Every adult in that house who knew there was a dog in the yard and a young child wandering around should be held accountable IMO.

I am an expert in the art of showing my dog, especially in the Group Line Up at the Royal Show :rofl: Yes, thats me in the middle with the dog doing a poo!

Virtual hugs Cougar, my heart goes out to you

I have unbonded with a dog We had a working kelpie when I was younger, he was my late fathers dog and he was a great dog,very affectionate and loving, he also provided us with a connection to Dad after he died. One day he just brain snapped for no apparent reason and went to attack my god child from across the room, i remember josh hadnt been anywhere near him at the time, Devil just had a quiet low growl and flew off his bed towards josh who was about 4 years old,I reacted instinctively and managed to intercept him before he reached young josh, I caught his collar, he bit through my hand and kept trying to attack me while I dragged him to his kennel.I have a couple of scars on my arm and hand where he got me, it was pretty full on. we took him to the vet who couldn't find anything wrong after a barrage of tests, mum said she would have him pts if I wanted but I couldn't bring myself to have him put down. We had only lost Dad a year earlier. To this day I have no clue why he did it, but I never felt the same about that dog again.Devil also avoided me afterwards & probably picked up on my distrust of him. I never let my kids near him when we visited my mum even though she said he ever again showed any aggression & she kept him until he died of old age quite a few years later.

I hadn't thought of the water affecting the products, thanks that's good to know!

I now have a list of shampoos I want to try I love trying new products but my wallet doesnt quite so much :laugh: I want to give the pangenics a go, also Champion Tails, Kelco, and the Petways ones,I wonder if they do trial sizes? I bought some bryll cream a few weeks ago to use on his pee feathers on a whim,Im glad I was on the right track :)

I did find the Isle of Dogs drying on my own hands, which is probably whats affected Obi too. I used the purina puppy shampoo but it didnt get any dirt off and made him coat feel quite rough.His white areas have started to come up a bit yellow so maybe I need to use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of any build up that could be there from the IODs that I have been using? Then just be able to maintain with a gentle shampoo instead of using the whitening shampoo which is obviously drying him and causing the itchy n scratchy? would the velvet soap or detergent dry the coat out a fair bit as well though? I wonder if the IOD conditioner is contributing to the yellowing, his coat feels so nice and soft afterward I use it so I hope not! It was so much simpler before I got a show dog,a hose off in the backyard and the occasional hydrobath was the extent of my grooming then lol.

How is Toby today RV? hope things are looking up with him xxx

I have been using isle of dogs no 16 whitening shampoo & their heavy conditioner on my orange & white Brittany. It has been really good but lately he seems to have developed a bit of a sensitivity to the shampoo, he gets quite itchy the minute I put it on him, it also doesn't seem to be as effective as it used to be, his coat is a tiny bit yellowed, I do love their heavy conditioner though. So now I'm looking for a good shampoo that will whiten his white bit while still protecting the orange and that he hopefully won't react to?. I will be watching with interest :)
