Yes! Definitely. That would be excellent. I also quite fancy these :laugh:

Was wondering this also :)

Of course she does! She is gorgeous in whatever she is wearing, or not!

Yep! Henry is Orange,Kokoda is light blue (aqua) and Deniki is Red! Their harnesses and leads are always those colours. Collars too but they dont typically wear them. It doesn't extend to toys or beds etc. though, because they all share them :D ETA in that picture to the side they are coded too haha Kokoda does also have 2 other harnesses from when he was a solo dog that he wears occasionally, green and light brown (because he looks so handsome in them, and he is a feral who gets the others dirty..)

Personally, i would still let her out to toilet in your yard. You can bring parvo home on your shoes.. so unless you too arent leaving the house i think its fine she goes outside. But with the puppy pads its the same idea, watch her like a hawk, as soon as she looks like she needs to go, take her, after she eats, sleeps or plays, take her, every few hours, take her, and praise lavishly when she goes in the right spot.

I add it to the mix :) With the odds i got in my house you have a 25% chance of them smelling like pee Dont think it affects humans either.

A Glucosamine, chondroitin mix. I have started using this one for Henry and Kokoda, and Deniki as a preventative, and its quite good :) My vet was really happy with its ingredients too. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Canine-MSM-Chondroitin-Glucosamine-Powder-400gm-Dog-Joint-Arthritis-Dysplasia-/151171227517?hash=item233281df7d A fish oil supplement would be good as a preventative type thing too as well as green lipped muscle (either whole as treats, or powdered/capsule forms.) And i have had many people who have had great success with the rosehip vital, but i have never used it on my own dogs and i am not sure if it works as a preventative or not?

Sure can, will ask tomorrow. Chris has been working here for 40 years, and remembers all the things like that :D

Saw this on fb, how about this for a halloween costume :D I loved it. ETA, dont know who original picture belongs to , but i wish i did so i could tell them how genius they are!

Mine get bones all the time. Chicken wings, necks, turkey necks, then the not so edible ones, brisket bones, marrow bones etc. I gave them roo ribs once or twice but they freaked me out with the long shards they get crunched into. I feed raw, so bones are needed for calcium, plus they provide teeth cleaning and enrichment :) I work in a vet clinic, and recently had a dog in that was given cooked lamb bones and was severely constipated. Thankfully no further complications, just IV fluids and an enema needed, rather than surgery.. ETA: i have had no bone related incidents with my own dogs over the years, other than Kokoda swallowing a chicken neck whole and regurgitating it 5 seconds later He now chews them really well so clearly that wasnt pleasant for him..

Henry smelt disgusting after about a week. Like cat pee

i too use doug english's recipe, with 1 tbsp cyelon cinnamon :) My dogs aren't fans of it, but i think it helps Henry. His skin has been better since being on it, but i do give it to hip for his hips The other two just get it anyway! I should take it also, but also cannot stand the taste..

His spot looks a bit like a love heart in that second picture :)

I could not do that. I hate maggots, and they always seem to accompany a stench. Never pretty haha

in Brisbane its almost always above 25 degrees So we dont follow that rule. Whatever the forecasted temp for that day, I just walk early mornings and/or evenings and nights, if it is still hot, as it often is in summer, i will walk somewhere with access to a creek, a river or the beach. And if necessary they wear cool coats I am lucky enough that if i wanted, i can walk out the back gate straight into a park where a lap can be done with no footpaths or bitumen - so nice on the paws! ETA: Crazy hot weather, like 37 +, or lower but ridiculously humid, we just do inside training, but that doesn't happen often.

So cool!

that is adorable

If it were mine i would. the bulldogs i now barely have any necks, so the harnesses are good. And being a brachy breed i would always opt for the harness. But obviously thats just for general walking, not the show ring The breeder also may just use collars and its up to you. Also all my puppies ahve accepted walking in a harness easier than on a collar. They learn that also, but we start with a harness. Keeps the lead away from their mouth a bit to stop the leahs biting in the first couple of weeks.

Yes we do need a word for them, dogless seems fitting :) But their not always the dogless. They're just the ones with dogs as pets at times. So id go for one of the others, and doggles is a brand, so would have to be duggles

Roova's got most of it covered. You possibly want a harness for a Bulldog, to keep their airways as clear as possible to help them breathe with their squished faces

Thats what i was going to say. Really the most important thing. how about this

Love it! He is so cute. It'll grow back He can have a beautiful winter coat instead!

No started 5 dogs on it and none had an issue

So gorgeous!

...that's actually not correct, yes, no cooked food, but wild dogs and their ancestors eat and ate grass and grain as they often eat / ate the total prey, with the stomach and its content. There are / were times when prey is / was rare, hence, due to evolution, they got nutrients even from the full stomach of a dear, rabbit, antelope etc.... so while meat might be the preferred food, the dog's digestion system allows also to digest grass and grains. So feeding your dog with dry food that also contains some fiber / grains is actually quite a natural diet. There is now research/observations to suggest that the stomach content is shaken out before eating. So it is still up to you what you believe You know what, she wasn't being walked much at all due to the hours I was away. I'm sure that had an impact as well! Can you feed dogs drumsticks? I though weight bearing bones were a no go? They're normally talking about weight bearing bones on the bigger animals that can't be digested. My dogs don't have any difficulty with them. Great to know. She would love drumsticks or Marylands. My cavaliers eat both of these no worries :) So your GSD should be fine!
