I suspect you have no idea yet of the new operating conditions they have decided on, no more tendering to run council pounds, they will no longer renewing the leases and the council will have to run them themselves or find others to do so... BUT they will handpick the most saleable from the pounds and take them so that way those killed by the pounds wont be going on their books as having been put down by rspca.

Just appeared on Faceplant.. further to the first ones I copied and pasted. " D B You will all no doubt remember my post the other day where l said "here's the real facts".I have to fess up that l got some of it wrong. You would no doubt realise there is a lot of outrage and confusion following an extraordinary event like the Bull Terrier debacle. With many true statements interwoven with supposition. I will now state that I stand by 70% of what l stated in that post as being true. I can now say ...a) the owner did not ring the rspca asking for help - it was a full on raid which they'd been planning for some time, b) she did not have the dogs ready for evacuation due to the fire, the dogs were never in any danger from the fire. The rspca has now issued a statement to "dispel the rumors", which pretty much addresses each point raised in my post, in exactly the same order as my post. My post has now gone viral and it's unfortunate that it was not 100% accurate, but now that l know much more about how it all went down let me just say that only a couple of points were blatantly wrong, as mentioned above. The lady's vet was interviewed by the rspca yesterday, no joy for them there. Neighbour's are saying ALL the dogs were always spotless, and exercised every day, multiple times per day. Due to upcoming action l cannot disclose too much more but will endeavor to update you in coming weeks."

certainly learning to walk fast, as I recall, in the earlier press release most of the dogs didn't know how to walk when let out of the cages? unsocalised, traumatised? forget the rest of the reasons they need funds to rehabilitate them, Well the expected $60,000 for the 40 puppies will help (a little) towards expenses surely? BULL TERRIERS UPDATE BULL TERRIERS UPDATE Dogs from the recent Bull Terrier raid have started to slowly make their way to adoptions at our Brisbane, Wacol and Noosa campuses where they are very quickly finding loving forever homes. Once available you will be able to see them online atwww.rspcaqld.org.au/adopt. This website is automatically updated on availability status within 30-45 minutes of the change taking place. There will be no holds or interested parties taken for these dogs. Interstate dog adoptions may be available on a case-by-case basis. As more of the dogs get ready for their forever homes we will update you with any other RSPCA adoption locations across Queensland. Please be patient with our teams as we manage this interest. Adult dogs will be $500 to adopt and young puppies will be $1,500. All dogs will be desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and up-to-date with their worming just like all of our pets. If you’re interested in making an ongoing commitment to volunteer or foster some of our pets in need you can apply online atwww.rspcaqld.org.au/volunteer orwww.rspcaqld.org.au/foster. Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

depends on how she matures, if she cant control her body temp in hot days you will lose her. my niece has a french bulldog, cute as paint but when they let him out for a toilet run during the summer if its midday he can seriously overheat in minutes once outside and minus his air conditioning.. have to play it by ear and see how she matures

I agree with all but one very important point you make..... " (from looking at the condition of some of the dogs, I'd say there were certainly some serious welfare concerns)" that was not correct, every single dog was not only in good condition without exception all were over optimum body weight... one dog and one dog only had a sore face. what no one has mentioned, and it did happen.. despite the fact they could easily have simply loaded the dogs in those crates into the vehicles and horse floats they removed them in, they chose not too. they put the dogs loose in the horse floats... because of this lapse of judgement two of the dogs with no health issues before they left the property, had the be put down due the the extent of their injuries due to being mauled by the other dogs they were put in with loose. Hello folks, bull terriers too can the pretty aggressive to each other, they too were a fighting breed during their formation...... That is pure negligence, same as the Waterways koala deaths in their custody. ... even if they didn't want to keep her transport crates, and that's what they were in those sheds there was nothing to stop them using them and returned when they came for the next batch as stated in their own press release? I noticed the rspca made no mention of the two deaths, in any of their press releases..

