Ah that was probably the problem lol Thanks guys :)

excellent, thank you! :)

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what Bull Terrier breeder uses the prefix "bullactiv"? Thanks :)

Thanks :) I spoke to them and am pretty happy with their answers. They are coming down in a couple of weeks to meet her and we'll see how they go :)

Thanks, I will call them tomorrow. My foster Angel would be perfect - she is fetch mad, and will cry until you throw her toys. And if she can't find it she'll keep searching until she finds it. She learns everything with toy rewards instead of treats :) The main thing I will be questioning them about though (and please answer if you already know) is where they are kept when they aren't working, eg a kennel/cage or in yards etc. And what happens to them when they retire. And I'd like to know what happens to her (eg if she's injured etc). Lol I love this dog so much and want to make sure its perfect for her

Can you send me some details on this please?

In response to the original question: We don't stop people fostering if they adopt a foster pet, but we do have informal limits on the amount of fosters + pets someone can have. If they adopt too many fosters that takes them over this "limit" we will ask them to stop fostering. The limit is usually based on the space and time available, and the experience of the carer :)

Has she ever contacted the same rescue more than once? According to this thread she already tried ours a couple of years ago.. But just curious

I have given her a cardboard box with treat AND a bone in it (combining your suggestions). So far she's still whinging.. let's hope she gets stuck in to it soon though :)

Hey, does anyone have tips on how to keep a pup quiet whilst in quarantine? She can see other dogs from the pen, and is unfortunately a lone rescue, so has no friends. She has toys etc, but anyone have any good tips on stopping the barking/whining/howling? We're trying to stay in our neighbours good books! :)

dancinbs - thanks I'll give that a go SecretKei - food works but we don't like leaving food with them when we aren't there because little fights can break out between her and the other dog.. We have also resorted to buying 99c plastic buckets for her to chew, but it doesn't fully keep her away from everything else :p

She has plenty to do! lol Plays for hours (with the other dog and with us). Apart from her agility training she isn't walked often as she is still lead training and still gets a bit of anxiety in new places. We are working on this though. She is far from my first dog so I can tell you that she does get plenty of stimulation we have never had one as destructive as her though.. Even the trainers at her classes are baffled by her behaviour

Hey guys, Was just wondering if anyone had any extra advice for me to try to help my dog. She is a 16 month old Staghound x Wolfhound (desexed). Basically she destroys anything she can get her teeth on - our mower, our BBQ, compost bin, any toy we have ever given her, buckets, our outdoor furniture etc (the list goes on). We have tried kongs, bones, toys on rotation, removing most things from the yard.. Kongs she just chews apart (actually breaks and rips them), bones get chewed and when she is done she goes back to whatever she can find. She isn't alone, we have another dog and they play together. She also goes to agility classes every week. We have a big yard and she gets plenty of attention. She does in day, night, when we are out, and when we are home. She used to pull washing off the line too but we've trained her out of that. I don't want suggestions like tying her up or locking her up as I don't think that will address the problem at all.. Any other hints or advice that has worked for you would be appreciated!!
