Tru Borders

I talked to her about Ivermectin and she brushed me off like a bad smell. I doubt she knew anything about it to tell the truth based on her reaction. I just wish they would take the time to give Educated AND Neutral advice or info and then let us decide. Yeah I know its my responsibility and that I make the decisions .... but I guess im living in a dream world ;)

Thanks Espinay2!! Will do :)

THANK YOU all SO MUCH for the info! Love all the help and informative answers! My pups had all their puppy Vaccs and I did do the yearly heartworm vacc, but after reading your comments think Titre testing is definitely the way to go. My Vet is definitely an Annual pusher so might consider finding a new one, or just standing ground. I feed raw also and I know she's against that ;) How much have you paid for Titre testing and do vets do it or will I need to find a specialty practice?

SO i've been reading lots lately about people not vaccinating their dogs and of course its caused quite the controversy. As the owner of 2 5 month old Borders, im interested to know who does and who doesnt and your reasons. Please, no sledging of others. Also, if you DO NOT vaccinate, do you still use flea and tick spot ons or worming tabs?

Thanks so much Barb!

I saw the Dock Dogs at the GC Pet Expo a few months back and it was amazing! Def will look into that, thank you so much Rumour!

Thats great thank you so much Agility Dogs!! :) :) :)

Thanks so much Ams! You are a wealth of info! Appreciate it :) Thank you!

Thanks Mixeduppup :) I appreciate your info! Im not bagging out Puppy Preschool or saying its not worth it, its just not what im after. Looking for groups moreso, on the GC for future Agility and get togethers :)

Thanks Noishe! I didnt want to waste too much time at puppy preschool, only because Ive had dogs before and already have these 2 learning basic obedience. Guess im wanting to join more "interests in common" groups, but thanks for the options!

Heres the lil tackers themselves :)

Hi All I recently got 2 new beautiful Border Collies, Nacho and Frankie! They are just over 12 weeks old and are pretty amazing, even if I do say so myself ;) Still waiting on 3rd Vacc which is on the 27th, but of course a week or so after that im looking to start socialising them and was wondering if there are any groups on the Gold Coast, Collie or other, that get together for socialising, training etc? Im hoping to get some agility training under my belt as they get a little older to so any info on sports etc on the Goldie would be awesome! Thanks all and Merry Christmas!

Trina are you sure its food? Im not familiar with your older posts but could it be a plant in your garden? Wandering Jew or something like that?

its now been a 10 days since surgery and Asher is doing ok. Had a vet check up today and he is happy with the weight bearing Asher is showing on his leg. to be honest, I set up the crate but only used it for the first 3 days. As Asher has been pretty quiet anyway I have let him have his freedom, with back yard visits every day. Hasn't seemed to have hurt him in any way. Only used the Metacam for 3 days as he seemed fine. So all good so far. Hope positive progression keeps on.
