  1. By "they" do you mean Saints or Bernese, or both? Anyway neither breed is too difficult to maintain. A thorough brush once a week is enough to remove dead coat and keep any tangles under control. At the moment I'm brushing Sumo every day but that's purely so he gets used to it. I often let Moose go longer than a week if I'm being a bit slack, and there's never an issue with matting. Thanks. I did mean saints. Some pics I've seen of them they seem to have a lot of hair and some seem a lot more sleek. Sumo is absolutely gorgeous and looks very cuddly. I did see a Bernese pup at dog club a few months ago and he was gorgeous too.
  2. Oh my goodness! He is gorgeous! Do they require a lot of grooming?
  3. My Airedale doesn't seem to drop hair, but he definitely brings in lots of leaves , sticks, flowers and buds. My approach is that the next house should have no trees. :D Fluffy cats create more hair mess than my dogs do.
  4. <br /><br /><br />They can be distracting for him...if two start barking or starting to play he wants to be involved. Or if one next to him breaks their stay he may too. I can usually keep his attention with food. Towards the end of class I had him sitting in front of me focused on me while dogs were hurrying by in close proximity and he stayed calm and focused. I think him running increases his excitement. I have not tried a fast heel at home yet. If I don't do the fast pace with everyone else's s was just walk normally he is no where near as bad and if he does get a bit revved up is at least easier to control. So I think working up to it will be good to try. Thanks all.
  5. Thanks. I will try that. Though he does sometimes get silly just seeing dogs around him running! He's a bit special.
  6. Thanks. He does stay with me during normal and slow paces.
  7. Hi, I have been doing obedience with Hamish since last Oct. He is very smart and knows what to do but results vary depending on how cheeky he is feeling on the day (Airedale!) My problem is when we are told to switch to a "fast pace". He absolutely loses the plot, thinks it is playtime and goes after other dogs. I think I got whiplash today when he yanked me hard after one. I know it is a terrier thing to chase, but geez! Any advice as to what I can do about this?

    It is usually $30
  9. Airedales are very smart and easy to train, but they are also extremely cheeky and like to push buttons or do things their own way. I do obedience with mine and he is really good...until it comes time for the test then he plays up! From photos I've seen welsh terriers look a bit wider in the face.
  10. Yeah. I think they issued a release about it but not to do more is really bad. Particularly when you pay so much. B
  11. Is that the D600? Ive heard a lot of people have had oil problems with that one
  12. Wow...if only I had money... Can I asked why you changed? I have read that the D800e is an amazing camera
  13. FB recently instituted a system whereby people with pages had to pay if they wanted their likers to see every single post. They also have ads going down the side of the page which you also need to pay for
  14. There was a bunch of people posting the other day along the lines of - who cares where the money goes as long it goes to a needy dog? I personally would care if I donated, but still as you say who knows where it goes. Dodgy!

    Remote

    Thanks. I've seen a lot on ebay but was worried they might be bad. I guess if they are really cheap it won't matter too much
  16. Can anyone recommend a good remote for a Nikon D40x ? I saw a couple on amazon with good reviews but apparently they won't ship them here
  17. except for the one she said she had ETA, I don't really have an opinion either way but it does seem like the conversation is going around in circles. I do think more should be done to eliminate hereditary problems in Shar Pei. Too many breeders are more concerned about looks, I can think of examples of some unethical ones listed on DOL. The majority of ones that end up in pounds seem to have problems. While a lot of them would be BYBs, I am sure not all of them are. I was looking at a breeder's page the other day - extremely rolly dogs whose eyes needed to be tacked because they couldn't see. While extreme rolls are really cute there are some studies that say the more rolls, the more chance of it getting Shar Pei Fever. Surely these sorts of things should be taken into account But Yes, there are good breeders as well.
  18. A friend fosters with DRN and is enjoying it. I think Hunter Animal Rescue are good too
  19. No I don't either. They get from me ...oi...cut it out! Mine get told - in your own time. They stop :) That drives me insane. Had to kick my dog out of the room because he wouldn't stop. But then he just laid down right outside and I could still hear him do it. He licks everyone but me. He just wipes his big nose on me. My Shar pei though does little licks and it doesn't bother me.
