One of mine had a general anaesthetic recently and I was very concerned like you but it was explained to me that vets have such a fantastic way of measuring the correct amount of anaesthetic for the weight of the animal these days that this is the reason why our dogs rarely come out to us after...

I know, I know that complete foods are supposed to be complete so we dont need to add anything else but I must admit I do. For both of my dogs I have fed fish4dogs complete diets for years and a couple of years ago I started adding their salmon oil in at each mealtime, mainly because I had...

My Viszla used to be terrified of the wind which howls down the side of our house at times. He used to shake and cling to me and I would have to take him to bed with us and let him sleep between my husband and I but his shaking would keep us awake!! Problem solved - we got another dog! Not...

East Kent, I wholeheartedly agree with you!!! Shelties, yappy and snappy! I took in a border collie last year from the Blue Cross. She was 6 months old and had arrived with a batch of dogs from Ireland (apparently they move dogs around from kennels to kennels). She has been and is the most...

Dont feel guilty! Its good that you've got your mum going in each day as socialisation with other people is just as important as exercise and if she plays with him then he will be tired out! Do you put little treats in his Kong? To tire my pups out if I wasnt able to exercise for a few hours...

I have two dogs. My Viszla is my favourite as he is my old boy at 11.5 and such a gentle, beautiful nature who I would be lost without and then my Border Collie is my favourite as she is my rescue at 22 months and just so intelligent and responsive and understands when I talk to her. I walk my...

I have used pet food companies to sponsor prizes in the past for local dog shows. Most of the time they are up for it. I feed fish4dogs complete and know they are a company worth asking. Why dont you contact them on www.fish4dogs.com and ask. You've got nothing to lose. Most decent pet food...

I have a hungarian viszla and a border collie. My V was one of the easiest dogs I have ever had to train as they are a sensitive, wanting to please breed and gentle. My rescued border collie has a very active brain so we do agility with her. I dont live in a big house so dont consider space...

I rarely put my dogs on leads when out and about walking for miles around the countryside unless I come across livestock. My young rescued sheepdog would love to chase sheep me thinks so I'd rather not give her the opportunity!! But when we are walking in open spaces/countryside, if I do see...

Unfortunately just ignoring this dog is not going to be enough now, for it to stop this rude behaviour as clearly the owners have never stopped it from jumping all over visitors. It probably does the same to all visitors that goes to this home. Your daughter clearly loves dogs to be so patient...

Hi, I also have a BC who is 11 months old and was thinking of introducing some agility style games in the garden so reading this thread has been very interesting. This is my first BC and I got her at 6 months old from the Blue Cross. She is fabulous and very sound and has been very good to...

If anyone wants to feed a natural, additive and colourant free diet then you could look at feeding Fish4dogs diets like I do. I have a Viszla, a border collie and a regular visiting GSD who are all fed on their Salmon and Potato and only have the Fish4dogs jerky treats which are essentially...
