found the video. so? anyone succeed in spot the "faeces-ridden" referred to ? also where's the failure "provide adequate food and shelter.". the door in the back of the runs is to their inside kennel area of the "inadequate" facility. Bet they would love to destroy this. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=405293983604644&t=17

there were videos of the rspca looking at the dogs, one with a towel in her hand and commenting that "the dog has short nails, a sign of distress" considering the yard is concrete which wears down nails? also its on video the pens did not have even one poo to be seen in them. Having long nails could get the owner charged, first time I ever heard of nice short nails being used to kill the dogs on the ground of being a sign of mental distress? I actually asked rspca nsw if this is now going to be another thing for dog owners to fear? They refused to reply other than that the incident happened in SA and to address my question to rspca sa. so much for "faeces-ridden" perhaps they haven't seen the videos? There are still here on dogzonline in SA thread. Well certainly were last time I viewed it. they may have only killed " some had to sadly be put down." they applied to the magistrate to have ALL ten put down and leave to seize all the other dogs from the owner and put them down. That too is all in the thread here somewhere. to have the other rescue save and rehome all the rest before the intending killers got there must have been at least a triumph for their owner and those rescues that saved them who also offered to rehome the ones rspca had not killed yet. last I heard they refused to hand them over . anyone know if they were killed too?

Kinda forgottn the other rescues successfully rehomed all the others that the rspca applied for leave to seize and destroy too? Lucky for them their owner suspected they would be back and had them all gone before they got back eh?

Didn't think mine did as well with the dry puppy food. Compared with the other brands. they call both products "Pedigree Pal I think? As for the tinned. Made them so runny and smelly, never again

its not just being in the cargo hold, I saw two crates with dogs in them on a trolley line amongst the baggage, waiting to be loaded on a jet. . Along came another jet, engines screaming as it moved into the bay beside the other jet and the waiting trolley cars, it was obvious the dogs in the carry crates were terrified as the crates were rocking so badly it was a miracle they did not come off and fall to the ground. Why on earth not load them immediately instead of being not only in the sun for over half an hour but being subjected to another jet coming in beside them???? I saw that at Mascot airport. so distressing to see Having worked for Kelvinator for ten years and they freight parts all over australia. the places parts end up instead of where they are addressed to is astonishing to say the least. so what happened to that poor dog is not a one off as far as being put on the wrong plane. tragic it was the poor dog instead of an inanimate parcel

I can't take him to the beach for a walk because it annoys you and disturbs the vacation... I have no right to rent a house if I have a dog, nor can I take him on public transportation.However, I can take it to the rubble to find you after an earthquake, in the woods after you got lost in the mountains and had no map or gps; under the snow because you took a detour forbidden off the track; in the water because despite the red flag you have entered the sea, and your life is in danger!And finally ...He is just a dog, but he or she will find you. And it will save you!!!Dedicated to all who DO NOT love dogs!Nicolas Alarcon See less

suspect that's more likely, as I bet it NEVER arrived exactly the same time each day. it couldn't have. to many variables to influence its departure and travel times

too true, I used to sing my own version of "top breeders avoid Pal!" the tinned stuff is awful, well unless you love smelly runny doo's that is.

ok off topic, but yes it is pretty hard to deal with isn't it. For anyone it rears its head. be careful, NEVER put anything in your mouth while driving. it can knock you out cold if it triggers it. Learned the hard way and lucky was doing nought miles n hour going through a roundabout. so car stopped. no accident or damage to anything but confidence. the neurologist said dont need to give up my license long as i never , etc as above. that was over ten years ago and he was right

o gee tube feeding is hard as tdierikx said. so hard to be sure its in the right place, I hope the vet shows you properly how to do it. no second chances if u get it wrong

re your " trigeminal neuralgia," Know what you mean. I have been incredibly lucky, was suggested I try Chinese massage and acqupuncture by a friend who knows a chap with a Masters Degree in pain relief, (he did the standard course at Sydney Uni, then went to China for the Masters Degree. He warned my I had a 50% chance it may or not work for me. I have been so fortunate in my case, it switches it off completely for months, although have to go to fortnightly sessions until it completely disappears. Thanks to covid I didnt go for over 6 months before it came back. Presently completely gone again. huge alternative to what the neurosurgeon wanted to do. go into my brain and sever it completely, for the entire left side of my face. said it would leave me with that side totally paralysed as if I had a stroke? He did not seem to feel like telling me the percentages of the nerve re-joining itself, he was so keen to do the op. I knew though.

