Let her go for it as a person who has two terriers and they kill rats and mice on a regular basis. The dog will come to no harm and one less rat in the world is fine by me.

So sorry.... :mad

So sorry such a gorgeous boy. He looks very happy in the video I am sure his last few months are going to be the best he ever had.

Lizards never live long in our garden the terriers are onto them instantly and skinks well they are doomed if found. The joys of terriers in a house at least they are dynamite on mice.

Great video what a little fire cracker Pepe is loved every minute of the video well done.

I have one of these in my bathroom at the moment does no harm to me so he can stay he is growing nicely. Great photos.

Adorable.

Currently sitting here with two littlies up my jacket giving them cuddles it is too cold for them to be sitting on their bed so here they are warm and get endless supplies of cuddles.

He is lovely keep the photos coming lovely to see more tenties on here.

A fool and their money are soon parted and this is a perfect example. Own cellphone and notebook... good god.

But most of all you love her.

After using Jetpets many many times over there is no way I would go anywhere else they are the best and they have never stuffed up like this ever. I hope your pups are okay and looked after well.

Mine will be put to sleep and come with me. I have this arrangement for years with my sister and she knows what to do. They will be cremated and then placed in with me and as I am going to be cremated we will have our ashes sprinkled together.

If it were not for investors and investment properties I would not have had home for many many years so I say thanks to those that provide this much needed service for those like me who will probably NEVER own their own home. Without you guys we would all be stuffed and so would the wait for public housing it is a long stretched out wait now imagine it without private rentals.

Finding affordable accomodation with dogs can be a nightmare. I have been lucky over the last ten years or more. One of my houses I stayed for almost eight years, the next three years and my current accomodation I have been here almost two years. I have a wonderful landlord now who allows pets both inside and out. As they stated if I keep my dogs inside I cannot be a hypocrite and tell the tenants to keep theirs outside. I rent a two bedroom unit on a country property that I am so blessed to have. It has it's own courtyard french doors leading out from the living areas, two bedrooms and one bath. I pay a minimal amount for it and the rent has not gone up once since I rented it. I plan on staying here for a very long time. I have three dogs currently and they have one. I have had nightmare property managers in the past with real estate agents. I have learn't to get everything in writing with them, keep photographic proof of everything as some of them are particularly good liars as I found out the hard way. I love where I live and will stay here now until my department of housing unit comes up and that will take some time and then I never plan on moving again. My current landlord has been amazing when they go away I look after their animals and when I go away very rarely they will take care of mine. But generally if I go away my dogs come with me. This situation has been perfect no stress and as my landlord lives next door they see the property regularly as we share a common entry and exit point including the drive and carparks. It works for us and I hope to be here for a few more years yet. I hope that I never have to face the rental market again as most rents are way out of my league now especially in my chosen town and area. Edited to add when I moved here I had two small dogs and requested a third dog and was granted a yes. This is my limit here not because my landlord says so it is the area we live in is not big enough for a forth dog. I also know within myself that three is more than plenty.

A warning a Tentie is like a bag of chips you cannot stop at one. They are the best little dogs and so loyal. Be ready for the great doona raid they love sleeping in the bed with you. As for the top of the couch that will be his domain. They love it up high so they can see everything. He is gorgeous.

My favourite bird as well. Yes Mr Percival will always be forever etched in my mind and Storm Boy.

My three are just happy to do what ever if I want them to run and zoomies and by hyper yes they will be. Mainly though they are pretty relaxed and laid back. The two littlies like to bury themselves under the doona and hate getting out of bed when morning. They are true doona dogs. The shepherd is just happy to be where ever I am as we lead a very relaxed lifestyle so do my dogs. There is nothing wrong with that at all.

