This is very strange indeed. There is one thing in getting some details wrong in a story, but what was originally reported and supposedly corroborated by witnesses seems so far away from falling down that it makes no sense at all. If these new comments are correct then how this ever went to court is a travesty.

The Raw Chow should be rehydrated with warm water, so it is not like Ziwi

I would absolutely contact the other breeders to discuss their dogs, breeding and forthcoming litters. This will help you build knowledge and decide which breeder you will have the best match with. As far as being on more than one waiting list, I am not sure on this, some require deposits anyway. Hopefully others will have more comments on this. I know from personal experience with my breed that coat colour is the last consideration from the breeders point of view. Some breeders will choose the puppy that best suits the new family based on temperament and personality, so again colour does not usually come into the equation. I really wanted a black and white husky with blue eyes. I got a wolf grey with brown eyes and I couldn't be happier, sometimes being flexible has great rewards. :) I would love to know what breed you are considering?

I crate trained both my monsters, Ronin the Husky was fine but I wished I started earlier with Caitlin :laugh:

:D I honestly do find the topic fascinating and nice to have some light humour on a DoL topic

This thread has gone to sh1t :laugh:

My boy has been on them every morning since 6 weeks old (2 weeks while still with the breeder) he is now 8 months, so that is roughly 390 chicken necks he has eaten thus far :laugh: no problems from either end - touch wood :D

Oh no - I am so sorry for your loss .

Oh no, you must be so worried. I wish your dogs all the very best. Thank you for the warning as well, we use a lot of coffee so I will be extra vigilant after your post.

I picked up some brisket bones today, Ronin is really enjoying crunching on it. I gave it frozen and he is about half way through and has been chewing for around 15mins, so this is a good result. Many thanks to those that mentioned these

Maybe get him to feed her especially by hand if possible.

Great stuff! Onward and upward, just go slow and keep up the good work.

A large bob-a-lot

Oh, thanks for that info Diva, sounds like I won't try that one.

I get the snapper heads from the local fish monger, $3 per kg! Roo tails from Pet food supplier $5 for a bag.

.. my husband is already complaining that the dogfood take toooo much space in our freezer..in addition he is now all the time asking: is this for the dogs or can I use it. :laugh: ...and he complaints that I take more care about the dogs diet than ours... which is NOT true... I swear :D Yep, I got in trouble for buying a kilo of sand whiting yesterday! I am going to dust off the fishing rods real soon :laugh:

I know what you mean, I couldn't eat it myself but many Europeans do and I believe that it is good to vary the meat sources when on a PMRD. I am pretty sure that the pet stuff is from feral sources. Feral Camel would be one I would one type I would like to get if possible.

... just came back from the local pet meat supplier and they have horse neck! Gunna get me some of that next time as the freezer is now full with frozen roo tail, whole sand whiting, lamb necks and beef necks! Ronin is one lucky dog :laugh:

Could pls someone explain what 'weight bearing bones' and 'chicken marylands' are? My English-German dictionary is here not helpful at all..... :D I've started raw feeding as well and I'm always keen on reading what others are feeding. BTW: Did someone find tripe in WA/Perth? Checked with my butcher and he told me that tripe is being exported overseas, they hardly see any.... Is that possibly true? Cheers Birgit Yeah, 'raw green tripe' is hard to find. Butchers are apparently not allowed to sell or even have raw green tripe on the premises due to health regulations. You can easily get tripe (white), but the white stuff is bleached and no good as all of the good stuff has been removed. I buy the K9 Naturals Raw Green Tripe (fresh frozen) from Petbarn. It is around $12 per kilo bag. A local shop called "Pet Meat Suppies" looked at me like I was an idiot when I asked if they had any and flatly said that you can't buy it!?! There is a pet meat butcher in Bayswater that gets it in though - I will try and find the number. Hi, thanks for your info. Appreciated! Would be great to get the info abut the pet meat butcher in Bayswater. My google search didn't come up with anything. Hmmm, I can't find it now either. This place does it though - http://www.thepetchef.com.au/setup/menus/dogs

Some great ideas thanks! @ Queen Maeby Regarding the query about weight bearing bones, it is only due to them being very hard which can break teeth that they are to be avoided. But as you say a pug probably wouldn't try this so I am sure it is okay. @Whiskered, yeah I also freeze em, didn't slow down chicken or turkey necks or lamb flaps much, but I still do it and it is great for the beef necks.
