Oh, we have a ChiX that lives with my two Rough Collies... She has no inkling to do agility at all. I saw another Chi at an agility comp in May and it was so cute. Climbing that A frame looked like climbing Everest!

I was on YouTube today looking for some videos for direction changes etc and found this: Mixy is one amazing Chi!

Shall give it a go! My local butcher does a really good quality mince and I can make some up.

This is a very interesting topic in my house right now. I have two rough collies and I have been feeding Hills Adult Dog. I was using working dog, as they do a lot of exercise, but one was putting on too much weight and the other, now that I have gone to Adult Dog, dropped weight really quickly. What was interesting is that I originally fostered this dog as a surrender to the rescue group I am part of. His coat was very wiry and dry, and while he is very energetic, he is a nervous temperament and I put it all down to new environment and having just been desexed. Crunch time came when he was straining the other day with some watery blood in among a slimy dropping Blood tests all normal, he is calming down with training and routine, he is a happy boy but we are now giving the Royal Canin Intestinal a go. As an aside our old rescue ChiX has had a bout of pancreatitis and she LOVES ;) the canned I/D. Could write all day about this...our other collie was an RSPCA rescue, starved down to a weight of 15kg and now at a healthy 24kg, he looks magnificent but if I he is given anything with fat on it, he vomits. Not once but until he is heaving up bile. ;) This is a pain because we also do agility and the high reward treats that I would love to give him are fatty, which he just can't have. I use Ziwi Peak, Venison and Fish which he is fine with and loves but if you have any other suggestions I would be grateful. ;)

Hi, There was a light sable sheltie (tan and white miniature collie – like LASSIE) at Bayside Brisbane today (Wed 12th August) This dog is LOST, it was in the Wynnum North Dog Park and I have two collies. I approached the dog, expecting to see its owners somewhere but it was alone and at a spot in the fence where the wire was broken at the bottom. We didn't expect her/him to run - I have two collies and they barked and it sent her under the fence and on her way. I tracked her in my car and couldn't manage to get her - she lost me on Tingal Road when she went into the bush opposite Patterson's Feeds. She/he (think it was a she) was groomed and had a Brisbane City council blue tag on. I would also expect her to be microchipped. I am so sorry I didn't hold her - I go to that park everyday and never noticed to wire broken on that section. Please call me on 0407 108 398 if you need more details.
