Chequeredblackdog

Tee hee! I love this one. Its a cool idea. :D I've seen it though so I won't participate!

Noooooooo! control unleashed and another couple of books I wanted aren't on free shipping any more! Gah! I shouldn't have procrastinated! Postage for one book is $38!! So a $25 book turns into a $63 book Anyone know where I can get it cheaper?

There is a beautiful dark gold bitch at the dog training I go to, she is very pretty. I like the gold or darker colours in GRS and Labs, Most of the ones I see are very pale, almost verging on white.

Thanks for that Nekhbet, I didn't think about the 4800 making him MORE active. He isn't fed solely 4800 though, and on the 'raw days' I haven't noticed a difference in his activity levels. In regards to being picky, he isn't 'picky' as such, but only eats what he feels he needs. Other stuff is generally much more interesting than food! I think I could give him the choice of a leg of roast lamb and a ball and he would choose the ball every time!

OH MOI GAAAWD! She is BEAUTIFUL! I love the crazy eyes in pictures 2 and 4...... Wait no, I think I love all of them!

On Clean Run's Facebook page: "We are not planning to do a site wide free shipping offer. We did, however, just put a number of new products on the free shipping page." Wahhhh! Not fair most of the stuff I want ISN'T on free shipping! I think we need to start a petition for a free shipping offer, or at least reduced postage rates!

Thanks guys, yes we have started working on body awareness exercises. I have the "building the canine athlete" DVD, a couple of books and quite a few websites bookmarked :D I want to do it right so I can hopefully minimise any potential injuries for him (and me! I'm much less coordinated/ fit than he is!) Jumbaar, we are doing flyball in Bathurst, I can't for the live of me remember the name of the club! >.< I do try to give him a good range of varying exercise. Onleash and off, we have some good hills around so do a fair bit of hill work. Unfortunately I am no where near a beach, im in Orange. though I taking him swimming in the creek and dam. (Well he swims, I don't!) he is a very good swimmer and will happily swim out after a ball. Rebanne, thank you, I didn't know that, I haven't taken a good look at the packaging when I've seen it.

Reggie and I are just starting to get into some agility, and we are starting a 'beginners flyball course next week. :D I would like to help him tone/ bulk up and increase his fitness so he will be better able to cope with the stressors of more/ harder work. Which will likely continue to increase as we get more into it (if he enjoys it) He isn't the biggest eater and keeping condition on him is hard enough at present. So I'm wondering which supplement would be best? More info: Reggie is a 16(ish) month old Kelpie who is very tall, lean and leggy. He is fed a combination of Royal Canin 4800 and raw. he also gets fish oil and other extras, and is currently on K9 show stopper. He gets walked 5 days a week, an off leash run at the very least twice a week, we also do training most days at home and go to obedience/ agility once or twice a week as well. Any suggestions?

Lol! That's gorgeous!

I get mine from Lenards too, but I pay $11 for five kilos. I'm still trying to figure out if this is a good deal, though yours sounds WAY better!

Great photos! I do believe that you can never have too much photos of dogs having fun. And frenchie fun is even better. They all look like such characters :laugh: .......... I think I want one! :D Though it does help if the are beautiful photos like yours!

Does anyone know if the fur products I.e. the raccoon tug will get through customs?

I LOVE free shipping! :D :D :D :D I wish it was free shipping ALL the time........ Actually maybe not, I think I would be perpetually broke! My strategy : add everything I like the look of, then (attempt to) cull heavily! .....and the fun begins

Bahahaha! That would be classic. I think we need photographic evidence though! *winky face.

Lol! Unforunately the ones he has caught so far are only half grown. if I ask for the bunny he will happily hand it over! ( though I think he is hoping that ill throw it for him )

The past couple of days Reggie has been catching (and if not stopped, eating) bunnies I'm not quite sure where he is flushing them from, as all four dogs are confined to the house paddock. I have taken them, well the remains of the rabbits, off him but I know he has eaten most of them. Should I worm him? Stop him catching them? They are a pest after all.....

Yay! Plant names :D I think you have picked very well! :D :laugh: Looking forward to more piccies!

Nawww! That rug is AWESOME! I can imagine all the horsies running around in matching rugs :D :laugh:

Go Maybe! She is looking good! :D

Awwww! Uncle Hoover! :D

Like already mentioned, try getting in contact with your local poultry club. You may get lucky and find one of their members have what you are looking for. If not they should be able to put you in contact/ direct you to someone how does. If you are after a rare breed try contacting a club that specialises in rare breeds, the rare breeds trust does poultry and I know we have a local branch. If you know what breed you are looking for get in contact with their breed club. (most breeds have at least one) if it's a very rare breed you are after you may have to look out of area to obtain any. My father and I breed Plymouth Rocks in large white, black and dark barred, and bantam dark barred and silver pencilled. We've had silkies, Pekins and dorkings, and have been heavily involved with our local poultry club, rare breeds club and a few breed specific clubs. So if you have any questions etc. feel free to drop me a line.

Squee! They are all soooo cute! I second the needing names!

Nawww! That's beautiful. It's amazing the instincts they are born with.

Nawwww! He looks so different! Like a grown up horse! :D

She is lovely! Such a pretty, gentle face :) I'm sure she will have no problems finding a family
