My dogs are busy saving up their pocket money for one of these collars, which I think are gorgeous: http://www.celtichound.co.uk/leather-buckle-collars.php 10% of the price goes to help rescues too :thumbsup:

How did Daisy get on? I'm hoping it's all over and she's home being spoilt by now :luck:

Oh bless her, what a pretty girl she is :wub: Sending her absolutely every good thought for today, and hope all her tests are positive and give a clear way forward to treat her bowel problems :luck:

Loved this, it really made me smile - what a fabulous little dog :wub: http://www.koreus.com/video/chien-utile.html Am now wondering if I could train my lot to take over the housework while I put my feet up...... sadly I suspect not :lol:

Have you spoken to your vet about this? Spay incontinence a such a young age is rare but it can happen. Fortunately it can usually be controlled very effectively by Propalin drops.

That's wonderful to see. Welcome home Molly :D

Prong collars are horrible things and not appropriate for any breed imo. Mastiffs and bull breeds don't 'turn evil', they can be trained the same as any other dog with patience and rewards. Regarding harnesses generally I have know a lot of people have a good deal of success with the balance...

I'd suggest giving Jim Greenwood a ring to see if he can help, he's a smashing bloke and really knows his lurchers! He's based in Cheshire, but does groups and workshops in various places. He sometimes uses his own (fabulous) dogs as stooge dogs for socialisation...

Thank you. PM sent :))

Trying to PM you re the elderly whippet you may have a home for......

What a lucky pup, she's going to be loved to bits. She is sooo sweet :wub: :wub:

No personal experience but I have a friend who uses this place near Dursley for her dog and cats, and reckons it's the only place she'd ever leave them: http://www.hydegatepetresort.co.uk/ I'm not sure I like the fact that you seem to pay extra for everything on top of basic care, eg you can...

It sounds as though at least one pup must have been bought already. I hope the poor little mite gets treated better wherever he/she has gone :( I wonder what state the mum is in? Stupid question from someone who knows nothing about puppies, but are the pasterns bent like that because of...

Is there a particular reason why you want to use a harness rather than a collar? For most sighthounds I've always felt that a well fitted martingale or fishtail collar is the most secure way to walk them. If I used a harness or headcollar then I'd use it with a double-ended lead attached to a...

Thank goodness someone is following up on them, I hope something can be done (though I'm not that optimistic I'm afraid). A rescue near me recently took in a litter of lurcher pups that were being advertised for sale at four weeks old and in terrible condition. The owner's attitude was that he...

If she's only been there a few days I really wouldn't worry about it for now, and definitely don't pressurise her into going out. Racing greyhounds have so little experience of 'normal life' that she could easily have been spooked by something on her walk that you weren't aware of. I'd give her...

I don't think there's anything dangerous about crabs in particular, but any meat that's 'off' could cause an upset - though I'm constantly amazed at some of the manky things my dogs forage and never seem to suffer any ill effects. I doubt he got very much meat out of a couple of crabs anyway...

:( Poor little mites, how much can a few worming tablets and some puppy food cost? It's beyond me how anybody has the nerve to put up pictures of pups in that state for sale :rant:

Henry and James, two 10 year old lurcher brothers, are having a very sad time. They are home alone with neighbours caring for them after having lost their mum. Their mum loved them dearly and in tribute they have attended her funeral, with the above photo appearing on the back of the Order of...

The problem with sedatives is that they can take quite a while to work, so the dog could wander a long way to goodness knows where and be quite groggy and vulnerable to getting run over or having an accident. A dog trap would be a possibility if the dog is sticking to the same area. I'd...
