Great photos, Clyde, thanks for posting them. :)

How many boxers have you seen?

The owners of Grommit were on TV tonight According to them, the rottweiler was out (in an exercise yard?) on leash with ..... (his owner?). Her mobile rang, and she answered it, walking off and leaving him. Then another person, thinking the area was vacant, let Grommit out. And she was attacked by the rottweiler.

BC Crazy ..it looks identical because it is a Lazor RX!!

If you give the first vac @ 7 weeks, maternal immunity may override it = no protection. (This is not altogether scientific but you get the idea I hope). So, another vac is given at about 12 weeks just in case the first one didn't work. So there is no need for a 3rd injection. Google Dr Jean Dodd for further info.

What a champion. Loved the comment about the dog's teeth! Most other drivers wouldn't have even bothered to avoid the dog!! Glad the dog is ok

It's not his fault, he is only a baby" Spot on. It was YOUR responsibility to control him. You didnt or couldn't do that. The poor pomeranian died a painful and frightening death, the owners are traumatised. Your dog will pay with his life, and I hope you are fined. I hope also, when you get another dog, you get something you can control. About half that size and weight. Oh, a few dog training lessons wouldn't hurt either. You stupid git.

Hi is a North Highland Terrier,

There are plenty of good suburbs near Springwood where you could live. I guess you are renting? Good place to work, as long as you like the challenge of emergency work. My daughter worked there for years.

