Loving my Oldies Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 at the pics of the Muderaanian!! Donatella - priceless!! Friends have a "rat" - a little chi X and while she does get absolutely fussed over - and carried , simply because she is TINY - she also thoroughly enjoy racing around with teh bigger dogs , getting dirty, chasing crickets and sticks , and 'going bush' on camping trips . Pom x next door tries to herds goats and chickens. Also plays with the big dogs, jumps in dams and the pool....enjoys mud baths. Exactly A dog is a dog no matter what the size :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
german_shep_fan Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I think also that the general public see small dogs as toys - well not exactly toys but because they are small, some people will see them as not needing to go for walks every day, not needing to be socialised and not needing to be properly trained. Someone owning a larger breed migh come across a problem and seek advice, where a smaller breed, you see a lot of people laughing it off. Just go to youtube. I remember searching for a video on cutting difficult dogs nails and finding this video of a smaller terrier breed that was growling and snapping and lashing out as soon as the nail clippers came close to it, and both the owner and the person behind the camera where laughing their heads off, tormenting this poor dog with the clippers, just putting them close to it, it lashes out, then pull them away and then back again. They found it hilarious. If there were a big dog, no one would have found that funny. Agree. If ppl would just take their dogs to obedience school and train and socialise their dogs (esp between 8-16 weeks) I am sure there would not be so many snappy dogs, big and small.

Maddy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Conversely, here's my clothes-wearing big dog. And I didn't have to be blonde or from the Gold Coast to manage it. Excuse the blue pajamas, normally he wears his pink ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant take a dog that young out to obedience school. I have been waiting till mine had his last needles and then another 2 weeks after that as advised by my vet. So that is 18 weeks. Parvo is alive and well in this area and taking them out so young, although tempting, is not worth the risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
german_shep_fan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Oh wow ok. We have always started puppy school at 8 wks. Interesting to know some places don't start that young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankdog Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yea, that's because I haven't put out the carpet so his feet will get wet when he pees. Poor snookums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankdog Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) No, it's just at my age I was a bit slow to roll out the carpet. This winter we just have a special place on the lounge carpet that he can go. Much easier for everyone.????
