Belgianlover

Groenendael - Gron-en-dale Tervuren- Ter-vu-ren Mallinois - Mal-en-wa Laekenois - Lake-en-wa Now you can At least I know which one is which. Definitely an advantage there ;) If you wanted the most relaxed out of them, from my experience and everything I've heard as well, that would be the Groens

Borzois? I've always wanted one but then I thought....what is it with me and that type of head Then there's Belgians If you like Long Coats you even get two colour varieties to choose from

There is one avertised at my vets (Port Kennedy) I would assume it would be near here (Rockingham area) Hope This Helps, BL

I am so sorry to hear of your loss Persephone, that's horrible. :D

Roxie sits at the back door and stares at me. If it at night she nudges me/licks me until I get up and let her out.

Hi everyone, also from Perth (well Port Kennedy Actually)

What rot! I'm sorry but there is no irrefutable evidence that a dog will 'thrive' on a vegetarian diet. They are not vegetarian animals. Why would someone even contemplate changing an animals natural diet just because they don't consume meat themselves? It's utterly selfish and is basically an anal act of anthropomorphic idiocy. Any normal person would feed their animal what it has been designed and has evolved (over many millenium of evolution) to eat. To do otherwise is NOT normal. I have no patience with nutjobs and fruitloops and if you look under my avatar you will notice that 'political correctness' is not my preferred stance. Exactly, who's going to start adding meat to their horses diets just because that's what they eat? It's a simple question of what an animal has evolved to eat in my opinion. I don't see wolves stalking cabbages

Roxie my 8 Month old Groen girl is like this too, she is very able to sense how a kid is feeling about her and if they are uncertain she will just try to sniff their hand allowing them to pat her. I just have to try and stop her jumping up on the more dog savvy people because she LOVES the attention.

I don't feed my dogs "tinned scraps". I feed a complete raw diet. Even when they were on dried food they still never ate tinned food. I am not accusing you (or anyone in particular) of doing so. But it's a fairly common diet for a dog, would you agree? To be quite Honest, I don't actually think I've met anyone that feeds their dog tinned food. :D Who buys this stuff?

Would that not make Birth Control Murder by the same thought process? :D

Signed! Some people really should be taken out of society so they can no longer pollute the gene pool

Wire - Roxie LOVES liver, so what I do as I didn't want her having all the rubbish in supermarket treats was make them myself. I just buy liver from the supermarket, cook it in the oven at quite a low temp until it goes solid and is easy to cut then I slice it up into the sizes I want and stick it back in the oven to dry out further until I'm happy with how crunchy/soft they are. Problem solved, Roxie gets her liver treat that she will do anything for and I know she isn't getting anything except 100% meat The only issue is that your house will really smell of liver for the day. You may not like that as much as dogs do

Whilst Belgians are beautiful dogs (I know 2 in particular whom I love) I haven't really considered them. Unfortunately my heart is set on one of these two breeds. Good luck in your decision then kiesha

Have you ever thought of a Belgian? The home you describe would be perfect for one and they would be great for what you want. Just to possibly confuse the issue for you even more
