H WDO it :)

:) Actually, his coat is NOT soft .. the ruff is quite coarse ..he's a good model - anything for attention ;)

It's been a little while .the gremlin is now old enough to spend more time with The Boss - and has had some experience with feral goats .The Boss has decided Smoke will either be brilliant - or dead , as his idea of controlling billygoats is to grab their beards ,& hang on!! Oh Dear.... he is excellent at running under bellies to get from one side of a yard to the other ..and apart from being car sick , is doing OK.

Look at them ... almost real dogs now ;)

yes, I agree - the breeder would probably have been aware . if so - then sending you a pup with problems is at the least , certainly not good practice. Glad you have sought advice from the kennel club, too. take it slow ... do some thinking ..and hope it works out for you all :)

Hi - how disappointing .I hope you have contacted the breeder- they need to be made aware- ..... I would also advise reading this . http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/262328-knuckling-over/

he was so good! :)

My hope is that the kids have now had it shown them that dogs can be dangerous .That they should NOT go poking around other folks' property , and that not everything can be fixed.it makes me sad , so many kids ( and young adults ) lack life experience . I know- many have way more than their share :( .Dogs are all seen as cute & fluffy ..respect for others, and their possessions is often lacking ... So very sad for everyone . The dogs were possibly carrying on behind that fence ... who knows how stirred up they were?

Turn sound down ..it is kinder on the ears . enjoy!!

Perhaps take your guy to flyball or something?

:) They won't get bigger faster ;) You are doing well ...just now gradually change them to a really good meat source , a good puppy formula ..and watch them eat! they must be so cute !!

Oh didn't see the kong nasty toy , sorry .

Ostrich eggs !! The perfect , enironmentally friendly treat ball!! LOL

Fair enough-

What a great update! I hope all your new grey hairs are welcomed. How very scary ????????????

that dog had its tongue caught in some sort of soft plastic ball - a 'pimple ball' , which is NOT made by KONG. It was a horrible accident. from SNOPES On 26 August 2008, the toy's manufacturer placed a notice on its site advising that the toy in question was being recalled from the market and replaced with a redesigned version: Four Paws is deeply concerned about reports of injuries suffered by some dogs as a result of a manufacturing defect in some of its Pimple Ball with Bell toys. In August 2008, we stopped shipping all potentially affected toys and implemented a recall directing all our distributors to have retailers remove them from their shelves and return them at Four Paws expense. We have since redesigned both the toys and packaging to insure this defect will not occur again. Please be assured that the safety and well being of pets is and always will be Four Paws top priority.

Scrunched paper it is!!

I always take baby pups playing in the rain :) throw treats on the wet ground ..make it FUN !

have a read here :) http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/174332-dachshund/

Pups should feed when they want .... Mum should be with them 24/7 , except for toilet breaks ..and it should just all happen naturally - demand feeding :) Are pups losing weight, or not feeding?

yes! Not his choice - think of him as a human toddler who won't do similar .. does the toddler get to make the rules? Noooo - even tho they try hard!!

Oh No Thinking of you & yours ...and hoping this morning sees much improvement .

Hope things are settling down, elliedog :)

A groomer looked all over for a dog's missing eye????????????? oh dearie me . I do hope they haven't spent much time then looking for missing testicles !!!!
