now, Weetjens sees the animals as miniature, but potent, agents of development. By diagnosing TB and helping to get farmers and communities back on to land long denied them, he says, the rats are playing an important part in social transformation and local empowerment. He laughs off the common misconception that Apopo clears minefields by sending in legions of kamikaze rats who sacrifice themselves, pointing out that it fits, all too neatly, with centuries of anti-rat propaganda. "For many people it's a logical jump," he says. "It clearly shows what the prevailing opinion about rats is: since the Middle Ages, they have generally been seen as vermin and transmitters of plague – for which, by the way, they were not responsible. It was the fleas on the rats – and people – that transmitted the plague, not the rats." In fact, he adds, rats have always had a symbiotic relationship with humanity. "In a way, we should be grateful to them for cleaning up our mess or at least take some responsibility for their profusion: they eat the garbage we produce." Although giant pouched rats are still seen by many in Tanzania and elsewhere as little more than candidates for either the panga knife or the pan, Mchomvu also feels their efforts are long overdue some recognition. He has worked alongside them to dispose of far worse than rubbish. "In Mozambique, people fought, they laid mines and then they shook hands and went away," he says. "But they left all those mines behind and they killed farmers. Now our rats are clearing the land and helping people use it again. To me, they are just heroes." • This article was amended on 5 March 2015 to correct the figure for the People's Postcode Lottery award to £200,000 rather than £175,000.

Daisy was seven when I bought her, I also received her papers. On Daisy's birthday I decided to contact her breeder by email. I sent her birthday photos and info on how she was doing. That evening I received a phone call from the breeder who was very happy I had contacted her, she said she loved hearing how her dogs are going. I usually email Daisy's breeder with birthday photos and an update each year now.

Reasons for live baiting .... This in the Gympie Times: http://www.gympietim...-that-/2563958/ DISGRACED greyhound trainer Tom Noble claims that hundreds of greyhounds would have been destroyed by their owners if they hadn't been able to kill live animals. The Churchable trainer, now banned from the sport for life, said greyhounds who refused to chase were given live kills on the lure in a final bid to prove they could be competitive. Mr Noble said he was known as someone who could get a dog to chase if the owner was desperate. "It is the wrong thing to do but if you've got greyhounds and you're desperate, what are you going to do - put your dog down?" he said "Wouldn't you rather put a feral pig down than your dog if you were in that position yourself?" edited as I didn't put in all of the article

:laugh:

Do you think it may be worth while putting an advertisment in 'The land' newspaper? http://www.theland.com.au/ If you contact them they may possibly give you a reduced rate for rescue. Just a thought :)

