Nahla + Teddy's Mum

That is the cutest video ever!! We say "bedtime puppies" and they bolt to our room jump on the bed and settle down within seconds and go all sleepy and cuddly! It's a struggle to get them off the bed everyday! Gotta love our fur kids!

We had 2 men jump our fence trying to run away from police and they found themselves in our pool with our Goldie and our friends GSD we were dog sitting doing laps around it so they couldnet get out. I was asleep and woke up in my room with police lights flashing everywhere and the dogs going nuts! I bolted to my parents room ( I was about 14 ) and ran into about every piece of furniture on the way and wouldnt leave there room till the morning! Dad had to call the dogs away and get them inside so the police could get 2 very scared and wet men out of our pool! Our girl Goldie was very very protective of us from that night on until she passed. Makes a great story sitting around the bbq every summer! Lucky we can laugh about it because no-one got hurt and nothing was damaged!

My puppies love pigs ears but they only get them when someone is home to supervise because of all the horror stories I've heard, I dont want to take any chances! Kongs are much safer and you can put different tasty treats in them and mine take a couple of hours to get through it all. It's so hard leaving them at first but it will get easier for you and puppy, try rotating toys every couple of days so he doesnt get too bored with the same ones. Nahla wasn't on her own for very long until we got Ted so the bordom and crying issue was solved right away! Enjoy your new puppy

Oh ok well thats good to know! Thanks I'll crumble up the shell next time and see how it goes!

Well my Mum came home the other week to find a full raw egg in her living room with a tooth size chip out the top and her dog sucked the egg out and didnt eat the shell! Thats why I was curious when Sheena said to give them the shell too!

They are spaniel x poodles...realy the whole shell also? Wont that be sharp in their mouth going down? I'll start giving them 2 a week and they will love me even more!!

Hi Everyone, Just wondering how often I can feed my 2 dogs, 9 and 10.5 months old raw eggs? I gave them I each on top of their kibble last night and about a week ago and they absolutely loved it! They ate everything in their bowl which they hardly ever do and I havent noticed a change in health so far so they seem to agree with them. Is 2-3 times a week too much? Thanks in advance

My two have a race as to who can finish their's the fastest! But they wont come back inside until they have both finished and until they have both had a drink! Sweet realy They also eat their biscuits in order of shapes, first the bones, then the triangles etc! I'm very OCD about my food and it looks like I have passed it on

My 2 are going through this now...Nahla at almost 9 months has grown up a lot in the last couple of weeks and seems to be more of a "dog" than a "puppy" now. We have noticed some personality traits change and she is becoming more relaxed and chilled out and not as hyper as she was. She is becoming better on the lead and always sits when asked first time, comes when called etc. Teddy at 7.5 months is the complete opposite! I had to check that he still had ears the other day as nothing was registering with him. He would not sit, not come, not heal on the lead and wouldnt follow us around like he always had. He started growling at Nahla and jumping on her when she was sleeping to get a reaction from her so I've had to work hard with him latley. I know this is just a phase and all dogs go through it differently but it will pass soon and I just have to stay firm and I will ahve great dogs on the other side! Good luck your not alone!!

So sorry to hear about the situation you have found yourself in :D If this ever happened to me I would keep both dogs. I could not live without them now so the thought of them being taken away from me is devastating to say the least. I, like you do EVERYTHING for them but there is not doubt in my mind that my OH loves them to death just as much as me. I also wouldnt seperate them because this happened to a friend of mine and her dog was never the same. Not saying it would happen to you but the dogs personality changed and she was what you would call "depressed" and just has never bounced back to her old self. But then again I've had another friend who seperated his dogs and he got another so the dog wasnt without a buddy and the dog was perfectly happy. Maybe you could take both dogs and your ex could come visit them after work/on weekends? He may find the pressure of taking care of 2 dogs full time to be a bit much to handle if he hasnt contributed a lot in the past? I went away for 4 days with work and OH was sooo glad to have me back just to take care of the dogs!! He realises its not as easy as it sounds! I hope everything works out for the best for you and your doggies!

I love the one with the Jack Russell saying "Please??" I know! There's such cute stuff for doggies on ebay! I've gotten jackets, food bowls, id tags, treats and toys! I always look for free shipping too!!

Just did an ebay search! http://shop.ebay.com.au/?_from=R40&_tr...-All-Categories I got custom made dog bowls with their names on them from ebay and they look so good, everyone comments on them!

I sat next to a lady with a guide dog earlier this year and about half way through the flight I asked if I could give him a little pat and she was so lovely she let me walk him down to the toilets just to stretch his legs! I was very hesitant to even ask because I know of the strick rules but she was so laid back and we had been talking the whole way so far. I helped her get off the plane and gave her doggy Oscar a treat! highlight of my trip!

Is this a different dog to your two Cocker x Poodles? Nope same dog just cut out the cross to eliminate situations like these! To me a dog is a dog I couldnt care less what it is or isnt crossed with but a lot of people do not share that same view. I dont comment on discussions on this forum very oftern because everyone is so negative and nasty and it reminds me of an all girls school playground at lunch time. The reason I posted in this thread is to just let people know it is a nickname for the cross breed and most people know that. When people do ask me if my dogs are pure breed I tell them of course not their mother is a cocker and father a poodle and somewhere along the line a owner got fed up saying all that and nicknamed them Spoodles! From now on I will say other half insted of OH and original poster insted of OP and in my honest opinion insted of IMHO - just may take me a little longer but all well will avoid all this I guess!

Well one of the rules on this forum is that you call the dog by their name ie Poodle x Spaniel or Poodle cross ''This site was created for pure bred dog discussion The primary purpose of this forum is to promote and discuss pure bred dogs (as recognised by the ANKC) so we ask you respect our aim when visiting here. If you own a cross breed dog, you are also welcome here, but we ask that you refer to it by it's proper name (eg a pug-x or cavalier-x instead of the designer term 'pugalier'). Please do not start threads asking what breeds people think make up your cross-bred dog or to express your outrage at the latest designer dog you saw. We prefer to concentrate our discussion on the pure bred dog (ANKC recognised). '' So does that mean the original poster broke the forum rules too? "Please do not start threads asking what breeds people think make up your cross-bred dog " It was not her dog but she was still asking what breeds make this dog.
