I do wonder why the police bothered to catch the dog instead of shooting it on the spot when still attacking the woman when they arrived? Although hope they do an autopsy to see if it had brain damage or something else to trigger what is being said is abnormal behaviour

the dog world went crackers some 20 years ago, after someone discovered the new in stock "compost bins" for only $19 (that was twenty years ago I think) they are four panels of wire mesh almost identical to the puppy pens the pet shops sell for over $70 . every dog forum was spreading the great news.... there were constant updates which branches still had "puppy pens" in stock and how many left. I still use them. perfect for travelling, I have two and so they can play in a big 8 sided pen when we arrive at vets or show.... mmm the price has gone up but the same thing in a pet shop today is 179 so still a bargain,, i put them together long side down so 1 mtre square pen. the only catch is always use a pair of pliers to crush the ends of the twirly bit after u have it in place or the puppies shaking it they spin down and so it opens like a flower as they spin to the ground.. also I dont put the spinners on all four sides, get two small boat clips for one side and then can fold easily for travelling and or clip to second pen if want bigger run area for puppies, put together low for small puppies or high for bigger puppies if they climb...............https://www.bunnings.com.au/tumbleweed-garden-waste...

remarkable isnt it

O my! surely that first one has to be the winner... beyond priceless, just sums up everything about our dogs doesn't he/she. the good, the adorable, the EEEEEEEK! and no is already too late

incredibly sad, suspect he is lucky to be alive. probably will never recover from the trauma. so unnecessary, nothing the owner could do can be adequate. words fail At lest he did survive and will be back home with his family

What you may ask has this to do with purebred dogs. actually a lot now we live in the age of dead end kennels. less sires available to maintain diversity just for starters it seems. Without even dipping into the subject of shrinking female lines available https://listentoyourhorse.com/equine-genome-project-gives-modern-breeders-a-big-fat-fail/?fbclid=IwAR2qyUzpK79vn5E27XewkL9Qpgs5nSmP6_eSHBCE6XO6noFCRZ310kbnKmw