Been campaigning for transparency AND avenue of appeal SINCE 1995 after what happened to my friend Marion Alcorn and her ten Arabian's, what then happened to Stringy was so shocking, afraid it broke me badly, yet i already knew after what happened to Marion and her horses, human welfare is zero and animal welfare is not on their agenda, yet maybe I still believed what happened to her and her four mares, three colts and three fillies was a one off. Well until I learned no one is safe.. as for even a hint of at least an avenue of appeal,..................... so far, ZILCH! i AND SO many others thought after the Waterways enquiry and the deaths of the two Koala's, particularly in light of Leon Mills beautifully written submission by an ex Public Prosecutor would have achieved something... but no, utterly ignored.

Hey I had no idea there was anyone in Sydney who will debark a dog these days? is there or are they like the unicorn extinct? I know two dogs that will be put down and their owners are distraught beyond words...... they must be either debarked or euthanaised and neither can find a vet who will even discuss it . They rang me for help as I chipped both their dogs for them, but they dont realise I chip dogs not debark them..... pity the chips cant come with a volume control perhaps?

excellent rebuttal. urine soaked flooring means all that fluffy paper would not be dry shredded...it would be liquid mush? But hey what would I know... dry urine perhaps? no mention that it is fact that they only kept 40 to sell and are available now.....the puppies they do automatically, vaccinate, flea and worm all dogs, that was on Stringlys bill too, even though he had only been vaccinated the week before they stole him that day and flea and heartworm treated 24 hours before .... how the double dosage so close together of a 1.2 kg bit of nothing, didn't kill him was another miracle. (yes I have anger management issues. so would you if it happened to your dog and you were told what happened is YOUR fault). all the adults have been given to the bull terrier rescue , and no money given to them to pay for their desexing which is one of the condition that must be met before they can rehome them and or retrained if does need to be done, certainly nothing for the adults will be paid for by the rspca...

I noticed the same thing, and the fact that despite the words "filth" the only filth to be seen was shredded paper and we all know how many doo's a dog that size does in a day... not one in sight....that's when I began to wonder..... obviously these dogs are so well trained to wait to be let out for a run, not one had made a mess in its cage??????? or someones working full time pooper scoopering????? there's a story here we are not being told.... only took a week to come to light...remarkable it did though..

nothing like trial by media is there... another post people are asking to be shared..... sorry have to copy and paste..... ...So several days ago the RSPCA gained around 110 Bull Terriers from a breeder. What we do know so far is: The RSPCA said they were seized, owner said she called and asked for help to move them due to bushfires The RSPCA contacted every media outlet and told them how bad the conditions were and how the dogs were in terrible condition. The RSPCA when called by consumers not 24hrs later said that the dogs would be for sale at around $1800 each for puppies. The RSPCA kept all the puppies and younger dogs and now (not more that 4 days later) have them up for sale. The older (ie ones they can’t sell) were given to Bull Terrier rescue UNDESEXED and with no support for vets bills/care offered. The RSPCA is now calling for donations to pay for the vet bills (what bills?) for the dogs they are SELLING What other organization has the power to take your property and then 4 days later sell it and still be able to cry poor??? Time that the RSPCA was stripped of it’s power by the Government. To the ANKC – Please set up a fund to help breeders. Make sure if they do need help they can call their Canine Association first and know they will get support. Don’t let ANY ANKC breeder get to the point where they have to ask the RSPCA for help. I am happy to make the first donation.

