persephone

Yes, he looks very much at one with life...and with such a smooth gait!( and green frisbee) lol

That would have been terrifying . No question. That poor man .

I find this odd, but much more comfortable, and the dog's behaviour much more natural than the poor things with hind limbs only. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3776024569106286&id=217293018312810

I'll put in a couple of teasers http://www.australianphotography.com/news/it-s-a-dog-s-life-winning-images-from-the-kennel-club-s-dog-photographer-of-the-year-competition#disqus_thread

"Not a rock star" love it!! Thanks for the update .

No ... they are sight hounds, with high prey drives - bred to chase fast moving smaller animals . The muzzles are to stop them using their jaws on some fast moving small fluffy ...

Fingers and paws crossed here as well for her...

I know that pattern ! he will continue to lick ..cos they itch/hurt . He's not trying to sneak ...he can't help it .

has he always been on the roo meat ?

My first thought was some sort of seizure .... but I have no qualifications to back that up . thanks for the videos ....

I'm going to suggest he wear boots when outside get some decent, well fitted ones ..not just rubbery ones which will sweat . If his feet do not have as much contact with grass .. theoretically , the inflammation should settle . the other point is that he may just be a compulsive licker/chewer when home alone . is he alone while you're at work ? Do you see him go for his feet at any particular times ? ..or does he not bother ?

you are a committed and experienced dog person ...and know both the breed, and what is needed . That is what makes it work for her

Hard to tell just from that Infection is more likely to produce pain, swelling, redness, smell,yucky discharge...dog not feeling 100%. More saliva can be produced if there's a delicious scent around, or if dog is a bit warmer than usual....

I wouldn't worry...that's pretty normal

Instinct rules!!

Because the birds living along the river where we are often leave carcasses lying around, or fishermen throw away the carp which are not allowed to be returned to the water

Pudden rolls in all sorts...dead fish are a favourite.

How satisfying for you, and how life changing for all your pups.

Awww...what a good girl

Oh Lordy ... the exquisite delight taken rolling in human waste , then? !!!!!!

Just thinking.... as Dad isn't yet convinced, as your cats, and children haven't had to live with a dog ..what about applying to be foster parents to rescue/shelter dogs - short term, perhaps? That way you have the support of the shelter, are doing a fantastic service, helping a dog, and deciding if a dog will fit in your household It's a big decision ...what can I offer a pup/dog , and which pup/dog best suits what I DO have to offer ? we have a list of breeds with their particulars /notes on their needs, and suitability for families, first time owners etc , if you click HERE

THIS is very important . everyone needs to be on the same page , or it's not only a puppy who suffers . have a read of the following link, too LINK Dogs will dig/bark etc if they are untrained/bored. There isn't a 'breed' as such . Pups are similar to human youngsters in their needs! warmth/food/human company ...as much learning as can be fitted into a day , security, love, and discipline.

Don't forget animals bring owners . owners who are absolutely distraught . owners who are about to be told their animal has x number of weeks to live owners who need a stern lecture on animal care owners who are often guilty of 'spoiling' their animal and helping it to an unhealthy state . Then there are the owners who are elderly , and alone, and who bring their only companion to 'the doctor' , who can not cure it . They leave with an empty cage/leash ..and go back to an empty little flat ...this is after it's been ascertained they are OK to leave on their own . The emergencies after incidents involving cars or other things ...trying to piece animals back together The emergency caesarians ..having puppies and/or mothers not make it . great job.

Aren't they stunning! Powerful and handsome here's hoping they do not get into the wrong hands ..crossbred and in trouble .....

yayyyyy :D
