You can add things with mine. I have an Asko, best money I ever spent :)

Because one parent is purebred English staffy, and the other parent is purebred amstaffs.... Just like "purebread Maltese shitzoo's"

These do get filled with water..... And yes they do make a mess when they're ripped open They take a lot of water too so they're really heavy

What a well behaved dog! There is no way mine would hang around for no reason after I swabbed them like that!

This Dogs should not be in the front yard, and the front should not be padlocked or emergency personnel can't gain access. Not only that but it delays your ability to get out of the property in an emergency like a fire

I'd say more smithfield cattle dog, bit of hound, maybe even bull terrier with that nose

Does anyone have the durapet slow feeder? Just wondering how much kibble you can fit in a small and medium...my Retriever inhales her food and she needs a smaller size slow feeder than you would normally expect because if she can get her snout in there the food is still inhaled, but a smaller size means she needs to use her tongue a bit more and it slows her She basically eats 1 cup of tiny kibble twice a day, would this fit in a small?

Awww how cute is she?!!! Although slightly disappointed you changed that picture in your siggy of Renae with the candycane in her mouth....I loved looking at that photo it was so cute!

Caz I haven't posted yet, I haven't been able to... Every time I start reading I end up in tears I couldn't imagine my beautiful Goldie suffering like that But I'm so glad to read that buddy will be getting some justice, well done

Has anyone here used both? they both seem to have their pro's and cons, I prefer the lower attachment on the walkydog but I'd also prefer to have the dog a bit further ahead than the back wheel

Mature physically or mentally?

Have you actually played crate games with him or just shut him in there? Crate games will increase the value for the crate so they actually enjoy time in there. Susan Garrett's DVD is good at explaining it. My Kelpie boy will not settle in the house, prolws around seeking attention or seeking interaction with all the other dogs who are doing the right thing and staying settled on their beds. I never mat trained him so he wanders off if he is just sent to a bed. Ask him to get in his crate though and he dives in and promptly lies down and is asleep inside 2 minutes. Its his little cave. I spent a long time on crate games so he does know its his space to relax in. I was doing crate work with him when we first got him and he would bound in as soon as I told him 'in your box' but he still wouldn't relax in there during the day, if I didn't let him out he would tear at the covers or bark or pull on the gate with his paws...yet he would sleep in the crate every night (and still does)

I'll be honest and say at the moment he only gets a long walk once a week, and a long game of fetch every day in the yard (decent sized yard), and when I have a day off I do a bit of training like teaching him to sit/drop from a distance. I don't feel as though this is enough for him but I simply don't have the time to do what I really want to at the moment (agility) I can't even commit to any classes because I'm a shift worker and my hours are so erratic, I'm the only money earner at the moment and I study....as much as OH loves the dogs he unfortunately has no idea nor any interest in training them I do sometimes wonder if he would be better rehomed, but I can't see OH agreeing to it, we rescued him from the RSPCA when he was about 8 months so his past is completely unknown...I'm probably stupid for even thinking about rehoming him because he has come a long way since we first got him a little over a year ago, he used to get horribly car sick but we now have him riding in the car with no problems, we're currently transitioning him out of riding in the crate

Corvus this sounds exactly like Jackson, I can tell him to lay down till I'm blue in the face, but he is just constantly switched on and wound up, I need to teach him how to relax his mind I've tried treat toys, they only stimulate him more, massage probably wouldn't be successful either because touch also stimulates him

Ill have a read of that link later when I'm on the computer, we've tried teaching him to stay on a mat but he just sits there all wound up ready to pounce as soon as we release him, crating, well he is happy to relax in a crate at night to sleep, but good luck getting him in during the day or getting him to stay in past dawn, he just WON'T settle, we've lost several covers thinking if we make it dark in there he will relax, they get destroyed in minutes Another thing we've noticed is if he is sitting with my partner he will eventually relax and lay with him asleep, but with me he never does, he is constantly licky and squirmy and won't chill out

Has anyone for secrets for teaching a dog to relax? Our cattle dog cross is constantly alert, when we bring the dogs inside he just paces around the house sniffing and licking it is really annoying for us because he just won't relax! We have beds inside for the dogs, they're allowed in the couch, the girls will either lay with us or on their beds but he just won't (unless he's been in for a long time and we haven't moved, but if we get up we're back to square 1 with him

Photos! How did she go with the litter? Better than last time?

Yes. Yes they are. You've heard of purebred Maltese shit zoos yes?

No, she was a little unusual though- got pretty worked up about it. I did think her glass comment was a bit OTT. I saw a few people having a chuckle. :) She said it was a known fact and her mother heard it many years ago on the radio. My guys seem to love them & they are great for their dinner occasionally. I will keep an eye out to look for danger signs. probably spewed out by that knob Alan Jones :laugh: Probably also has a soft drink bottle filled with water on her front lawn to stop dogs peeing there

Did she say why they're supposed to be so dangerous?

My mum has Cavs that are left alone daily while they're at work, it hasn't had any negative effect on them.....they just LOVE it when people come home to see them!!! While nobody is home, these guys mostly sleep all day (just like most dogs)

Oh no! Why does this always happen to the best people? Give her my best Ams

She could be registered with the council

I have the most success with curash powder

Grass seed?
