Kajtek

Ohhhh Cynthia. I am so very sorry to hear the news. Lots of love and hugs from all of us. Hugs and hugs. Thinking of you Anna

@asal Amen to that indeed

I am sorry for your loss. It hurts and the hurt never really goes away but the joy of pawrenting one of those dogs is beyond description for me. I have no experience with Aussie Bulldogs. I proudly pawrented 3 of Australasian Bosdog beauties. They are all in dog-heaven now - one died at 8.5, one at 11, and the last at 6.5yo. The first 2 were skeletal issues, the third was heart condition. No cancer for us. This is a pure breed forum and Australasian Bosdogs are still pending ANKC registration. Please send me a message if you wish to discuss this further,

Does anyone know the best contact for British Bulldog rescue ? It's not my dog and I have not seen him. Apparently, the is 1.5 yo, with papers, entire, lives outside, is crate trained, is located in NSW (Sydney / Central Coast area). Please let me know who I can contact to get this guy a decent home. Thank you.

Ok this is about my 5th attempt to write something that makes sense :-( I have read all the responses and it tears my heart apart. Regardless of breed: It is NOT OK to breed dogs with slits for nostrils. It is NOT OK to breed dogs that have elongated palates that makes them puke after each meal. It is NOT OK to breed dogs with hereditary heart failure and other health issues. It is NOT OK to breed dogs that cannot work, walk, live because of the breeder's preferences. It is NOT OK! I am leaving DOL - the pure breed forum. No great loss I know - it's only been ten years of minor contributions. Thank you to all the wonderful people who have helped me become a better dog owner. Special thanks to those who have supported me when I lost my beloved Kajtek. If you need funds for rescue, please contact Troy who will release my email to you. I will be happy to help. Thank you and do good. Anna

It's BB for me Every dog selector. Every time. Even if I change dog size requirements from med to large. Must be hardcoded in my IoT profile

Oh gosh @Scrappi&Monty I looked. I cried. What have we done!!!! Working type Bassett Hounds are beautiful. Maybe someone here knows how to find working type BB breeders Is there somewhere online I should look? Is there a working BB club I should contact? Lost I am

Two things to try. (I assume he has seen the vet, you are worming him regularly and there are no health concerns.) 1) Frontier pets food https://frontierpets.com.au/. Absolute magic for my dogs (poos are A+). It may also work for your dog 2) Charcoal tablets or treats.

Ohhhhh What a glorious athletic BB. Thank you mita for sharing the picture

and You've done good

I am not ready to give up on BBs just yet, If anyone here knows a breeder with "working type" rather than show BBs, please, please let me know. I will be looking for another child (yes, I know) in not too distant future. Thank you.

I could not agree more Anne I proudly parent an old show BB. He was a champion when young and I think he is well bred for what he is. Love him to bits but the price he pays for his "good" looks....oh boy :-(

Oh luvmybulldog hugs just huge hugs to you. I know how you feel.

@Maddy Try these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Memory-Foam-Dog-Bed-Extra-Large-Orthopedic-Dog-Beds-Cushion-Bolster-Big-Paws-/331707908089?hash=item4d3b54fff9:g:nb8AAOSwKytZGzW8 Magnificent and so comfy.

Sounds like my Pipin at first. He would do the right things but then 'shut down'. He frequently just went to bed to be alone - a coping mechanism I suppose. Give him time. You are doing the right things. Judging by my experience there is a wonderful, loving companion at the end of this journey.
