  1. Yep! It was preferable ( at the time) to getting her spayed and it was worked really well - the 1 Year implant lasted for about 2 years and she's only just come back into season now. I've re-implanted a 1 Year dose and she seems fine. Having had a chat with my vet though it seems Suprelorin works 50-50 in bitches - and it's a lucky thing it's work in my bitch. Apart from the weight gain, it's been awesome! No side effects, no season, no nothing! Good luck!
  2. Awesome awesome awesome.... still love your pics and saving up money to buy some prints for my dining room wall!!! When are you coming over to WA??? Website is fantastic - looks great!
  3. It's super easy - over here the CGC is run by the Canine Association to encourage people to train their dogs up in basic obedience and manners - you learn stuff like sit, drop, recall, shop stop and a few others. Then there's a test and you get a certificate!! It's good fun and easy on the pocket, your dog and you get to bond and pick up some basic skills and enjoy a nice morning out!
  4. Wow, awesome pics!!! Ditto the 'please come visit Perth' post!!!!!!!! I'm sure you can make even my 2 boofas look glamorous!
  5. Wow, that's one HUGE sheep!! I wonder how her skinny legs can hold her up! Would love to see updates for when her babies come.
  6. Ohmigod, cute little lambkins and great pics too! Well done! Looking forward to more as they grow - would be awesome to see how the wee spotty one turns out when she? he? gets big.
  7. Agreed... I had my boy on it and he didn't stack on that much weight and returned to full fertility no problems.. But my bitch is on it now - 1 year dose - and she's a porker! Well, a porker from her skinny days.... ;)
  8. I saw CHARCHE toooooooo!!!! Channel 7 Sunday night.... I was too busy screaming his name.... :D Love your photos... :D
  9. They're sooo cute! I'm getting my stash now.
  10. Thanks for that, the place sounds awesome... I'll try to have a look- see sometime soon! Always nice to know that there are places that our furry pals can go have a good time at and we don't have to worry too much about! Cheers, StaffordsYo!

  12. Hey, I'm also considering Natural Paws so any thoughts you have after your visit would be much appreciated!
  13. Hey Mike, Welcome to DOL, good to see you on here.. where are the pics of Astro?? Cool name by the way... Re: your questions, basically if you don't train Astro NOT to chew the stuff in your house/garden, or give him other diversions then getting another Stafford will only mean both of them will start working as a team to chew up anything else that's available.... trust me.. I know. Having said that - 2 well-trained Staffords will keep each other company when you're not around..... Good luck!
  14. Ohmigod!!!! I had a good laugh at these photos.... if looks could kill.... Well done guys, some GREAT pics!
  15. Jeez, those are some awesome action shots!!! Definitely gazelle somewhere in Asha!!! Love the shadow shot! I had a good laugh at that!
  16. OOOOPS!!!! Totally forgot it was on this weekend!!!!!!!!! I might have to pass with my fat lazy Stafford and just come in for a drink and a chat instead.
  17. Same here, let me know when you're going to be at the K9 and I'll drop by and give you the money or conversely i could EFT you. Let me know! This is SOOOO exciting!!!!
  18. Tiggy has ordered mediums for her kids Ok, well, confirm the 3 mediums and throw in 1 large just for fun! YAY!! And I wasn't sure but if you need a WA distributor, I'll do it, and I'll even test every ball to make sure they work!
  19. Oooh, squeaky balls!!! Put me in for 3 medium squeakies.. that should be the right size for a Stafford yeah?
  20. Ok, so I have nothing to post, but just wanted to say this is AWESOME!!! Keep those great photos coming!!!!!
  21. That can be a bit late , sometimes ..esp if swelling is rapid onset. Glad Boofa is ok now Once they have signs of breathing difficulties they can be going into anaphylactic shock. Death can be a short time away! Don't mean to scare you, if she just had a swollen muzzle then yes wait it out, maybe, but a swollen tounge - definate vet. They usually give them antihistamine and cortisone as mentioned earlier. Makes the swelling go down much more quickly and makes the dog comfortable quicker. Ok... thanks for that... I will remember that in the future... I didn't realise that a swollen tongue meant far worse than what I thought... THANKS!!!!!!! I hope the bees or whatever bug bit her won't come back again.
  22. Thanks for all the posts! I really appreciate the advice. I decided to wait it out with the antihistamine and apart from looking like a Shar Pei for a period of time and having an identity crisis.... Boofa is all back to normal now ( no more swelling at all!) and happily chewing away at her toy! I did keep an eye on her and would have rushed her to the vet if she had displayed any signs of breathing difficulty. I'm just one of those people who will panic at the smallest thing and I didn't want the vet to think I'm over paranoid! But thanks thanks thanks for your comments, I will keep it all in mind and appreciate that you took the time to post and help me out. Cheers StaffordsYo!
  23. Ok, didn't know Benadryl was good for these things.. I gave her a dog antihistamine.... some left over from another allergic reaction. But it's been about 2 more hours and she's still looks like a Shar Pei! Only time will tell I suppose! Thanks for your help, will look into getting some Benadryl sometime this evening!
  24. Hey there peeps, Just wondering if you'd be able to help, or at least assuage my worries... It started out with a swollen lopsided tongue, but now my little girl Boof has a swollen muzzle, and lips. Her tongue is still a little swollen too. She seems to be in no pain/ discomfort and is sleeping soundly at my feet at the moment. I'm thinking it's either a bee sting or allergic reaction - though what she would have reacted to I dont know as nothing has changed in her environment. So I'm leaning more toward a naughty bug. Anyway, I've given her an antihistamine (20 minutes ago) and am hoping the swelling will go down. If it does...... should i be worried and rush her to the vet? Could there be any other reason why she'd have a swollen muzzle? If anyone's had any similar experiences, or could help, that would be great! THANKS! Cheers, StaffordsYo!
