My malamutes are named 'Bourbon' & 'Whiskey' .. but no, im not an alcoholic

Me, family & furkids are safe in Logan.. Stay safe everyone..

HI bernym, Heres a link on how to groom a wooly malamute, but hope it helps in some ways as both Mals/Samoyeds are double-coated breeds http://omalmalamutes.com/omal/wooly.htm

Probably, get them to send an email to http://www.amscq.com.au/referrals.html Hopefully, the mal/sibe club QLD will be able to help..

..if it were 'mauling' her, she would've lose half her face and her mum would not have been able to remove a full-on dog with ease..

Beautiful pics everyone! Keep them coming! Here's my favourite of Twilight & Bourbon Twilight & her wooly cousin, Loki & Twilight on her own..

Taken from this morning's programme on ABC1 with regards to puppies in petshops. If u dont mind, pls also leave your comments on the right http://www.abc.net.au/btn/story/s2973590.htm "Now, you've probably come face-to-face with cute puppies and kittens before at a pet shop. But have you ever wondered how the animals are looked after and what happens to them when the shop's closed? One school girl doesn't like the way the animals are kept behind glass windows and wants stores banned from selling them. But as Tash reports pet shops have to follow strict rules to make sure the animals are treated properly. NATASHA THIELE, REPORTER: When buying a dog or a cat, you might think of going to a pet shop You've probably seen animals for sale in windows or in clear containers before. And while these guys might get a lot of attention during the day from customers, they also need to be looked after by the people who work there. Pet shops are expected to follow rules to protect the animals in their store. Some state and territories also have their own laws. It means everything from food, hygiene and exercise is covered. REPORTER: Here at this pet shop, these puppies are given regular exercise and all this stuff needs to be taken out every day and the enclosure is disinfected. And there needs to be at least one full-time staff member who's properly trained to handle animals. But not everyone thinks displaying puppies and kittens in pet shops is a good idea. STEVE LAWRIE, RSPCA: The main issue for us with pet shops is not so much the conditions that they're kept in at pet shops, it's where they get their puppies from and it's the fact that they stick them in windows. What they're doing is they're encouraging people to make a purchase on impulse. And that's what's known as �impulse buying�. It can be a big problem, especially around Christmas, when you get caught up in the moment of seeing a cute dog or cat and end up buying it, rather than taking your time to make a responsible decision. This is Maisie, a school girl from Queensland. She wants pet displays to be banned. She's set up an online petition and already has one thousand people supporting her. MAISIE, STUDENT: The little dogs are in tiny little cages and people can go around and have a look at them all the time so they're almost just on show. Steve owns a pet shop in Adelaide. While he uses display containers, he doesn't think pets should be in the front window. STEVE, PET SHOP OWNER: They are a drawcard into a pet shop, we do have them at the front of the shop but not in the front window. They can get tapped on, so they can scare them. So I'm not a fan of front window shopping, I prefer them in closer into the shop. And have you ever wondered what happens to the animals when pet shops close? The rules in South Australia for example say they can be left there for up to 16 hours alone. Although some pet store owners like Steve, try to take them home as often as they can. STEVE, PET SHOP OWNER: When they're nice and small like this, they tend to stay. But I have a rotation system, so one cage, say these guys might come home tonight, and then tomorrow night I'll have these little kids down below me come home. If you're looking for other ways to find a pet, there are animal shelters where you can adopt homeless dogs and cats. So what do you guys think about dogs and cats in pet shops? GIRL: It makes them look nice if they're sitting in a window and things, but it's also cruel for the animals 'cause they're stuck in such small places. BOY: I think the people who are in the pet shops take good care of them because I know someone who is working at a pet shop. GIRL: They should just make a like bigger place for the dogs and cats."

Rescue Ink also has a FB page with other amazing video footage of the dogs that they have rescued n rehabilitating.. We need Rescue Ink au :D

Turned on just in time to watch that bastard kicked the little dog in the elevator... ( Sickos!!!!!

Hi PW, i used Paragard on my 2 ..

TY everyone for the ongoing support! He also have a FB page (Bondi Vet) for anyone who wants to vent..! Woots!

*sigh* im speechless... :D

TY Ker Im sure most of u seen the post on Wolf the alaskan malamute, at 11yrs of age, was surrendered because the owner wants a new pup... but thank god, he is safe n now have a forever home to go to n live his twilight years.. Bolt is due today.. if u guys have FB, pls post his ad on your page, heres hoping that he can be saved as every second counts.. His link is on my 1st post...THANK U guys, for the ongoing support..

The last few replies to the above forum kick butt!! N so far no reply from the 'vet' whatsoever???? Busy man i suppose.. To whoever u are, and if u are a dol member... A BIG THANK U for the support!

Fridays screening of Ch 10's The Circle showed the Bondi Vet Dr Chris Brown brought in a Mal puppy he BOUGHT from a PETSHOP & irresponsibly neglected to inform viewers of the unique challenges of the breed whatsoever. The amount of rescues in future will mutiply significantly due to this. It's a tragedy already as petshops have been selling them like hotcakes!! Pls take your time n register with Ch 10 to voice out this wrong message that he is trying to bring across!! http://ten.com.au/the-circle-video.htm?vxS...tcw-020710-seg6 Some of the members of FB group 'Alaskan Malamutes In Need' rang Pets Paradise. They sold 3 puppies from that show. Were told to ring back this afternoon to find out if they were getting more in next week. When asked what sort of dog they are, was told easy to look after, needs a little grooming but are very social with other dogs. Another one of us spoke to the manager. Was told NO HEALTH CONCERNS. Not much exercise needed...just to walk to stimulate their senses, get on fabulous with other dogs, very gentle dog, great with children. Just need to groom in summer to help them cope. NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT! Pls register with CH 10 to have a say in this, not just malamutes but all pups/dogs in general.. Below are some of the responses.. http://forums.ten.com.au/forums/thread.jsp...26? and this is what happen to your cute, cuddly puppy 6-12mths after .. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/ph...oid=57412205451 http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/ph...id=245699619398

FROM A PETSHOP!!! http://ten.com.au/the-circle-video.htm?vxS...tcw-020710-seg6 This is the link to forum with replies to the show.. http://forums.ten.com.au/forums/thread.jsp...threadID=129998 Please have your say in the forum above, this is so wrong...Its not just about Malamutes but all dogs/puppies in general ...
