At least you tried! More than what anyone else did. Maybe your actions inspired others to do the same thing next time they see a loose dog.

Just tried to download it, but I have a Samsung!

I looked through lots, spoke to many companies and ending up going with MGA Insurance.

I've been looking around (Google) for some online pet management systems to keep all of our info in the one place. Just wondering does anyone have a program they use or could recommend?

It would be good to set up an Australia wide blacklist of people not to adopt too wouldn't it! You have done an amazing job with mum and puppies, wish we were closer so we could help!

This is what we have found with the first dog I put the picture up of. She's currently living in a pack, and get on really well with a shep x and they play all day. I think she was just used as a guard dog before we got her, she was very hesitant with strangers but has come along in leaps and bounds. I've found this also... Purebreds are probably very rare, but we do tend to have a lot of Catahoula x's in FNQ probably because pig hunting is quite big up here.

Thankyou both, left a message with Crisp Insurance today :)

I've noticed there's not many threads on Catahoula's, except to say they seem be mostly up the Northern part of Australia. We have a few in foster care at the moment, one who's been with us for a while, and another who's come in recently, and had a litter of pups. They seem like a very loyal an protective breed, sometimes a little nutty, and needing a firm leader. Has anyone else had much experience with the breed?

I really like the photo of Jackson on the bed. I dont really go for that type of breed, and I am not instantly attracted to him, but looking through all the photos he looks like a pretty cool dog. I always try and change profiles a bit if I haven't had much luck with adoptions. I had no adoption inquiries for one of my foster dogs for aaaages. A year and a half later we had one, and it sounded perfect, but he had totally won be over by then, so he hasn't left :) Could you try writing the profile as if it were him... Hi, I'm Jackson, not to blow my trumpet, but I've gotta tell you, i'm a pretty fun dude to be around. I'm great with other dogs and am a quick learner especially when there's cuddles involved.... etc Maybe something like that. I've been doing some research into making doggy & cat blurbs sounds more interesting as we have some long termers too, basically facts are boring. As Juice said, you need to pull people through the door, and maybe you could explain the hard facts when they're actually meeting Jackson? Love the photos though, they're great. Do you have an 'adopt me' coat or collar? All the best!

Hi Everyone, I have been getting some quotes for insurance for the group but I really don't have much of an idea what to look for. Obviously public liability is a biggie, but is there much else you can get covered for? There were a couple of other threads on here that mentioned insurance, but never got anywhere, or where in another state. Thanks!

Linda from Cairns Canine Training is great also :)

Just wondering if anyone can help out with a home check in Russell Island please? Please email me at [email protected] Much appreciated Jess
