Biker John, Is your whippet a worker or pet? My whip x did feel the cold standing around and at close to minus temps but being a worker from 6 months onwards the cold never gave him big problems until say 10 ish when at certain times the coat was on him,
I think at start of life the dog needs that jump start, I did carry on with the boosters for life but just thought it right, saying that there’s so much info saying different, up to the owner to decide.
Im only a mile from the beach as I think Joannef will be also, when I first moved here me and the dogs was down there 7am having a wee paddle, I think it’s a good thing for a dog to see and enjoy the water.
Jan the point I’m digging at is a normal September day I’m seeing dogs with coats on! I think the owners wake up cold so lace there dogs in coats when totally not needed, my dogs made there own heat so not needed plus most people who hunt will give there dogs a nice good rub down .
Apart from first time owners there can’t be many on here who has needed the help of a training class is there, my other half a few years ago wanted me to try one, I did but walked out after 15 minutes, bit of a joke really, saying all that things have changed in the dog world since then .
Another question, who uses dog jumpers and sweaters? Very small dogs with nothing to them ok I see the point, though my dogs life I hardly used a dog coat, days that I did a Scottish day that was full
Of rain and only when the temperature dropped below zero, I see so many owners now days have...
Hello and enjoy the site, had a good weekend in Brighton and Eastbourne in 2001 wow , drink, beech, and Eastbourne speedway in the evening , oh happy days,
Let’s just be honest here, this family should not have a dog,, a dog is for life, I know I’ve always put there life’s first and mine behind them, changed my sports car to a van, when I couldn’t get some cover my one dog at the time came to work with me in the truck, came on holiday in my van...
Having parents that don’t want or know how to care for the dog spells big trouble, if your parents said no then That should have been it, let’s hope there’s a happy life about to start for this pup.
I’d say harness to be honest, the crate does seem strange but if as hemlock says it can be done in a diff design then fine , when I moved to Scotland my car was all duvets up so back seat for him was like a big protection bag, we can’t drive for others as we all ways have too nowadays so best...
Sounds just normal stuff, stay cool, controlled but semi in control, tick tick as time goes by months or so I can’t see a problem, so much advice from so many can for you cloud the issue, pick your advice and stick too it,
Welcome also, as a hunting sort of person I wish you luck with your crazy hehe dog, I can train and sort these dogs and have but as I get older I leave it to you for now ! Joke gang, never owned one but know a few , you must be fit? If not you will be . Smiley face .
Cracking looking happy dog with his life ahead of him,, did you have to spoil it with the word UNI , your dog will just live in the water , I’ve been to many country shows and to see them water dogs spring is a joy .
Ok, well I was a hunter so I wanted a quiet dog, my point is I want my dog not to start a chance of a fight, his aggression must be in field hunting , he did like 80% of dogs but he understood my point and excepted my view, anyway enough said by me, have a good day.
I thought she said her dog was off lead and growled, if that’s correct then he’ll yes I’d reprimand MY dog, why ? No dog of mine ended up aggressive on my shift, like I’ve said before my brindle tried.
So let me understand, a dog offlead in a field goes to another dog and shows it’s teeth and growls! And you not reprimand it? Wow weird stuff, , I’m so glad I don’t read doggy 2020 books and google stuff, dogs nowadays are so over sensitive and brainless , hey not all dogs but so many are, I...
It does depend on how much crying, but Joanna says it’s outdated, ok that’s fine, mine did stay down stairs had a wee whinge but coped, and as for it making them insecure and non dependant dog! Umm well my last 3 didn’t go that route, rabbit and hare catching needs speed in brain and heart...