The Dogzonline forum already has a thread going - join the forum and register a public protest. http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=202587 STOP THIS PIRACY OF OUR REGISTRY! Some Background behind this ruling: The decision to remove all IPO / SchH titles from the ANKC has been made without discussion with the breed clubs concerned or taking into consideration the rights of the owners of pedigreed working dogs in this country, where IPO / Schutzhund titles are a part of the dog's official history as well as enhancing the value of those animals. The ANKC is acting like a rogue institution, riding rough shod over our right to have accurate pedigrees and ignoring it's pact of mutual obligation it has with FCI. Namely to recognise each others pedigrees and titles, which includes IPO (Schutzhund / VPG) titles earned at legitimate trials in all FCI countries holding these trials. There can be little doubt this high handed, scandalous action by the ANKC has come about due to pressure applied by the German Shepherd Dog Council of Australia, which has engaged itself in pursuing their rabid anti-Schutzhund / IPO agenda via a variety of agencies and forums over many years. (Much to the detriment of their own breed as well as to the wider working dog population per se.) Thanks to A small group of self serving "fundamentalists" within the hierarchy of the German Shepherd Dog fraternity, every other working dog breed has had the pay the price of having a highly valuable breed test and DOG sport ignorantly demonised as being "attack training" and actively discriminated against by all manner of unfair machinations and deceits on the part of the GSDCA hierarchy. Now they add insult to injury by forcing us all to put up their minority self interests first, dictating we must accept having legitimately earned FCI titles in our dog's pedigrees simply wiped out by a keystroke - as if those dogs had never passed those trials and those official titles had never existed! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? WHO EXACTLY IS RUNNING THE KENNEL CLUB IN THIS COUNTRY? AND FOR WHOSE BENEFIT? I can answer in part the latter - it is for the political benefit of the GSDCA. The GSDCA have moved heaven and earth to destroy the sport of Schutzhund / IPO in this country, merely in order to claim immunity from the World Union of German Shepherd Dogs Charter that requires all their member organizations to support the sport and encourage members to participate. Effectively, the GSDCA hierarchy fear that by having Schutzhund training available to their members in Australia, the WUSV (World Union of GSDs) will also require their Organization to include a SV/WUSV (Schutzhund based) character test in Australian breed surveys as well as a requirment for all adult dogs rated Excellent at their Main Breed Show. Instead of the GSDCA resigning from WUSV because they cleaarly don't wish to follow the terms of the WUSV Charter, they instead set out to misuse their authority and position within ANKC and other bureaucracies to trash the sport in this country, generating collateral damage for everyone else involved while about it. GSDCV has moles working inside Dogs Victoria and within the Victorian (DPI) Department of Primary Industries. They are to blame for the instigation of legislation in Victoria that effectively criminalizes ordinary dog owners who unfortunately get caught "hetzing" their dog with an object in their hand (i.e.: this includes tennis balls). Unfortunately, the uniquely worded DPI legislation, that was intended to disable participation in Schutzhund / IPO (an internationally accredited and recognised dogsport) in Victoria, has now blown out to encompass just anyone in that state training a dog using manually held motivational tools. Ludicrous though it sounds, the ANKC assault on the integrity of our Australian pedigrees has come about merely because of the short sighted, self serving agenda of a group of influential fanatics within the GSDCA hierarchy. In their enthusiasm to target IPO / Schutzhund for destruction they've not only impinged on the right of other people to enjoy their chosen international dogsport without fear or favour, but in the process they've managed to shoot themselves in the foot - caught up in the web of their own lies when the Victorian legislation was expanded to place restrictions on all Schutzhund titled imports into that state, including the Schutzhund-titled imports of high profile German Shepherd Dog officials and breeders in that state. The comedy of errors that followed had the GSDCV forced to open secret negotiations with the Victorian DPI to request a special exemption for their own Schutzhund titled GSD show imports. These negotiations were successful for their own breed, but they didn't waste time worrying about leaving all the other working breeds out in the cold. Mean spirited people tend to reap what they sow, and despite a secretly negotiated exemption for their own dogs, Schutzhund / IPO imports in Victoria still need be muzzled when in public - not a good look for the Victorian show rings. After this blow back, the GSDCA are in further damage control. Becauase lo and Behold, now the ANKC is riding to their rescue, to pull the GSDCV's dirty irons out of the fire! Without any prior consultation with those being affected, and by a stroke of the pen, the ANKC are now blithely informing us all they intend to remove all IPO / Schutzhund titles from the pedigrees of ALL the working breeds in the country! What they don't say is we are all being expected to pay for the consequences of the GSDCA's despicable, unsporting behaviour by plotting against the sport in this country. Because of their troublemaking we all now are expected to wear having incomplete and inaccurate pedigree records! Just to accommodate the difficulties the Victorian GSDC got themselves into. As without any official IPO / Schutzhund titles recorded on Australian pedigrees, the GSDCV owners can now pretend their Schutzhund-titled imports haven't really got these titles at all! Thus shiftily avoid their responsibility to the breed and to the muzzle regulation in Victoria, part of a discrimatory law they'd worked hard to get up in that state in the hope of inflicting mortal damage upon rival working dog organizations which are providing access to the sport to Australian trainers. Don't be bullied into giving away your entitlements. Get up and speak out for accurate pedigrees!

Once re homed the German Shepherds bloomed what a pair of beauties they were. He should have got a custodial prison sentence and a lifetime ban but something is better than nothing.

When I was a young child any dog would do as a dream dog. I would bring home every stray I could to keep but they always got sent on their way. Mum was so strict on me with this. The dogs we had as kids were random mutts and a Australian Silky Terrier. But my dream dog did not come along until I was 13 and that was a German Shepherd Dog and they were and still are my dream dog.

I personally believe that what works for others may not work for you so I just stick to what works best for my dogs whether that is commercial dog food, raw, meaty bones etc. My dogs look great on the diet they are on and currently that is commercially prepared food their poos are good. So at this stage I am sticking to it. I have done the raw thing and found it time consuming and expensive. I do not mind paying for good quality dog food. So at this stage the diet mine are on they are staying on.

My lot have been playing in the sunshine it is cold here but we have sunshine so we are going to go for a drive later to the supermarket they have had a brush and fed. So later in the afternoon we will be cooking a casserole for dinner and watching the TV in the warm lounge with the heater. The dogs will go out to do their business when forced and that is it for us.

I am with medibank private and I pay just over $60 a month for three dogs that is the middle of the range coverage as I have the three insured with them they do give me a discount. I have been with them since March 2009 and would not take my business anywhere else. I have never made a claim but it gives me such peace of mind.

Fantastic.
