It's way too cute when they have those really fun dreams, isn't it?

I think the one who needs training right now is Mum... err!

Stunning photo of 2 stunning dogs... I just want to cuddle them both!

Backyard bred dogs tend to come with poor temperaments anyway

I'd probably qualify the above with something more along the lines of "backyard bred, undersocialised, and undertrained dogs tend to develop poor temperaments anyway"

Not all backyard bred dogs are going to be problem dogs - it really does come down to getting out what you put in - well bred dogs can be nasty little things when owned by idiots too...

T.

They aren't always cute... it's the nice camera that takes good photos that makes them look cute... *grin*

You are welcome to come play with my babies anytime too ruthless...

T.

I'm gonna stick my neck out here and bet that the BF gets a new puppy for Christmas... grrr!

T.

I asked the husband, but he said no.

Well... you could lose the husband... then get another dog.... haha!

T.

How about a Beagle pup I ♥ Bindi~Boo?? I have a couple of those as fosters too... and they are pure Beagle (no pedigree though - puppy farm mum)...

T.

those extremely cute beagle pups keep popping up where ever I go! I seriously need to hide from Tdierikx's posts.......... tells self *cannot possibly get a second dog atm*

Two dogs are twice as much fun and cuddling... I should know - never less than 2 here (currently have 3 pups, 1 adolescent, and 2 adult dogs)

T.

The best puppy toys are really cheap... empty toilet rolls or paper towel rolls are a big fave with all of my fosters! Then there are plastic soft drink bottles - they LOVE those! You can get a small Coke bottle, put a little bit of uncooked rice in the bottom, tighten the lid, and roll it on the floor for hours of fun... lol!

Willow gets on fine with my Lab and my Rotti X... *grin*

How about a Beagle pup I ♥ Bindi~Boo?? I have a couple of those as fosters too... and they are pure Beagle (no pedigree though - puppy farm mum)...

T.

I used to work 12 hour shifts - with 45 mins traveling time on either end of that... my dogs can hold on for ages... lol!

T.

Lucky I saw where little Pumpkin was before you left Astred... lol!

T.

Welcome to the wonderful world of puppy ownership... poos and all... lol!

He's gorgeous!!

T.

Yes - Willow is a rescue foster puppy - and she has 2 pure beagle fosters sisters as well...

Willow was a surrender (I don't ask why any more - people are crazy), and the beagles were born in rescue from a dog rescued in a puppy farm evacuation.

The scruffy dog is also a foster...

T.

I have a Cavalier pup in foster care at the moment - would you like to see pics of her too? She is very pretty... almost as pretty as Georgea... almost... she's definitely not as well bred...

T.

I think we have a convert... lol!

Divine photos! Nice big healthy pups you got there!

T.

Too cute, how do you give them up?

It's not really that hard to hand them over to their specially chosen new families... only the best homes are chosen for my fosters... *grin*

T.

I have lots of cute puppy pics... one of the perks of fostering pups for rescue... *grin*

Wooden floors - may have been stained/polished at one time... *grin*... currently covered by Labrador fur...

T.

The best time to take graveyard photos is at night... *grin*... When I was young, me and a friend used to wander the streets around Naremburn and Crows Nest - there was a nice little old cemetery there that we took some cool photos in...

My mum got some awesome photos on her mobile phone at the old quarantine station at north head - so that is definitely on my list...

There are some nice little churches around Luddenham and Bringelly and Rossmore area...

T.

Maybe you could set up some poles for weaving in the back yard, and possibly over a bit of time, add something new, like a tunnel, or jump... I reckon you and Dylan might have some fun trying some of the agility stuff...

Oh - and "roll over" is a bugger of a trick to teach - try that one... or teach him to go get the paper or your slippers... lol!

T.

Hmmm... and only pure breed dogs attack... ??

I wonder if the statistics might reflect a different story if the mixed breed dog attacks were correctly identified as what they actually were?

T.

If the pup had coccidia, did the vet give it Baycox (or something similar)?

How is he doing now? Hopefully he's well on the mend and is a happy and healthy ball of cheek... *grin*

Don't worry too much about the toilet training and little wet accidents - I've had quite a few male pups who have had no concept of going out for wees for a while - he should probably be doing his poos where you want him to by now though...

I have had 2 Rotti pups pass away from Parvo some years back - and both of them also tested positive for Von Willebrand Disease - the fact that they don't clog as fast as others means that a haemorrhagic disorder like Parvo/Corona is more likely to cause death if the bleeding can't be stopped quickly. VWD seems to be fairly prevalent in some German breeds...

T.

Get well sweet little man... your Mummy needs you...

T.

IF hadn't of stepped in and just let my dogs sort it out then I would have had a dead dog.

Same here... mine are now permanently separated...
