Hi I think what you are doing is fine as at 8 weeks old puppies cannot hold themselves for very long & need to toilet constantly.
Personally I always invest in a much larger crate where I can put a bed one end & newspaper the other with maybe a water bowl & enough space for the pup to be able...
Dear Connor99 & Simon13 it would be great to know who you actually are???
IGs are a very small breed & most of the folk know each other & most of us have been showing many years, we have racked our brains to try & think who on earth you can be & who has treated you so badly & why, i really cant...
As you say Donna, hindsight is a wonderful thing!
I think until it's happened to you & you see how easily it can happen it's easy to be complacent (not saying you personally but people in general)
You know i listen to all these people who say that theirs run with large breeds & they never have...
Hi Donna
What i wrote was not meant to be a slap in the face!
It was merely sound, honest & genuine advice.
As i said not knowing what info you had been given from the original breeder, i was trying to impart the info i have ever given to any of my puppy owners.
I wasn't accusing you of...
Sorry i have been tied up the last couple of weeks & have only just read this.
Having owned, bred & shown Italian Greyhounds for the last 25 years i can only tell you that i NEVER let my IGs run with my whippets EVER, no matter what age they are. Common sense alone, it should be obvious that...
There is a lady who has recently started showing who lives in Hampshire i think not far from Basingstoke? I dont have her details but will see if i can find out for you.
Hi there, hope your pup is better now? Just personally i would not put him back on Bakers, as its one of the worst foods you can feed a dog its stuffed full of additives & colourings & can make pups really hyper. Also i would buy some natural live youghurt & give him a spoonful in th emorning &...
Hi Adela, sorry for the late reply but i havent logged in for a few days as i have been so busy!
You say you are in Dublin & to my knowledge there are no IG breeders in Ireland, i know there are a couple people who have IGs & show them over there but to my knowledge they do not breed.
You need...
When i say "strange" i mean they are kind of like having a pet but without having one if you know what i mean???
They are so independant they dont seem to need to rely on you for anything. Also perhaps its just my one but she shows no real affection, when i try to stroke her or make a fuss of...
Her name is Candy. I have to confess i'm not really a cat person, whilst i would never hurt one & i wouldn't want another one. I'd always take one in if it needed help bUT i would not go out of my way to get one, i find them strange creatures.
