I put the bowls down for 20 mins and they don't eat then that's their problem. It teaches them quite quickly not to be fussy. My dogs will literally eat whatever I put in their bowls. Was annoying the day my fags fell in one of the dog bowls though If I am taking the dogs out to work I usually give them a small feed mid morning so they have some energy when they go out at midnight. Then they get their main feed once they get back.

Went to see Derek Acora with the wife. It was painful listening to half the people he picked out of the audience trying to fake a Cornish accent.

question aout milk on a dog

If they have had a few litters they can stay saggy. Plenty of human womens boobs look the same once they take their bras off if they have dropped a few out. -
collie/saluki testing time
scalesntails replied to millybot's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
I would say to not worry too much about training for a week or two and work on bonding again. If you have hit the dog a couple of times it will be wary so you need to fix that first. Find a nice field with no dogs, people, livestock or easy exits and just play with the dog. Run around call it over praise it up etc. Once you are comfortable with you recall in that situation then move on. If your dog sees another dog and run over to play with it don't call it back. It won't come and the dog is only learning that it can ignore you when it chooses to. Just walk over great the dog with praise and c -

Don't diss the maltese terrier. I rescued one once with a coat made nearly entirely of its own shite. Once he was shaved and fed up he made a brilliant little ratter. I would get another for my daughter but they are all £1500+ around my way. funny enough a couple of my mams miniature longhaired dachshunds were decent ratters, i used ta get the head fecked of me for getting them dirty, never seen a maltese that wasnt a nervy snappy thing though, think you had a rare-un I bought mine in South Korea. Was in the corner of the pet shop. I have never seen a dog in such a shit state -
I feed the same personally but it does take a bit of knowledge to get right. Not that's it's complicated at all but better to get it right on an adult dog first. If not raw then any good quality dry food will suffice.

My father in law is 87 and can't look after himself. My wifes grandmother is 90 and can't look after herself either. Between brother in law, wife and myself we make sure they are looked after and wouldn't ever dream of putting them in a care home. They both live in the same house and my brother in law has moved in to help look after them. He is working during the day so normally myself or my wife will pop down and do some cleaning and put some washing on etc. The main thing they enjoy is just having someone sit down with a cup of tea and have a chat with them as they don't get out much.

Good luck with him mate. I always wanted one when I was a kid but mother wouldn't have it. I had to make do with adders hidden under the bed in plastic boxes :laugh:

My wife worked in one until the boss cut back the residents meals to one a day, sold their medication and cut back on staff wages to buy himself a new merc. He has been reported many times but the council don't care.

I have to agree. The bioflow magnets do work well for many humans because humans know when something is supposed to make them better and placebos do actually help many people. They think something is working so it makes them feel better even though they aren't. This wouldn't work in dogs as they have no concept of medicine. Tried to pm this but it won’t let me so will post. Against popular thought there is a strong placebo effect with both animals and children as both the subject and carer are effected, ie the owner feels the symptoms are bad and being unable to do anything gives negativ

Looks like Blatter is going to be reelected as there is now no one standing against him and they have refused to postpone the election. :thumbdown:

I use Daves Insanity Sauce. They will never dare chew it again. Nice in a ham sandwich too. http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=266980520

It's luck you could buy a dog thats 7/8 greyhound and 1/8 bull and it's entirely possible that could look like a pure bull. 1/8 breeding doesn't mean the dog will only look 1/8 bull its luck on how much genetic make up they get from each dog in their breeding. I have 2 50% bull crosses from the same litter and one looks almost pure bull and the other looks more greyhound.

I believe it's genetic so best not breed from her.

We will be fine down in Cornwall as they think its too cold to get out of the car in winter. All our police are failures from the met.

If thats what he wants then check life expectancy, pet insurance costs etc. Make him aware of the positives and negatives then if thats what makes him happy go for it.

Refuses to make his own rollups.

Find out what he finds appealing about them. Is it the size, coat or general looks. Then look at other dog breeds that match what he wants. I wanted a St. Bernard when I was a young lad because of Bernie Winters and Schnorbitz.

I have a tiny bullx bitch she is roughly 22" also. Not worked her yet as she's not a year old until September. I also have her brother here and he is hitting 27" and was 2" shorter than her when I got them. She is fast and quick off the mark. She doesn't have the top end my salukix has but she easily has plenty of speed for rabbits etc she almost keeps up when they are playing in the field but you never see a dogs true speed until they are focused and chasing prey. I imagine she will be better than my saluki x on rabbits as she can turn much faster than he can. She's never going to be a racer

Money doesn't stop someone being an arsehole. People just need to be more careful on who they rehome their dog with and should maybe get the person the find someone to vouch for them. I think part of the problem is that everyone sells their dogs as amazing super dogs that can take all quarry single handed day or night from 3 miles away and catch 100% of the time. People buy these dogs and find they were sold because they are jackers or have no prey drive and sell them on again because they don't fit their needs. If your dog is a shit worker then find it a pet home instead of passing it of

Aggression is caused by habit or character of that dog which occurs with maturity, if you castrate a dog at say 6-9 months old it probably wouldn't have developed enough testosterone to be 'aggressive' Once a dog has reached sexual maturity and is in adulthood neutering will have no effect on temperament or character. Just my opinion based on dealing with alot of neutered and un-neutered dogs of all ages Do a google search, will give you alot of imformation on the subject. Neutering dogs doesn't stop aggression or stop them humping other dogs. Aggression is usually caused by a lack of
