https://www.adn.com/outdoors-adventure/iditarod/2018/03/08/this-sled-dog-is-a-weirdo-plus-4-other-huskies-running-the-iditarod/ Iditarod This sled dog is a ‘weirdo,’ plus 4 other huskies running Iditarod TAKOTNA — Hundreds of sled dogs are racing across Alaska right now in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Sometimes, they're traveling through deep snow. Sometimes they're running through open water. And sometimes, they're at checkpoints, just curled up on straw, sleeping. Meet five of the sled dogs that took a break Wednesday in the village of Takotna, at Mile 329 of the 1,000-mile trail. 1. DRIVER Driver is the first dog to get excited about leaving a checkpoint, said musher Aliy Zirkle of Two Rivers. Sure, maybe he's not the sharpest dog on the trail. But he's amiable and he just loves to run. "He is dumb as a box of rocks," Zirkle said, cupping her hands over Driver's ears in an effort to prevent him from hearing the insult. "But he loves being a sled dog. He like loves doing what he does. He's the understated team player." Driver, a dog in Aliy Zirkle’s team. (Loren Holmes / ADN) This is 5-year-old Driver's third Iditarod. Zirkle said he first raced with her husband, Allen Moore, who runs the kennel's "JV team" in the Iditarod. Zirkle promoted Driver to the varsity team. "He just wants to go," she said. "I don't know what's in him that makes him do that. I don't know. He's not trained to do that. He just likes to run." 2. GEL Gel, one of Kelly Maixner’s dogs. (Loren Holmes / ADN) Gel sort of has a split personality. One second, she wants love. The next minute she's growling and showing her teeth, leading you to think she could "bite your face off" if she wanted to, said musher Kelly Maixner of Big Lake. [Mushers say the Iditarod can be saved. Here's how] "That's the funny thing about her," he said. "You go up there and she starts licking your face, but then she'll growl at you two seconds later. She's very growly, but she'd never bite. It's just her personality." Maixner said 4-year-old Gel is an upbeat leader and always "ready to go." She's just, well, a bit complicated. "She's a weirdo," he said. "She's crazy." This is Gel's second Iditarod. 3. RANGER Ranger, an 8-year-old dog in Jessie Royer’s team. (Loren Holmes / ADN) At 8 years old, Ranger is fearless, said Iditarod musher Jessie Royer, who splits her time between Fairbanks and Montana. "He's one of my main, number one lead dogs that will go through anything. No matter what kind of crap weather — wind, whiteouts, drifts — whatever we run into on the coast, he goes," she said. "He's just an amazing dog." Ranger has already run the Iditarod several times. If he's anything like his mom, he has a few more races in him. Ranger's mother, Kuling, finished her last Iditarod at age 12, Royer said. 4. BROWN Brown, one of Charley Bejna’s lead dogs. (Loren Holmes / ADN) Brown the sled dog is actually black and white. "She's from a 'bear' litter," said musher Charley Bejna. "So I had four dogs — Black, Brown, Grizzly and Kodiak." Brown, age 5, is Bejna's first pick for a lead dog. She's smart, quiet, hardworking and "a real sweetheart," he said. "In all my races, she's my go-to," he said. "She's going to make the decisions pretty much for all of us. If she's tired, I know everybody else is — because she's definitely a go-getter." [Her last great race? Why Iditarod icon DeeDee Jonrowe is going home] Brown has run three or four Iditarods, said Bejna, who splits his time between Illinois and Knik. He didn't always know Brown was meant to lead the team. "When she was first born, I thought she was way too small and I just kind of put her on hold for about a month because, I said, 'She's so small, what is she going to be able to do?'" he said. "And then I said, 'Well, let me try her.' And now she's my main lead dog." As a leader, he said, Brown can get picky about who she runs next to at the front of the pack. She likes to stand next to her sister or four other dogs on the team. Bejna said he knows when he has hooked up the wrong dog next to Brown because she transforms from dog to statue — she sits down and will not move. "She's real anal about who she runs with," he said. "I think that's what makes her so special." 5. MASK Mask, a dog in Ray Redington Jr.’s team. (Loren Holmes / ADN) Mask is 5 years old and on her third or fourth Iditarod, said Wasilla musher Ray Redington Jr. She is an explorer by nature. "She likes to go. She likes the adventure," Redington said. "She just likes the adrenaline and likes the country." About this Author Tegan Hanlon Tegan Hanlon covers education and general assignments.

I had a look at the Crufts info this morning and thought it'd be an idea to pop in a topic that can be updated with piccies and news. Here are some rainy day photos from the Birmingham Mail I do like Bailey the Bearded Collie https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/gallery/best-pictures-crufts-day-1-14384456 I'm looking forward to Friday's terriers

Dog rugs on special - Hawkesbury NSW
Boronia replied to WoofnHoof's topic in Dog Rescue (General Rescue Discussion)
I emailed the clearance link to my friend that has two mini horses Woofn , she looked but no coats for minis unfortunately, only for dogs and normal-type horses -
what about a Tibbie?
-
we would very much like updates on your puppy PL, the DOLers here take an interest in new posters' and the problems with their dogs' as the outcome can be of value to other owners who have similar symptoms with their dog in the future. Please keep us updated as we do care about your little one
-
I don't think anyone here would come right out and say that it is a reaction to a vaccination as we can't 'see' what is happening and even then, who can say that the vaccination is the problem, though some puppies do get crook after vaccinations. Your vet is the one to track down the problem. Please keep up updated on what your vet says as well as the blood test results as it may be helpful in pups with similar symptoms. Hopefully you will have a good outcome tomorrow
-
I find it easiest to take a screen-shot of the photo I want, save it on my desktop, then click 'choose files...' and it'll then appear in your post if you click the little + on the left hand bottom of your uploaded photo Regarding your getting another dog...go for it! It will benefit everyone :-D
-
Did you take your little one back to the vets PL? Her problems have gone on too long, please consider taking her to another vet, a little puppy needs emergency care. I feel that your vet just suggesting euthanasia and having to wait for blood tests is not good enough. Please take her to another vet today, perhaps the vet that your breeder uses. I see that you are in NSW, perhaps you could let us know what area and someone here can recommend an excellent vet
-
maybe follow some of the links in this T https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/save-izzy-a-familys-quest-to-save-their-dogs-life/ I know that there was a Doler here that was (or is) a lawyer but can't remember their name :-/

Senior dog rescue in Victoria
Boronia replied to Vacuna's topic in Dog Rescue (General Rescue Discussion)
good news RP, did the little 'doesn't-even-look-like-a-Westie girl get a lovely foster through a rescue? -
or maybe you can ask advise on this (closed) FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/74305708528/ and this group: Adelaide Cavalier Rescue and Re homing Group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1624337977839823/about/

it seems Troy said 'No it is not permitted'. so it's maybe best if you contact a Cav breed club in your state or even contact her breeder, here is the link to the SA club http://www.cavaliersa.com/ and their rescue and re-homing info page http://www.cavaliersa.com/rescue.htm
-
At the top of the page is this 'Post here if your dog related topic does not seem to belong to any other category below. Please note that posts of a commercial nature will be deleted' so it may be an idea to contact Troy and ask him how you can go about re-homing your dog. Perhaps if you were to just tell us the breed we may be able to help point you in the right direction. Troy's contact details are here---> https://www.dogzonline.com.au/contact.asp