I bought a dog yard that the owner no longer needed as they dog had died of old age. I remember him saying its a fully enclosed dangerous dog yard. When I picked it up it was two panels long and one wide so 8 x 16 and had spring hinges and full wire roof panels as well. with concrete floor or paving it sure is dog proof all right. so such pens are made and available

He is right, this is a national disgrace. https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/news/mum-reveals-moments-after-her-twoyearold-son-was-mauled-to-death-by-two-dogs/news-story/51efbf45905bd2086102d338a4205b3a As well as this from Australia Post. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/australia-post-reveals-shocking-postie-dog-attack-numbers-after-meter-reader-killed/news-story/a639c999f6650f3cf447bdd3e7c5c05f

its the people selling the puppies who are not chipping them, many dont even vaccinate them either. I know because when I get asked to chip a puppy by the buyer almost without fail they dont have a vaccination certificate either. That's the people who do want to council register their new pup and given my number by someone they know who knows me so for each one I see there must be tens of thousands probably really hundreds of thousands who never even question should their pup have been chipped?

Forgot I also had two Doberman's for some years, sisters. A breed often used for security work. different as chalk and cheese in their behaviour to strange people, but still did the job they breed was created to do. One would hide when someone came to the house and then once they entered go for them and try to bite them from behind on the legs. Although she never actually made contact she sure chased them off the place. Compared to her sister she was a very nervous type and afraid of people she did not know, but would still drive away strangers. If we were either inside the house when people arrived or not at home. She never barked to warn us someone was at the gate like her sister would. The other girl was very confidant and social with visitors when we were home and would do the cattle dog charge and bark the "do not enter" at them at the gate if we were inside to warn us stranger danger then wait for us to tell her it was ok for them to come in. Or keep barking at them if we were not at home . the hide girl had a litter and a friends child sneaked off when no one was looking to see the new born puppies. heard him scream and begin crying to find him outside the door of the room she was in. Brat had opened the door and gone in. Clearly, on his forehead was the imprint of her closed teeth? she must have charged him and hit him with her mouth closed to push him away from her pups and out the door? horrified to think of the damage she could have inflicted if she had opened her teeth to him. so a breed bred for guard work and never actually did damage to anyone other than scare the daylights out of someone where they should not be. cant say the same for the headliner breeds and their crosses. so I really do doubt the accuracy of that survey as to the common dominators of behaviours in known breeds?.

O you so cracked me up, send a Kelpie to "retrieve game'? if would be eaten in a flash. Never forget the day I took a kelpie we had taken to rehome after his owner had died. made the mistake of taking him down when I checked the cattle without a lead. he had been solely a house pet, so had never worked stock. big mistake on my part. He took one look at the cattle and was gone in a flash, determined to round them up. the cows had just calved and to my amazement I got to see the oft repeated stories how wild cattle "form a ring with the calves in the centre to fend off wolves." my come at a call cattle did the same as Columbus tried desperately to drive them to me. He completely ignored my calls to him to come back. Lennie our bull increasingly tried to charge and kill him until finally Columbus decided retreat was needed, THEN AND ONLY then did he come running full tilt back to me with one tone of furious bull on his tail! I ran for my life to the nearest biggest tree, stood with my back to the tree and tried to glue myself to it, just as half wit kelpie arrived and sat at my feet grinning at me? seconds later Lennie arrived and Columbus realised I wasn't going to do a thing to save him and spun, high tailing it for the house. Lennie arrived at the tree a split second before the dog ran for it. Was astonished to see me there glued to the tree. It was as if he was asking me. "are you responsible for THAT THING?" He blew the biggest snort at me as if disgusted I might be involved in scaring his cows and calves so much then took off after the bloody kelpie, much to my relief. We never muster our cattle with dogs, they have been attacked by so many suburban dogs left to roam by their owners they will attack any dog on sight, (used to lease the Kingswood raaf base for over ten years.) uncontrolled cats are not the only problem in suburbia. Just had to either call them to the stockyard or muster with the horses. The most effective calf killers were a beagle (who tracked them) and the two great danes with him who then tore them to pieces. The raaf patrols saw them at work a few times before we learned who owned them and warned them, keep them home or their dogs will be shot on sight. Interestingly neither of the Great Danes were any strokes as guard dogs, or the Basset when we visited their owners.

