A dog can recognise certain words that the owner has taught it, words like...sit, stay or drop. I am wondering how a complete stranger can shout 'go home' and the dog know exactly what to do. eta this example

I have a feeling someone is going to be in deep doo-da about this http://www.courierma...2-1226730330985 Sasha the dog horrifies Townsville owners after she is found alive 18 months after being euthanised Jane Armitstead Townsville Bulletin October 01, 2013 12:00AM Marianne Wainwright, with her sons, James, 14, and Harry Ward, 8, were horrified to learn their 'dead' dog Sasha was still alive. Picture: Wesley Monts Source: News Limited A TOWNSVILLE family who euthanised their vicious dog after it killed their chickens and mauled other dogs 18 months ago were horrified to learn it was still alive and attacking other animals last week. Leigh Ward and his partner Marianne Wainwright made a difficult decision to put down their adopted bull mastiff cross, Sasha, at Greencross Vets in Woodlands last April out of fear she would attack their young children. Mr Ward was shocked when Townsville City Council dog catchers called last week to say their dog, who was traced back to the family through her microchip, had mauled a dog and tried to attack other pets in Alice River last Wednesday night. According to the death certificate issued by Greencross Vets, Sasha should have died on April 12. Greencross Vets yesterday would not confirm the dog was euthanised last year and would not comment on details around the incident. "Greencross Vets is aware a dog in the community is being investigated,'' a statement said. "We are taking the incident very seriously and will do everything possible to help local police with their investigations.'' The dog is currently impounded at the RSPCA who confirmed the tan and white Bull Mastiff was the same dog through microchip details. RSPCA did not know whether Sasha had been rehomed or if she was a stray. Mr Ward said the aggressive and impulsive dog had previously tried to attack him and had the potential to seriously maim a young child. "We wanted her put down for a reason, it wasn't that we didn't want her anymore, she was vicious,'' he said. "When we were told she was still alive we thought it was some sort of mistake. "She should be dead ... this would have been a lot worse if she had attacked someone else's child.'' Mr Ward owned Sasha for six months before she killed two chickens, mauled their Jack Russell and tried to attack family members. "She should not be wandering around a neighbourhood,'' he said. "She could be a lovable and smart dog but she would turn psycho every now and again. We are an animal loving family and the decision to put her down was extremely difficult.'' Deeragun officer in charge Acting Senior-Sergeant Ian Thomson said police had launched an investigation into Greencross Vets. "We will work our way back and find out what has happened and see what offences have been committed,'' he said. "There could be a myriad of stories as to what has happened and we will carry out an investigation.'' It is believed the animal will be destroyed this week.

That was.. Greylvr or her husband, I think. He's going to be disappointed. With so many sites (most of them free), he's trying to compete in a market that is already covered. Why would anyone pay to list their dogs on a new site when they can list on Gumtree for free? You'd think some very basic market research would have told him that but.. But but..... in the info about him he said that he was an Entrepreneur :laugh:

yep it did Rebanne, thanks. What a hoot!, especially how you just knew how it would end :laugh:

For some reason or other that video (I am presuming it is a video) doesn't appear for me, can you pop in the link as well so I can click on it please?

But at the Adelaide Show this week showjumping has gone micro with high-hopping rabbits taking to the arena. The pet bunnies are coaxed by their owners along a specially prepared course, jumping over a series of five, 10cm high hurdles. Some rabbits leap effortlessly over the bars, while others sit stubbornly at the barriers refusing to move. Reporter Wendy Collis gets some tips on the "bunny hop" from self confessed rabbit lover Sandy Sangster who says 10cm isn't too high for a sporty rabbit. "If you get a very young rabbit who's just full of the joy of life they can levitate about two feet into the air, even higher than that, suddenly," Sandy Sangster says.

Exactly what i was thinking KC, I reckon they are planning a session of mischief for the morning. Glad she is home and looking so well K9, it's excellent news!

this is my latest hottie

Already there are a couple of those Deshonko pups available I like your new studs T, their pups will make excellent Chrissie presents for apartment dwellers, they look as if they will be the popular non-poop teacup variety

I find it concerning that Deshonko Kennels have slyly infiltrated this site to cunningly brainwash the readers into purchasing the pictured dog's bear's pups cubs that will be available by Christmas. I thought that this was a purebred site. Hummm, now if it were one of these.......

Same result for my Lily. She was very distressed by her puddles. Stllboestrol has worked like a charm for her. She only needs one tablet a month now. The senior Whippet in my house also has incontinence issues. Propalin is working for him. Another vote for Propalin here. It is usually for females but my vet said it also works on some male dogs so we tried it on Mac (1/4 ml twice daily) and it is a miracle!...no wet-smelly Mac-tummy any more, no more washing bedding (and the floor) everyday, and the house doesn't have a dog-pee smell.

I was also reading SSM's Breeders forum topic Skyfool, and was thinking of a beautiful golden glaze we sometime use at our pottery group...it is called 'Crackle Goldene'

Another sort of treat is hunks of cucumber...mine love it as it is CRUCNHY

Pity the dog bit him on his penis rather than biting off his testicles ∴ infertility. Good dog, but needs to brush-up on its directional bite-training.

I looked at the images of Joey's rose Jules and this is what I found https://www.google.c...iw=1024&bih=582 When I see a rose of that beautiful colour I will think of your lovely boy. I am so sad for you and your husband. B

Thanks Will but the Frenchie I was concerned about is Cid-from-Victoria who is owned by Natalie, not Sid-from-Qld who is owned by Huga,

thanks KC, I have asked how he is...I fear it may not be good news though

How is Cid Natalie?

Can anyone remember the little Frenchie (I think his name is Sid) who got really sick?...just wondering how is getting on. I can't find the thread to ask.

I would like to take Daisy and Mac to do some obedience or agility, mostly because it's fun for Daisy and may be beneficial for Mac who has sookie-fits (sometimes his hair hurts if I turn his collar round) The closest to us is the one held at Redlands Vet Clinic and I am wondering if there is anyone here who has their dog training there (or has left because they were not happy) PM me if you would rather do that. Thank you :)

There is a woman nearby to us that was trying to get rid of a 12 month Chinese Crested at the tiny local markets on Sunday...he is Pedigree. She had her phone number on the advertisment but it doesn't connect. I looked on the 'Reverse Numbers' directory and my OH has gone round to her place twice but no one at home. I am still trying to see her as I bought a fishing rod from her at the markets and left it at her stall (a good excuse to go to her place) The CC (a little cutie) has dark skin and some long hair on his head. The woman who owns him now said she can't afford to get him desexed and wants some money to re-emburse for his plane-flight costs (about $175), so the dog is not really FTGH. PM if you are interested and we will go round again and see if she has a mobile number.

So sorry Jules, what an awful time for you. Hugs from me and the Little Guys.
