Godspeed young man.

it is a gumtree rule.

Borzoi but requires grooming, long haired Chihuahua but requires grooming, Bull Terrier but would be too nervous about being stolen.

I think it's always been $500.

Nothing wrong with either brand that you are feeding. I've fed both to my dogs and pups over the years.

I very much agree with Perse. Warrior is coming up to 13, a good age for a Greyhound. He is very wobbly in the back end with little to no muscle tone. But he can still jump up on my bed. Which is a little bit my line in the sand. If he starts to become incontinent then he will be off to the bridge.

do you have a problem with your pup?

My belief as well

How about the owners take responsibility for their dogs actions. Like our poster in general.

excellent update!

yes except when they offer to pay vet bills and apologise is offered more then once and then a dangerous dog goes under the radar. If I hadn't had encouraged an owner to report, because I had prior knowledge of a serious dog attack and a near miss, then the dangerous dog would still be getting away with things. Problem is the owner of the attacked dog doesn't know if this is the first time or the 10th the dangerous dog has done this. I always encourage people to report

oh so true @Deeds these type of owners and dogs are the reason I carry a riding crop with me and I have used it.

no accident when it happens twice, just a careless owner. Hope the fine is increased.

Just own the incident and fix the fence. You want a dog, then grow up.

Pup safe your garden and leave her there. Make a digging pit with a shell pool (Bunnings) and good quality sand. A huge marrow bone, shade, shelter and water.

Non obedient shivering? You have to kidding don't you? The dog is terrified and you are saying he is non obedient. For GOD's sake give him a safe place to go to and think about getting him some meds for these times. This is not a behavioural problem. OMG!!

I feed chicken necks and have done so for years. My Greyhound pups are started on them around 5 weeks old so a 4 month old Sheltie should be fine. You could always feed a whole carcass if you are nervous or a wing. I've never had a problem with "off" necks and I get them from a pet food store.

what tdierikx said. I'd be arguing about the fees. Let them fine the previous owner for not doing the right thing

needs a vet check firstly.

great question! I've never thought about it. Rough and smooth coats. I hope someone can answer. Jack Russells I think also have a rough coat and a smooth and can also get a broken coat which is partly both.

I've never used piddle pads and the last 20 years used a crate for toilet training. I don't know if shelties have a mouse bladder but it seems he has not learnt to hold on for any length of time. It's good he is going either outside or on the pads but time for a more traditional toilet training I think. Remove the pads, reduce the size of the pen and shut the door. Your pup is 3/4 there, just needs a little push to not wee at the drop of a hat. Good luck!

yes they are aren't they. I do love a properly maintained full coated dog. I admit though I'd never have a coated dog, love to look, not to do the work.

There was the police dog that got lost as well.

Border Collies have 3 fatal issues I believe that need to be tested for. Do Jack Russel's have luxating patellas? I do think people should be encouraged to breed to older studs/semen. If a stud dog gets to 10 or 12 with no issues then that's a healthy dog IMO. Of course health tested for whatever is in the breed. Even bitches. In Greyhounds there is a lot of girls bred 8 years and up. Maidens as well.

I wish giving just a parvo shot was still available. 40 years ago you'd give a C3 one year and a parvo booster the next year. I don't know why that ever fell out of favour.
