At lease you are out there doing it. More than I can say for me. If I was to try to we would have to travel at lease 4 hours.

Our sons dog is I think close to the 2 year old now.

I would look for a saddlery and get it cut to size and get a couple of new hole put in it what there to.

Mumma tan Mumoutain Mummavale Mumton This is what I have come up with so far I will keep thinking and see if I can think of any others.

In todays world people who own dog know the law and this is that they must be behind a fence unless with the owner on lead or in one of those of leash parks for dogs. I do the right thing by going to the council and registaring my dog. I keep him in the backyard behind a fence that keeps him contained. I clean up his dropping's in the back yard. If I have to follow the law so should everyone else. It isn't that hard to do. So ring the council and tell them your problems. Why should you have to change where you walk because some noncaring owner can't keep their dog behind a fence. It's not your fault so you are in your rights to ring. I do get peed at these owner who think they can do what they like. Ring, Ring, Ring, they deserve it.

Our son has a German Shepard and he normally take his boy for at least a half hour run. But a lot of this is due to him being a copper, so I don't know if this is too much or just right. I would think at least a half hour walk a doy might just cut it.

So then to this answer above is like a taxi driver not knowing his/her around the city they live in. This really isn't good enough then. A ranger should know all the laws that go with the area he/she is in. No excuses, they have to have a better standard than as I can gather by the replies is I think that is correct. Back to school council Rangers and learn your job.

All the dogs we have had were later in their lives were on the teatime meal only. But we had a big bowl where the dogs could go to at any time to have a nibble. Never did they over eat even with the food there all the time. It only stopped when our last Heeler became possessive over it. So we put them on a 1 feed a day. So this is really quite new to us actually making the time to feed. Not that I am saying I don't like it, I love feeding him. As now after his feeds we have a big cuddle then I put him out just like when he was a pup. He really looks forwards to these.

If you have a sign saying beware of the dog, enter at own risk & someone enters your yard & gets bitten, then you will be sued. I was told that by my local Ranger, he said you are admitting liabilty, by knowingly having a vicious dog on the premises. This is what I thought to but I don't know where I got my info from so I have got nothing to back it up. As it would have just been hear say.

Well that settles it we will keep him on the 2 feeds a day. Or unless he decided to say that is enough. I know Heelers will walk away from food if their bellies are full. Much unlike a lot of dogs who will eat till it is all gone. So I will just keep a watch on him with this.

Is it true if you post one of these signs up telling others that your dog will bite. is opening yourself to be sued as you are knowingly keeping a viscous dog. And you are advertising it with the sign. It could be more of one of these snival libratarians acts though. But I did hear that you can get in trouble with one of those signs up.

Thanks for your replies it was something that I needed to know. I don't feel to bad in keeping his 2 meals a day going now. I watched him today while I was welding and he was jumping up into one of the trees we have out the backback. And he was jumping up to about 4 foot off the ground. from a standing start. So the weight issue I think won't happen as he keeps himself busy all day long.

My boy has turn 1 year old a week or so ago and we are still giving him his morning and night meal. So I was wondering just when should we stop one of these meals. If we do stop one to which one would you say to cut. We don't mind feeding him twice a day and he is not anywhere close to being over weight either. This just to see if we should cut it out or if it is okay to keep going the way we are. He is on the dry food that Dr. Harry has got his head on it. And he gets a cup in each meal, which I think works out to be 200 grams or something like that. Every now and then we mix in an egg with his meal to. No table scraps, but the odd bone or treat is his only extra's.

When he had the Heelers was a long while ago so maybe new control officers, I really don't know. But I know a few people did file complaints about his dogs at that time but for some reason he always got the dogs out of his place when they went to see him. We all think that he has someone in the council feeding him the info, and this might have been why he did get awya with it. But it is only a guess. And him coming down the road at 7 am then taking him back home and failing to lock him away as he was out once more was purely him being unresponsible. His favourite thing to do and the most important thing we all think is most important is his grog. He will walk the dog off lead all the time with a beer in hand every night. Well the dog is getting a walk so that has to be a plus. It isn't too hard to keep a dog behind a fence as the rest of the street can do it. And the rest of the street also clean up after their own dogs, as this is the other side of these dogs roaming. But is it the dog across the road or his dog. Both are big so it would be hard to lay the blame on only one.

This wasn't a story about it being a problem more so that this is coming after the W.A thing. This is a big dog and even being a friendly dog there was always the threat that he could turn nasty and the size of him made it a real threat. We were happy to see the ranger get here as quick as he did. The owner has always had dogs that have roamed the streets and his last ones were Red Heeler who had bite a few people. But somehow he got away with it. His new dog which he took in as it was a pup roaming the main street for about a week. So he done the nice thing and took him in. I don't know if he has been desexed. Though we are thinking he hadn't as he was calling the new girl in the street which is right across from us. They as far as we think got a warning about their dogs roaming. But this is the new dog to the street and has to be the one that got all this going. So it wasn't as people think a problem as such more of what had happened here. As quite a few of us down our end of the street are happy to finally see him having to be more responsible. Apparently he pick his dog up at 7am and at 2 pm he was taken by the dog catcher. So he knew of the problem but done nothing about it. A fine for him finally to.
