friend walked out of her front door, locked it then before she could take a step her dog was attacked by two pb's, a dog and a bitch. the male grabbed his face and throat, the female his side and they tried to drag him off. Lucky he was on his lead and she had her walking stick and did try to drive them away but she is very disabled (aka, most are in a wheel chair with her disabilities.) Fortunately she kept screaming for help and the owner of the male grabbed him and locked him in her car, then grabbed the female. She has rope burns from holding the lead and other injuries. Her dog has extensive injuries but not fatal unless infection gets away we hope. there are many tooth holes leaking fluid but his trachea is intact and he can swallow. I told her to ask the vet she went to to ask about pain medication as well as anti anxiety medication to help him cope with the trauma, but the vet refused. Didn't even want to give antibiotic injection? only willing to supply antibiotic tablets? its week 2 now and he is a mental mess. Terrified to leave the house. terrified in the car the second he sees or hears dogs. he is her support dog and goes everywhere with her, workplace included. She cannot cope to leave him at home which is where he wants to stay now. Has anyone had experience with how to proceed after an attack like this? to get him coping with leaving the house and getting to the car. Or how to make it safer from a future attack?

friend visiting another friend , her dog was on leash but the second it saw the chooks it took off so fast the owner was flat on her face in a split second. lucky the chooks were safe behind the fence. as for the dogs owner gee it was a hard fall. tried to say she tripped. nup her dog yanked her clean off her feet. lucky the chooks were locked up or it would have been a massacre it wasn't a big dog, only medium sized . so does not need to be big to pull someone over if they take off fast enough

huge floppy ears, wire looking coat no cattledog in that pup. long from elbow to foot? no daschund either

Remarkable story below. what really amazed me was this lady's generosity to ensure the highest chance of preserving the discovery. Cooperation so lacking in dog breeders, hence the ever reducing gene pool. hopefully dog people will learn to co operate for the good of their breeds instead of the present dead end philosophy so in evidence. " Over the last few years I have received private messages from a reasonably high profile member of this amazing group, administered by the honourable, patient, kind and knowledgeable Robyn Riley. Sadly these PMs do not follow her positive example. So I just want to clarify the circumstances surrounding the arising and furthering of the “fawn” mutation. In 2014 a pair of our pieds produced a light coloured chick. I was pretty sure from an early stage it was a female. As she grew she stayed this fawny-grey colour. Eventually her existence became public. We left the pair who had produced her together but there was no further indication of another mutated individual. I had always assumed from my genetics in zoology at uni that when she was ready to breed we should put her back to her father but Craig Mcfawn advised us to put her to the nicest reverse pied we could find; it turned out that he had only glanced at the pic I sent and thought she could be a white-eyed bird. Anyway, we had a lovely reverse pied of the same age, that we had bred and she had been raised with him, even though he was from a different clutch. We also had the fawn’s father as backup. As it turned out this naughty reverse pied boy, when we moved them into a bigger pen, became adolescent territorial and aggressive and gave her a hard time. We removed him and tried again but the same thing happened, so we then put her father in with her. The first year they bred and Robyn Riley took the plunge and bought all of the progeny plus one stunning reverse pied that I couldn’t guarantee was from that pair. We were very happy to disperse the genes so to speak because we felt that if there was a disaster of any kind ie bushfires or has happened one year we had ILT here all would not be lost. There were no mutation's produced that season, so we thought we would leave her another year with the father. The next year there were no obvious mutations either but we continued to disperse the progeny for the same reasons; more so because we had had a number of seriously scary fire years, including one where the firebreak south of the river that borders our place was bulldozed in the middle of the night to stop the fire heading further south to Mansfield. We were north of the river and directly in the fire’s path. Meanwhile fawn females started to appear for the various breeders to whom we had sent progeny, so the gene was carried by the males, sons of our fawn girl, and then appeared in their female progeny. The race was on then to breed a male of whatever colour he would turn out to be. As it turned out, apart from the fact that the lovely reverse pied bird would not have a bar of the fawn girl, it would not have mattered to which male we put her, because it was a one-off chance mutation, nothing to do with her father. Meanwhile, even though Blondie, as I call her, is now over 9 years old and has laid eggs without shells for the last many years but has always been a well bird, there seemed to be a difficulty with the fawn females, in that some were going blind. No-one was quite sure why. The Perrins and others did a lot of research and believed that if you crossed the fawns with Spaldings that that may alleviate the problem. They are taking the long way around and putting a lot of work into that program. There are now females and immature males on the ground and it will remain to be seen what they turn out like. We are ever grateful to Robyn for having faith in the first place and the Perrins and Munzels for their help and generosity. We are so glad we dispersed the genes over the years too, and we are pleased that the fawns are in enough safe hands. As we have had a couple of health scares we have dispersed our flock except for Blondie, who is not breeding anyway. All reactions: 43, Mandy Etherton and 41 others " A spalding is a cross between green and blue . Could be argued if some have developed blindness maybe let it die out. Although now 9 years later I know people with this colour and no eye problems although all of theirs has some spalding in them, so has been eliminated whatever the cause. I only like the normal coloured. but impressed with the way this lady preserved that one fluke mutation by sharing.

