    The man in question is David Holzman, was was allegedly reported for beating his dog in the car park, it was reported to be unfounded, and it was 3 years ago not this year. Which part of CRufts do you think is antiquated. Is it the showing, agility, obedience, friends for life, assistance...

    Cross breeding yes or no?

    I’m not a fan to be honest, we have enough breeds already out there to suit anyone’s needs, non shedding , working, toy and so on, if you are after a dog that looks like a cockerpoo ( seems to be the most popular ) reseach a well bred small/ medium non shedding breed that fits that profile...

    Advice on how to control an aggressive dog on walks

    I would guess and it’s only a guess is that the TT technique would be helping the owner to relax and In turn will transfare the “calm “affect to the dog... as we know if you are tense your dog will be too, so if you are in a good zone, it’s going to go down the lead to the dog....just my take on it

    Ear Problems

    You need to know the type of ear issue your dog is suffering from first if mite related thornit will keep it at bay, if yeast or allergy I am not sure if it works as well, thornit has a very strong distinctive smell due to the ingredients, But regular use as a maintanence regime can help many...

    Ear Problems

    Thornit powder is very good, I keep a bottle in and use it on a regular basis, in ear cleaning. I think the first thing you need to do is make sure the ears ( inside ) is free from hair that clogs the inner ear up, if it is full of hair then it can’t breath, buy a bottle of thornit from Amazon...

    there is a saying a week to early is better than a day to late.......... this is the hardest part of owning our pets, but we need to do what is best for them at the time they need it the most. I also find its best if you can get all your ducks in a row before you make the decision, do you...

    New Home Needed Labradoodle needs a new home

    Would be interested to know tour thinking why a second generation over a first could be the reason for its temperament. Surely regardless of what “F” it is. It will be down the genetics that are in the dog. My experience of F1” is usually the breeder who just throws 2 dogs together no...

    How can we help our dog? cat problem.

    I’m going to come at this from a different angle, poor cat he must be very traumatised to suddenly having to live outside due to an intruder in his home, thinking of rehoming him due to the situation is upsetting, maybe it would be wiser to send the dog back and accept your cat does not want...

    New Home Needed Labradoodle needs a new home

    I am afraid I don’t agree with the trainer who told you he feels he needs to be in charge, obviously this is based on your post as I have not see the dog in action, you say he is nervous, a nervous dog is unlikely to be an alpha dog, I would guess your boy if his temperament if flawed ( insecure...

    if you google custom made car cages , and type in your vehicle make and model, manufacturers will come up, you can them look on site or phone and ask for advice on size for said breed. sorry not sure where you are from, but in the UK there are many good crash tested crates to choose...

    Please help

    Sounds like a bit more than just an opinion, more like horse drawn and quartered on limited information , I’m not the biggest fan of the RSPCA most of the time, it drawing such conclusions on so little information is a bit premature tbh . We don’t know why and how or what has caused the...

    How far can I walk my Rhodesian Ridgeback?

    i would think 6 miles at his age might be a little bit to much, at 12 mths of age he is still very much a immature boy, they are big dogs , speak to your breeder (or others who know the breed ) to get a better idea of their rate of development. but a good off lead walk in the woods and...

    Help how to know my girls season has passed

    Just to add I am not against neutering per say but people should do a lot of reseach beforehand, there is the belief that spay and castration will irradiate most cancers and health problems , this is not true and male dog can still get prostrate cancer as a bitch can still get mammary cancer, a...

    Help how to know my girls season has passed

    Not sure where you got that information from, but she can get pregnant again after her litter...... it’s called back to back breeding where you breed a bitch on consecutive seasons....I.e season , litter , season, litter ! Personally I would go for Keyhole spay, ( if you can afford it ) as it...

    Help how to know my girls season has passed

    A season will last around 3 weeks, give or take it will all depend on the bitch, so I would probable keep him away from her for another week, maybe a little longer to be on the safe side. I am sorry not sure where you are from, but in the UK most vets will advise to spay around 12 weeks...
