Oh... haha...no.... i dont mean we will still breed him, i just mean in general, like when we are to get another dog. We know that with his problems there is no chance we can breed him, but im just asking in general if these problems are hereditary, did they come from the dog that he was bred from, can they be passed on and so forth.

Williamstown Veterinary Hospital.

Tyson is 9-10 months old at the moment. maybe there is still time for it to go away and then scan again near breeding age?

So we took Tyson to the vet for a skin check up as he had major skin issues as a puppy only to be told he also has a mild heart murmur we got Tyson from a breeder with full papers and when we got him home we noticed the skin issues, we tried to contact the breeder and all he said was 'good luck with that' now we know if we contact him about a heart murmur he isn't going to care. Does this mean all his pups might have heart murmurs? IF Tyson was to be bred would this be passed on (is it hereditary?) Tyson was suppose to be bred or used as a stud dog but since we have had him we have found nothing but faults with him so we wont be breeding him but it still sucks to know he has a mild heart murmur. should i be contacting VCA about this breeder? anything that can be done so he stops selling unhealthy dogs?

who???

:p that has just made my week..... i had my eyes closed thinking it was going to be some horrible attack or something ahhhh..... my sides hurt from laughing too much!

I cant remember who but someone once told me that if you give your dog crushed pineapple either by itself or in its food it wont eat cat poo anymore because the cat's poo no longer tastes appealing to the dog dont know how accurate this is, i myself have never tired it as i thought pineapple might be too acidic for dogs? hmm maybe google it, im sure there are ways on there that might help? My Amstaffs do the same thing, we have a cats room and they always try and run in there first thing when they come in the house and eat the cats poo and then the cats food, amazing its not the food first but anyway.... If you find any ways, please do let us know, i know i would be keen to try it too

Hmm think i might give this 'staffy ball' a try.....

Anyone know anywhere in Victoria that has horse toys for sale? i am in the western suburbs but as no one really keeps horses around here i cant find any toys and our Amstaffs are eating everything we give them so we want to try horse toys. any other ideas would be great too
