  1. try clicking first then throwing the treat to him while he is not so close to the noise. Click should come first.
  2. most dogs will have a tendency to wander if they are allowed to by poor fencing or poor shutting of doors and gates.
  3. no idea on coat but those nails need clipping badly.
  4. There is only one person in NZ who has bred recently and that was over 3 years ago afaik. In the USA plenty of greys do obedience and agility and do well. We have them here as well, in WA and QLD. There are no muzzling laws in NZ. If a grey was of interest to the OP then I would go the way of GAP NZ and get an adult. You know what you are getting, you have the back up of the organisation and it's a good way to dip your toe into the world of dog ownership before tackling the dog show world with another breed. And even when they don't bark I certainly knew if people were around by the way they race to the door, tails wagging madly :laugh: But I think a lab or rottie would be a good choice as well.
  5. Don't walk down my driveway then. Fern sounds like the Hounds from Baskerville all on her own LOL. My friend also had a black grey who was an excellent watchdog. They are out there but they are not the norm.
  6. some do and boy do they sound like they mean it.
  7. according to FB Paddy has been found and is back with his owner
  8. I'd suggest a black greyhound. NZ has a GAP program. I'd skip the showing bit, it's pretty full on. If she got, say a lab, could she deal with the whispers and rumors that could potentially start up? Whether her dog was good, bad or average.
  9. I would guess this dog was well known and had at least one order on him. ie the owner had failed to comply with registering, desexing and microchipping within the required time. I would also guess the owner got another dog cause she was trying to offload Dante onto to some poor unsuspecting person. Poor angry dog who never had a chance because of his dickhead owner. Don't think he was being held for ransom at all
  10. egg yolks are high in biotin thereby negating the egg white.
  11. if any one is there first thing Easter Sunday I'd love to grab you to video tape the greyhounds :D Video camera supplied, super easy to use.
  12. My dog recently had a MRI and the cost was $1500, this was in Melbourne. There were other costs involved, vet consult, day boarding etc.
  13. My GSD's coped with less then 30 minutes a day exercise. It's what they were used to. They were also outside a lot and mostly slept outside. I had one barker out of 5 over the years, never at night, only if I was out during the day. Most were trained to competition level and competed in trials, both obedience and agility. I think they were pretty happy.
  14. will be there Easter Sunday, a whole 4 greyhounds entered!
  15. I'd be getting a full vet check. At 4 and 1/2 weeks old she should be well able to eat.
  16. Mail entries for Ovens Valley Canine Club, 5th & 6th April, Myrtleford Vic, have closed. OzEntries open until 5 pm Friday 21st March. Neuter class offered.
  17. Yes Maeby's pug Grover died last night. I'm sure Cavnrott and Staffntoller would like to add something.
  18. Heartworm was in Melbourne over 25 years ago.
  19. I think Grover would like that ..to be part of his favourite beach :) that's a lovely photo. yes I agree
  20. Oh PFL, I am so so sorry to read this. Life is so f&^king unfair at times. I honestly don't know what to say. Big hugs from me.
  21. Guess my male dogs missed this memo :laugh:
