Yeah just trying to cover all angles I guess, like I said I've never owned a male and I'm not too sure in the differences For starters you would have much less chance of coming home to a dead dog sometime down the track

No younger will still challenge older if they feel it is in their own best interest. No way I would have 2 intact bitches of a bull breed. And if you are leaving them outside to their own devises a large amount of the time they will sort things out to suit themselves. Whether that is peacefully is a lottery.

all my cats over the years have lived well into their teens and they have been fed on supermarket food. I'm not about to rush out and change their food.

Try buying some heavy carpet and cut it to the same size as each tread. This worked for a greyhound I know. But a baby gate to make sure there isn't any accidents is a very good idea.

I've owned 5 GSD bitches in the past and wouldn't have one nowadays. I was waiting at a RACV depot around Xmas time to get a new car battery and they had 2 GSD's in the yard. One male, one female and yes, clearly purebred. The bitch was good but the male was just like those in the video. He was magnificent - until he moved. The head OMG was to die for but the topline and those weird hind legs, just made him butt ugly to me. I used to think GSD's were the only breed on the planet but those days are gone.

well of course it's my problem that the dog barks night and day at anything and everything. How silly of me to think that it is unreasonable. Must go to my GP and get drugged!

Welcome little babies to our world :D

OMG do you know how loud a little dog can bark?? I mind having a little dog living next to me barking it's fool head off. I have one now.

.....................and??

anything happening? :D

as much as this whole thread makes my skin crawl you really should have read the whole thread Sheena before commenting as things had changed from the OP

Because if your dog gets off your property the man from the pound will get it and then you will have to pay to get it back again so why not have it on a chain??? How about you build a proper fence to keep it in it's own yard. Bloody pathetic.

Dog doors aren't the answer to everything anyway.

If your Mother wants a dog and that's who is really getting a dog, as you will only see it on weekends, then let your Mum decide what she may like. I would still recomend a nice quiet older dog that has been given up by a family for a genuine reason ( and there are some ) and then I'd be making sure the dog has a nice safe spot to go to when you visit so neither dog or child are over whelmed.

so sorry GB. Lucky Anna to have had you there for her.

Many, many years ago, one of my GSD's had a very small area of hairlessness appear due to demodex mites. there were no injections given but I was given a wash (ivermectin?) and had to apply that for weeks and weeks so I also suggest you continue with the course of treatment. BTW rice and lot's of vegies aren't needed to make up a good food. Hopefully the chicken mince is minced with the bone and not just the meat.

I feed from 3 weeks on and Mum decides when she won't feed them anymore. The bigger the litter the earlier that seems to happen :D

We currently have a little foxy and she doesn't like that either, so I'm thinking if we start off at pup then surely she wouldn't mind it and can see it grow and get use to dogs I knew people who thought if they got a pup their child would be fine. I told them don't do it. Pup ended up in the pound at 12 months of age. I suggest you find friends with nice quiet older dogs and visit them a lot without forcing your child to interact with the dog.

sounds like a dislocation and now that you have put it back into place I would just keep him a little restricted and keep an eye on him. But that was the front foot so what is going on with the back?

Ok folks I'm going to need a hand with the greys on Thursday March 24th. Mainly as a holder as I have the last dog, then first bitch and will need to swap over on the fly. Depending on who wins what may possibly need someone able to take one around the ring for run off. Greyhounds are going to be on around 11ish or a bit later but before lunch. So if you are interested in giving greys a go please let me know :D

How insulting you are!

I think 2 hrs is too much overnight. I've had pups from 4 weeks up. I'd be toileting at your bedtime, then 3 hrs later and then once again in th eearly hrs. So something like 10pm, 1am, then 5am then 7am when you get up.

There are a lot of laws, that if they were actually enforced would go a long way to cleaning things up. No good putting in new laws if they can't enforce the ones they have.
