  1. http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/172076-beagle/ I've not met a snappy JRT. And I have a friend who trials several and another who competes in flyball and agility with her crew. Theirs certainly aren't wilful.
  2. A woman and two police officers have been attacked by two dogs in incidents at Guildford West yesterday. About 5.35pm yesterday, (Friday 23 August 2013), a 43-year-old woman was walking along Robertson Road whilst pushing a pram with her two year old child. Police have been told the woman was confronted by two dogs that were aggressively barking at her before they charged. The woman grabbed her child from the pram and the dogs attacked her, one biting her right leg. Police from Holroyd Local Area Command attended soon after and the injured woman was treated at the scene by Ambulance Paramedics before she was conveyed to Westmead Hospital. Her child was unharmed. Officers made patrols of surrounding streets and located two large dogs believed to be American Pitbulls. One officer attempted to catch one of the highly agitated and aggressive dogs and was bitten on the hand. A second officer was also bitten on the leg but was not injured. The dogs were eventually herded into the yard of a home in Wisdom Street and secured. They continually barked and charged at police and neighbours. Assisted by officers from the RSPCA, the dogs were tranquillised before one dog was taken to their shelter at Yagoona whilst the second was taken to a veterinary clinic for observation. Police continue with their inquiries to determine how the animals escaped from a home in Wisdom Street where they were temporarily being cared for whilst Holroyd Council will conduct investigations into the incidents. The woman and one police officer were treated for their injuries and released.
  3. I do on the other computer. They were pretty stunning looking pups.
  4. Excuse my ignorance, but do you know if this means dogs can still be on the back of utes as long as they are chained to them, or flat out no dogs on backs of utes? I know it happens a lot, but I really hate seeing it, unless you're on a farm or something! Dogs on backs of utes on suburban roads (and 100 km/hr hwy's! ) scare me My dogs travel quite happily on the back of the ute. They are tethered to a belt that is bolted through the tray and wear a harness attached to that, plus a lead on a flat collared tethered to the backboard. We also have a ute crate. If they are secure then what is there to worry about? We have a tray mat as well. The GR goes bonkers in the car.
  5. We had a litter of Labs through rescue who had brindle points. I remember an awful lot of people on here hoo hawing, saying they couldn't possibly be Labs.

  7. I'm so sorry for your loss. How devastating to lose your mum, then Brandi. Keeping each other company.
  8. The one we have here is VERY popular. Dogs come in from town yards and acreage.
  9. The one in my town is $30 per day.
  10. Maybe the dog thought it was a treat ball.
  11. The Land used to give away foals and working dog pups in competitions. Don't know if they still do, haven't read it for yonks.
  12. well, you know when you get moths flying from your wallet......
  13. There doesn't seem to be much that's conclusive.... 'might' 'unlikely'