http://www.occupyforanimals.org/denmark---13-dog-breeds-are-now-banned-400000-dogs-are-in-eminent-danger-of-being-euthanized.html Denmark 13 dog breeds are now banned, 12 more are lined up! January 2013 - Denmark has one of the most strict dog breed bans in the world. 13 breeds were already banned and 12 more are lined up, making it a total of 25 breeds to be banned in the near future. The discussion in Denmark went totally out of hand. While reports surfaced that despite the current ban, the number of dog bites have increased and the ban is therefore not working, politicians and media ignored the facts and called for more breeds to be banned. When vets are reluctant to euthanize healthy animals just because they are part of breed, politicians called upon people to practice "do-it-yourself" euthanasia. This message was corrected, yet it shows the sentiment that is present in the country and the horror dogs and dog owners in Denmark are living in. Shakespeare onces wrote "something is rotten in the state of Denmark". Some hundreds of years later he is proven right. A lot of Danes are against the law and cry out in protest of this outrage. Help the Danes to stop this madness in their country, and let them return to the civilized world once more, states the following petition. Over 400,000 dogs are in eminent danger of being killed! Since the breed ban has been passed, over 400.000 dogs are in danger in Denmark. The Government has introduced reverse burden of proof, so the owners of Dogs that look like these breeds, now have to proof that they are not, which, as we all know, can not be done with DNA. If the families of these dogs can't lift the burden of proof - the dog will be euthanized. Banned breeds In Denmark, it is illegal to own, breed, or import the following breeds and/or cross-breeds of dogs: •Pit Bull Terrier •Tosa Inu (Japanese Fighting Dog) •American Staffordshire Terrier •Fila Brasileiro •Dogo Argentino •American Bulldog •Boerboel (South African Mastiff) •Turkish Kangal •Central Asian Ovtcharka •Caucasian Ovtcharka •South Russian Ovtcharka •Tornjak •Sarplaninac For dogs bought before 17 March 2010 the legislation does not apply, but there are very strict rules to observe. For further information, please contact The Ministry of Justice (Justitsministeriet): •Raadet vedroerende Hold af Saerlige Dyr (The Council for Specific Animals) At: Slotholmsgade 10, 1216 Copenhagen K Tel: 33 92 33 40 Fido died innocent March 15, 2013 He is but one of 1,800 victims since Denmark's breed ban came into effect on July 1, 2010 Fido had run away from home, but had done absolutely nothing to anybody during that little stunt. When the police talked to the owner, the lady did the mistake to tell them that he was part American Stafford. This mistake got Fido killed - totally innocent - given that a cross with American Stafford is illegal under the Dogs Act. Two judges in the Danish Kennel Club has since Fido's stunt, based on photos and a visit to the dog, said that they do not see any sign that the dog is an American Stafford mix. But this is, according to the police, not a satisfactory explanation of Fido's origin. Fido's family had the opportunity to say "good bye" to their beloved dog before they killed him. Fido died March 15, 2013. He had done nothing wrong. He had never hurt anyone. DENMARK: Stop judging and ultimately killing these dogs based on your ignorance and look at the facts! The following text is taken from an article from July 25, 2011, taken from the following website and will explain: Denmark Breed Ban is failing (and why the solution is not more banning) Last week, an organization in Denmark called "Fair Dog" released a report detailing some of the failures of the Breed Ban in Denmark. If you recall, on July 1 of 2010, Denmark banned 13 breds of dogs, including the pit bull terrier, Tosa Inu, American Staffordshire Terrier, Fila Brasileiro, Dogo Argentino, American Bulldog, Boerboel, Kangal, 3 breeds of Ovtcharkas, Tornjak and Sarplanina. In the Fair Dog report, they accumulated dog bite numbers for the 12 months prior to the ban and for the 12 months post the ban -- by accumulating data from veterinary offices, the internet and police numbers. While they acknowledge the data is more of a collection of facts than truly statistical, the numbers do give some insight into the failings of the National Breed Ban. The report focuses on 464 bite episodes from every region of the country, and even breaks down the bites from dog vs human, dog vs dog, dog vs other animal and fatal attack. Based on their data, the number of dog bites on humans went from 67 in the 12 months prior to the ban to 107 in the 12 months after the ban (a 60% increase), dog bites on other dogs from 75 to 117 (a 56% increase), dog bites on other animals 21 to 24 (14% increase) and fatal attacks from 23 to 30 (30% increase)*. Total dog bites went from 186 to 278 -- a 49% increase. *The study doesn't specifically mention what constitutes a 'fatality' -- my assumption is that a fatality includes human and other animal deaths and not just human deaths -- as 30 human fatalities in a country of just over 5 million people would be a ridiculously high number -- as 30 is a high number of fatalities per year in the U.S. where we have a population of over 300 million people. Of the bite incidents, 6.5% of all bites in the 12 months prior to the ban were from the banned breeds, this number dropped to 4.3% in the 12 months after the ban as bites from non-banned breeds increased. The top biting dogs have changed little from before the ban vs after. Post the ban, the top biting dogs are Schaefer (German Shepherds -- who were #1 before the ban), Rottweilers and Bladinghundes (which is the Danish term for mixed breeds). The Danish Government has responded to the poor first year of the ban, not by acknowledging the failure of targeting breeds vs targeting careless owners, but by discussion adding another 12 breeds to the banned list. That too, will fail. The report also details other areas in which breed bans have failed, including detailing information from Spain, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Scotland and the UK. Continuing to You can read the entire report here (much of it is in Danish but Google Translate can help you muddle through it). Some pieces are in English. The problem with dogs is not dogs. It is people. And laws that continue to focus on dogs and not on the owners are destined to fail because they are targeting the wrong end of the leash. This has been true throughout the world -- and study after study proves it. Focusing on responsible dog ownership is the solution, not targeting dogs based on their shape.

Ahh OK, my bad. I always thought the motto for police 'To Protect and Serve' was a description of their duty to the community. I guess several squad cars and a TRU were just there on the day for giggles. Sure explains why police and their families have been relocated for their own protection due to lunatic vigilantes. It's horrible what happened to the dog but I'm not going to condemn police for an incident that not one of us has any inside knowledge about. We had knowledge via the video. The owner was in police custody, he should have been told to order the dog down. And the dog did not bite anyone - yet they still shot him. "Undue force" Lack of care for the public's possessions. And the police are supposedly trained to deal with "crowd" situations or difficult situations, and this particularlar situation looked didn't look too bad. You are entitled to your opinion, Raz. I just don't agree with it. It seems to have become all too easy for the police to shoot people's animals ... this is not the first and will not be the last. It is time the public showed their disdain (as they have done).