there is no mention the missing staffie pup was an amstaff, two different breeds. blue is quite common in english staffies always has been. Actually the puppy in the photos is a brindle so a blue brindle would be quite easy to see the blue. "Red, fawn, white, black or blue, or any one of these colours with white. Any shade of brindle or any shade of brindle with white. Black and tan or liver colour highly undesirable."

Blue and blue fawn/sable has been a very common colour in English staffies for decades. also very common in chihuahua's. as is chocolate and chocolate fawn/sable. If its only fawn the blue hasn't much to show up on aside from the blue nose and eye riims with lighter eyes and ruby pupil's, if it has sable ticking then all the hair tips will be blue with the fawn underneath as blue can only dilute black skin and hair. Same with the chocolate gene, black dog becomes chocolate, fawn only nose and eye rims is chocolate, sable ticked the tips are chocolate instead of black.

the disgusting part is so many of the very politicians who ended free uni education were themselves beneficiaries of their free university degrees.

that is the year she was campaigning for the 2019 election that saw her elected as a representative for AJP. SO member of Peta and AJP. So many assume she is no longer a member of peta

lost me when the poor darling had to sell some of her handbags to cover the cost. like are u for real??????

Yes I know, soon as I saw it realised, its gold. so many gullible's think she was only part of peta 20 years ago

many vets these days simply assure the frantic owners "i will do all I can". and unless they ask they will not be given a quote for possible costs. then when its dies, are assured "Remember you know you did all you can for your pet" then get the bill. seen it so often. In the case of my filly, I had realised soon as I unloaded her she had given up and asked for her to be put down but he would not go off his assurance patter "am sure I can save her if you let me, at least let me try" and kept it up until I agreed. 35 minutes later ask my permission to put her down as she had collapsed and then hands me a bill for 1800 ? 800 of that was for supposedly administering 10 litres of Hartmans ? he had hooked it up but she collapsed 14 minutes later?????? no way can you infuse 10 litres in 15 minutes! leaving me wondering how much was the rest of the bill padded. be very careful with some, me! never used that practice again

Emma Hurst representing PETA , She was already campaigning for the the forthcoming election that saw her successfully elected as a representative for the AJP https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/inner-west/animal-welfare-group-calls-for-revolutionary-name-change/news-story/ffc75dd89034558f2721b59f9423f129?amp&fbclid=IwAR2eN76I0Jat3tX-df9QrjKQpPRIuHgeVIztuGxBlp4zav1oSQDVoYMxJqE&nk=dcffd62c537e6d06f2cb3cbdbc735ec1-1684882926

had that problem with a horse vet when I came home to find my favourite with a ruptured stomach. he ran up an $1800 bill in 25 minutes "trying to save her" when blind freddy coujd see she was ready to collapse and die. but nup he kept pushing and doing more useless tests until he finally admitted defeat when she collapsed and went into shock

