  1. I just feed what I always feed, minced chicken frames and VIP dry food. I throw in a few extra's as well, things like eggs, sardines etc but I also do that anyway.
  2. I also say keep the dog but would be worried the old owners will just steal her back when you are not home. So send her back and cease all dialogue with them. Put your name down with several breeders about wanting an older dog and wait.
  3. periodontal disease. Check his gum line, look for red lines around the teeth. Had a greyhound with it, multiple teeth cleans, removals and antibiotics over a 4 year period until I insisted all his teeth be removed. Also had a cat with it but only over 6 weeks before they removed all his teeth on the 3rd clean etc in that time. Both lived another 12 months before other ailments claimed them.
  4. https://royalshow.com.au/animals/animals-up-close/dogs/best-in-show-live-stream/ for those who may be interested :)
  5. I had an older male greyhound get this - once. His was very mild. I didn't have to carry him anywhere, he still ate and drank ok. Was only slightly wobbly and totally over it in a few days. What clued the vet in was the eye flick, everything else was very mild.
  6. I don't feel at all sorry for the guy. He hasn't made much of an effort with that fence and the dog has obviously been out many, many times to rack up that much in fines and be declared a nuisance. I also think the bit about the nursing home was added in to make people feel sorry for him. Reads like he thinks he is above the law, ie ranger should just ring him to come pick up the dog. Wonder what the neighbours think about the dog roaming all around the place? It would be setting off other dogs and peeing and pooping wherever it wanted. Maybe he should move to Canberra where they are happy to have dogs roaming around?
  7. Skip you really need to read all of a thread before responding. You might want to delete/alter your post
  8. Are you a Dogs Vic member? Did you breed the dog in question? Is someone claiming a dog you own is the parent when it's not? I, for one, am glad Dogs Vic is not handing out info to just anyone.
  9. I too think he looks like a Henry :D Well done, I'm sure you will have him sorted in no time. None of my male greyhounds have ever been interested in marking - inside or out, so no advice there
  10. This and don't be too harsh, the vast majority get it before too long. And teach them to handstack then while young you can help them along.
  11. I've had boarding kennels accept my dogs who were vaccinated with a C3 with the KC nasal spray given on a different date.
  12. Double post ?? means they posted the same thing twice. Sounds like the pup got a little out of sorts and is now recovering. If that's what it is then eating should be next. What happened on Tuesday? Did they get vaccinated or something out of the ordinary happen?
  13. I would put to sleep. 14 is a grand old age for a shepherd. I would let him go with dignity and love.
  14. Just register him somewhere. No need to re chip when he has a perfectly good one working.
  15. I'd be putting him outside while baby is awake and active. Crating wouldn't be any good unless you can 100% make sure baby doesn't get close enough to put a hand through the bars. Crawling babies are very different to young children but I know that I couldn't rehome a dog to a house with kids now he has shown this behaviour.
  16. because they have to travel as cargo, have rabies injections and quarantine when coming home and all the testing timelines actually mean you would be bringing back bitch and 9 month old puppies!
  17. a whole litter of puppies :-( 1951 356095 Puppy Labrador Retriever Behavioural - Stressed, Anxiety, Timidity, Fearful Lethal Injection Euthanised 24-Feb-2016 1952 356096 Puppy Labrador Retriever Behavioural - Stressed, Anxiety, Timidity, Fearful Lethal Injection Euthanised 24-Feb-2016 1953 356097 Puppy Labrador Retriever Behavioural - Stressed, Anxiety, Timidity, Fearful Lethal Injection Euthanised 24-Feb-2016 1954 356098 Puppy Labrador Retriever Behavioural - Stressed, Anxiety, Timidity, Fearful Lethal Injection Euthanised 24-Feb-2016 1955 356099 Puppy Labrador Retriever Behavioural - Stressed, Anxiety, Timidity, Fearful Lethal Injection Euthanised 24-Feb-2016 1956 356100 Puppy Labrador Retriever Behavioural - Stressed, Anxiety, Timidity, Fearful I shouldn't have looked. 2 greyhounds put down for dental reasons for gawds sake when it's known they can have poor mouths and it's not becaus eof poor feeding practices either. No wonder they are saying they are going to put down 50% of all greyhounds surrendered to them if they use dental for an excuse.
  18. Don't forget birds flying over head can drop stuff. This is what was thought happened to a dog I had.
  19. Yes most are especially after they have been judged and can relax. Most are fully aware that interaction with the public is a given at a Royal. I'll be there on the Monday but I don't know any breeders of the ones you are interested in ETA, just had a quick look and Schnauzer are after whippets. There will be a large number of whippets entered, quite possibly judging will take most of the morning. For the Havanese it looks like they will be on fairly early.
  20. A greyhound would not be a good fit when the only breeds mentioned by the OP were small breeds. Huge difference between chihuahua, french bulldogs, griffons etc and greyhounds.
  21. Hmm so even owning a Greyhound in NSW may be under threat. https://www.thedogs.com.au/NewsArticle.aspx?NewsId=7874
