Happy birthday boys

I always love looking at photos of your dogs, they are adorable! And your photography is really great, well done

Very sorry, poor little man.

Wonderful news

Oh I hope she will be ok big hugs!

Get well soon Yogi

so sorry for your loss GB :D

I will definitely come and visit at some stage, as your area is one of the top places to check out on my list of 'where to move to' options

I was really looking forward to this but have discovered that my dog-minder (ex-OH) already has plans for that weekend so I can't come :D

Hugs to Ollie

hmmmmm.... I always love hanging around dog shows... and onstillnflash, maybe I should come and check out this place you live in

Looks great!

But I am curious - how much did it cost? And what happens when the dogs pee and poop on it???

Yep, working in retail I can understand where they are coming from, I have been shouted at, sworn at, my staff have had things thrown at them... and quite often it is for something that is not our mistake, not our fault, and often not even something we can do anything about

just stumbled across this being advertised on facebook

In some states the old laws about greyhounds wearing muzzles have not been repealed yet. However in other states they do not have to be muzzled. Many greyhounds are no more aggressive than any other dogs. Before I had greys I used to have JRTs and they also have a very high prey drive and one of mine killed a pet rabbit (long story). But I doubt that greys are any more 'dangerous' than many other breeds.

On the flip side, I have fostered quite a few greyhounds, and there were two that I did not rehome, but very sadly had them euthanased, as I believe that they would have killed a small fluffy dog if given the chance.

But I have also had a couple of crossbreed fosters PTS as well for the same reason.

I think they are hard to rehome because of the misconceptions that the general public has about them eg they must be vicious because they wear a muzzle, and they are race dogs so they must need lots of exercise (nothing is further from the truth lol!). Also, i just think that when most people think about getting a pet dog, the idea of getting a greyhound would never enter their heads.

very very cute!

I am so sorry for your loss

I have a working dog background.

Re the chasing the horse (or even LOOKING at it twice). This is not on. At all. Get some advice at the clinic about stopping this behaviour. I've seen working dogs shot for this. Personally, the dog should be on lead near the horse, correct her everytime she reacts to the horse like it is an animal to be herded. You need to turn her instinct off with regards horses, poultry, children and bikes.

My sentiments exactly.

I've been around horses all my life & know that a lot of that behaviour will not be tolerated by a horse/pony. This dog needs to learn boundaries when it comes to herding. Otherwise it is likely this won't be the last accident.

Agree with these posters, the dogs need to be prevented from chasing the pony. A horse can do a LOT of damage to a dog, I have seen a pony come down on a dog and smash the dogs leg, bone shattered, dog needed major surgery to pin and plate the leg back together, with 6 weeks of being crated afterwards. The dog will always walk with a limp. The vet fees cost over $3000 all up.

BTW, almost immediately after the pony landed on the dog, he was trying to get up and walk and had to be restrained, so yes they will get up and walk around even if there is major damage.

hope you all have a good time If i had known earlier I might have come for a visit as some of my favourite relatives live near Kempsey.

What are the dates?