from the tone of the letter I really was worried what I would find, so, pleasantly surprised when I did meet her puppy. A major part of her distress and depression was obviously the puppies nails, Sharp as razors, her hands and skin of her arms and legs is a mess of cuts, many quite deep, Her daughter had come recently and removed their sharp tips, the day before, I learned, once they were clipped and filed smooth she is no longer afraid of her nails now. Yes, she sure liked to bite but that was only because she had never said no, not wanting to hurt her feelings. I left feeling pretty amazed now quickly her depression has been resolved and her confidence in her puppy has grown. As for the attacking shoes and legs. No! has resolved that just as quickly, she really is a delightful puppy. I did cheat, I brought an old horse halter to distract her and play with too, while we were talking. The smells on it fascinated her. So it will be brought out when visitors arrive to keep her occupied during the initial excitement of new visitors and burn off the excess energy on the halter and not the people. . only ten minutes playing with the halter and she had burned off the overexcitement and happy to lay on laps or beside you quietly, perfect little lady. She reports it is working well. She had completely forgotten the importance of taking her out to toilet after meals and after waking from a nap. Let alone praise each time she does go outside. Bit gee whizzed how easily things have turned around.

So happy to report, went and visited small rough nut this morning. Less than 10 minutes of , No and ah! She stopped bite immediately I made either sound, never bit again for the next 20 minutes. Not just not hands or fingers, no biting shoes, socks or clothes, very impressed , such a quick learner, loves cuddles and tummy rubs yet didn't get over excited or forget new manners. Her human is delighted and more confident now to say no when needed. As others suspected, had forgotten puppies Need to be taught, NO! Being such an eager to please bub, should be much better from now, going to be more active in taking her to toilet after meals and sleep as well as immediate praise when she does. Will Check their progress in a few days , so relieved to have been able to help but what darling smart eager to please puppy bub too

so true. the submission by the murry grey stud I would have thought would have been enough to show just how vindictive they are and how totally they destroy lives of even the PROVEN INNOCENT............ yet the AJP initiated Parliamentary investigation, instead recommended more power be given to them instead? There is something going on that continues to make them a sacred cow to the government? regardless how much these powers are abused. Until that can be discovered and stopped things will only get worse

I received this letter today . From a lady who had bought Jaffa and Spot (also cavalier king Charles) from me 13 years previously. I have no idea who she purchased Ruby the puppy being referred too. My puppies understand "NO" and "be gentle" from the get go. But she is obviously very much in need of help. Only had her two weeks. "How are you the family and all of your beautiful animals? we are all well except for dealing with our new 10 week old cavalier, ruby. there's no sign of toilet training working, the biggest problem, though, is that ruby is very aggressive, bordering on vicious. I hope you can help. I have so many socks with holes from her nipping at our ankles. I can't go near her until I have on sturdy shoes. she bites toes and she is so strong in the jaw that I fear injury. When she tries to jump onto my lap from the floor I get scratches and tooth damage on my hands and legs. If I start with her on my lap she scratches and bites just as hard. She sleeps well in the bathroom. Have bee trying the toilet training pads but she just ignores them. I cant let the grandchildren near her - two are scared of dogs to start with. If you have any ideas, I'd be grateful. My shih Tsu and Jaffa and Spot did not give any of the trouble like this, my four big dogs were lovely. I dont know what to do." It is accepted puppies naturally do not want to defecate in their sleeping area. For this reason I have a separate area from their sleeping area with shavings for the puppies and mum to go, as well as plenty of lawn to play and hoon. my dogs are raised outside, as my hubby will not allowed me to raise a litter in the house, no arguments. one thing I have discovered is without fail all my puppies look to go outside to toilet? Which is very much appreciated by their new homes. This lady really needs help and I am not sure how to help. my instinct is make the brat a run outside so she has to learn to toilet outside for starters ? Then she cant hurt everyone as she pleases or make so much mess inside? I expect you will all be horrified I said that. but im lucky. mine never make a mess inside. or the ones gone to new homes, so I am at a loss what would work for her? But being so young and small be pretty cold outside now?

was sent this today. https://www.facebook.com/mark.aldridge.1232/videos/3033870310255918 Never ceases to amaze me how its perfectly fine for the rspca to send out "press releases" to be published months to years before any court action against the "alleged" person and even named in many instances. yet no other "alleged" offender is allowed to be tried by media in that fashion, let alone, named and shamed in the press?