For those, like me, who didn't watch Four Corners here is an article from Business Insider article (I have deleted the photo) http://www.businessi...6ba2d-278988661 Greyhound racing industry in damage control after horrifying Four Corners exposé on live baiting The Australian greyhound racing industry is in crisis and scrambling to control illegal practices that have gone undetected for years after the ABC TV's Four Corners showed some of the country's top trainers using live animals, including rabbits, possums and baby piglets to train dogs. The distressing secret footage shows dogs chasing, mauling, killing and tearing apart live animals apart as part of their training. In one instance, a possum remained alive, despite being torn nearly in half, and was still attached to the mechanical lure only by its spinal cord. In a damning indictment on the sport, the program, titled "Making A Killing", broadcast footage of dogs being trained using banned live baiting in three states, Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. The incidents were captured in secret surveillance footage by animal rights group Animals Australia. Live baiting is banned and illegal across Australia, with the penalties for animal cruelty ranging between two and five years' jail in the various states and fines up to $30,000. It's sometimes referred to as "blooding" the dog. Some trainers believe the dogs will perform better as a result when chasing mechanical baits during a race. Organisations such as the RSPCA continue to campaign against live baiting and last week conducted raids on five properties in the three states after the Four Corners program passed on details of its investigations. Lyn White from Animals Australia claimed up to 70 people were implicated in the investigation, including top trainers, a greyhound racing club president and a former steward. One of the men caught tying a live pig to the lure has twice won greyhound trainer of the year. The industry responded to the revelations last week by suspending 22 people for using live animal baiting – six in NSW, including a licensed trainer, 10 in Victoria and seven trainers in Queensland. A number of greyhounds have also been scratched from competition and a trial track in Box Hill, NSW, closed, and the Tooradin trial track's registration suspended. The also face up to 10-year bans from the sport as well as potential criminal charges. GRV CEO Adam Wallish forewarned of the damage to the industry in an internal email obtained by the ABC. He warned against attacking the messenger, saying "Be angry at those within the sport that are doing the wrong thing and undermining the values for which we stand. "We should all be shocked and outraged by the allegations in the story and prepared to fight the small minority that continue to partake in such practices jeopardising the future of the sport." The Four Corners exposé has brought a swift response from state governments, with Victorian minister for racing, Martin Pakula, announcing immediately after the program that he told the racing industry to cancel its awards night next week. Additionally I have instructed GRV to cancel next Friday's Greyhound Industry Award night and Chairman Peter Caillard has agreed #4corners — Martin Pakula (@MartinPakulaMP) February 16, 2015 Pakula and agriculture minister Jaala Pulford also announced an investigation into animal cruelty in the greyhound racing industry by Victoria's chief veterinary officer, as well as an independent investigation by Racing Integrity commissioner Sal Perna. The Government will also give $3 million to Greyhound Racing Victoria to improve its animal welfare and integrity measures, including surveillance technology to assist with detection and prosecution; and a dedicated steward to inspect and monitor the 15 private trial tracks registered with GRV. "Live-baiting is barbaric, abhorrent and illegal – it has absolutely no place in Victoria's racing industry and it must be stopped," Pakula said. Four Corners detailed how there had been just two prosecutions for live baiting in the last 10 years. Greyhounds Australasia CEO Scott Parker claimed it was difficult to detect because live baiting occurred in remote locations. Racing Queensland, which declined to appear on the progam, announced a $1 million taskforce to combat live baiting and cruelty claims on Sunday. In NSW, racing minister Troy Grant said he was "shocked and appalled by the absolutely abhorrent and distressing footage shown in the Four Corners report". The NSW Government is currently overseeing a scheduled five-year statutory review of the Greyhound Racing Act 2009. The Minister's response was to extend the date for submissions by two weeks to March 2, 2015. Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) announced the establishment of a taskforce headed by former High Court justice Michael McHugh to "investigate the extent of live baiting within the NSW greyhound racing industry". But it's not the first time the $3 billion industry has been plagued by serious allegations. In October 2013, the ABC's 7.30 aired claims by a former NSW industry vet of doping and cruelty. GRNSW denied the claims at the time, but former NSW auditor general David Landa, who was asked in 2011 to examine claims of misconduct, quit in 2012, saying he was obstructed from investigating by the industry body, who "simply did not want oversight". Landa added that he wrote to the NSW Racing Minister George Souris with advice but did not get a response.

Penny who is 16 is still a good ratter and even though she has lost most of her teeth she still has her canines and puts them to good use with one bite and a head shake. Mac usually waits for Pen to kill the rat then he will proudly carry it home (and hide the body under the sofa cushions unless i quickly swap it for a yummy treat). Daisy get over excited, squeals, and gets in the way :laugh:

may be worth watching and commenting on afterwards. Greyhound racing: Live baiting revelations on Four Corners to be 'extremely damaging' to industry Four Corners By Caro Meldrum-Hanna Posted about an hour ago Mon 16 Feb 2015, 5:08am Photo: Australians are now wagering a staggering $4 billion on greyhound racing each year (AFP: Robyn Beck, file photo) Related Story: Live rabbits allegedly used as lures at Victorian greyhound racing track Map: Australia Australia's greyhound racing industry is in turmoil ahead of an explosive Four Corners report, set to air tonight, that reveals conclusive evidence of live baiting. Live baiting is the practice of using small live animals in secret greyhound training sessions. It has been banned and criminalised for decades, but trainers and owners across the country have been using the illegal training method in the belief that it will improve a dog's performance. Live baiting carries substantial financial penalties and sentences of up to five years' imprisonment. The evidence that will be broadcast tonight on the ABC could have a massive impact on the industry. The RSPCA, in conjunction with police in NSW, Victoria and Queensland raided five properties on Wednesday last week after the Four Corners program, in conjunction with Animals Australia and Animal Liberation Queensland, confidentially handed over the results of its investigation into the sport to the state-based RSPCAs more than a fortnight ago. Tonight in its exclusive report, Four Corners will reveal how trainers and owners across the country, working in concert with licensed trial track operators, are training their dogs using banned methods and engaging in illegal activity. Make no mistake. This story will be explosive, emotive and extremely damaging to the future of this sport in Australia. Greyhound Racing Victoria CEO Adam Wallish This behaviour constitutes cheating under the laws of greyhound racing. Tracking dogs and their trainers from private training facilities and on to official race meets and using undercover investigators to infiltrate the industry, the program has discovered the integrity of potentially thousands of races and millions of dollars in prize money is now in question. Aware that the Four Corners program was set to air, Greyhound Racing NSW, Greyhound Racing Victoria, and Racing Queensland, the sport's statutory regulators, moved to suspend more than 20 trainers, owners and trial track operators late last week. In another attempt to pre-empt the program, on Sunday, Racing Queensland announced a $1 million taskforce to combat live baiting and other allegations of cruelty. But the regulator's attempts to act raise further serious questions about their ability to fulfil obligations and adequately police the sport in addition to carrying out their dual role as the sport's promoter. Australians are now wagering a staggering $4 billion on the sport annually. It is also revealed the illegal activities have remained undetected by the regulators, and makes it clear self-regulation has been a failure. At the same time, the evidence could prompt governments to reconsider their support and endorsement of the sport. 'This story will be explosive' In an internal memo written by Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) and obtained by Four Corners over the weekend, GRV's chief executive officer Adam Wallish encouraged trainers and owners to start strategising and preparing to react publically after the Four Corners program airs tonight. "Make no mistake. This story will be explosive, emotive and extremely damaging to the future of this sport in Australia," Mr Wallish wrote. "As a group of people that love the greyhound breed we should all be shocked and outraged by the allegations in the story and prepared to fight the small minority that continue to partake in such practices jeopardising the future of the sport and indeed the future of the breed itself." Mr Wallish also urged the greyhound racing community to focus their anger on the wrongdoers in their sport, rather than the messenger. "You will be emotional, you might be angry. Don't be angry at those that attack us, regardless of their position. Be angry at those within the sport that are doing the wrong thing and undermining the values for which we stand," he wrote. "This time is a testing one for all of us in the industry and we need to stay resolute in our desire to exceed social standards and public expectations. "The future of the sport and the wonderful greyhound breed necessitates it." Greyhound Racing Victoria has also set up a counselling telephone hotline to support those affected emotionally by the allegations. The hotline is contactable on (03) 8329 1100 and will be available from 7:30am on Tuesday morning. The program, Making a Killing, will broadcast tonight on ABC1 at 8:30pm. Anyone with further information can contact Four Corners here.

Hahaha, I grow kale in the garden and put it into the dogs vegie slops I also give it to the chooks I have Super-Dogs and Super-Chooks Back to topic-->Penny does get scabby skin if fed kibble with cereal but her skin is good when fed raw (along with the occasional dinner of grain-free kibble)

Same here, my vet said the incidence of heartworm is fairly uncommon and he hasn't seen a case for quite a few years. It may be different in lower socio-economic areas (where the incidence of parvo and hepatitis is more common) as some dog owners either don't bother or find it difficult to afford the costs. So DON'T PANIC missing a dose is no biggie

