I have a Skin, Immune and Mobility Formula that was blended for my dog, however it isn't right for him, there is alot there and would last someone a long time if they wanted to give it a shot, I'm not asking anything for it.

Blended by: http://www.meadowsweetherbs.com.au/page/canine_blends.html

The initial cost was $120 for a Kilo, I'm pretty sure they sent more than a Kilo and we've used about a 1/4 of it as you don't need to use much.

Contains:

Milkthistle, Burdock, Aniseed, Nettle, Clivers, Valerian, Marigold, Echinacea, Devils Claw, Chamomile & Brewers Yeast.

My dog doesn't tend to do well on Brewers Yeast.

It was just mixed it in with his dry food and we never had a problem with him accepting it.

If you're interested, let me know.

Hi Meh,

I would be very interested! I'm in Qld, and of course I'll pay postage. Is it still available? Thanks in advance!

We are okay at Karana Downs. Had food drops via Chinook, and meals provided at Evac Centre at Mt Crosby School. Power is now on, and some roads are open.

Raelene, I don't usually cry when commenting in Rainbow Bridge thread, but tonight the tears are flowing.

Zoe looked like she was put on this earth in order to help others. I wish I had met her - elderly Staffies have a special place in my heart.

Run free Zoe...

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I hate ticks and snakes RIP Bruce

YAY we have made it to first!!! so thank you to all who have supported my pic ... sending hugs to all ;)

I have been looking forward to this one. Hopefully my attempts will be up to par...first-time participant

I have to try to do this one, I've been a bit slack with some in the past.

Ah she's a laugh a minute... Love that you find her amusing too

She is stunning! She would get on well with Benson, I think

These are his favourite positions on his lounge

Yay! Frodo photos The little tyke is growing on me

This is a great thread, and look forward to checking it each day. I'll have to get my act together and get some of my boy.

Do you mean Speech, Rastus? He's not a puli, is he? Absolutely love Arrested Development

Froggy would probably be Marylin Manson or Ozzy Osborne, as she is a crazy lunatic who doesn't really think about what she's doing or any concequence it may have.

Stimpy would be the lead singer of Arrested Development - perfect and always makes me smile.

I am so sorry you are in that situation. It's horrible when the aggressor doesn't let go...so good job getting the Akita off your Foxie. I hope things go okay for you.

My sincerest condolences for your losses

Run free Cooper

Moselle, I am so sorry for you. I know how much it hurts, and it feels as though you will never get over it. I still tear up over losing my heart dog Jade on 31/3/10.

I'm glad you have your husband/family around you at this time. Take care. :D

Sophie, you are free from pain now. Rest in peace, sweet girl

Oh gosh, RANDCMOORE31, that is just TOO sad ;)

I am at a rescue almost daily, and that poem just brings to mind some of the poor dogs who have passed through the gates.

Poor Bindi. She'll have forgotten all about it by tomorrow

Poor MrsGrumbleBum...betcha have butterflies in your tummy thinking about her. I know I get that feeling when something is wrong with my boy. I'm sure the vet won't mind if you give them a quick call to check on her progress. I always do :D

Do these count as rare?

Looks like the work of Deshonko again . Speaking of which, wonder when they'll open for Christmas orders :D

My boy has skin issues, and no, I was not informed that blue's are prone to skin issues (no big surprise, right?). My boy also has an overshot jaw. I was told of this, but not the implications (i.e. his lower canines jut into the roof of his mouth/palate). As I had no intention of showing or breeding, I didn't mind.

Keep a close eye on the condition of his front teeth. They may be more prone to tartar than in a dog with more correct bite.

Thanks for your advice poodlefan, Raz and BlueStaff. I often check inside his mouth, and I have had the vet check it a few months ago. I will certainly be getting it checked regularly though, as the vet explained what can happen and how he may need GA to take care of it.

And thanks also for not shooting me down!

For the SBT breeders it's simple... don't breed blue and remove the accidents that crop up from the gene pool.

I ummed and ahhed about posting here, but what the heck!

As you probably guessed, I bought my blue boy from a BYB. That was BEFORE I found DOL, and back then I knew no better. I do now, so please no :D

My question is this - what would have happened to him if he was born into a litter of a reputable breeder? Would he have been PTS due to his jaw? I have often wondered. I know dogs that aren't "show standard" could be sold to homes as pets, but would the same happen for dogs with a physical (but not disabling) fault?

I am perfectly happy with my boy, and wouldn't swap him for quids. He's a wonderful pet, and is great with my children. I would be lost without him.

Problem solved.

WOW, Nugget/Dutch is one of the best looking pups I've ever seen. I can't decide which calendar I like better! Amazing work, tdierikx. Better start saving my pennies, I think.

Recently we had a female doggie friend over to play with our male. My 8yo son pipes up "Look Mum! Benson's having a piggy back!"

Sometimes I wish they didn't have to grow up and lose that innocence.

Today a special friend of mine passed away. He was a gentle giant. He had a hard life, and a hard exterior to match. But those who broke down his tough shell managed to see the real Jackster. I fell in love with the gentle giant. When I first met him, he scared me. I automatically dismissed him as a savage, dangerous dog. Luckily for me, I persevered. The ugly mutt showed me his soft interior once he knew I was a regular visitor to his place. Many a day was spent with the big galumph sitting on my foot for back rubs, or his massive head nudging me for ear scratches.

I didn't know him for very long. But the time I spent with him will be cherished. He was big, lumpy, cranky and short-tempered. Guess what? SO AM I!!!

Rest in peace darling J. I will miss you. But I won't forget you. The tears I shed are partly selfish, because my time with you was short, and partly happy tears, because I know you are no longer in pain. Run free big boy

Congratulations Dee_Al. Your new boy looks so sweet!

Looking forward to more pics

That may be me

What exactly are you after? I often walk dogs, can supply a good reference, and have a young dog of my own. Is it all day care, or do you want your dog walked? My boy is very respectful and well socialised, and I love dogs. PM me if you want.

BTW, this is a puppy after almost a month on UA. I don't think anybody could say that he isn't doing well on it.

After reading this thread, I have decided to try Uncle Albers. I compared the protein and fat content to our current SuperCoat Puppy, and found both had 14% fat, and the protein only differed by 1% (SCoat 29%, UA 28%). It doesn't look or smell that bad, and I gave Benson a few tidbits to sample as I was mixing it into his remaining SuperCoat. He couldn't get enough! After seeing Ellz's Staffords, and hearing the feedback from other exhibitors and breeders, I am looking forward to seeing how my boy does on it, and whether his itches decrease or not.