very true and we all know what happens to a tall poppy in Australia. although I do find a certain irony that we celebrate anzac day with what? the red poppy? What happened to Adrienne is all to common the attitude to anyone who bred a litter, even among the very members of DogsNSW. So quick to explain they either never breed or only one litter. Anyone else who bred more is spoken to and treated the same as Adriene was by that lady in the street, but if you bred more than two litters so will you by your fellow members who feel they are ethical and responsible because they are either dead end kennels because no pup is main registered unless they kept it, or dont breed anyway. I do not blame anyone for not breeding anymore, it is not worth the stress and condemnation earned or not. Never forget the heartbroken friend who had joined her breed club worked her herself to a standstill for the club and what happened? Treated like dirt because the thought police perusing the litter for sale adds, added up she had bred six litters that year? The average litter size was 2 to 3 so still less than one big breed litter anyway? She had 8 bitches for goodness sake, (she had been having so much fun showing them and organising food for the club members at ever show, as well as finding great trophies for the winners) so either leave all but one or two empty annually or face the humiliation she did when accused of being a puppy farmer. That was some 12 years ago and this persecution has simply been escalating from among the membership to spread to the general public ever since. watching the number of puppies registered annually I suspected the ankc was heading into the red, hence the increasing registration fees but I could only suspect what what happening until some one had the foresight to put together the Forensic View of puppy breeding in Australia. There it is for all to see where this is heading, the figures are from 2016 and the downhill trend is not slowing, in a population expanding by the millions finding a pet IS going to be harder and harder despite the pounds being full of unwanted breeds which come from where? well here the figures tell you. https://ankc.org.au/media/6598/a-forensic-view-of-puppy-breeding-in-australiav4.pdf

I am astounded by the anti breeder sentiment on an ankc site, let alone so many other sites for purebred dogs including face plant? people saying they "rescued" their pup they bought, dont even mention it came from an ankc breeder to prevent being made to feel bad because it came from a breeder if they had? How do I know, puppies i bred I have seen their photos posted by their proud new owner, but not game to say other than "this is my darling rescue" That shows how much pressure is being put on people to adopt/rescue now days . Let alone the pressure to never risk breeding a litter in the future. I realised being a breeder was becoming "being a witch" decades ago. anyone who looks back to my comments from 1999 can verify where I saw this was heading. no way did I want to be proven right because this one is leading to the end of ankc dogs and just about every other register. what is it with the human race? the search to find a scapegoat and eliminate it? To register a purebred pup is now 66 dollars for both main and limit. Made the comment I suspect it will be $100 soon to keep the ankc in the black, by the rueful laugh he gave he didn't disagree with me.

no idea if it is true, but told PETA own shares in facebook and demanded the rules

I accidently deleted the page where I saw it and copied if from, now cant remember where it was advertised.

No longer applies to just dogs and cats now it seems. Nearly fell over when I saw this for sale add..........( ooops "Adoption" add ) Name: Snow Breed: Gypsy Vanner Age: 9 years Height: 14h Adoption cost: 4200 AUD Adoption status: Available Description Eye catching Gypsie More woah-than-go attitude, 3 good paces and relaxed on trails, arena and obstacles. Genuine all rounder.Great to C/S/F, good feet, sound horse with clean legs.Snow is what every Horse Lovers Dreams are made of Snow is a Once in a Lifetime Partner! He is ready to meet you at the gate, saddles and bridles quietly. Walk over to the fence or block, climb up, turn around and Snow has already sidepassed up to as if to say, "Slide on, Lets go for a ride! Snow is broke to drive and was an essential part of a carriage business. He drives single or in a team. He’s done weddings, wagon rides in town, and private events! Snow has been used to teach lessons, and has even been started jumping! Snow has been nothing short of wonderful for every task we have asked of him. Whether he’s Driving, riding English or Western. He has exceptionally smooth gaits.

The term "backyard breeder" incorporates EVERYONE who has a backyard? Which is what percentage of Australians who do not live in a high rise, caravan park or a tent? I have never understood why the term was so enthusiastically embraced to define who should be eliminated? the stupidity of the human race continues to amaze me.
