How old is he?

Good one! Very true

The snooza pet pillows like those wash really well, have had a few of them over the years, oh and there Aussie made!

Haha that's awesome Jarvis.

Good question, i need the answer to that one too (picking up at end of month).

What a great idea, i didnt know you could do that!

Aww poor thing, I remember how many times my last girl got bits of bone stuck in throat and would be shaking her head violently, the amount of times I had to stick my hand down her throat....poor thing Hope daisy is okay now.

Welcome, and yay how exciting! Make sure you share any pictures

Thats cool, where did you get that from?

Yeah i thought so too MG, she was a little bit reluctant because they havent had any needles yet, i was going to try and go this weekend but she said atleast they would be a little bit older next week. I think she would prefer if i could come after they had there 6 week injection but there 4hrs away from where i live. Wish it was the 25th November cause i would have her by now.

I was starting to think the same thing, my last dog lived till 14, when we brought her appart from making sured she had papers we didnt really know anything (From being on this site obviously there is alot more to it). She was very healthy all her life, but very unfortuantly ended up with cancer, she never had any hip or eye problems etc... Do you wonder if breeders ever get/or ask for information on litters once the dogs get old, if they have had cancer or other illnesses and if that did run in the dogs bloodlines.

Awsome! I get mine weekend of 25th November so one month to go till little black lab terror hehehehe Might be able to go visit next weekend, they'll be 5 weeks. Have you got a name picked out yet Talien? Mines going to be Abbey!

Theres some really great photos, what a good topic!

They dont look to bad, havent seen those before. Has anyone tried the Martingale collar?

Very cute, he's at his 'all legs' stage hehe I found out the other day new pup weekend after 23rd November. Im looking at toys, collars and all things puppy

Wilbur seems happy with his toys Su, looks like he's developed a nice wave down his back.

I did with my first dog - the club I went to at the time was very anti food reward and big on physical correction. It worked......sorta. With my second dog (rescue) I did for a while more because she would freakout and bolt and at least she couldn't get her head out of it. Now I use a limited slip collar and positive re-enforcement. I think its a much better system and ever won't use a choker on any of my dogs again. I think there is still a place for them - mine is holding the garage door shut Whats a slip collar?

Wow that site is cheap! Hey Su i love that polly pig its awsome, has it faired well with Wilbur? Wilbur belts Polly around; if she were his wife he'd be arrested for assault & battery/domestic violence The only part that has suffered is the nylon tail which he's chewed off. The pig itself is in one piece with no holes - she's one of his out side toys and gets dragged through the stones, grass & concrete and he chews the heck out of her. When we're inside and we hear growling and barking from outside we always know that Polly is getting a beating He grabs her by the ears and then throws her around. They have a few inner layers of suitcase material and then the patterned outer fabric. They aren't at all like softies; they're quite hard. I really like Tuffies. Haha, im hoping this new girl likes toys, Sheba only liked garden pots and things. I brought her toys she burried them, im still finding ones in the garden i brought her when she was 5!

Does anyone still use the choker chains for walking? My last girl had one from day 1 right up until year 14 (even though she didnt need controling then but she still preferred it)

Wow that site is cheap! Hey Su i love that polly pig its awsome, has it faired well with Wilbur?

Nah it will come quick i have to finish many units in Horticulture Cert III at Tafe and dont have the time (or motivation) Names..... yes im thinking Abbey