these mini bear dogs seem to have done the job too

ok it's american, but about time someone wrote a book about the industry. remarkable the parallels the writers were bitten and learned first hand and horrified by what they learned the hard way. Lisa Layton has sampled the introduction to Laura and Rick Bell's second edition of their book Animal Owners Under Attack, now titled The Animal Rights War https://www.amazon.com/…/1092300473/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_U_T9Q…: "Did you know that animal owners are getting abused every day around the world? ~ Did you know that animals are being removed from the homes they share with their loving owners every day? ~ Did you know that many animals are treated horribly by the people that steal them from their owners and a high percentage are convenience killed? ~ Did you know that the animal rights movement is buying influence with state legislators to get increasingly restrictive laws passed? ~ Did you know that these laws create a system where private citizens are given police powers to arrest animal owners and steal their animals? ~ Did you also know that these private animal police are exempt from government required accountability and transparency requirements even though they are performing government work? ~ Do you know most animal owner arrests and animal thefts are conducted under false pretense? ~ Do you know that anonymous complaints from a nasty neighbor, ex-spouse or partner, business competitors, AR trolls, your vet, etc. can get you arrested and cost you all of your animals? ~ Do you know that cities, counties, townships, etc. that are not successful regarding enforcing illegal zoning laws will make up reasons to steal your animals and arrest you? ~ Do you know what the true agendas of popular animal rights organizations are? ~ Do you know the differences between self-funded rescues and sanctuaries and donation-funded rescues and sanctuaries? ~ Are you aware of what the consequences of a low tax and smaller government agenda are? ~ Do you know why false pretense animal owner arrests and animal thefts are not a Republican versus Democrat issue? ~ Do you know who wrote the United Nation's Agenda 21? ~ Do you know what the original purpose of Agenda 21 was? ~ Have you read actual stories from unjustly treated animal owners? ~ Are you tuned-in to how some animal owners are fueling the animal rights movement? ~ Would you believe it if we told you how the negative events conducted by animal protection organizations parallel what is going on with child protective services and elder care services? ~ You probably use social media yourself, but do you realize how these under-regulated media platforms contribute to bullying and the defamation of average Americans and their families? ~ As you read our book you will get the answers to all of these questions and a whole lot more. Six years ago we were unjustly attacked by people posing as friends. People that we had helped over and over again for several months. At the time, we operated a Sanctuary and Hospice for horses. We had horses that were ill that we and our vets were treating. The horses eventually got better, but not until after the people we were helping used their poor condition to rev-up a social media attack on us, which triggered complaints against us by complete strangers. Their attack used staged videos and altered photos, but that did not matter to social media mobs who are addicted to staged reality show drama. At the time, we were naive to the negative affects of social media, but we soon learned. Since that time we have educated ourselves on issues facing animal owners every day. We were lucky, if you can call what happened to us being lucky. We were criminally investigated for 5 1/2 months. We were completely exonerated and never were charged with a crime and never had animals taken. The end of the investigation coincided with the horses recovery. To this day we still have people falsely accuse us of animal abuse and it seems there is nothing we can do about it. Thank you for considering buying our book. We know you will learn a lot about the animal protection industry. There was a lot we didn't understand 6 years ago and we suspect there is a lot you may not understand. Laura and Rick Bell copied from the Amazon site where the book is for sale "'The Animal Rights War' exposes the seedy underbelly of the Animal Protection Industry (API). In this modern age of social media, most people have seen or imagined the positive affects of the evolving API, but there are disturbing affects too. 'The Animal Rights War' is a unique compilation of facts, combined with real stories of interactions between animal owners and the Animal Protection Industry (API). Do you really know the difference between Animal Rights, Animal Welfare, Animal Rescue, and Animal Advocacy? Have you considered what positive AND negative affects social media has had on the API? 'The Animal Rights War' identifies all of the different groups, sectors, and sub-sectors that make up the Animal Protection Industry (API). APIs include self-funded rescues and sanctuaries, donation-funded rescues, humane societies, and SPCAs, and taxpayer-funded government agencies, and everything in between. You will see how money, politics, social media, and human nature are all playing a role in structuring an Animal Protection Industry that isn't always fair or just. Most of us want animals treated well, so we support Animal Protection Organizations with our time and money. While there are many good Animal Protection Organizations, new laws and social media have allowed the API to become corrupted by an ever increasing number of bad actors. 'The Animal Rights War' is the only resource available today that tells the WHOLE story.One thing is for sure; when you get done reading 'The Animal Rights War' you will have a much better grasp of where your API donations go and you will have been advised on how to protect yourself, family members, friends, and animals from the bad actors. You will be surprised to learn what is going on in the Animal Protection Industry, we guarantee it! Buy 'The Animal Rights War' now!

Has this been posted before? https://www.winknews.com/2019/06/27/fda-identifies-16-problem-food-brands-for-pet-dogs/?fbclid=IwAR1--VDLT2oQTMDEs2G-OPzzWQ_C8Q9Glb5jBL4Fe9jalOu7RGiv4W3WXyM

Wow Ok its about horses but they believe the findings apply to all frozen semen https://www.horsetalk.co.nz/2019/06/26/differences-gene-expression-embryos-frozen-semen/?fbclid=IwAR0vzbkOM2_FfVrlyzXg1g-MTYNAa2PORknTgXfkmz6mj0L9N9dc9LuV5M4

Well considering our pollies only believe in taking good care of corporations, the bigger, the more tax free they are............ then it makes sense.

interesting statistics https://www.michaelwest.com.au/nsw-doggy-death-row/?fbclid=IwAR3OcrdEWp0bh2sTSp0NjaCsRNU7kiUh8Wspqv00lRMBsWkNoG-Tms7Ux8Q

the problem is the minute you start talking about genetics and percentages, the majority seem to get glazed eyes and cant seem to get their head around it... I know when I was first sent to study genetics, at times I had to read the same pages two or three times or more before I began to understand what the writer was telling me... it is not a simple subject is it doesn't help when many authors write to educate the already educated to the word speak, so the newbie who doesn't understand the word speak yet feels like they are negotiating a new language

