    Does she live in or out? She looks smart but if she lives out she might feel the cold a bit without the fur.........It's still quite cold at night where we are. Good luck with the pups.

    Little butch - do not put gravel in the bottom of it - all it does is create somewhere for debris etc to gather, stagnate and poison your pond. If you are putting a small pump in, the gravel will get sucked into your pump and block and damge the pump. If you do not have a filter then you might need to clean out the bottom every now and again (with a net to remove leaves etc) gravel will only create a dirty mess in there. Let the water stand for a few weeks before you expect anything to live in it and survive. You could get a water lily in a pot and set it on the bottom of the pond - it wil

    Without adding a 'proper' filtration system, I would just go for a couple of goldfish - they can grow quite large in a pond situation. If you do not use an ultraviolet filter, your water is likely to stay green and full of algae - the goldfish probably wouldn't mind it though and it would give them a bit of shelter from predators such as herons. A pump to circulate the water would probably help the goldfish through the summer months when there is less oxygen in the water. In a pond like the one you are planning you would probably be best to keep just a few fish and don't feed them much - th

    Have you put it about that there is a substantial reward for the return of your dogs? Money talks........?

    Well has your dog run there yet? Good luck with the racing!!!

    Has anyone started planning stuff to grow this year yet? I have started off some tomato seeds in the greenhouse - last year was a disaster, not many ripe tomatoes, just lots of little green ones - i think the weather was not very suitable. This year i am going to try growing the cherry type that you can grow in tubs and dont need to be staked etc. The spuds are busy chitting on the window sill - last year was my first go at growing potatoes and i was very pleased with the result, so this year i am going to try growing more - the neigbours were queing up for them! I have also started some s

    Try them on BARF. My dog used to fart and his breath was minging as well. Now i never smell his farts or breath at all - and his teeth are sparkling.

    That's good news. Hope you get lots of eggs. Keep us updated on how you get on.

    I think sex education classes in schools isn't the problem here. I think it is the lack of moral examples set at home that causes the problems. Look at the lifestyle of a lot of the parents..............

    I tried spray collars - waste of money. The dogs lost respect for them and they became ineffective very quickly - result - back to barking. Look on the DOGTRA site. Get the ones that are self-activating and re-chargable. They work. A couple of snaps off them and the barking soon stops. Now my dogs wear them and often they are not even switched on - the lesson has been learnt - result- no barking. I wish i had bought them first instead of the spray ones (the refills can work out quite dear too). I hate bloody cats coming into my garden - crapping in the flower pots!

    Good outcome. It is such a shame some people can't keep their theiving insticts under control. Hope your boy has great fun with his dog now.

    I use a laptop and sometimes inadvertently drag the arrow over the name/avatar on the screen and the details of the member pop up on the screen.

    I have started feeding the birds recently. It is amazing to see what it brings to the garden and I live in the centre of a town. But i hate to see the cats loitering.............

    your 100% right there But watch it dosen't get stole..............

    Now that is a complete rip off, you could feed yourself for less. Surely feed raw meat and you could cook your own cheapo rice to go with it would be half the price and be better for the dog. Hi shepp, better for the dog? He has difficulty in digesting food, if he gets anything other than the stuff he's on(the rice etc contained in it has been partially broken down) it causes inflamation of his lower intestinal tract, causing him no end of bother, he drops weight & has mucus running from his bottom. Having seen him go through a terrible time of it with the other foods I'd

    Mine get BARF about 95% of the time. I have been feeding this way now for about one year and i don't think i will ever go back to dry - my dogs are in such good condition. Regarding feeding bones - since they started on barf their teeth have never been so white and their breath so sweet smelling - well, as dog breath goes

    That's disgusting! Some people really need their hands smashed! Hope your son is ok. I know the police don't care about a stolen dog but might they be interested in grown men driving around in vans approaching little boys?
  19. littlefish
    No, ha, really. I don't have any children - never wanted any - but i do work and pay taxes to keep plenty of them - those that belong to those who bring them into the world then do not face up to their parental responsibilities!

    If you breed them.............feed them!

    The tag idea is a great idea On first thought, yes it is, but i think it is naive to think it would put them off theiving a dog. Let's face it, if they are getting it for nothing (theiving) they may as well take a chance, what the hell. My bitch is speyed but i challenge anyone to find any scars on her abdomen. I was stopped while walking along a road with my dogs and a transit pulled up and two characters ran back to me 'nice dogs are they for sale?' 'No' i said they are only wee pets 'do you breed from them?' was the next question. 'no' i laughed and lifted my dog to show them his

    are you saying you call call any pup back at the age of 12 weeks wish i could mat no way have i ever seen this he or she will do it if there is no other dog or person around but never if they are around I think a 12 week old pup needs a lot of one-to-one work and encouragement. Remember, for your dog to pay attention you must make yourself interesting - play with it, reward it with treats and praise and keep training sessions frequent and short so that the pup does not get tired or bored. If it runs off when it is outside the saftey of your house or yard keep it on a lead until it k

    I had a look through that site. I thought it was a shame that there seemed to be so many ex-breeding pedigree type dogs on there - obviously used to churn out pups for the going rate then cast aside - puppy farmers disgust me

    Good luck with your dog but it might be safer encouraging your dog to retrieve something less dangerous than golf balls - it is too easy for a dog to swallow them. My friend's dog took ill and when it was x-rayed foreign objects showed up lodged in its digestive tract. It required an operation to remove them - it turned out the dog had swallowed a couple of golf balls and large stones - quite expensive!!!

    What sort of dog is it and in when you say it looks 'wormy' what exactly are the features you are worried about? Is your dog thin? Has it lost condition recently? What age is it? You say the wormer hasn't worked - what wormer did you use?