I have reread the story? I cannot find anything in it to give the impression the owner sourced them from a rescue? far as i know rescues always ensure no dog or cat leaves before it has been chipped. Think all have the desexing policy as well. Although dog pounds do not as my vet recently bought a stumpy male from cowra pound not desexed. although was certainly microchipped and had been impounded non chipped. as for the percentage of bogans in our population, I was stunned at how many on faceplant were adamant the dogs who killed the meter reader should not be put down for "doing their job" and even more stunned how many believed a "guard dog is trained to kill any intruder" that "he asked for it" when he entered a property with a sign saying "enter at your own risk" ? So this mentality is far wider spread than I certainly realised.

interestingly a lady at the pound told me the majority of dogs that arrive are not chipped or desexed. so the incidence is far higher than we realise. considering it has been law since 1994. "Section 10C of the Domestic Animals Act 1994 requires cats and dogs to be microchipped as a condition of registration (which is compulsory once the animal is 3 months of age). However the requirement to microchip prior to sale/transfer under section 12A only applies to domestic animal businesses." a significant percentage of the population dont care a hoot.

what kind of "behaviour" did they "study" perhaps I should have asked? our family has had Australian Cattledog's, Border Collie's, Poodles, Chihuahua's, Kelpie's and Cavalier King Charles. None of my Cavaliers showed the slightest interest in bringing in the goats or cattle. Neither did the Poodles or Chihuahuas? Fetching things was much loved by the Cattledog's, kelpie, border collie and Poodle's. Although Tammie, mums standard poodle scooping up and bringing back Pretzel the chihuahua puppy in her mouth with only her tail showing was the only time any had shown any interest in fetching something live. Lucky for Pretzel she was certainly wet but totally unharmed. but then a gun dog is bred to bring back the game undamaged, thank goodness.. Interestingly Tammie very much loved jumping in the pool and swimming with us, but since they were bred as a water retriever we rather expected that. But the day we found my friends son crying at the back door, his arm firmly held by tammy after he had nicked outside without our knowledge. not just once but three times. showed us something we never expected. when he got out a 4th time we were watching him, he headed straight to the pool and tammy grabbed his arm and pulled him back to the back door. how on earth did such a water loving dog know at only 2 he should not get in the water? would any of the other dogs if they had been there that day know not to let Tony get in the pool? Cattledogs were bred not just to herd but protect their owner and their belongings, be it swag, horse, car, child, house. our Kelpie was the ultimate workaholic if there wasn't stock to work then like the border collie happy to "work" any bird that few in or past the place. they would bark when strangers came but none of the "what's the password" attitude of the cattle dogs. As for the Chihuahua's, definitely, consummate lap warmers think they were best summed up with "what's in it for me?" if you wanted to teach obedience and fetch . Poodles were bred to retrieve but I discovered they sure were protective our their human. Cavaliers I read were "originally bred to warm laps in drafty castles and on chilly carriage rides. A prescription written in Olde English for the Queen of England directs her to keep this "comforte dog" on her lap to treat a cold. " Mine certainly believed that was their duty. Have had many of these breeds and I found them all different personality wise certainly, but the overall instincts pretty similar as far as their interests and general behaviour went

its not as if people set out to "malign" the breed. the bogan raised ones get into the headlines all by themselves with terrifying carnage achieved.

