Yes thank you. I haven't seen any fleece lined ones in my searches, but I will type that in. I have seen a few Y shaped harnesses in the park so I will definitely look into those too. I can see he is loosing fur underneath the harnesses we were given from the charity, so we have swapped to a...

Similar for sure. Ours has a longer snout, so hence thinking a greyhound or something similar, but it will be interesting! I have done some readings about DNA results and there are always some real surprises! I am pretty sure there is no Cavalier King Charles in him though! Then again...he...

Hi, we think Great Dane too. He looked more lurcher when we first got him & I can see some heeling traits, but the older and larger he gets the more Great Dane he looks. I have no experience of Great Danes, so I am not sure on their behavioural traits. But he loves to run on a slant with...

Hi, our small to medium rescue dog is growing beyond medium and as a little girl in the park said the other day: 'Hello massive dog' :) Drift's training is going pretty well considering his stray background and puppy age (depending on which park punter/expert, vet, dentist, TV talk show host...

Just a quick update after doing a fair bit of research. I decided to go with Wisdom rather than Embark, firstly as it was over half the price and secondly it had all the breeds that I think Drift might be, as he certainly isn't a Kelpie Cross...but a something else Cross perhaps with some...

Hi, we have done a few short trips...usually once a week to the park. As soon as we go a different route or slightly longer, it seems he gets an upset tummy. Although the last longer journey we made he didn't, so that was a good sign.

Thanks so much! I did see Embark and they looked like the most comprehensive.

Hi, I would like to get our dog's DNA tested, (we are curious and it would help solve the mystery that has engulfed our local park discussions) as to the mix of our dog. I've been doing some research online & I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the UK services?

We don't know his birthday, (stray), so we will celebrate immigration day, as it is the same day as my immigration day, just 20 years apart and then celebrate adoption day! Just another excuse for his owners to have more wine! :)

He is great at getting into the car and quite content as we drive along, so the fear of the car and the engine itself doesn't seem to be the problem. He choose not to sit up and look out, but lies down. I have thought about putting him in the front seat instead. I haven't tried that yet. I...

Thanks. I shall look into those. Much appreciated.

Hi, I'm hoping to go on a camping holiday with our dog, but he gets car sick. He can do short journeys, (less than 20 mins), but the even these can some times cause him to vomit. He has no problems getting into the car, but isn't that thrilled when you get going. He was a stray and by all...

I've had dogs that love sleeping on the bed - especially one Cavalier KC I had and a friends Australian Yorkie, others haven't been that fussed. Now we have a wee giant that would if he could - in the morning he comes in and sticks his head under the duvet and tries to wriggle up, until we get...

That link to greydogtales is hilarious! I'm sure our Kelpie X is part Lurcher!

Hi, thanks very much. He is a puppy, so we are still on 3 times a day atm. We are on rice, chicken or turkey, (fresh, but cooked) and some sensitive junior puppy food, (it has rice, beetroots and some meat) and some dry Beco food, which we soak. I am weening him down to smaller portions at...

Thanks for the advice everyone. We seem to be making progress, albeit slow. It is a bit of an odd one as he does a great poo or two in morning and then as the day goes on it deteriorates again into being quite sloppy. Anyone else ever noticed this? We feed him exactly the food throughout the...

Thanks so much. Sorry for the late thanks. I've had some surgery myself, so catching up on a few over due items.

Hi, I had never heard of the alpha theory being associated with aggressiveness or force, nor do I condone it, but I can see quite a few google links with it, which I found surprising! It's not how I have associated that term before, but it is interesting to see how others have referred to it...

Hi, my dog was a stray and so for the first 6 - 9 months (who knows how long), he survived by eating EVERYTHING he could find. He is a rescue and I've had him for 7 weeks and the poo eating is slowly going down, but a packet of crisps, bottle of coke, take-away etc. is still very tasty. It is...
