I could never have a bitch, mine are quite keen on girls, even ones spayed years ago. I don’t do bitches anyway, always had boys, therefore I didn’t reference bitches in my post. I’m surprised you say people adopting will be advised and want to have an opposite sex dog: surely it’s best fit as...
I was surprised to see bunnies still for sale yesterday in PAH, they normally close that down near Christmas.
I keep getting adverts for Spaniel Aid, I’m aware that they have fosterers who test out temperament, they neuter/spay and have costs but it strikes me as really expensive to adopt from...
Absolutely this, the other dog shouldn’t have been on your land, the owner was negligent in allowing it to escape-is his property not secure? I’d be massively peed off if this happened to me and it did once with puss cat, dog came racing from the other side of the big park and even though I had...
His food might have undergone a recipe change but I’d be looking hard at the horse feed. Turns out one of mine has stopped chewing a paw since removing raw chicken from his diet.
The runny eyes make me think yes, it could be environmental: did you change anything over summer? I’d start him on...
They don’t want to be touched when I come downstairs in the morning, they just want breakfast, but once they’ve been out to pee, they’re desperate for attention, wiggles, moaning til they get grabbed and petted, lots of bum action.
I think an ex sniffer from police/customs would be great. The ones I know have been kept by the officer when retired and aren’t necessarily housed outdoors (I know, I know!) but obviously have lovely temperaments and are a known quantity.
Easily made with a piece of ply on feet. We use the box one of the crates came in, it wedges nicely, cost nothing and is scary if it falls. 🤣 Quite big, mine won’t push it.
I think having a toddler and baby is not compatible with this type of dog. You may have previous experience but not at the same time as having really small children, surely? Are you very rural? Even if you are, I don’t think this type is at all suitable. Just because someone offers it, you don’t...
Absolutely agree, particularly when the police are being made to fund the kennel stay. God knows what the kennel staff must be thinking, probably terrified of going near, so the dog has a horrible time waiting to be pts, basically.
