Shepherdess

One of mine started doing it when he developed EPI, I asked the vet and she said that he was doing it to remove his own scent - a sort of survival tactic when they aren't too well

Thanks everyone, I know Rob (Freyas owner) is overwhelmed with the support. Had an interesting conversation yesterday and was told how a week or so before, the same police who made the decision to shoot Freya had their hands smacked and came into alot of critisism for not speaking to the owner of a Pitbull that was wandering free when it attacked another dog, only for it to drag its owner across a wall a few days later and attack another animal. Makes you wonder if the police overreacted because of this incident and poor Freya took the brunt of it.

My dog isnt keen on the Pancrex either and I cant stand the smell - its makes the whole house smell like cat pee (very unpleasant), I think the liquidated raw pigs pancreas actually has more of an effect on my dog anyway and im lucky enough to have a farm shop that sells it within 5 minutes of me. I was told to add it to the soft dog food (Chappie, due to its reduced fat content) rather than the complete dry food which is all he is use to , so for now im having to feed him by hand to encourage him - its a messy procedure but worth it and not half as smelly as the Pancrex.

It would be a bloody miracle if it did! The idea of the petition is to present to the police/solicitor to show public opinion, im sure none of the people that own working dogs, or any other sort of animal that is lost/runaway, would like this sort of action by the Police to become a precedence. Im sure the owner would like to thank you for your support by signing

Hi, just a quick note to say that the link to the Freya petition is live http://www.police-shoot-dog.co.uk Please note that the images are disturbing, so can I advise caution if there are kiddies near your PC

He had only had the dog a few hours, he had just picked it up and brought it home, it escaped out of the car door when someone that was with him got out. Anyway some good news, ive spent ages on the phone to the reporter that was responsible for writing the article in the local paper, i've explained that alot more information has come to light which shows that parts of the original article were incorrect, eg the dog biting someone, the fact that dog wardens had tried to catch the dog etc.... He is really interested in the story and is now planning to rewrite it with a totally different ang

Just a quick note to say that the pigs pancreas had an almost immediate effect - one happy owner!

I cant believe the papers have run this story and got all the basic facts wrong. I spoke to Freyas owner lastnight for quite some time getting the facts for this website we are setting up and they seem to have everything wrong. No one has mentioned that the very experienced dog wardens were stood there waiting to go in and capture her and that they were quite happy to do this, no one has mentioned that the Police actually told them to go away, and what the Police thought that they were doing trying to send a Dog handler and German Shepherd into the cemetery god only knows. I think the reaso

Oh yeh register away men, the more the merrier... ive even set up a Drivel section for you

Forums are always a difficult one to run because you have to draw a line somewhere, but its getting the level right to please everyone without upsetting others thats the difficult bit. Its also nice to to be aware of what the general guidelines are, for example you stated about the rasicm comments, most sites would not allow that, so without strict guidelines the content can sometimes end up a list of what the moderators views are. Ive only been on this site for a few days but it seems well run and fair. Admittedly my sites are of a very different nature so you kind of expect alot of banter -

Think the powers that be are getting a bit pissed at the threads turning to everything but hunting

hiya and hope you were made as welcome as I was - great site

I know that LB has asked people to sign on this site already, but there is a designer working on it at the moment who is brill - so sorry for the delay but im sure it will be well worth it

LOL dont thank me yet, this script is a nightmare and there is no support for it - I was cursing you at 2am this morning Im sure it will get there in the end aslong as no one is looking for a work of art