Isnt that just lovely. So the people employed to protect the community are now being protected from the community? And their families are as well? Fabulous. Gotta love vigilantes. Shooting dogs which were well behaved, and had owners on hand is hardly "protecting the community" Hopefully the polie and their families are moved somewhere with few people and no dogs. It appears that there was no reason for arresting the dog's owner.

They already know each other and like each other. I would simply put them together - with supervision - to see how they go. The maltese, although smaller, is in a better position, as it is his house. Some discipline may be necessary if the play gets over the top, or develops into growling. When they have spent a few days together you will find that being companionable will overtake running around like maniacs. They are just excited when they see each other, as they obviously like each other, and would like company. I don't think desexing the maltese will make the slightest difference. Just watch them in the beginning, curb any bad behaviour and all will be well. People seem to forget that dogs are pack animals. They love other dogs, and if all are nice natured dogs, nothing too bad will happen. Also if you desex the malt just before the other dog arrives, he will be at a distinct disadvantage. In fact, if I neutered my dog, I wouldn't have a visiting dog until he had adjusted.

Grommit I would keep and treat her - and refund the price. If it was a very serious issue, treatment would continue until my vet advised me otherwise. But your breeder might do other wise. Trouble is we get emotionally involved with a pup with issues, and it is often very expensive to continue with treatment. You should have an answer on your pup's problem very soon - either something quite simple such as a foreign object or worms etc or a very expensive problem. You sound as if you are keen to keep her, which is fine .... difficult to do otherwise when it is your cute little puppy. Whatever you do, good luck and I wish you success. :)

You wont like this - but Send Her Back. From information supplied she is currently not healthy. You may love her, and you will miss her when she goes back. But you can replace her with a healthy pup. You have 10 - 15 years of life ahead with your dog ..... having a sick one is not an option, or enjoyable. Take up the breeder's offer while you can. Let the breeder deal with it. None of the 3 options the vet has suggested will have an excellent outcome, imho.

The government caught - and beat to death many - the dogs in Beijing prior to the Olympics. Absolutely disgusting. It is very difficult not to buy anything made in China - and it wont make any difference to the Chinese gov anyhow, but it makes me feel better.8A$7ARDS

One of mine was mated normally. Due date for whelping, she went into first stage of labour - but no contractions and no appearance of second stage. Off to the repro vet - caesarian - he said she had a stricture over the entrance of the uterus which prevented pups being born. I am taking her back for an examination and will ask him more then.

Some of the links show quite small dogs. Other option is to find a ceramics club (ie, where they make ceramics) and ask them if someone would make a lifesize greyhound for you. I know there is a mould - a very nice one - which they may have.

Dr. Larry Glickman of Purdue seems to have proven that meat is very beneficial to Cavalier hearts - it strengthens the muscles and sinews. Co enzyme Q10 is also very good for hearts. However, it is better to supplement with the active ingredient (the name of which I have forgotten!!). I would not be giving this to puppies, but I would feed them on raw meat.

I have had pups like this over years, and in my experience, all of them lived normal lives, and did not seem to have their lives shortened.

Very clever - and all the dogs look quite happy. If you are a dog I don't suppose it matters if you are green and purple. And they probably love all the attention :)

Councils are calling on breeders - 3 I know of. T he legislation which is mooted restricts keeping of dog numbers to 2 or 4, according to the zoning of the land. For more information, there was a big article in the last Dog News. Dogs Vic seems to have missed the boat again. Haven't seen any action from them.

Have you tried googling "cansema"? and .... http://www.bevanpotter.com/cansinstruct.html TGA has stopped it being sold for human use in Aus.

I would be asking myself why he bit the baby would he be likely to do it again can I keep him and the baby always apart
