Dogs mature at different rates just like humans do and the large breeds seem to be later maturing than the small ones. I have a 13 month old Greyhound/Lab who has just come into season, she won't have another but I know she is now mature enough for this op and also her insides are all working...

I can't remember now but will ask my friend. I know they were very worried about this because they do try to improve the breed, they have reduced the hip scores quite a lot over the years. It took a lot of research before they found the information.

Cleft palates in pups can be cause by mum getting a virus in the early stage of pregnancy. It happened to a friend and they wouldn't breed from the dog or bitch untill they found this out. The bitch did have a virus in the early stages and never had any more CP pups.

I am sorry. - If it should be, that I grow frail and weak, And pain should keep me from my sleep, Then you must do what must be done For this, the last battle, can't be won. You will be sad, I understand. Don't let your grief then stay your hand, For this day, more than the rest, Your...

Thank you for posting this, it is time something was done for these dogs. When you see the despair on the owners faces when their dogs disappear and the police won't do anything, it makes you feel so helpless. Thank goodness for places like Dog Lost who do seem to get a lot of dogs back home...

She is gorgous :wub: :wub: :wub: Until she becomes a teenager :lol:

Expose all for what, if you look you will see I have been a member here for some time unlike you who came on here just for this thread. :lol: Oh dear!! you are getting really boring now Denis, how many times have I told you that Antony didn't contact the trainer I recommened to him and even if...

You can be a very naughty boy at times Denis but those that you put these sites up for know that we have finally worried you enough to try and destroy us in this manner. Sorry Denis it won't work because I am not a trainer or behaviourist, just an ordinary dog owner. I will take it as a...

Have I said it wasn't? That depends on were you are and who has access, many dog owner pay to use an enclosed area to let their dogs run free, they are the only ones allowed in at that time so nobody should be opening the gate. Were did I say to keep a dog on a lead all the time? You can get...

There is nothing better than a good, well maintained hedge, wall or fence to keep stock in and to me it is preferable than the electric fences. With these fences the animal has a choice to go and touch it or not, with an e collar it doesn't, the handler has the choice not the dog. With someone...

It doesn't matter if dogs are working dogs or like mine, pets, a good recall is essential but it doesn't worry me if my dogs decide to take the Michael for some reason or other, they are just having fun. I do agree that dogs shouldn't disappear for and the owners not doing anything. I know a...

One of my dogs Joe, was beaten for (not) coming back before I got him, he was beaten so much that he was terrified if he got free. He would come so far back but not right back, then drop to the floor shaking in fear, I hope I never see eyes like that again in any animal. Finding something...

Hi Denis, Hi Lou I wondered how long it would take you 2 to get here I couldn't reply Denis because I haven't been able to get on this board since I posted that day and now I can't find my post. Excuse me if I don't read all your posts again, I have read them too many times on another...

Keep teaching her the recall, recall her, when she comes some really yummy treats that are only used for this, cheese, hot dog etc. then release her again all the time you have her out. She is still a baby and doesn't want to explore yet, once she gets to being a teenager, approx 6 to15...

I have this from my ex racing Greyhound when we are having the amount of rain at the moment, he won't stay outside long enough then can't hold it during the night :rant:

I took on a Whippet/Lab who had learnt just how much fun it was to hunt and chase sheep, she could pull a ewe down very easily. She hadn't had any training before we got her and her idea of a recall was to chase the nearest wild animal. She was the perfect killing machine. It took time and...
