with my lot i started the "do more with your dog" thingy that is all about teaching "tricks" (american website but good lists of tricks to try). basic stuff for the novice trick dog title such as sit down stand, touch, jump, spin left, spin right etc. at the time i was struggling with...

random thought.... do you walk her in a harness ? vera (whip x collie/grey) also has no hair underneath, she wears a harness and once it seemed to rub her quite badly and it looked similar to this. admit she had been a bit wild and was leaping about and generally being a complete...

2 years ago when vera was a pup i got her a soft kong pig... it has a removable squeaker (via velcro along its back) and she loved it, and also it was like a comforter at nap / bed time. when maud came along a year later she inherited the pig... it is still going strong with only a bit of...

my boy had it .... fed raised but not in the chair - soaked kibble only. will reply in more detail later but one little thing suggested on one site i visited was slippery elm powder in water and on feeds, this worked well for my boy and it was noticeable if i had run low and was not giving...

my boy had mega oesophagus and had flare ups of aspiration pneumonia.... i found that raised feeding bowl and also soaking his kibble so that swallowing was easier helped. x x i also put a bit of slippery elm powder in his food as this is supposed to help.

hello as title i need to dog proof one of my fields, this is to keep my dogs in.... am on wait list for left knee replacement and sadly my right knee suffered a meniscus tear a couple of weeks ago so need somewhere i can get to on crutches to let dogs have a run or for someone else to...

... and she is growing into a lovely little thing! we need to do lots of steady work introducing more of the outside world as she is still very worried by new things /people, but she was officially only allowed out last tuesday so we aren't in a panic yet. 19 weeks old yesterday, measured...

so very very sorry for your loss x x

well its obvious i am going to say another lurcher! they just accept the rough play / bitey face games etc please post lots of pics when you get him / her

absolutely brilliant x

thankyou. to be honest i wasn't sure she would ever be able to live in a multi dog household or settle here, which is the reason i hadn't posted an intro for her. she is still extremely worried of anything/ anyone new and is getting a bit big to carry now (was up to 10kg last week)...

i know its soon (2 pups within a year) but Vera was really in need of a buddy and i was missing not having doggy friends milling around after losing 2 last year, so in October last year i contacted my usual running dog rescue and asked her to keep me in mind if she got a young bitch pup in...

not a bell / over reach boot but last year when one of mine had hoof problems i had him in woofwear medical hoof boot. from memory although it is shaped and quite an art to get on it didnt rub him on his heel. link just to show what i mean Woof Medical Hoof Boot (ejwicks.co.uk)

i got "poopie vera" in feb from a rescue aged 11 weeks... the whole litter had been taken in as their breeder was struggling with mental health issues and although pups had food, water and clean kennel that was it. Mum was taken away at 6 weeks and they were left to their own devices with no...

she had a busy week, on thursday she turned 11 months old - EEEK where did the time go? On Sat it was her KC Good Citizen Bronze test, she was bloomin awful, really had her own agenda not listening to me and being a proper little minx. After the first "test" i admit i couldn't face the rest...
