  1. L G the place usually looks like a toy abbatoir as it is ... little skins & bits everywhere They would enjoy it though .Don & Smoke have a wonderful time pulling things apart ;)
  2. Yes, they said - Kong Wobblers are good . Too Easy ? yes, they said - put in some crumpled paper . much better . NOT Don entertained himself this morning ....
  3. And using tools the wrong way makes them harder to use the correct way should you need them later. It never ever hurts to ask for help from a good trainer. yes. Esp the GOOD trainer bit ;) ajj - ask on here , give us a rough location , and I'm sure someone will be recommended for you :)
  4. Femoral head removal - yep , I have seen dogs with that done ..instant relief , and a very good recovery/quality of life . Amazing to see, actually !
  5. new toy!! Sleeepppp I TOLD you - do NOT do that again!! puppy appeal ...
  6. Rotten job - but someone has to do it > Be Calm training .....
  7. there are various types of grapevine - probably orange trees, then a background of native mallee . Always looks so pretty :)
  8. Yesterday, The Boss made a spiffy new puppy kennel for the scruffers , and they were moved in earlier today Poor Dulcie can now have some time alone ..they sought her out, wherever she tried to get some peace .. ( see first photo! poor girl) ..she has an access panel so she gets to choose when she visits.and they can start learning about what being bush dogs is all about .
  9. SPRING - vines/trees around town are all sprouting new growth .
  10. OK - maybe contact UNDERDOG training or INline k9 both are very professional and D O L members . as to muzzles - ...maybe look at these JAFCO ones ? LINK having a muzzle on , as you know, will not change your dog's attitude ....he will still be aggressive , and strong, and a risk. have you tried him with a collar instead of a harness ?
  11. they are , none of them, meek & mild (except maybe the little Princess Womble, black one ) ! Everyone is climbing/running/dragging others around by the ears ....barking at birds..... *sigh* working dogs :)
  12. No ...I am already getting "the ' look
  13. They are growing nicely ...tomorrow I MUST build a pen . They are everywhere - and 5 free ranging is 4 too many accidents waiting to happen.Their mum will be a bit miffed - she enjoys this MUCHFOOD happening idea ;) No more special treats - working her down over the next couple of weeks to no more cheese /cream /turkey necks .......it's THEIR turn now :)
  14. BIG day today - eating food and drinking water :) Not a problem with either I like easy weaning! Merle princess womble - and Smoke merle Puddenhead
  15. So - apart from throwing up every time he travels in the Boss's 4WD - he is doing OK .Yesterday was "sitting on the motorbike without wriggling" day ...and eventually he got the idea - . At one stage , The Boss dropped him off into the prickles - just to show him he had a choice ...Smoke decided the Motorbike was a wiser bet . He shared the petrol tank with Indi ..who sort of stood/sat over him , and apparently was OK for the next 5 hrs or so of work time . The only , ermmm.... problem was when he stood up, nose pointed, paws on the handlebars , tail wagging ... and ready to go ... The Boss thought , by some miracle, he had a 'goat finder'..but, no - it was Apostlebirds , who Smoke chases /barks at here in the yard all the time . oops. :oThe Boss is being quite patient :)
  16. I also suggest speaking with whoever bred your pugs :)
