I would have thought that made them smart not timid :rolleyes:

I think people have responded very moderately to what was a rather inflammatory question. If you posted that question into some of the OFC sighthound groups you'd be eaten alive. it was such a stupid statement which has been borne out by the fact that the majority of dogs in the sample were one breed and could only have been adopted racebred greys, which is hardly a similar background to other breeds.

gee talk about a generalisation :rolleyes:

numbers: Grp 1 1 Grp 2 60 Grp 3 95 Grp 4 186 Grp 5 222 Grp 6 279 Grp 7 323 ends with 361

I usually cut out the photo's I reply to as it can slow things down for some users but the grin on CJ's face in this one just has to be repeated. :D

congratulations!

just got mine out of the mailbox Group starts with Grp 1 1 Grp 2A 167 Grp 2B 181 Grp 3 262 Grp 4 393 Grp 5 484 Grp 6 609 Grp 7 727 and ends with 836

everything crossed for Earl to pull through this.

I suggest you find another breed, all your posts are very negative, the dogs don't need you bad mouthing them everywhere.

In Victoria, greyhounds are not allowed off lead, not even off leash dog areas. Only places they are allowed off lead is private property. People need to know their local laws.

My daughter lives in a town house with her 8 yo grey and they all manage very well. Quite a few live in apartments, they do very well. I wouldn't sell a puppy to someone living in an apartment but the older dogs are fine. I take mine to the local slipping track or dog grounds for a run, or walk them around the streets for exercise. They certainly don't go nuts if they haven't been out for a few days but they do enjoy an outing.

what sort of clips Liath? I want to make one to take to shows as well but I need to overlap a couple of panels for each side which makes it hard to make a roof. Anyone put shadecloth or similar on as a roof? I was thinking of also putting a floor in out of shadecloth so making it harder for a dog leaning on the panels to move it out of shape, but not sure how to join it seeing as one panel will be the gate.

so prolife that the dog is allowed to run loose while in season. It is only be good luck that the dog is alive and well. I asked before and I'll ask again. If she has to be tied outside on a chain because of the small amount of mess made whilst in season just where is this poor bitch going to whelp and raise her puppies? Religion is not an excuse to neglect your duty of care.

sounds like my place

tell the judge why she is pink

so sorry to read this. RIP Grotty Rotty, thanks to your Mum for sharing a little bit of you with all of us

not good enough

most likely not but he has a point, why should breeders be the only ones required to health test and be at risk of being prosecuted if they sell a pup that ends up with a health problem?

So you not only allow your dog to piss on people you allow him to bother people who are scared of dogs. Great, really responsible dog ownership that us.

wow 5 already, where did that go? :birthday:

:banghead: :banghead:

Then why bother asking for opinions in the first place? your dog is obnoxious and so are you allowing him to behave in such a way as to pee on other people, lean on them, chase them around begging for food etc. I think you like being the only one the dog will listen to and are proud of that fact. If your partner is living with you and the dog, the dog should be obeying him just about as much as you. Load of codswallop to say he's a one person dog, you are using that as an excuse to keep the power of controlling a barely under controlled dog. The dog sounds incredibily stressed to the max and a time bomb just waiting to go off.

you should have come over and said hello, we could have talked hounds and compared notes on our beautiful babies!

Congratulations

I wormed my greyhound bitch just before I judged she was due to come into season, then wormed her again with the puppies first time. I did give her calcium between each pup but still needed a c-section after pup 3. As she was due for her heartworm meds 2 weeks before she was due I just waited till the day after she whelped, plus it was the middle of winter so was pretty confident there were no mozzie's around. with her first litter is was mid summer so she got her heartworm meds then but I only use a product that does just heartworm, nothing else.
