Oh goody! How is mumma doing?

Any more news? How very exciting!

i totally love it!

I don't agree with this in regards to dogs. They are a lifetime commitment most of the time. your "requirements" might change and the dog might no longer be "needed".

My dogs are all very vocal when playing.

I'm only 21 and don't have a legal will. My partner and I own our home and have no children. Should really get onto that.

Obviously I love Australian Shepherds and can recommend them, but maybe go and see some. Meet some Aussies. There are a lot of different "types". One bitch here is an australian champion and very full of herself. Another was born for agility. My boys are both lazy sods.

Which one do you like the most?

Can anyone please tell me the numbers for the Great Danes and the day that they are showing? Thankyou

Congratulations to everyone with their litters. I'm sorry to hear of those with losses.

OMG LOOK OUT!!!!

hey do german shepherd dogs come in a silver and black, or a grey and black?

This is what I'd hope for too! :D I'm not sure to react to the people saying they made arrangements to put their dogs to sleep after they've died! For me, that sounds like a horrible thing to do, putting them to sleep for no reason like that.. I would hope that even if I did die that my doggy would still continue to live a long and happy life well after I've gone. I'd watch him from heaven and when he goes over the rainbow bridge, I'd be standing on the other side waiting for him Exactly. When a pet dies, we mourn and move on. It should be the same for our pets.

I'd hope that my breeders would each take back the dogs that they bred. If one breeder would take them altogether I would much rather that though. All being two bitches and a dog. my first is co-owned so would go to her breeder.

Absolutley wonderful. If the German Shepherd was allowed long coats sooner I would have had one by now. Congratulations to all of the breeders and show people, and just general GSD fans!

I don't understand why you haven't had the pound collect them...

Terrible for all involved. I have used dogtainers and jetpets a few times, no problems ever.

Would 36 x 24 x 18 inch be okay for a large doe to live in?

LucyCharlie. Thankyou very much. Another question; can they handle 30 degree days and 2degree nights? If I bought just a couple of does and a buck (so not a huge amount, they'd probably be pets and tame, but i would kill the kits.. Could I throw a blanket over the top of their cages or ice blokes, how resistant are they?

Does anyone have a photographic step by step guide or a video of the whole process? - Killing them wouldn't be an issue; but I'd be interested to see someone skin and gut a rabbit. How often can you feed rabbit to a dog? How many rabbits would you need to start out with to ensure you'll have rabbits pretty much all the time? - ie: If i had four dogs that each ate rabbit once or twice a week; how many rabbits would i need to ensure kits grow out enough to be butchered? Will any fat rabbit breed do or should i invest in a particular breed, Can does be run together all the time? What about the babies, how long untill they are sexually mature or fight with eachother? Can they be frozen? Do they have to be skinned? cant i just chop off their heads and feet and tail? How old can they get before they are too old to be any good for the dog? How big an area would they need? What about stimulation? Would feeding meat rabbits be any different to feeding pet rabbits? Can you do parentxprogeny and sibling litters? Can the skin, head, guts, feet, organs and droppings all be composted for the plants and very garden? - would it burn the plants or be really good for them. Would any rabbit worming and vaccinations release toxins into the garden beds; thus our food?

I would really quite seriously like to look at doing this, considering the amount of meat my dogs eat and the price of chicken these days, this could be the way to go. We regularly go out and shoot a kangaroo, and the BF's mate is the one who skins them while we shoot the next one. But lugging a massive kangaroo home then chopping him up on the table saw is a lot of time and effort, and a lot of the kangaroo gets wasted considering we only feed the tail and back legs. Occasionally we will shoot goats too; but they're just the backlegs and I'm more tempted to eat them myself then let the dogs get them. haha. Rearing and butchering your own rabbit stock would save on a lot of bin space too from all those kitchen scraps they could be eating. Atleast rearing your own rabbit meat; you would know exactly what is being fed to your dog. I have a HEAP of questions about it on my facebook... :p I'll add them here. Would someone please answer all that they can for me? lots of cyber love for whoever can help me.

Jaybeece; I hope you ae going well today.

It would be great if you could set it up to have legs and a table type setup, rather then sitting on blocks like that.. :S

Pupypy Clucky??? Me???? ALL THE TIME!

Nightgrace; I'm in whyalla too. There's also Eza on DOL who is a whyalla member.