DOLers who can sew may be able to help Mittens pattern in this link--> http://www.ifaw.org/...-PATTERN-A4.pdf Paw protectors needed for koalas injured in bushfires Updated about 11 hours ago Thu 8 Jan 2015, 5:59pm Photo: Mittens are used to treat koalas with burned paws. (International Fund for Animal Welfare) Koalas being treated for burned paws after recent bushfires in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales are desperately in need of cotton mittens, an animal care group says. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has asked volunteers to make up the paw protectors which are used to put over bandages. "The treatment for burns in a koala is very similar to the treatment of burns in a human being," the organisation's Jilea Carney said. "It's a regime of infection control, applying burns cream, bandages." Ms Carney said the mittens could be dropped off at local wildlife care centres, including the Adelaide Koala and Wildlife Hospital at Plympton. She said a template for the mittens was available on the group's website. Four koalas were rescued from a fire in Pottsville in New South Wales late last year, and at least two are receiving treatment in Victoria, but some have had to be euthanased as a result of their injuries, including one who received care on a roadside at Chain of Ponds. The creatures are particularly vulnerable during bushfires because they are slow-moving. And Ms Carney said it was impossible to know how many dehydrated and injured koalas remained on the fire grounds. "We don't know what the needs are going to be. When the fire grounds are opened up to wildlife rescuers, they do what they call a 'black-walk'," she said. "Any injured animals that can be treated are brought straight into care ... but because of the severity of the fires and the amount of fires around Victoria and Adelaide, at the moment we don't know what we're facing. "We may not even use them all this year but we know bushfires are a fact of life and we'll have a stockpile." Vet staff preparing for influx of injured koalas Adelaide Koala and Wildlife Hospital founder Rae Campbell said she was "devastated" with worry thinking about the koalas in need of help. External Link: A koala wearing paw protectors "We've got one coming in very shortly and another following it," she said. "I think over the coming days and weeks there will be many, many more. "Many of them, if they're picked up early enough and treated, are able to be released and have normal lives." Ms Campbell said extra staff were preparing to handle an influx of cases. "We have vets on call and extra vet nurses and extra volunteers on call and we can take 20 or 30 or more at a time if we need to," she said. "Please, if you have a little bit of time, or a sewing machine that's sitting there, run up a pair of mittens." The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital has 190 volunteers and three paid members of staff. Supervisor Cheyne Flanagan said the centre, which on average houses 25 to 30 koalas, will fill to bursting with 100 koalas if bushfires hit the local area. Ms Flanagan said one by-product of bushfires was that staff were becoming better at treating koala burns. "We've got probably 400 mittens here and if we had a fire, we'd go through them in a week," she said.

I still can't get the video to embed (I removed the 's' in https) Can someone embed it for me please as it's well worth watching :) http://www.youtube.com/embed/NK-T_t166TY

I either mix about 3/4 of a bottle of ACV into their vegie slops (I usually make up approximately a bucket-full), if I forget to add it into the vegie slops I just put in about 1/4 tsp with each meal. The olive oil I add about 1 cup to the slops. Interestingly Daisy got a red/irritated vulva, I put calendula on to soothe it, the redness and soreness has all cleared up but instead of being her lady-pink-bits the skin has turned black...looks quite odd when she rolls over for a tummy rub. Mac and Daisy both have marks on the back of their necks from the Advantix applications, I now put the Advantix in small drops along their backs and it still works ok.

Here is a patent, for an app that notifies the driver of a vehicle that an infant is in its carrier inside of the vehicle when a personal electronic device carried by the driver is moved a great distance from the carrier http://www.google.com/patents/US20140253314 Excellent idea!

Penny had very bad skin problems when I first got her, the woman who had her before me had treated them and was making headway. Through trial and error and with the help of DOLer advise I have now put my three on a raw/grain-free diet. They get minced turkey necks (or chicken) as well as a big dollop of vegie-slops (all raw and slopped up in the food processor: cabbage, silver beet, spinach, mint, herbs, sweet potato, pumpkin with the skin, I also add ACV (non-pasteurised), olive oil, ginger, fish-oil capsules, mustard, banana, eggs: shell and all, a couple of oranges and a couple of stalks of peeled aloe vera. Her skin got better very quickly. I think that the ACV is the solution as it helps with the prevention of yeast build-ups. If you give fish oil it is recommended to give a supplement of vitamin E. Westies seem to require a completely raw diet for optimum health, even grain-free kibble is only used as a stop-gap when you have run out of raw :) They also get whole chicken wings at tea-time, garnished with vegie-slops. I usually sprinkle a little turmeric over each meal Also, once a week I give them a tin of Woollies home-brand mackerel.
