    Bile reflux especially in young dogs is often due to them being hungry. Especially over night or in the morning. He will be getting more carbs from the pasta and it will be feeding him better. Id suggest feeding him early, something in the early afternoon then late in the evening. Terriers are high energy dogs and when they get hungry they often do bring up bile, likewise other active breeds.

    Most likely to do with his diet. What is he fed and at what time?

    Those are great!

    Looks a great repair. Look forward to hearing how he does.

    If I had access to red, sika or fallow antlers Id not hesitate in giving them to my dogs.

    Do you honestly think a dog intent on doing something would respond to a "tingle" or "tap on the shoulder" ?? I know a guy that used it on his Lab that chased stock. He responded through fear (and because the burns on his neck were horrific) up until one day he had enough, and when his owner went to the dog, he cowered at first then attacked him. The dog was PTS, the owner blamed the dog!!!! This is a guy I know personally, who had this thing recommended to him by an apparent "professional" dog trainer!!!

    You dont need to electrocute your dog to get it to work well. If you cant train it properly there are two reasons for it. Either the dog is no good or more likely you aren't any good at training it!! Its just abuse.

    My boss is in France at the moment, he said Ferrets sell for 360 euros each!!!

    At that age Id make absolutely certain the dog was still fertile before considering using it.

    Big Cats

    Dawn B replied to Buster321c's topic in General Talk

    Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats have long coats. There is VERY rarely a "sighting" stating a long coat. The Cat on the O2 adverts is a Maine Coon.

    Big Cats

    Some domestic breeds are large by nature. I have 3 British Shorthairs. This one is 19lbs at the minute. And he eats puppies!!!

    Looks a lovely chap Gnipper. Mine are "show" dogs and I only do rough shooting and ratting now, and that doesnt count!! Good to see yours though. Best of luck with her.

    He looks like he is in very good hands. Very best of luck to him. I hope he makes a full recovery and I look forward to hearing about his progress.
  18. Dawn B
    They look super.

    Corkman Im not defending the KC, they dont need defending, but its ludicrous to blame them for all the bad in dogs. Why are you not targeting Cockerpoo breeders? Shihchon, Cavapoo, Labradoodles etc.. They sell for thousands!!! All the Wolf hybrids, Northern Inuits, Tamaskans etc.. Two thousand pounds and above!! NO KC!!! Just greedy people who exploit dogs, see a market and supply it!! The health issues you mention can be tested for and its all responsible breeders can do. But Ive read about terriers and Lurchers on here umpteen times dropping dead, having fits, collapsing etc e

    Most breeds are noticeable by their absence. Its not just Borders. You cannot say with any degree of certainty that any dog will not work. Thats madness. The main issue with Borders is that they are later maturers and a lot of people wont give them time, they just get rid and say no good! They start early and they say "too hard!" Regardless of that the majority of dogs whatever they are are bred as pets. They will never be given a chance to do the job they were originally bred for.

    Hi Corkman. I think you are a little confused. "Strange then how the K.C. promotes breeding of multiple deformed breeds of dog? Through fashionable trends and inbred breeding policies allowed for decades by the K.C. (all litters are registered so they know what is going on)." No they dont at all. And, Im not sure you are aware that all the breeds that were considered "exaggerated" are subject to veterinary checks at every champ show (BOB winner) and if deemed unfit in any way are not allowed to compete and their award taken away. That is not the policy of an organisation who promotes

    Hi Marshman No. I wouldnt breed from any animal that had a genetic deformity. These things get worse not better. They can skip generations and be a damn sight worse in the next one. Bowed legs are deformed bones due to irresponsible breeding. Nothing more. Yes Id work the dog if it were able, but Id not perpetuate the problem by pushing it into the next generation.
  23. Dawn B
    LOL!! "We" dont mind bow legged dogs! Please dont include everyone in that statement, because dogs with deformed legs should not be bred on ANY level!! Some of them cant even bloody walk properly let alone work!! Jees, Im stunned!!!

    The Jack Russell Terrier has been showed and bred on the continent, Ireland and Australia for umpteen years!! I think you are all getting a little confused. This is akin to the short legged dog. However you will see NO bow front legs and luxating patellas!! They are sound dogs of uniform type. The Parson Russell Terrier is more like the working type JRT and their "recognition" has done no harm to either them nor the people who choose to work Russells has it? Breeders who exploit an opening in the market destroy breeds, NOT the Kennel Club!! They do NOT and NEVER have written breed sta
