    Those who don't vaccinate- a question!

    Ah well, I tried to put forward an alternative solution to your problem. Should have realised the reaction it would receive from people who have closed minds and know best. Such a shame...

    Help, our Weimaraner doesn't like small children

    Have you tried Weimeraner Rescue to see if they have anyone looking for an older dog, and no children in the family? In the meantime, obviously never leave your dog unattended if there are children present. I was wondering whether muzzling the dog when the grandchild is visiting, but think...

    Those who don't vaccinate- a question!

    Ahem, people seem to be getting very uptight on this matter, seeing who can shout loudest to convince everyone they are right!!!! Please calm down and give friendly advice and anecdotes. Something that has not thus far been suggested as an alternative is the homeopathic route. This is the...

    Your opinions on this diagnosis

    Just to say I know of a dog presenting similar to yours and he was x-rayed, nothing showed up. Lameness got worse, back to vets, referred to specialist vet who diagnosed broken elbow! Apparently the X-ray should have shown hairline fracture, but dogs leg not put into right position, so it was...

    Not coping and I just don't know what to do

    Gutted for you. It's been nearly 2 years since I had to make that terrible decision, and whilst I can now think about her without bursting into tears, it still hurts and I miss her every day. I don't know what your home circumstances are, but believe me, you are not alone and there are people...

    Destructor Strikes Again, He Must Be Stopped!

    What are you feeding him on? Agree scent work should really help. Can you crate him when left, or perhaps muzzle when appropriate?

    Dogs: Their Secret Lives episode 2 aggression

    Galaxy, I know there are far more good owners than bad thank goodness, and indeed, I reported the incident of rough handling at agility, and as you rightly say, that particular owner was disciplined. I think we've all kinda gone off the subject here. Personally, I enjoyed the program and hope...

    Dogs: Their Secret Lives episode 2 aggression

    Exactly this. All dogs, like humans, are different and there are many and various ways to resolve problems. Over the years, I've watched dog training programmes, attended talks, demonstrations and courses to try and broaden my knowledge so that I can be a better dog owner. I've seen so called...

    hiring a photographer, experiences, recommendations?

    Just be careful when booking a photographer that you check the actual costs of any photos you might buy. I booked a photographer to come and take photos of my friends horse and mine, both at the same yard. When making and paying for the visit, I was not given any photo prices, and was only...

    RIP Bracken

    My goodness me, what a gorgeous looking girl and a fantastic photo for you to enjoy during this very difficult time. You are right, better a month too early than a day too late, and although you are really hurting right now, you don't sound at all like the sort of person who would see a dog...

    RSPCA are to STOP Hounding Fox Hunters.....

    I think you're all missing the point somehow. If hunting foxes is against the law, don't bleat on if you CHOOSE to break the law. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime, and certainly don't cause an animal welfare charity to spend money trying to stop you!!!! Why should you possibly...

    should I put him down (sorry its long)

    It's so hard to make that final call, but in the end, when the time is right, it's the last loving thing we can do for our animals. You already know what must be done, but need confirmation. Most people on here would do the same. Does your vet support calling it a day? Even though you will...

    home boarders?

    Ask your local vets. They usually have a list of pet sitters they would recommend.