unreal??? a week of character assination and it finally gets a mention on Dogzonline..... now for the REAL STORY.... J M shared a post. Admin · 19 hrs Another point of view to the recent RSPCA bullterrier seige. Mi Ownedbyanimals W 20 hrs SHARED POST.... and no I didn't write it....... Please keep it civil. Okay so here's the real story, a more disgusting tale of woe than you could ever have imagined. The property owner did not have 110 breeding dogs. Some of them were rescue dogs awaiting new homes and some were other people's dogs who had been left with the property owner to keep them safe from the fires in the area. The fire situation worsened and early in the morning she crated all the dogs ready to evacuate them. When it became obvious that she wasn't going to be able to get them all out in time, in desparation she called the rspca to see if they would/could assist with evacuating the dogs. The rspca said they wouldn't help unless she surrendered them to the rspca and so she was placed in a drastic situation and agreed to surrender them. The rspca arrived on the property and they then locked the owner in the house for 14 hours, refusing to let her tend to the dogs or give them water. This included a 2 week old puppy which was being bottle fed, they refused to let her feed it. God knows what has happened to that little one now as the rspca were too busy letting the whole situation deteriorate so they could get the pictures they needed of dogs panting in crates with no water etc etc. The dogs included imports and some of the top Bull Terrier bloodlines in the world. These lines have all now been lost to Australia. All dogs over 12 months old were given to Bull Terrier Rescue under rspca terms ie they MUST be desexed before being rehomed. The 40 young dogs and puppies have been kept by the rspca and they will be sold for top dollar. A nice little nestegg for the rspca, $80,000+ for very little work. The dogs were all in excellent condition and they were clean, fat, healthy and in fact could have left the property and gone straight to a show they were so clean. They all had wagging tails and did not show a single sign that any had been abused or neglected in any way. The video of the dogs in the dirty crates was taken after the 14 hours of rspca neglect had made the situation look as bad as it possibly could look. You'll notice the video only featured one room and the shed and did not show any other areas of the property ie her runs, her facilities etc. I can't even imagine the pain the owner has been put through watching the rspca do this to her beloved dogs by keeping her away from them on a very hot day with an imminent fire threat looming. Then to wake up the next morning and not have a single dog on the property would be soul destroying. Wondering if the bottle fed baby had survived. My heart really goes out to the owner of the dogs, l hope she gets help and does not have a complete breakdown over what they did to her beloved dogs. The rspca have now truly shown what an absolutely despicable bunch of psychopaths they are. Liars, bullies and completely heartless, they should not be given a mouse to care for let alone valuable breeding dogs like these. So now you have all the facts, yes there are always two sides to any story, and this just shows you can never believe any story the rspca tells FOOTNOTE. G K Not to mention they stuffed the dogs together in horse floats and trailers- no matter they’re stressed out Bull Terriers and guess what- 2 dogs put down once arrived at rspca because they’d mauled each other on the trip to shelter. Bravo rspca. f***ing disgrace. Manage S AND NO one is going to sue them for aggravated cruelty either!

I suggest you go with your idea, park, neutral territory... you dont want your boy to feel territorial first meeting. is your boy also a cavalier? if so once they get to know each other and all seems good then take home together, but until settled I wouldn't leave them together unattended for the first days until they have settled in. better to prevent any possible confrontation rather than deal with because you rushed things. remember to make your first dog first attention, then you dont create the problem yourself, the new boy will be feeling a little out of the loop but dont add to any by seeming to prefer the new boy over the original. make the fuss of the other boy while the other is busy in another room until they are settled with each other...then can be equal attention..

TEND TO AGREE staffie bull terriers have all the good and none of the bad baggage... my aunt bred them for decades. ... love em

Honestly, so glad you asked before you picked it up, There is a very good reason it is illegal to sell an unvaccinated, unmicrochipped puppy. Let alone unwormed puppy, the intestinal damage , even if wormed immediately can be too late and it will die anyway. RUN...........not walk, as fast as you can, away from that puppy. the 100 is a minuscule loss compared to what you may suffer if you dont, both financial and emotional . its heartbreak your heading for. Was asked to chip a puppy for a friends boyfriend.. same scene... soon as I saw the puppy I refused to chip it, no vaccination either, hot nose all danger signs. told them to take it to the vet immediately..... $2,700 later in vet bills it died, that was one very expensive puppy, a significant percentage of these unvaccinated, unwormed puppies ARE going to die. VERY expensively too if its you footing the bill. See it way, way too often. Shouldn't still be happening, there is not enough education of people happening. your next call should be the to police to report an illegal person, they are not a breeder, if they were, all the necessary would have been done.

