    The farmer's problem was that at least one of the dogs had already been worrying the sheep (see an earlier post). The fault lies with the idiot who was running the dogs who let this happen and the poor dogs paid the price. And to Jimmy0211 - I think I've got better things to do with my life than type up the details of my cows and I expect that you've got better things to do with your life than to read about them. Talking of which, now I've had my lunch, I need to go to check on them again - Rowena is due to calf

    As long as the bones aren't cooked, they will be fine. I used to give my lot raw chicken wings or turkey necks.

    to me the farmer has taken the law into his own hands and shot this mans dogs , why did he not ring the police or the farmer that has given this man permission to try sort it out with the lad first ? no the farmer choice wasnt to and to take the law into his own hands and shot this mans dogs , so i dont gine 2 monkeys fcks what any 1 says i would be taking the law into my own hands and killing every sheep he owns , then i might be nice and leave his farm alone. sorry has to be an eye for a eye in this case !

    "Spot on, what gets my back up, is all stock is bred for the dinner plate, and all means to a farmer is money.They dont think of any animal like we do, even there sheepdogs are just a tool to them, and they shoot them once they are to old to work. Go back in the night and kill as many as you can, and hit him were it hurts in is pocket. It might make him not so trigger happy next time." How dare you say that! We run a small farm - I have herd of black cows (ie no identifying markings) - I can tell them all apart, know their names and can tell you about their characters. I also have a

    Has your mate contacted the breeder to see if they can take him back? If it was something I'd bred, I'd want it back rather than have it sold on.

    Did the vet give her some antihistamines? It could be an allergic reaction to the hay - or maybe she's been stung or bitten by something. We had a hornet flying round our barn a couple of days ago!

    If she's still not licking it, you'll need to help it to pee and poop - new pups can't do it on their own. VERY gently, with the pup upside down, wipe from the tummy towards the rear end with a piece of damp cotton wool. Have something on your lap to absorb the results!

    You've done a great job of rearing them - they're in beautiful condition

    One of my dogs mastered the art of opening my cupboard doors and used to take out tins and bite her way through them

    I was lead to beleive that the standard poodle hunted lions is this true Someone tell you that on 1st April

    "ridgebacks didnt hunt lions in the same sense as lurchers hunt. they tracked the lions and surrouded them baying at them until the hunter could get close enough to make the shot. riflrs in thoes days had poor accuarcy and slow loading times. the ridgebacks never actually attacked the lions, since then theyve been used as very efficient guard dogs and in australia used on wild boar to good use. i wonder how healthy they are?" I've had RRs for over 20 years - currently have 5, they are generally a very healthy breed Originally they were developed to hunt game and to protect the homeste

    " " "Quite the opposite. A barrel chest is massively inferior to a deep, elliptical chest with well sprung ribs. Think of the heart and lungs as bellows stoking a fire... A barrel shaped chest is, by definition, already "inflated" (rounded) in shape and thus has far less room for expansion and contraction (less air in and out at each 'stroke') than does a well sprung elliptical one. The only dogs I've seen with barrel chests are show Staffords, English Bulldogs and 'granny Russells' Greyhounds, well bred APBTs etc on the other hand, all have long, deep elliptical chests to allow f

    One of mine has been a real pain with me cutting her nails. She only weighs about 22kg but my partner and I can't hold the little "treasure", she wriggles so much. So I've really worked with her, gradually built up her confidence with me just touching her nails with the clippers, then giving her a treat etc. It's been a slow business, but now I can cut her nails without her being a drama queen
  20. Clover
    Have you tried cutting the nail straight after a good walk in the wet? The nail will be softer and much easier to cut.

    It's difficult to tell from the pictures which foot it is, so whether it's an inside or outside toe. One of mine had a shortened toe, an inside toe on a front foot. The reason for it was that he'd had his dew clews removed as a new born pup (very badly, by a vet, who'd crushed his pastern in the process and damaged the bones!) I'd recommend cutting that claw - it's obviously not getting worn down.

    Were both the parents of the litter merles then?

    The reason for freezing beef is that it can carry the parasite neospora - there was a case of a boxer having to be put down because of this. The parasite is rare but is supposed to be killed by freezing. It's up to you to decide if you want to risk it, even though the risk is very small - I freeze beef first, I wouldn't forgive myself if one of my dogs was affected by this because I didn't take the precaution.

    yes tried that one he dont want to know. Not much of a "breeder" then - yet another puppy producer But good for you for trying them and good luck with finding a suitable home for your pup.

    Have you tried his breeders - will they take him back?
