Remarkabull

I do :) I own 3 (am registered with the Australasian Bosdog Society) and they have amazing temperaments. I have not met any that have been aggressive (dog or people) and we have sometimes had 5 plus entire males at our get together. As with any breed it's good to check out the temperaments of the parents and do some research into the breed but I can honestly say that they are amazing.

Over the last few months I've tried a few different foods as one of my dogs is particularly fussy and hard to keep weight on. We were feeding raw only but he started to walk away from meals and lose weight so I tried a small bag of RC and they all ate it with gusto but I have since purchased a bag of BH because I liked the ingredients better. 4 of my dogs eat it and Arnold eventually eats most of it only out of desperation and starvation but I have also noticed one of my girls is losing weight and her coat is looking dry so I think I'll be going back to RC once this bag is gone.

I love Rottweilers but don't like Dobes. They are not as versatile or robust. And are more aloof. Same, Dobermans just don't seem like my type of dog I'm the opposite. I love Dobes but have never liked Rotties. I'm not sure why and I can appreciate a nice looking Rotty but I've never wanted to own one nor met one I've really liked.

Probably will never own one as they don't suit our lifestyle but I love working Kelpies but not keen on BC's at all. I love Bulldogs and Bull Terriers but not keen on most other bull breeds.

Another vote for ZiwiPeak here. I have bulldogs and mostly feed raw but twice a week they get ZiwiPeak and the LOVE it and do well on it. It is very expensive though :)

I have 4 but that will increase to 5 in 5 weeks time. I've had 5 before and it was a bit crazy at times due to having to keep 2 of them apart but the dogs I have now are much easier to manage. This will be our last one for a while though and we will probably only have 2 or 3 in the future.

I have Bosdogs (Aussie bulldogs) and am registered with ABS and it is written in our standard that blue (and any variation of) and tri or black and tan are not allowed colors. I have noticed that there seems to be a huge increase in some of the other Aussie Bulldog groups (in no way affiliated with ABS) of blue dogs. A few people have imported blue BB and are using them in their breeding programs and charging huge amounts of money for the pups. Reminds me of what happened with SBT

We have one here that we do that for too. I recently had a few friends over and they noticed the KY sitting on a bench outside and asked what it was doing there. I don't think most of them would consider doing it if they had dogs but one seemed to not find it too repulsive ;) I also clean between my female bulldogs toes, especially the back ones as they get a dirty, waxy buildup.

I've had multiple boys inside over the years, both desexed and entire and never had any issues. My desexed fluffy will cock his leg on dog toys on the lawn and sometimes on the dog bed near the back door but my entire male is fine.

A few years ago we were leaving for a day out and husband ran inside to get something, returned to car and we left. Approx 8 hours later we returned to find one of the dogs sitting at the front door, waiting for us to return. We did have a front fence but he was tiny and could have easily fit through the gaps. Husband got a talking to about checking that no dogs slipped out of the door in the future.

This is why I feed this too. My dogs don't have any issues with grains and can and do eat all kinds of meat but they don't tolerate anything with preservatives in it. The only 'dry' food they can eat without any reaction is ZiwiPeak and it's way too expensive to give them every day.

I have 2 boys and 2 girls. Girls are very affectionate but only when they feel like it. They are more I dependant too. The boys are complete sooky la la's and follow me everywhere.

I've just gone back to feeding VAN but I've fed it in the past and all of my dogs do well on it. It's easier and cheaper for me with 4 dogs than making my own.

It's going around Darwin too atm. I don't vaccinate against it and only one of my 4 dogs has it. His brother (doesn't live with us but they do have playdates) also has it. He has been coughing for 2 days and just today started bringing up phlegm. He is still eating and playing and other than not being happy about the coughing up he seems bright enough.

I have recently changed from iPad to Samsung tablet and I'm not sure how to fly it properly. My hubby will be home in a couple of weeks and I'll share some pics when he shows me how :)

Just a quick update. I went for a visit today and mum and pups are doing well. She has enough milk to feed 20 pups! All pups are around the same size and very active. Owner is very relieved that it's over and pups are here safely :)

I'm not convinced that the cesarean was necessary but it's done now. Bitch has happily accepted pups after the initial surprise of waking up to them and is being a good, protective mum. All pups are feeding well too :)

OK, update! 8 pups born, 1 passed away. Mum and pups doing well and can go home tonight :)

Yes, she sent me a msg asking what I thought and I said no to the desexing. They told her to go home too and it's been bloody hours and she's heard nothing. I suspect that despite this being declared an 'emergency' they didn't take her straight into surgery. If she were mine I'd have told them to get stuffed and parked myself in the waiting room

Emergency cesarean is being done. She took her to vet and they said pups were 'stressed' and needed to be done ASAP. I don't know any more at this stage other than vet called to ask if she wanted the bitch speyed during the surgery. Owner is feeling very down about useless vets up here and is extremely worried about her dog.

Bitch is in labour as I type. Heavy panting but no straining yet. Will let you know the outcome :)

I'll pass it on. I've been trying to get her to stop stressing about it so much and I'm not sure why she is so worried about this dog/litter.

It is this dogs first litter so nothing prior to go on. She is a fairly big bitch and isn't built like a BB (Bosdogs shouldn't look just like BB). I'll ask her about the bitches dam and if she has had a c - section.

She has been taking temp. So far no changes. She called a few vets today about maybe getting an ultrasound but most don't have the equipment and others weren't that keen to do it. The dog doesn't appear to be distressed or anything. When I saw her yesterday she was sad and uncomfortable (to be expected at this stage) but not anything that concerned me. I think it's a bit of a case of an overly worried owner but I said I'd ask for others thoughts and opinions. She is worrying herself so much over this pregnancy and I just want to try and reassure her a bit.

A friend and fellow Bosdogs breeder has a Bitch who is currently at day 62 of her pregnancy and although Bitch seems fine her owner is starting to stress a little so I'm wanting breeders opinions on what to do from this point. Bitch was x rayed a few weeks ago and vet said only 3 pups in there. Bitch is huge (belly almost touching ground) and has gained around 6 kg during pregnancy. Normal vet has gone away and vet she saw a few days ago couldn't even find pups when examining Bitch (owner located them for vet who then found heartbeats). I went and saw her yesterday and although Bitch looks miserable she seemed fine and I could see and feel pups moving. Personally, I think she should wait another day or 2 before stressing about it but I'm not experienced so was wanting others opinions. Keep in mind that vets up here are not great and most have next to no experience with reproduction/breeding. I guess what I'm asking is how long would you let it go before opting for a c - section or some kind of interference?