I suspect someone must have come to the door while I was out and Jody jumped up onto the tank beside the door so she could see who was at the door as the windows run behind the tanks. With a view of the door. she had never done it before.
-
it seems minuscule, but when you start finding out your neighbours dogs are being diagnosed with heart-worm because they thought just that but mine are fine because i use ivermectin sheep drench shows its pretty busy out there although I live in the penrith nsw area so this place is riddled with heart worm obviously

I left Jodie in the house one day when I went shopping, came home to the tops of the two fish tanks caved in, the african violets and their soil all in the fish tanks, somehow the fish were still alive in all that mess, frantic catching and cleaning that took half a day.. one tank is six foot the other seven ,, so big tanks lots of water, but then there was lots of african violets... Jodie, glowing with pride at what a great view she discovered to be found on top of the tanks..sheesh had nightmares for months, at least the tops didn't break, just the movable lids fell in so she had not cuts anywhere. think she must have been part otter she was sopping wet and loving it, suppose she had tried catching the fish but failed fortunately. Sold the frontosia for $2,500 rather that go through that again.. had ten of them worth $250 each..

Yes I put that under the rug beside her bed, works well

dont know if if would work with dogs, but I care for a 92 yr old and to keep her safe from catching a toe on the carpet runner we have put blue tack under the edges so it cant lift or slip.. has worked great for a year now.

Buddy for a child with special needs: our experience
asal replied to jwt's topic in General Dog Discussion
Ragdolls are amazing, soon as I saw the pic, thought you won the lottery -
my daugher spent not only her baby years but all her childhood surrounded by dogs, horses, ponies, chooks, cattle, cats and any wildlife in need of care. she was exposed to cat dander, dog dander, horse dander, cattle dander, chook dander and anything else the wildlife had. I am allergic to every single animal dander on that list, despite the fact I too grew up with my dads dogs always around and in the case of blue, always beside me as for the cats? dozens of them until the vet explained to my puzzled mum that brothers have no aversion to putting their sisters in kitten so they all got the desexing chop, and there was nearly 100 by the time mum learned that life lesson. Asthma killed my dads father just before I was born, mums advice was dont marry anyone with asthma in their family as it sure in in your dads family. unkbeknown to me my mother in law was a massive asthmatic, just all the medications kept her going so not happy when i discovered that and sure enough my daughter gets asthma, my only consolation I sure made sure she was exposed to every possible contaminate from the day she come home from hospital, everywhere she crawled she had Debbie her very own ACD guarding and probably covering in her dog dander from day one. was pretty gobsmacked when the doc told me , "long as you avoid dogs, cats, horses, cattle and chook's you will be fine!" so still have all of the above but keep my puffers in my purse for emergencies.. it is hereditary as well is my guess.. the biggest surprise is the worst attacks are triggered by none of the above, drop the air tempretature below 4C....I start wheezing.. below minus C and without the puffers... curtains so early exposure isn't the guarantee the doc's would like us to think it is

Ratting with terriers. Which terrier is top
asal replied to Boronia's topic in General Dog Discussion
our stray to moved in, green eyes was the best ratter i have ever seen, not even a rat on a bean 14 foot up the side of the barn was safe, she climbed to the top of a cupboard then lept the intervening 6 feet to grab it and didn't let go in the fall to the floor with her trophy. still miss her, nope feline not canine. when old age finally caught up with her, her successor was Yeti, another someone didnt want, although very pretty, (I thought she was a himalayan) was living skeleton until the vet figured out her health problems. hopeless mouser and ratter, sniffed a mouse and bitten the nose for her trouble, later discovered she was a rag doll. even the chihuahua green eyes had trained, tried to teach her to no avail. chi's make good mouser and ratters -
