To me not including the staffy or bull breed type to the description would be like telling telling the police that the blue herby VW you saw drive from the accident was just a blue car.

They looked like identical twins to me. If I saw then I'd describe them as medium brindle Staffy cross or perhaps medium brindle bull breed cross. If I'd seen them I could hardly describe them as chihuahua cross or corgi cross or shepherd cross or spaniel cross. It is a shame when other people let down your breed or breed type but seriously what the heck else could these clearly medium size brindle Stafford type dogs be described as???

I'm sure you and or vet have done but a thorough check of teeth mouth gums for signs of any problems, also ears as inflamed ears may inhibit desire to chew. As far as food, roast chicken or tinned fish worth a shot. Good luck.

Sorry you guys had such a bad day.. I don't know his health background but from your posts i wonder if he had a stroke or suffered intense heart pain

I don't know the source but it popped up on a groomers group that these people already have a new German Shepherd puppy. Can anyone clarify this ?

From what I understand it's the stomach of bovine. Grass eaters. The digestive enzymes play into the benefits of it. I've just found an Australian dried tripe product that I'll have in stock in my salon soon. See how it goes

No don't do the comb thing like hair dressers do. Just comb all the hair through so that it is sitting naturally in the direction it grows and trim the tips of the hair to shape it as one line in the profile shape you are trying to achieve. Some times it's more about what you leave than what you trim off so remember you won't always get what you're after by removing lots of hair. Sometimes it's literally one or 2 judicious snips and bang, suddenly the right shape comes out of no where! Like someone else said, get some pictures of dogs groomed how you'd like yours to look, and also a line drawing of the basic outline ( can just be a trace of pictures you find) and stick them on your mirror. There are groomers that can do the comb thing but it is usually done on the body of drop coat breeds and crosses and is very very hard to master!

Whatever tools or techniques you settle on I find setting yourself up in front of a mirror can really help as you practice and learn. The mirror doesn't lie and will tell you if one side is longer or wider than the other, whether the outline looks balanced etc.

I love Pasha. I was going to suggest it but it is a male name. I wouldn't care as it doesn't sound gender specific

I have a lovely Russian client whose name I love. Oksana. I'm not sure if it's Russian, perhaps Greek, but I like Zoi. I went to school with a Zoi (pronounced zoy not zoe)

Nadia/ Nadiya/ Nadija

Italian Greyhound comes to mind too

They look pure to me (as opposed to crossed) , but not well bred and typey If you have $1300 to plonk on one of these pups I'd suggest you start looking around for a registered breeder of pedigree Dachsund whose pups you can be assured of correct type, temperament, Heath testing and pure breeding, for not much more $$'s Use the home page link at the top of this page, and then the drop down breeds tab to find breeders, puppies and mature dogs for sale from registered breeders, as well as a call to your states canine registry, such as DogsNSW for info on breeders, breed clubs, and dog shows....all great places to find and source info on purebred dogs. ETA..... The lovely little Dachsund is an in vogue breed right now so it is especially beneficial to deal with a registered breeder who has been in love with them for many years, as opposed to someone who has jumped onto the profit wagon with a pair acquired from wherever they could get them with little or no health tests or much regard to the quality of the progeny....as long as they look like Dachsunds they're sure to make a quick buck in the current market. A breed definitely worth doing you homework on at the moment

Could you replace the glass laundry door with a split barn door with glass in the top and either use the whole bottom section pegged open as a dog door or put a large dog door in the bottom panel

Could you use a low window. Twice I have been able to replace a low window pane with a dog door and fill in the remaining space with a Masonite type panel cut to fit in the window frame around the dog door But you have to have a suitable window in the right spot

Thanks for the feedback :)

All I want is for them to see things from the perspective of the person, parent of child or pet that gets bitten 'for the first time' by this dog, or any dog. if anyone has a dog whose owner knows it had the potential to bite thinks waiting for it to actually bite someone something is alright then good luck with that. No excuse under the sun will appease the victim of such a situation. If some one comes on here posting that the aggressive lunging dog up the street that they are always wary of finally got loose and attacked them and their dog do you think we'd all be here cooing to the owner of the attacking dog. No one seems to think it will actually happen but it does. No use crying after the fact

Frankly I'd be pretty f***ing pissed off if me or my pet were the target of your dog 'taking it to the next level and following through'. If you wait until your dog actually bites someone or something until you take this seriously then I hope you have a damn good lawyer. For goodness sakes get the dog a muzzle already. Get a decent behavioural trainer. The consequences of not are likely to end in a dead dog and an empty bank account. Sorry if I offend you it's nothing compared to the offence of not properly managing an aggressive dog

If you've ruled everything else out and are still desiring her to sleep on the bed perhaps invest in some bitches britches and pop in a lady pad. Breeders often use these to stop bitches in season dropping blood all over furniture and bedding etc That way you can hold out on her instead of having to take her out just in case. If she pees her pants she and your floors/furniture stay dry. Often it's enough wearing pants for them to kind of retrain themselves. Whatever you do you want to get it sorted before baby because everyone's sleep is going to become even more precious. You don't want to be up and down to a dog and a baby.

There are two listings here under older dogs for sale. Go to the home page and use the links at the top. They are both in tassie but don't let that put you off. Pre loved Pekes are like hens teeth! What state is she in. I groom some dogs for a breeder here in SA I can ask

Years ago I groomed a Keeshond named Enya. A little while later I picked up a KBT puppy and the owner tells me proudly...,'and her name is Enya' .....so naturally I'm like oh I groom another Enya. Well I'm pretty sure that was the biggest devastation of the KBT owners life. I'm certain they were certain they had the only dog.named Enya in the known universe, and possible beyond !

I think Pugs are really suited to names like Barry and Brian and Kevin :laugh: I know one at the dog park called Tupug (as in the rapper Tupac, but he's a Pug lol). When I was considering a Pug I had the name Sammie in my head for a fawn female. Actually I also knew a Pug x called Puck, now that I think about it. I don't really have any names on my pet names list at the moment, I'm hoping the name will come if/when I decide on the dog. The Puck I groom is a Pug cross. Looks like a wire coat Pug!

And my other dog who stayed with my ex is named Mr.Shivers. He was an unclaimed stray the last dog we took into our rescue. He trembled for weeks, hence Mr.Shivers, and ended up staying. He has blossomed into a spoilt little Mr.Shithead with too much attitude since I lost control of his day to day training and discipline !

One day I will have another Bouvier, a boy, named Barge And another Chow, named YumYum I'm not a fan of names that end in Y or a Y sound

Try to tell me that greyhound breeders trainers owners didn't know there was live baiting and mass graves etc and I'll tell you I don't believe it. The good people let bad things happen and therefore are somewhat complicit and partly responsible for what led to this ban. Good people chose to go home and clean up there own house and hope the bad people would too, or just go away, or not be seen or heard. But it's because the good greyhound people didn't string their bad apples on the fence for everyone to see that things have turned out the way they have. They should have exposed the shit going on instead of turning a blind eye and shuffling around with their heads down
