Best wishes for Murphy! I accidently stood on a Carpet Python the other night letting the pups out to the loo in the dark, got a nice bite for my trouble too :laugh: I felt awful, he didn't seem hurt though, more interested in slithering away. I am always on the look out for Brown snakes our way, i am paranoid about them.

+1 Sad and cringe worthy vid for the most part.

Lots of little white fluffies and little dogs have had a crack at mine Little fluffies are the only ones who are silly enough to try and take on my GSDs :laugh: Unfortunately another bad rap for Pits, if the house was being raided..... again an example of how this breed draws some bloody idiot ppl that ruin the breed for the rest who are responsible. I hope this special boy makes a quick physical and emotional recovery.

I didn't say you can't get good results, i just said i personally like having them from a tiny pup hence why i personally wouldn't pay 1500 for said dog. I think the OP will mostly get ppl saying it is a good price and thats fine, it all depends on what you want :)

I personally wouldn't pay that much for an 'older' dog, but that is just me. Whilst some see it as blissfully missing the worst of the puppy faze i personally see it as missing out on good quality bonding time :) Good luck with your search :)

I don't have any suggestions Bianca but i hope you are able to find something to help poor miss Molly :)

So sorry for your loss BBL. RIP Morgan

UGH son of a .... Thanks for the heads up

Grey's are used as vet student pts practice at the uni here, so many of them just can't find a home or be rehomed. Overall i don't like the grey racing industry but i am sure there is no denying that there would be a few who would never just send their dogs off to be killed when they no longer race well as PL was saying. Unfortunately thought there are so many who just see these beautiful dogs as $$ and don't give a crap about their welfare at all. That's what really annoys me abt the industry is just the staggering loss of life due to $$. However the same can also be said of the sled dog industry overseas and there are also many other healthy and loving young dogs of all breeds pts in pounds everyday. It would be equally upsetting if it were a pruebred, a grey or a crossbreed. No dog should have to die due to being homeless. Thats why breeders work so hard to find homes which they feel will love the dog forever. They are the lucky ones. RIP greyhound.

Yep has all the makings of a pyschopath. I think it would take a hell of a lot of work to rehab him, and even then. Sorry but i have no shame in saying either lock him up forever or put a bullet in him. Don't need people like him in society.

Cobbadog is about the silliest name for a breed. But I recall recently in the canine gazette that there would be no ANKC registration of new breeds made up of 2 different breeds with a mixed breed name and no specific purpose. Which I took to mean designer dogs like the Labradoodle. Is that why the change to Cobbadog? I have spoken to Labradoodle owners who are fully of the idea that shortly the ANKC will have no choice but to make them a registered breed, as they are so many generations along. If that ever happens the ANKC will just become a laughing stock

Just bloody stupid! There is a dog two doors down who is aways out. Charges down its driveway and tries to bite my dogs heels and tries to bite me when i shoo it away. I left a note and nothing. Called council and oh no we have to see it out to take action I said what if this dog tries to bite my dogs face as it often does and my dog tries to retaliate? there is only so much any animal can take. Oh well then my dog is the problem apparently! Don't need any more laws that give them even more power to punish ppl in the right and let irresponsible ppl away with murder.

Just beautiful!

Why not send these words to the paper, as a follow-up comment to their article? It is good comment. Souff This sort of thing happens here too and is what worries me about the council having even more power when they cannot even make sense of their current laws. I agree with Souff, send this in to the paper and their review!

I use both Advantix and the Preventic collar at the same time (recommended by vets here) In the bush you can never be too careful, little buggers are everywhere!

I would definately be getting the third done. Parvo has been around our area in recent years again too. My nearly 6mnth girl had the three shots done. It seem standard procedure here to do 3 :)

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your girl Pockets

Do you mean run the stand or bring your dog to the stand ect? For both i would think you would have to be a member of your breed's club and yes i assume they won't want unpapered dogs rep'ing a breed. Happy to be corrected if i am wrong.

No, but it's a chance to engage with the public and dispel some myths about their breeds. I think you missed the point PL. I agree Alkhe, even though atm they might be protected there is nothing set in stone for the future, things can be changed if the public push hard enough Its about educating the public and changing their perception.

Just read the document. Scary stuff. I am going to write and send in my replies. Council's should definately NOT have more power to abuse when they are already incompetent.

So very sorry for your loss Merna. Rest easy Rocky
