Oh no that is awful. You and your poor defenceless dogs. Please report the attackers as soon as you can. Healing vibes to Maddie and Stan.

another comment said RSPCA were there earlier in the week, couple of days before AWL I think.

and just remember not all dogs present the same way with bloat. One of the worst cases ever seen by a Sydney emergency vet was a greyhound that was just not quite right, owned by experienced people who had seen bloat before.

Is it hard? Really if you think bloat then must get to vet asap

few years ago I had the council knock on my door cause a cat had been killed by a couple of large dogs a street or two over. I asked straight out if they were asking me cause I had greyhounds and they said um no but I have always doubted them. I told them next doors large dog, a Golden Ret., had not been out either cause I had heard him barking. So I reckon they can look up dogs on their data base.

Fern would have ripped off Shandi's leg. Her food is her food!

My greyhound has a disc problem, confirmed by MRI. Her only treatment was 6 weeks strict crate rest, which worked beautifully. If it hadn't have worked we would have had to weigh up on whether to do surgery. She isn't on any supplements because it is not arthritis. I restrict her chances to play with my other dog wildly in the backyard. Twisting and turning are what set her off.

For a lot of breeders there is no difference in price. I sell all my pups at the same price. They cost the same to raise. Lots of show quality dogs on Limited register. Limited does not automatically mean lesser quality.

just for your information lots of breeders won't let you pick your own puppy and it's not because they are unethical. I wait until I have picked my puppy first and then work on down. Who has show potential, who is outgoing, who needs a laid back pup, who already has a bitch at home so needs a dog pup etc. Lot's of reasons why a breeder won't let a buyer pick a pup.

it doesn't really matter if they were greys or dobes, playing or aggressive. A woman nearly lost her eye and the owner of the dogs needs to be found and punished and possibly the dogs too.

Dogs still have to be on main register if shown in Neuter class

Fawn dogs are often described as brown by the general public

I hope if they are Greys they weren't green collared. The program is very new in NSW and took a lot to get it in - if a green collared dog (a dog that has passed the test) behaved in this manner it will call the whole program into question, and with the NSW Gov currently investigating adding more breeds to the BSL list it could have serious rammifications. I hope they weren't green collared either. I've known a couple of greys who have bitten and heard of others. They are out there.

In most states it is up to the new owner to transfer the dog, not the breeder. Breeder signs the back of the form and then new owner sends it in with the fee.

Hi Rebanne, Thanks for the reply. You know I had never considered something like that with the door on the side rather than front on and it makes a lot of sense too, I wonder if you could hose it out occasionally if you made sure it dried properly? What was the quality like considering how many of these there seem to be in the market? Cheers, John it's sat out in the weather year round, I think it's reasonable quality and at that price you can buy a new one if needed every few years. I think the secret is to keep the oil up to it. The huge marine ply kennel I have is over 24 years old but can't move it :D

I would be looking for a kennel with a side opening to help prevent wind and raining blowing straight in. I have one of these and find it quite reasonable. I give it a coat of oil a couple of times a year and it's coming up to 3 years old. Plenty big enough for a GSD.

or they could browse the breed 101 forum

:laugh:

why is it rough? You pay for what you want.

how much you paid to get the listing, Blue allows you more profiles of your dogs to put up, Red have less, that's all.

why not just use a spot on?

is this the same person who has the pup with only one testicle?

I 2nd K9 crates but mine don't have flaps which I am happy with. I only use them normally at shows but do take them away with me on road trips. If I want them covered for any reason I just throw a fleece blanket over them.

I love his bucket!

get a long piece of wide elastic and stitch to the elbow covers. Will have more give. But it should be like a collar, they soon get used to it. eta get him a harness and get him used to wearing it. My greyhounds have no problem with suddenly wearing a harness. Then you may be able to attach the elbow support to that.
