Just ticking :) Ticking hasn't been mapped yet I believe, but it can occur on any horse whether it has a grey parent or not :)

It's up to you completely. My mini poodle was never crated, she's always been a saint. My 18 month old toy poodle is a nasty piece of work if left to her own devices, so I crate trained her for her safety and my sanity. She loves her crate, door is always open when i'm home, if I come back at an...

I give my mini poodle Yumove too, she's 12 has arthritis in her hips, elbows and lower back, is so so much better since having these. Very very fussy dog, but eats these like treats :)

I feed Orijen and both of mine are on the lower end of recommended amount and are not too fat or too thin :)

I don't have a problem with cross breeds as such if they are responsibly bred of course but then again I have a problem with irresponsible breeding, whether its of a cross breed or a pedigree. What I do have a problem with is the common misconception that (and I am purely quoting things that...

Poodle, I have 2 toys atm and my next will be a standard, only reason for having toys is the issue of not enough space for a bigger dog atm. Love the breed, intelligent, trainable, lots of energy, I do agility and canicross with my younger one, thinking of doing fly ball too. My older one is 12...

My toy poodle bitch loves watching TV her favourite are the minions. She sat through the whole minion movie watching it, and when it finished she kept looking at me and the TV wondering where it's gone :) whenever she's being hyper and silly, i just sit her in front of the laptop and put on...

Thank you everyone for your reply. Quite honestly, if I won the lottery tomorrow, he would be on the first lorry coming over this way. But I realistically don't have the time or money, I'm not looking to buy my own for another 4-5years, and yes he would be an expensive pet, he lives off fresh...

no investigation was ever done. he was born with 1 slight box foot, over the years, the awful farrier trimmed the other front foot to match the box foot rather than correct the box foot. He has been fully sound until approx 2 years ago. he was jumping, schooling, hacking and never lame...

Deep down I do know it's unrealistic :( the only thing that's pushing me to consider it is that he will be sold, whether i like it or not, and I just don't want him to suffer with someone who will try to work him despite the lameness, or who will lock him up in a stable etc. his future concerns...

Hello everyone, I need you all lovely people to tell me whether my emotional attachment to this horse is completely clouding my judgement. So the history: I learnt to ride when I was 7 on a 16.2hh cart horse type, mare. A year before that, she gave birth to a lovely colt, called Viking. Once...

They're BS legal, not BE (because need tradtional english tack for dressage) and not BD legal (same thing again) I used one as my only saddle for 2 years, competed at about 1.10m SJ, jumped up to 1.40m at home, been XC etc, no problems at all, and no pressure points, physio who has known horse...

What about a Black Russian Terrier? My parents have one, great guard dog, a fab bark on him but I think I've heard him bark all of 5 times since the beginning of the year, we call him ninja, he creeps up on you silently, one minute you're stood in the doorway signing for a package, and the next...

Thank you for all advice. I think I will do both at the same time, I'm going to speak to my vet one more time but i'm 90% sure that this is the right way to go. We have tried bones etc, she also has a deer horn that she chews on daily (bedtime treat), we also play tug of war etc, the teeth are...

no, not everyday, 3 times a week. then other 4 days it's just the afternoon walk We do 10min training session in morning and evening, yes it makes her think, but she gets bored quickly and starts running around, bring me her toys or her lead etc. I'm not running her, not forcing her to run at...
