  1. I didn't think much of it either! Thought I would give it a go as I loved the Mars coat king that I used on my long coated dog and thought maybe this would be the short haired dog equivalent. Nope it sucks.
  2. Kirty you made me lol. I don't like strange humans in my yard either, they scare me so I like to dispatch them the same way. Humans, especially some are real pests.
  3. I have a tiny dog who does used to do this (especially when she knows I want to grab her to wipe her face), I would get down low sometimes lying on the ground and encourage her over to me with treats and praise and then stand up with her in my arms. It is soooo important with tiny dogs to be able to pick them up when needed, especially out and about, my girl likes using her own legs but sometimes I have to pick her up in crowds or when people think its ok to let their large off lead dog barrel over to my little on lead dog where she ends up getting stood on.
  4. I just bought a the Bissell spot clean machine on the weekend, it is awesome for pet messes.
  5. This would have been great when my girl was a tiny 10wk old puppy! She was able to jump over the compost panels we bought to contain her and I was by myself needing to get a baby gate for her (at the end of my tether with a crazy hyper peeing everywhere puppy. It was the middle of summer (couldn't lock her in the bathroom as it is windowless a stinking hot), took her to bunnings with me, a 700gm puppy under my arm and was refused entry, I was almost in tears as I was so desperate for that baby gate for her and knew where they were and told the lady I was just going to get it and come straight out, but no she wouldn't budge.
  6. I just read a story saying the owner has been wanted by police for over 4yrs for assault and stalking charges by Victorian police. Sounds like the good to come of it will be he will have a warm bed in jail.
  7. The only one I will use is Tropiclean, I have used urine off before and wasn't impressed while this one is fantastic.
  8. Just wondering with the laws but what if like my griff or say a pug they have no muzzle to put a muzzle on?
  9. He is such a cute little man! You definitely have good taste in breeds ???? Lol.
  10. Griffon Bruxellois- I love it but not all people would but their need to be with you, sit on you, must be touching you type of thing. They also like sitting on the top of the couch like a cat.
  11. I actually put it on my phone after seeing this thread lol. Its a good concept and its cute seeing some of the names of peoples pooches. I think it is excellent way especially for little dogs to get play mates as you can be very selective.
  12. Why are the café owners silly? Its purely the dogs owners fault, they have even attacked before and they are still roaming. I don't get the blame the victim mentality, is it the homeowners fault if you get robbed because you didn't have big enough locks on your doors? It would be the same as blaming a farmer for his sheep being attacked by roaming dogs.
  13. Two full meals a day here, I wouldn't beable to keep the weight on her with only one meal, plus the one meal would have to be huge for her size.
  14. I picked my breed on the basis of them being Velcro dogs, think I would be devastated if she wasn't as I can only have the one dog at the moment. At least you have Bon to share the love lol.
  15. He seems to enjoy putting his foot in it lol. Australia's most loved dog trainer I think not lol.
  16. I would go the full chew as I have heard the medication isn't evenly distributed through the chew.
  17. The dog they think killed Wags was a staffy so totally possible. Sorry I read back at this has been already brought up. Did the necropsy show multiple bites and injury though? I really don't think a dog the same size (size as in height and weight) could do that much damage with a single shake.
  18. Omg he has tried to say the dog was killed in a single bite and shake by a dog of Wags equal size
  19. My first thought also. These breeds and neonatal babies are NOT a good combination without the usual sensible precautions. Yonjuro you've had an almost identical attack by a Husky on a baby in your State. That one was fatal. Read about it here It seems it takes these breeds a while to recognise that mewling critter as a human child. Once they do, they are fine with the usual precautions for any dog. Your group could be a great resource for teaching people about the need to be vigillant during a baby's first months in a house. Rather than taking it as an insult to your breed, LEARN about this and EDUCATE so that people are prepared, not surprised. It is a real and documented issue with your breed. The benchmark book Fatal Dog Attacks, by Karen Delise documents it. Google "husky neonatal baby attack" and read. No shortage of cases outside the UK and they all follow a predictable path... less than 4 month old infant, dog has access unsupervised., I am another one that has noticed huskys to be the breed most connected with these stories. I really don't feel its there is any attack on the breed though in stating this.
  20. I will disagree, bigger is better, too small and they can be choked on, plus the whole point of cleaning through bones is that they have to work on them. I have a 3kg dog that tried to inhale a chicken tip and luckily was able to throw it back up with lots of noise and gasping. I now give her the whole wing for her to work on and I will take away what she can't finish. I also think a wing also isn't that fatty as to cause pancreatitis, it's has lots of skin yes it's not that fatty.
  21. No the pro heart is given subcutaneous as is the main vaccination, the kennel cough is intra nasal. All separate syringes.
  22. I know a couple of vets that will not use it on their dogs and will not recommend it to clients unless they have trouble remembering to dose monthly.
  23. I would go the whole wing if he would eat it as it's a good workout, bigger and less chance of being swolled whole.
  24. Chicken necks and wings are great for small dogs! Always raw as they only splinter when cooked. My little dog gets chicken wings, chicken necks and lamb brisket/flaps bones a few times a week.
