Unless through a rescue T? Would that be different?

Yes we just wren't allowed to lift up tin or play near wood piles etc. Avoid them un general and wait until they could be shoo'ed away from steps etc. All the sensible stuff. I don't think I ever encountered angry/frightened snakes until I moved to Canberra, walking on Mount Ainslie and saw brown snakes rear up.

What an amazing setup!

As a kid, we grew up with red bellies and were taught not to bother them. The ones living around people & dogs didn't seem too fussed and would sprawl out on steps or on the road so you just let them be. Obviously they weren't terriers, mostly kelpies and heelers. The most dangerous things around for the dogs were the paralysis ticks.

Eek, not a great spokesperson. I'm not going to put myself through watching his ramblings. He's gotten in $100k worth of trouble before for gobbing off nonsense on FB.

A Delta/NDTF trainer puppy class would be ideal. It sounds like it's really the owners who need to be trained or refreshed on puppy problems. I've never really known a 'vicious' Cav. Happy to be corrected, they are more of a breed specific rescue. I'm in Sydney and it's so horrible today. I wouldn't leave a puppy out there. Brrrrr.

There are pet specific road transport companies.

Much better written article than some I've seen. It's really tough going at the moment. We all knew this would happen but I can't help but feel that the spike in dog attacks is also somehow related too. In particular, dogs that weren't socialised with humans because of lockdown. And/or with owners who for any number of reasons let all the training and even containment go way down the list of obligations when making ends meet is a priority. Or as they say in the article, yes people have lost interest or want to move on with their life minus dog obligations. Sad but true. I try not to focus on the negative reasons for surrender inquiries (it'll just do your head in) and just think about the dog's needs.

Using the article info you just have to google 'Pine Mountain Warrego Highway pet supply', the results will come up. https://www.facebook.com/stocksyardproduce1991/posts/pfbid02PGmdqnsV2FR5Um1zpkPtSGq8RUySHPiCHcrR6CEvQC4NBYHaYCBSPM5ms2sDdDLfl

No, sorry I was not responding to you, just in general.

I am sad to see the amount of anti-rescue sentiment on Dol. Who cares what buying or adopting is called. It's all semantics. As is whatever you believe the term is for ownership should be. All I ask is people love and care for their dogs for their entire lifetime.

Scam. Can be reported. Dollar amounts (proof of selling) are against FB rules. https://www.facebook.com/policies_center/commerce/animals That's why sellers ask to be called or messaged directly and can't use phrases like -'for sale'.

Any reason you have the dog back but not refunding? As far as I know, consumer law means you refund if the 'item' is returned.

Given my real life experience with backyarders vs alternative registry vs ANKC I know who I would choose.

Snuffle mats and IQ puzzles basic stuff but so fun.

Definitely sense of humour OMG. So funny. I'm absolutely sure I'm not imagining things. And a great way of saying they are p*ssed off with you. Silkies do the 'cold shoulder'. Are other breeds here great at shunning? They all definitely communicate with us.

My orphan pups need to be encouraged to chew. So I was online shopping. https://www.budgetpetproducts.com.au/search/java+wood And they are from coffee trees which I though was toxic to dogs (unless it's just the beans and such). So I didn't buy them anyway.

There are legal codes in all states for boarding facilities and the relevant contact for you is the Dept of Environment and Water SA. (DEW) I'm very sorry for your experience and best wishes for some progress.

Hi again Zookoo! Agreeing with Perse, the spine is so complex, with any number of potential issues far beyond what you can find on the internet without a diagnosis first. Dr Google will often scare the pants off people! Once you have your vet advice I'd really love to know what they say.

Video is gone.

@Enrique May I ask, why was she declared dangerous in the first place?

Not saying this lightly but I completely agree. She's a time bomb.

Why on earth were those dear little dogs in a 'boot camp'?

Poor Freya but there's sooo many Rotties in pounds at the the moment. In NSW Declared Dangerous are illegal to rehome, what happens in Qld? Incredible that they have asked you to organise her euthanasia! No offence but I can't see your qualifications on your website. It would give people confidence in your rehab of Freya if you published them.
