Thats sort of what happened to my dog, all was good, I check her teeth regularly, then I noticed her breath started stinking, looked in her mouth her back tooth was cracked like a bit sheared off up into the gum line the consensus was it probably happened on a hard marrow bone I gave her the way a bit was sheared off the side. She only gets soft briskets now. The tooth went bad very fast, really green.

The vet I use charges exactly like this, Dental consumable? $33.00, Dental nerve block $35.00 , Dental scale and Polish $162.00 , Teeth extraction per minute $30.00 I'm not sure what a Dental consumable is that's worth $33.00 but my dog had a teeth clean and a tooth out and it was $135 just to have the tooth out. Like 4 and a bit minutes! editing in late; All up it cost me $365 and was one tooth out.

I'd personally love to see The 'Australian Bulldog' as a fully recognized breed name, not the other name which will happen in due time. I just don't like it. Bulldogs are meant to be national identities any way, British, French, Spanish etc. But Cao de Bou sounds cool enough for the Spanish one since it's Catalan for Bulldog anyhow. I love em, but I personally wouldn't call them Bosdogs. That might be what they are on paper, but all and sundry would hear me call them by the name featuring national pride.

I dont know a single person who calls Australian Bulldogs Australasian Bossdogs, If it was Bulldog the ANKC was concerned about they may as well give french bulldogs the flick as well!

It's great news, and , does this make the Huntaway NZ's national dog now? All of Australias national kennel council recognized origin breeds were working dogs and so were the other 'un recognised' ones. in time the Huntaway should just be accepted as making a good pet too like all are in Australia.

Who ever can look after them the best should get them after a marriage/partnership break up, It's really sad the power trippers using pets/kids/ what ever to 'get back' at the other. Leave them the hell out of it, be civil end the karma, and begin a new life..

Clone back woolly mammoths instead and stick them all on a woolly mammoth island.

NDAD sounds good to me, might shut the Breed bashing pitbull haters up. ( Yeah right) and open there eyes to what is really happening. DOGS ACTUALLY HAVE TEETH AND SOME WILL BITE provoked or otherwise. Saw a cartoon about someone loosing there mojo, they dropped it down a wombat hole, comment says 'bloody wombats'. Like how dare they have a hole.

I'd see the dingo a protected species Australia wide.

Great story! I think because these dogs are so human centric and people focused they will if they could bend over backwards to help any people if it's possible, I remember a few years ago the Pittie who alerted it's owners and neighbours to his house burning down in Tasmania, seemed a lot more than just a panicked dog raising an alarm. It seemed concerned for the people around him.

No I don't have breed loyalty, I do really like chihuahuas over most others though, they are very practical dogs.

He should get a 3 min spot on 10's the project, give something for the mindless TV addicts to raise an eyebrow and nod in agreement over.

I don't understand people screaming and hollering and swearing at the dogs to shut up when they just give a couple barks when I walk past with my dog, they make more noise than the bloomin dog does

I had to train my dog to leave certain animals, same way as stockproofing dogs, never had a cane toad incident yet since being in Qld, the bell is a good idea for birds, mine caught a couple pigeons early on and I would come home to a pile of feathers now maggies just walk around her lol.

I can see Kunglaos reason, I think the dog is lucky to just be punched! Whats it to a criminal trying to get away whether he hurts or kills a dog? I would have thought that's in a a crims job description to get away by any means necessary, violence against animals included.

Stiffies, Kelpies, German shepherds and crosses of them are the 3 most numerous type of dogs in my area. And quite a few Chihuahuas too. Cooloola Coast.

I hope the councils take up the invitation!

That is one lucky dog! Edit, well not lucky he was bit obviously, but you know what I mean

Looks awesome!

Very sad , these things get to me, just because someone in a blue uniform feels scared or intimidated they whip out a gun and kill

Now Perverts have them UNMANNED aircraft used to spy on enemies in war zones are now being deployed to monitor private and public property and to perv on unsuspecting Queenslanders. Unregistered and unlicensed drones costing as little as $800 on the internet are being used to beam back spy video of women on beaches and areas ordinarily hidden from prying eyes. Legitimate operators want the authorities to ground the rogue drones but the privacy commissioner says there are no rules in his armoury to take them down. Queensland's acting Privacy Commissioner Lemm Ex, who told The Courier-Mail he expected more drones to be used in the state for legitimate crime detection, urban planning and search and rescue, said he could not stop private rogue operators. "There is no privacy law in Australia that will deal with one neighbour using a drone to survey another,'' Mr Ex said. "There may be non-privacy laws which apply but it remains that the use of drones by individuals is not currently regulated by privacy law. "And anybody with $1000 can deploy a surveillance system.'' Legitimate companies and agencies, such as police and mining and power companies, are also using the technology. "Anecdotally there is strong consideration for the use of drones in Queensland for everything from surf lifesavers to patrol Queensland beaches to specific crime-fighting activities,'' Mr Ex said. "One of the reasons why drones could be an attractive option for agencies is that the technology is both now eminently affordable and relatively sophisticated. "Where drones differ slightly from the now familiar fixed camera surveillance systems is their potential for short one-off surveillance and the fact that geography is no boundary. "There is an easier capacity for drones to survey what has traditionally been considered as personal spaces such as private property.'' He said if government agencies used drones they would have to comply with the Information Privacy Act's privacy principles. One of Queensland's 11 licensed drone operators has written to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority asking for intervention to stop the unregistered spy planes. Eric de Saint Quentin of Aerial Pix said drones were being abused by unlicensed operators who were buying the aircraft from the internet. "People are flying UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) ... and are not qualified. Some are using them on women sunbaking at the beach,'' he said. He said his company was doing surveillance for mining companies and power companies in southeast Queensland but for operational reasons would not name the businesses. He said some surveillance was done in built-up areas. He said the companies requested the drones for security reasons or for maintenance. A live feed goes straight to the companies and the footage was not accessed by his business, he said. A spokesman for CASA said action could be taken against unlicensed drone operators but evidence was needed. CASA requires a drone operator to have a controller's certification and certificate. Drone pilots require general aviation knowledge in line with a private pilot's licence, and specific unmanned aircraft skills. Drones cannot be used for recreational use. http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/unmanned-aircraft-bought-online-being-deployed-to-monitor-private-and-public-property/story-fnihsrf2-1226707858451

They were told, they knew what was going to happen! And what is still to eventuate. I distinctly remember someone on here years ago mapping out exactly how things would unfold word for word, including the dogsvic judges would some day walk away.

Yeah this diplomat sounds like an A grade a****h**** to me too. The benevolent vet said he would treat the dog and collect the euth and cremation fee as the dog may still yet be PTS. Suing for breach of contract my backside. Sounds like he's got a smartypants attitude problem from someone who had a crack at studying contract law once upon a time. The maid paid knowing the dog was being treated so the contract then changed. Theres no way he would be a long time resident anyway, those positions only last 2 maybe 3 years before they bugger off to the middle east or somewhere else. edit, and he should give the dog back to the vet.

The dog is probably far better off in the UK than had he been allowed here any way..... Great to read about that organisation, I had never heard of them before.

Sounds citycentric, and even then not in any way feasible to outlaw crossbreeding in cities let alone the whole of Australia. Should've, would've, could've, if's, but's and maybe's are just not fact is's. Fact is's are dogs can be a danger when they are mismanaged and that's about it.
