  1. So jealous that we have to wait another 3 weeks! But I guess it's what happens when you want a show quality pup. What colour Newfie are you getting? Hi Wadz where is your puppy from and what colour if you don't mind me asking? Hi Mish13 we are getting our little girl from Krystalcove and she will be a little black bitch. We are just a little excited about adding our new pup to our family :D

  3. How exciting, you must post photos when your puppy arrives. Are you getting a boy or girl and is it Black? We are getting a little black girl :D I will be posting lots of photos when we get her we have been sent photos of the 3 bitches that they are choosing our girl from We are calling her Maddy
  4. I believe its all a personal choice. We never crate trained our silkys. However, we also show, so they adapted to being in a crate during traveling and shows. We are also getting a Newfie in a few weeks. I suggest you ask your breeder whether they recommend crate training, and I'm sure they will point you in the right direction. :D
  5. Around 3 weeks until we get our baby newfie :D just a little excited!! We aren't sure who is ours yet though! We have names and everything picked out! We are so excited to get our little bundle of fur
  6. Yes!! I have the same problem! We have 3 cats and 2 dogs! There is never any room in my bed for me. I always wake up with all of them on my bed
  7. I love all dogs but as soon as I see a husky I start to get a little nervous about my little dogs. I was walking our border collie down the main street one day and there were two huskys walking towards us and a baby kitten ran infront of them and they ripped it to the pieces! The owners didn't do anything! My friend was also attacked by a husky while saving her lamb. They are lovely looking dogs, but they just worry me and I feel bad about it
  8. Shit does happen though! We tried everything on the weekend to keep our gazebo pegged down. But sadly the ground was too soft and the wind was too strong. We ended up taking it down before it caused damage. Around 10 gazebos lost roofs and they were secured. Buying a new gazebo would be a lot cheaper than going to court.
  9. We have two Australian silky terriers. We were looking for a "big dog" to replace our border collie who sadly died. It was down too getting a border collie and an Australian cattle dog. But we fell in love with Newfoundlands. Now we have 2 Newfie babies on the way (long story there). One tiny breed and a massive breed. We are now currently finding a house with land to relocate too hahaha I think you just know what breed is for you and it all comes down to patience!
  10. Can someone explain create training to me? We never crate trained our puppies and they are fine with creates??

  18. People are disgusting. They should get longer time in jail for what they do to animals. It just makes me so angry
  19. Wadz I am so so sorry to hear this!!! Your poor poor boy. What a horrible way to go down hill so fast and so suddenly! You made the right decision and as much as I would never want Oscar to suffer like that it would almost make it easier to see it's the kindest thing to do then to have to weigh it up. You must miss your boy so much, 10 years with him only for you to have to give him his wings.. Big BIG hugs to you.. You are right - I am only treating him to keep him alive for me. I am telling myself it's for him too but I often forget he is a dog not a human. Thanks Sunnyflower. Its still pretty fresh, but it all comes down to the quality of life. I'm just thankful I got to say goodbye to him. At least you know you've done everything you can for him when the time comes to say goodbye. My heart goes out to you and your boy. Its one of the hardest choices to make.
  20. Our 10 year old border collie was an outside dog. He had a beautiful personality. 2 months ago he started to get snappy with our two silky puppies. We thought it was just him being a male. I noticed he had stopped eating and we thought it was his teeth. So we took him to the vets and the vet agreed with his teeth as he had chipped one and they needed cleaning. He also suggested we have him desexed and shaved. So we did. After his op we let him live inside. The first few nights we noticed drops of blood and we thought it was just his stitches. So we took him to the vet on the Thursday. She had a look and we found the blood was coming from his bottom. She put him on medication and told us it was a hemroids. She said if he didn't stop bleeding by Monday to bring him back. By Monday he was still bleeding and looking miserable, so I took him back to the vet. We had a new English vet. She suggested we do blood test. It came back his red blood cells were dropping. So they tested him for clotting. By the following Thursday he was starting to drool thick drool and he could hardly move. His clotting came back fine. She suggested that we do an ultrasound, but said they may not be able to pick up anything and that it was highly likely it was cancer. Our boy was going down hill fast, and I couldn't stand to see him suffer. That night we decided we'd put him to sleep the next day. I spent his last day with him, and by the afternoon he was drooling blood. He was so sick, yet he had his paw around me and kept trying to cheer me up. He didn't want to disappoint me. We could have kept him alive for longer. But I don't think its right to make your best friend suffer. We only keep them alive and treat them to make ourselves feel better, its not in their interest and it just hurts them to see you hurt. I miss him so much , but I know I did the right thing. It was time to say goodbye. I would rather remember my dog as healthy and loving, than have to see him suffer and struggle.
  21. I don't recommend having two puppies of the same age, at the same time. We have two puppies and they are 4 months apart and it was a handful for a while.
