    Following the pedigree dog programme...

    Sorry to burst your bubble ....but Welsh SS are prone to SEVERAL genetic conditions which a GOOD breeder will help you understand! Both parents SHOULD of been tested for PRA and Glaucoma , they should of been hip scored, and their epilepsy status known , and that of their parents and all dogs in...

    Killing dogs for 'art'

    Sadly this IS real!!! I signed petitions to try to get this guy prosecuted for cruelty ... no luck yet .... but hopefully we can get his next exhibition stopped, and the very idea that he is PRAISED and up for an award ????? for this is just abhorrent!

    Ted says thank you

    One of the best things I have found for dogs that get colitis is 'Tree Bark Powder' from Dorwest Herbs. A pinch a day keeps my IG's trouble free ... so a bit more for a bigger dog! I only use it if they start brewing up,now that they are stabilised. Far better than drugs etc, and it really...

There are good breeders and bad producers... not ALL people on Epupz are bad , just have to be aware of those that are...

    Swabbing

    If a bitch has had problems conceiving or had an infection after her last litter I might advise to swab, but generally I don't like giving antibiotics unless really necessary. Or do you mean ovulation testing? I don't do that either but I do know people who have, and spent a fortune swabbing...

    Help please!

    As she runs away from the harness, could that be the problem? Does it fit well, and is she comfortable in it? Maybe putting it on before you play with her indoors, and before feed times, so she enjoys wearing it, then take her into the garden to learn how to walk on a lead properly. It all takes...

    Toy Poodles?

    Good idea, but annoyingly not everyone lists their details in the catalogues these days, even at open shows ...a sad sign of the times; Dognappers can look at who is present at a show and give the address /numbers to their buddy's - they ring to see if there is a dog sitter, if no reply, in they...

    World sieger 06 VA1 Zamp V Thermodos at Crufts

    Lovely to see him on TV. Forgot it was Zena doing the group, she is one of the few Allrounders who will put up a correct GSD, although the number is growing! I thought the Cardi was Stunning!
