I have some more reading for you - yes, you will probably take him - but it will help you to be very aware of what may happen - before it does! CLICK HERE excerpt : and CLICK HERE excerpt: Now you've done puppy class - what about other classes , where you both can meet & greet & learn :) ?

..LOL My bet is , that if you let him explore a dog park - those manly peeing and noticing female behaviours will magically appear! It doesn't take much to kick things off . What has been said I will re iterate - it is not 'other dogs' who will teach him manners .... he also doesn't really need to race around with strange dogs at the park - if you are taking him to classes , he will get to see and interact with, other dogs there - and you can also practice your control :) have you read this about "socialisation" ?

Ta, Jumabaar ... that makes sense folks would feel they were still feeding enough. :)

It may be a mishap when she was vacc'd - perhaps it hit a muscle ..and is felling rotten and sore ?

LOL ... very nice way to spend an evening :) ..and what willing assistants !

i don't understand - why don't owners just feed the dog 1/3, or 1/2 less of normal food ? It'd work fine ..AND cost an awful lost less ;)

T- don't say nice things , just makes me put up another photo! :p

last one for today - promise ;) It is so nice tho to have a dog who I can send somewhere, who will stop, and stay for enough time for me to go "click" at least ;) .....

uh-Oh - don sleeps in a 44 gallon drum (which is under cover , and is supplied with plenty of pillows/blankets which he re organises to his liking .)

Not experienced - but this doesn't sound a match made in heaven - Someone with much more experience will be along to help you :)

ahhhh :D thanks. Thought there must be a logical reason :p

Frost? :laugh: LOL. NO idea - there are the odd single white hairs appearing on other bits of body as well.................................. Hmmmm....

Baylee was a lovely looking girl :)

:) dogs will be dogs .....bet she smells nicer now .

that looks very nasty. It certainly looks infected, whatever it is . At first glance it looks like folliculitis which has been lurking for some time .... Hopefully the antibiotics will start to settle it down soon! meanwhile, I suggest a good diet - maybe an ester C supplement , and small amounts of things like plain yoghurt, egg, oily sardines - if he is not getting them already . Oh :) and a face wipe/wash in calendula tea may help soothe and heal .It will also help control bacteria/spores , etc ....

Hamlet, aka Honey-Bunch Beautiful boy! he was , indeed ..and I miss him every day.

and Hamlet - just to show the difference/similarity ...

V M - :)

Koolies do it well ;)

their colouring was very similar ..but Hamlet had no undercoat .., and longer ears because of the cocker mum , I guess

grumpette - I guess so :)

Oh..and Don now has white hairs on his ears! ..almost salt&pepper!!! Weird. You can see it sort of glistening in that top fuzzy ear pic :)

especially since it is really only the second time the pups have been introduced to strangers! I was impressed :) their mum has been known to climb in a guest's swag on a cold night - giving folks a very rude shock! ;)

Today Ess, Don & their mum found some very willing dog cuddlers ;) we had visitors ....