From Dr Joerg Storm Kicked out of the university lecture Subject: Legal studies. First lecture. The professor enters the lecture hall. He looks around. "You there in the 8th row. Can you tell me your name?" he asks a student. "My name is Sandra" says a voice. The professor asks her, "Please leave my lecture hall. I don't want to see you in my lecture." Everyone is quiet. The student is irritated, slowly packs her things and stands up. "Faster please" she is asked. She doesn't dare to say anything and leaves the lecture hall. The professor keeps looking around. The participants are scared. "Why are there laws?" he asks the group. All quiet. Everyone looks at the others. "What are laws for?" he asks again. "Social order" is heard from a row A student says "To protect a person's personal rights." Another says "So that you can rely on the state." The professor is not satisfied. "Justice" calls out a student. The professor smiling. She has his attention. "Thank you very much. Did I behave unfairly towards your classmate earlier?" Everyone nods. "Indeed I did. Why didn't anyone protest? Why didn't any of you try to stop me? Why didn't you want to prevent this injustice?" he asks. Nobody answers. "What you just learned you wouldn't have understood in 1,000 hours of lectures if you hadn't lived it. You didn't say anything just because you weren't affected yourself. This attitude speaks against you and against life. You think as long as it doesn't concern you, it's none of your business. I'm telling you, if you don't say anything today and don't bring about justice, then one day you too will experience injustice and no one will stand before you. Justice lives through us all. We have to fight for it." “In life and at work, we often live next to each other instead of with each other. We console ourselves that the problems of others are none of our business. We go home and are glad that we were spared. But it's also about standing up for others. Every day an injustice happens in business, in sports or on the tram. Relying on someone to sort it out is not enough. It is our duty to be there for others. Speaking for others when they cannot.” And yes. The professor asked the prior informed student to come back to again. We the members of the ankc have been doing just what the other students in is, did. standing by never defending each other when one is singled out. Why? All pet owners better realise just because your not the target yet, you will be as, those left become less and less annually its getting to crunch time now.

too funny, so behaviour "is linked to genes" but not to a breed? surely the behaviour linked to a gene is passed on by the parents? I have one, that although she has the original Debbie born in 1984 in her pedigree, (I forget how many generations back the original Debbie is). this girl born 40 years later, is both a visual clone of the original Debbie, she has all her mannerisms and personality the image of her ancestor Debbie. I know throwbacks occur pretty regularly when breeding. Happens in people Too. I would have thought the incidence of the desired behaviours would be greater when using parents of the same breed selected for the same desired behaviour? Interesting about the herding instinct might leas to a known marker

very true, try to ban the most efficient at "their job" and we all know what happened, their owners turn on those who tried to implement it. think there were comparisons made of the death rates annually before and after the most "efficient" breeds at "doing their job" arriving here. The reason BSL was drafted in the first place. so many believe this man "brought it on himself" by going through that gate. Ok I would never have gone through that gate, but really, losing his life for being stupid should not be acceptable on any level? really?, in the nanny state we now live in we are being strangled by laws constantly being drafted to "protect" . gee they are now so efficient to "protect" our animals PETA went public in 2020 they "expect the extinction of the domestic dog and cat within this generation"? Turned out the speaker meant the lifetime of the dogs and cats born then. not the human population. so within 20 years everyone will be safe from any but the wild forms anyway. the last legislation to have all bitches banned from having more than two litters didnt get through the latest draft, but the males are not allowed to be bred from after they reach 7 is still in the present draft waiting to be passed. The agenda is still on track

fact is just two dogs can egg each other on into the pack mentality. with entirely greater attack results. although I remember seeing a neighbours pack of pig dogs come after and hold one of his pigs when it escaped from his place and came into mine. they surrounded it snapping and snarling at it and the two leaders grabbed an ear each and held it till he came and trussed it up and into his ute. none of the other dogs piled in to tear it to bits

pit bulls and am staffs are cheap as chips and the pounds are full of em. there are lots of inexpensive dogs available. Just not the ones many people want instead.