"I have seen a few hermaphrodites... also some with sight/hearing issues..." our first Border Collie turned out to be an Hemaphrodite, he/she was black with a white collar and four white feet. The suspect cause of hearing issues according to Georgina Childs BvSc at Sydney Uni vet clinic is suspected to be linked to either white spotting, ie Dalmations. There is also genetic testing happening to see if a genetic component is detectable. Horses with splash white faces involving or close the the ear tend to be deaf, apparently if the white includes the eardrum it is deaf. in goats the gene for hornless, which is a dominant, produces a high incidence of Hermophrodites when hornless to hornless are bred together. yet have never seen this problem in poll to poll cattle?

actually if the dogs are English Staffordshire Bull terriers blue is listed as acceptable in the standard. ie "· Colour: Red, fawn, white, black or blue, or any one of these colours with white. Any shade of brindle or any shade of brindle with white. Black and tan or liver colour highly undesirable." if the dog they are referring to is American Staffordshire the standard is "· Colour: Any colour, solid, parti, or patched is permissible, but all white, more than 80% white, black and tan, and liver not to be encouraged." It is the French Bulldog that does not register blue. "· Colour: The only correct colours are: Brindle; Fawn; Pied; Brindle – Colour pattern caused by a mixture of black hairs and fawn hairs. White markings permitted provided that brindle predominates. Eye rims, eyelashes and lips black. Fawn – Clear, self-coloured fawn with or without a black mask. White markings permitted, provided that fawn predominates. Cream and red shades less desirable. Eye rims, eyelashes and lips black. Pied – Brindle Pied: White predominates with brindle patches. (The brindle as defined above). Fawn Pied: White predominates with fawn patches. Whites are classified with pieds for show purposes. In pieds, eye rims, eyelashes and lips should preferably be black. Any white in the above colours should be clear with no ticking or spots. All other colours highly undesirable, including solid black, black and white, black and tan, mouse, grey/blue, liver/chocolate and all patterns of these colours." the breeders of the Weimaraner eliminated alopecia from their gene pool decades ago....ALL Weimaraner's are blue, a percentage are also double chocolate as well, hence double dilute, with none of the problems seen that the breeds that have not eliminated the alopecia elle from the gene pool, this was achieved before dna profiling made eliminating undesirable genes so much easier. So it is proven this can be eliminated. "· Colour: Silver, roe or mouse grey, as well as shades of these colours. Head and leathers generally slightly paler. Only small white markings on chest or toes permitted. Sometimes a more or less defined trace occurs along the back. Dogs with definite reddish yellow markings may only be given the classification good. Brown marking is a serious fault" If owners and breeders want blue with out the skin issues, it is an alle that is the cause of the problem, not the actual blue gene, (for example a bay horse would be black if it did not carry and additional "agouti" gene.. without that gene and only one copy is needed, my bay stallion only has one agouti gene, over half of his foals are black when bred to mares that do not carry the agouti gene)........ on average 1 in 4 blue chihuahua's have blue gene alopecia, which my vet said proves there is a secondary elle affecting which puppies develop blue gene alopecia and which do not.. if only blue parents free of alopecia were selected the responsible elle could be eliminated from the gene pool and no more affected puppies would be born.

another woman in hospital this morning after two dogs attacked her... missed hearing the suburb. anyone know if she is ok?

saw this article have to wonder if there is a connection https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/06/women-autoimmune-diseases-pregnancy/591901/?utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_term=2019-06-18T14%3A40%3A27&utm_content=edit-promo&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR0Nu31d_pvOgpGvUIGsw9PBrwlz38_-scmeRmdsgbP_1kHGUcNDGMsJ9ZI

pretty impressed. wasn't deleted, not even the angry later poster. and received a reply of sorts...didnt answer my question is this comming to nsw though. J P S good luck with that. RSPCA ... PETA by another name (?) ... do not want to be transparent and are in no way dog / horse / cattle friendly and even less so to their owners. Hell will have frozen over x 3 before they get another cent of mine. RSPCA NSW Hi S, Please contact RSPCA South Australia if you have any questions in regards to the above case involving Border Collies. You can contact them here: https://www.rspcasa.org.au/contact/ and here: https://www.facebook.com/rspcasouthaustralia/ RSPCA NSW were not involved in this case (as it is out of our jurisdiction on New South Wales), so are unable to comment. Thanks. S Thank you. Although I am concerned that this has set a precedent and "chronic mental suffering" may become used in nsw to describe any dog that is "chary, wary or suspicious" of strangers, as this is a characteristic of many of our purebred and a percentage of x bred dogs as well? Few people realise what great guard and family protection dogs poodles are, so they too could fall foul of this as well if it is to become legislated as a basis for seizure and prosecution, as I am aware new laws are currently being drafted?

