there are some very cute`puppies on this page !

Hamlet then Hamlet Now

warm the nozzle first make it a training thing.. with a treat for being still, and a treat immediately drops are deposited/rubbed in . Sitting is preferable , obviously, so the drops don't run out when dog is flipped over ;) practice a couple times a day without the drops... sit/treat. Fiddle with ear .. insert finger slightly /treat, rub ear/treat. repeat on other side It becomes tolerable .

;) which is why my dogs get opshop blankets etc.. then they are discarded after some time

If she is actually showing bare hairless skin - a vet visit might be in order .

Wishing your gorgeous old girl all the best for her op

a mostly wedding and food one ,belonging to a friend of mine. a wildlife one - Andy Rouse an australian one - steve parrish That's all

A vet visit as soon as possible after collecting a pup is what I recommend to people That way , a check can be done - vet will see pup in a good and healthy state first - with no ouchie needles or anything ..and if you ask for a thorough check including teeth/bite, testicles, dewclaws etc .. then anything out of the ordinary can be noted and you can ask your breeder. The breeder 'should' give you all sorts of information pertaining to feeding, vaccinations, general health care , and more specific things. They may also give you some of the food they use to help settle pup in

Rotten Job- but someone's gotta do it :p :)

It made me laugh...

:D

What daily walking/training does she get? Sounds like she really needs something to do !

It's not just that 'trying to wag tail/turn inside out with joy/walk in a straightlineatthesametime' walk? that often ends up with a curvy dog

teela - 'alpha rolls' are when a human forcibly grabs their dog and pushes/rolls it over on its side/back - holding it there,as a form of discipline. it is NOT teaching dogs to play dead, or present a body area for treatment :)

Beardies can be very bouncy , yes! Bouv's are not for everyone .. but can be just lovely.

Not large, by any means , but One I would love if I ever had the money/opportunity LAGOTTO have a look HERE at the breed`sub-forums for heaps of info on different breeds Good luck with teh search.

Vet Check? At his age, there may be reasons he can not hang on all night anymore.... if he has no bladder/prostate etc problems , and is not drinking excessively , then you can look at options.

Like this

you may want to write this in a manner which indicates that they are dogs ....

I am very glad Wally is safe , and hope Diva will be found soon .

jrm88 - good explanation and first hand experience

Vacuum. Covers for wherever dog is crated/tethered.

it's a big 'should' .....what is a 'full' life? Quantity or quality? Sorry you were upset at the breeder's thoughts ..... it doesn't sound as if you are on the same wavelength. I hope all goes well for you & your pup ..thinking of you and Coco. I will say though, if it happened to a pup of mine, I would love it and spoil it and give it its wings when life quality started to deteriorate.

"everyone", as in humans? That doesn't count. ;)The dogs work it out themselves, and they understand each other's place. ..and their dogs are probably not at all happy, either.

A lot of humans ,for some weird reason, do find humping funny ... probably , if they were playing , it's just excitement. it could also be her showing him that she is (or wants to be, ) boss.
