  1. Hey, bushranger- perhaps Lacey is pushing at you to think about a new dog? maybe you could start looking at these pages when they are updated- see if anything jumps out at you? CLICK HERE
  2. vet,sooner,rather than later. Maybe a different vet. A dog in so much discomfort that it will not eat needs diagnosing/treating. Hopefully another vet will perhaps suggest xrays or something to find the cause of all the pain. Best of luck .
  3. The short & sharp & shiny version ,sorry. These dogs can not be run together. the situation should be assessed by a competent behaviourist ...and you then need to act on their recommendations. This behaviour may never be 'cured'. You may well not be able to responsibly rehome your bulldog.An aggressive bull breed is not everyone's ideal.
  4. Glass??? Honestly- trying to snake proof/bee proof a dog run will be very tricky!! Snakes will fit thru tiny gaps- as will bees.Snakes can climb, as well . Cane toads- I guess they just need a barrier they cannot jump..or small mesh . I guess it will depend on the area to which you move- what gardens/parks/waterways are around ..and what th eclimate's like, as to exactly what beasties will be your neighbours . Contact the council in which you will be resident- ask on here to see if anyone lives in the vicinity ..also maybe contact a vet in the area , and ask them
  5. Hard decision... Hope all goes well, and we get to see photos ,and read about her new life ;)
  6. Hope your girl recovers fully ..poor thing- she has had a rough time ;) look at those little wolves!! Silver is just gorgeous!!
  7. My brother has my old fuji finepix 5600. Recently he went to a country race meeting...and came back with this! I think it's pretty good,all things considered
  8. ...and if he still hasn't done aything by this afternoon- the vet might be a good plan. The more faecal matter sits around inside, the dryer and harder it gets, and so on. Also- sometimes 'constipation' can be a blockage.
  9. I would not think leaving a pup that age ...new to everything, crated for upwards of 8 hours a day will help anything a pen, maybe. What size is this dog?
  10. oh Poor pup won't know if he's arfa or marfa I will also recommend some D A P spray or diffuser help... just to let him feel that everything's ok. He has been exposed to lots of physical and psychological changes over the past few weeks ;) He will pick up on your body language/stress levels too, now ... take a step to teh side and breathe
  11. Enemas are effective- however they should not be attempted without first being taught how.Lots to go wrong . I have always found HEAPS of fluid by mouth, and a dose of paraffin oil will sort things out overnight.
  12. Hi- Where did he come from? What was his daily routine? Being some months old-- any routine he had will be well entrenched, and yes, it will be hard getting him settled.
  13. You will find helpful stuff if you click here What a shame she doesn't have much play time with other dogs ... they need it when young, so they learn lots of behaviour rules ;)
  14. if he's not well, perhaps he should not be exposed to the stress of flying?
  15. What was her body language when she was 'stalking' grabbing? What was your son doing? How does she normally play around other dogs? You will find lots of useful information HERE Often when pups/dogs play they do 'set'/ stalk .. it's exactly like kids sneaking up on someone .... until they get close enough to grab! However, this is not acceptable behaviour if pup does not follow the NO TEETH on human rule My suggestion would be to get a GOOD trainer in to observe and help.....Your kids need to know how THEY are to behave around the pup as well... it is not only the pup who needs rules .
  16. I just G88gled this Gives you an idea- I guess more would be in the companion animal act ? Seems as if being declared would need more than one fight , anyway.
  17. Shiba.... Hmmm.. I do like the look of them Well Done on your spotting!
  18. Yayyy.. he may well be on meds to get rid of fluid- so may pee a lot more anyway Lots of little yard trips SO glad he is home again!!
  19. he may want a pee- or he more likely, can hear a cat/possum on its regular patrol he does his "chase off the intruder" duty...and roars back indoors . ???? Don't know , but am going for the simple answer first :D
  20. Our working dogs are all outside. House dogs are inside mostly. No real 'walks' here- ... I have had dogs in the city..and done the 2X daily walks rain hail or shine ..up at 5 am to walk etc before work.... never again.I enjoyed it then ..but .... Now,I much prefer to have the dogs happy to interact as a 'pack'...with me as overseer I like that the dogs aren't fussed when I go anywhere...that their routine is solid without me! I will never again have a dog to whom I am centre of the universe (unless I have need of an assistance dog one day) I love having dogs around...and enjoy their company,but do not love being their world
  21. I never leave food out And when they do get fed...there certainly is nothing much left for flies/mice/birds !!
  22. Hmmm... as they are ithout a mum- and are 3 weeks..I would be popping in a section or two of lambshank or large beef bone, with a little meat on it ! They may need more sucking action than they are getting...this way they will suck on chunks/slivers of meat attached to the bone...also they will mouth/suck the bone! Very much welcomed activity for developing jaws/skulls,and for little brains
