@Powerlegs I'm surprised Jamie Parker hasn't got involved in this one. I know he's got a lot on his plate but he has always stuck up for dogs in the past.

Loved it. Thanks.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-13/clinical-trial-tests-sarcoma-gel-treament-in-dogs/101648314 Six dogs are in the trial using an immunotherapy gel. So far there has been no recurrence of the cancer in the 6 dogs.

Please note re the above post the name calling referred to related to only one poster and not any of the regular good natured DOLERS who are more than happy to share their experiences and advice with people asking for help.

It's a shame that we will probably never find out what was wrong with the pup. The absolute majority of replies in this thread just wanted to help Belinda because they realised how dire her situation was. The name calling didn't help and definitely lowered the tone for the rest of us who did give constructive advice. I hope Belinda does try to get an assessment done for the pup because despite everything she is fond of the pup. The assessment whether it is medical or K9 Pro may help her in making decisions about the pup's future.

Belinda74 Contact Steve Courtney @ K9 Pro. If you don't have any success there feel free to PM me re a trainer/behaviourist specialist I can highly recommend.

Has the dog been to the vet previously for its vaccinations? Did it bite the vet at the consult? At the very least it should be taken to the vet for a check up to see if there is anything medically wrong with the dog that may be causing the aggression.

Yes. The original post re biting and biting when woken dates back to Sept. 26. And the behaviour has fully escalated since then.

None of the advice given here has been implemented. Especially the recommendation to see a Vet to ascertain there is nothing medically wrong with the dog and it is not in pain.

I'm sure it's headed down the legal path. If they can find out who owns the dog.

Do any of the other pups in the litter have similar problems with biting/attacking?

Also the bigger the dog the bigger the cost.

This reply doesn't address the behaviour/biting issues. I think this is quite serious and should be addressed before it becomes worse. Because if the behaviour is not reined in it will get worse.

You need to talk to a Vet and maybe they can recommend a Dog Behaviourist to you. The behaviour you have described is not normal. Even for a 5mth old pup. What if your dog bites another child of adult out side of your family. I'm not surprised you are worried. I would be too. You should have your dog checked by the Vet to ascertain if there is a medical problem or if your dog is in some type of discomfort or pain.

Great that you posted back " thanks for the advice" and even better you updated us on your dog and what you are now feeding him. Again thanks for updating us coneye.

The dog shouldn't have been on the street but it looked like it loved kids and wanted to play. Another irresponsible dog owner though.

Could you send her back to the breeder and maybe pay the breeder to board her.

The minute we put toilet rolls and paper towel rolls down they are taken. In a flash. Boxes of tissues also suffer the same fate. Everything has to be put out of reach and then you have to remember where you hid it.

I've seen people walk off with dogs that aren't theirs whilst tied up outside shops. I've seen people & children pat dogs tied up outside shops and dogs that have bitten the children & adults after being patted when the owner wasn't around. I've seen off leash dogs in the main street try to attack dogs tied up outside shops. And you still see dogs tied up outside local shops. I'm surprised the Local Council doesn't fine them as Council apparently deems dogs tied up not to be under effective control. But then they would have to fine all the off leash dogs walking around the suburb. And they don't. And why not. IWC.

I heard this on the radio several days ago. Good that you have put this info out there as a warning and a reminder. Thanks PK.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11301757/Bellevue-Hill-Sydney-dog-attack-Groodle-left-horrific-injuries-attack-malinois.html There had been other attacks and other complaints prior to this attack. Perhaps if the Council had investigated and acted on the other complaints this attack could have been prevented.