another one https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7150335/Dogs-evolved-muscles-sad-eyes-trigger-nurturing-response-owners.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR1F47L52bZDb46GWeecBncFwtDjFV5PfaTQ80wFruyhxmET51yp8koeq0A

this could get interesting? rspca nsw news feeds keep coming up on my facebook page. so asked this question of one of their posts... S Pity rspca failed the sa border collies so badly? killed them all as not rehomable.... all the ones the owner gave to the rescues had no trouble? Reply · 1d 0 RSPCA NSW Hi S, Please see below for RSPCA South Australia's statement and links to the correct information about this case. RSPCA South Australia is concerned about the level of misinformation being published and promoted on social media by certain individuals in regards to an ongoing prosecution case being heard in the Murray Bridge Magistrates Court. The online discussion threatens to negatively impact the legal process.

I have seen videos of the pens and they were not only very new, clean and far larger than the pens you hve at your facility? are these videos fake? Reply · 38m 0 S correction you are rspca nsw. I meant rspca sa sought and received permission to kill all ten, not just the 4 they did kill.. have you seen the videos? I had no idea that now dogs can be seized on the basis of "chronic mental suffering" or that inspectors are trained to make such findings from video evidence like this one posted? many breeds and border collies are a breed, not crossbreds are described as being (in the case of Lhasa apso's 'chary of strangers" other breeds "wary" or "suspicious" of strangers, is this now to be a valid reason for a dog to now be seized and euthanised? is this now law or in the process of being passed into law that all dogs must respond in a friendly fashion to complete strangers entering their home or be seized and put down? Is it to become law that no breed has the right to be "chary" "wary" or "suspicious" of strangers now or it will be seized and the owner charged?......here is the video. .... somehow I suspect this entire question will now be wiped from this thread rather than being answered, or am I just being suspicious?............here is the video.... your take on what is seen would be appreciated... well if this is answered and not deleted.................https://www.facebook.com/Mark.M.Aldridge.Independent/videos/10157253729924124/ Reply · 17m 0 S I noticed also that if that dog had long toenails her owner could have been charged with neglecting them, in this case the fact the inspector noted they are short is being given as cause of suspicion? so there is another cause for concern, trim their nails and it can be construed the dog is suffering mental issues, leave them long and the dog is suffering neglect, what is the safe length for a dogs toenails then? Also note all seen in that video are in good body condition and coats in good condition

quite a few have noticed too that the incidence of hip displacia for example was never like it became after the emergence of manufactured dog food... I am of the age where you went to the butchers for your dog food. not the pet shop or the corner store. extras other than their meat and bones was the vegetables and scraps from the table. things have changed so much. My grandmothers kelpie lived to 18 few do today, does make you wonder. as for the incidence of cancer both human and canine and feline is incredible now compared to the 50's and 60's The sad story of Red Symonds son and the electric generator beside his home has to make you wonder about our new you beaut mobilephone age. the warnings about what 5g will do is being completly ignored as telstra is rolling it out already. it has been noted that even 3g and 4g are contributing to the demise of migrating insects and birds, bees included as they muck up their direction ability. scary times

tend to agree with the author, they are reading your body language far faster than you are theirs, actually. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/that-guilty-look-that-your-dog-is-giving-you-isnt-actually-guilt-theyre-scared/?fbclid=IwAR3-EhH-zU-KFbtWYLEbFWAW3zJeXE2ypkt-eV4VPNAXzVehb1xrlzTQH64

this guy's horse was lucky, he managed to save her and wasnt attacked himself..oops forgot he was bitten on the foot. seems to be a recurring theme here? https://7news.com.au/news/animals/pit-bull-attack-dog-filmed-viciously-biting-horse-on-wollongong-beach-c-164825?fbclid=IwAR1bhQgj3Lk8poOYdULTBuha42eLA62RJ9Cxo4dAFsaM7ZgaBKLxnWUuDRY

yes, we have all been there, just seems so personal you forget it is the same for everyone at the time
