Its the shiznit very few dogs of the future will be singled out now, mostly deed not breed

glad it went through.

I did not want her purchasing a so-called restricted breed , especially as this would be her first dog.

Then its best you suggest to your friend to only buy a registered dog from a registered breeder and she wont have that problem

yeah she wont have a problem with staffies just on DOL listing

We currently have in our database for this breed

56 Puppy Notice(s)

7 Mature Dog

Notice(s)

from a total of

439 Breeder(s)

and they say popularity breeds problems lol.

Probably a whole nother topic though.

OMFG but but dos'nt you spozed to av papers or u B in da Poo??!! LMAO

Good to read Lisa

Ahh I see, You may have to use another split ring on the other split ring to get it hanging right? It would then turn it face forward.

I think you may have to use a key "ring" on it first. It should hang straight then.

edit: put the ring through the hole at the front of the tag, then attach the tag to the collars D ring via the key "ring".

If that makes sence.

Hey Bro, I updated the patched up list in EDBA forum ages ago with the one below.

Sydney June 14, 2007.. Robyn Gordon who kept 14 dogs as pets has died after being found with bite wounds over much of her body at her property in Sydney's north-west.

X Breed dogs

I think thats the only one I can see missing from the list you have.

edit: yeah and the baby in Vic that gillbear posted link too.

Why is that? what are you going to do with pics of members pets?

Theres plenty of pics on google images.

Pea straw mate, Pea straw! my dogs favourite in the doghouse.

Cool thanks for that, both, with the Ester C is it effective whilst also taking the glucosamine or should it be on its own?. will it interfere with the other supplements.

This procedure involves implanting gold-plated beads that are about the size of poppy seeds and have a slight magnetic charge. Sometimes gold wire is also used. The beads are injected using a 14-gauge needle while the dog is anesthetized.

Like acupuncture itself, gold-bead implantation is very safe. The implants are often used for musculoskeletal problems such as hip dysplasia, osteochondritis, arthritis and spondylosis of the back. Age has an important influence on effectiveness.

Another area where gold beads are used is in neurological disorders such as epilepsy and Wobbler's syndrome.

Using what is called a "French pulse technique," the vetacupuncturist uses her own pulse to diagnose what points to stimulate with beads. When she is holding the bead-loaded syringe over the correct point, the practitioner will feel her pulse increase and get slightly more erratic.

The implants should not be used when cancer, tumors or bone infections are present, because their weak positive charge can actually encourage growth. Only vets certified in acupuncture can do gold bead implants.

My dog has spondylosis too it looks like a doily wrapped around the spine on X-ray, is it common for vets to do this in Aust I think i read they need to be trained in TCM, I will need to find one in Vic to have a chat.

How much did it cost your sister?

Implants! I will have to google them and check them out.

Is there any new products about that help dogs with arthritis?. Old dog gets glucosamine MSM and chondroiten mix at the moment, but it seems to not be working as well as before. Anything else i can try him on?

I have seen people say that HSD is horrendus dry food. Not really knowing the ins and outs of dry food I am wondering why it is so bad compared to other dried food?

Mabey it's a lower grade dog kibble compared to other brands? so thats why everyone bags it. I dont know, the best kibble I have ever found is uncle albers and thats a real cheapy and I have tried alot of different kibbles for the dogs ( not on there behalf lol) some ultra expensive and science diet too.

overall its what your dog does well on that matters, whatever brand it is, not anything else.

Is there any reliable litrature on macadamias being bad for dogs in small quantities?

I made one out of sailboat rope softened with cuddly fabric softener with a BIGASS bullsnap crimped onto the end

I de-worm them twice per year, it used to be 4 times per year as most people do, but i couldnt see that it was needed.

I think so, it does tend to give my dogs the runs though if eaten in large amounts, it might be too much fat content or something, small amounts shouldnt hurt though, i have seen neumorous people on here giving there dogs pig heads and dried ears etc with no ill effects.

Well i just dont hold any of those doomsday views, on this unique breed, if the time ever comes that it happens *which i dont think it ever will*, then that will be the time for any breeders or any associations to deal with it.

Prevention is better than cure

Or as kaiser says, the initial breeders ( who i doubt very much would be 'bogans' in the first place ) will have to carefully screen buyers & homes to help prevent that sort of thing from happening, its all they can do.

I repeat, nothing is fool proof! Breeders have been fooled before.

Jeezus Well thats all well and good then,. But I dont hold your doomsday view of the dogs breed via BS & L, so no point trying to drum it in to me with size enhanced bolding text ok

cheers

Somehow i dont think it will ever be a "bogan" breed, not with the vast array of dogs with allready documented 'Reps' for "bogans" to choose from.

In fact i dare say that such a rare and ancient breed would be well regarded, and looked after.

They're nice looking dogs hey

A while ago someone on here said they were importing some Thai Ridgebacks to Australia, i am just wanting to know if it went ahead or not.

A nice little massage after exercise would be nice

It must be hard bordering on impossible to train a dog out of deep rooted instinct.

I can vouch for Flexicose and the powder supplement MSM Glucosamine Choindroitin joint food put out by nutralife.

The Flexicose canine you cant get anymore through customs but the human stuff is exactly the same. I found it a bit pricey though for the amount you get, and the nutralife product just as good.
