I don't really know where I should be asking this.... I was wondering if anyone know some reputable Aussie or Heeler breeders close to NY state? Their new owner is very knowledgable, and looking for a dog suitable to live on a small miniature horse farm-- new owner is fairly ill currently...

Hi! You know the wallymonster, and I adore Spencer! :)

I know doggiefoods.com sells it so it is definitely a possibility

I think it was just something in the other food he was on. I'm not sure if it was grains or not, and haven't run an allergy panel as his itching has ceased to exist since the switch. Makes me believe it was grain, but the other food also incorporated "real" meat, and it was before I really...

Wally is currently on TOTW Wetlands formula, he also occasionally gets Pacific Stream for a change of flavor. The only problem is TOTW makes him reek. His breath stinks, he is gassy and it stinks, and overall he just stinks. His poops go from regular to a little runny too. He otherwise is...

He and Wally would make great pals ;)

I was referring both to the overuse of the same sire, especially those with genetic health problems, as well as the breeding of mothers to their sons, daughters to grandfathers etc. I suppose there should be a measure of how inbred a dog truly is, but I'm not sure. It's quite complicated, and...

I do limited vaccines too, if I did all of them I could :yikes: I think if your willing to do your own grooming it would definitely be worthwhile to invest in quality grooming equipment. If well cared for and kept after there should be really no need to ever replace them.

Give it chance. You need to have your dog eating rather than worrying about looks right now.

I have no doubt you will be able to do it within that frame (any leftover and I would place in an emergency fund account for your dogs) I would give you an estimate, but because of where I live prices here are quite high compared to everyone else. I easily pay at least $400 a year in...

Red tailed hawks. Bluejays. Cardinals. Squirrels. Flying Squirrels. Chipmunks. Rabbits. Woodpeckers. Hummingbirds. Skunks. Raccoons. Vultures. Deer. Deer Poop. (the poop is the most prominent of them all!)

This is my thought exactly. I like that your breeding for some type of purpose and if you dog is as great as it gets they whoopie do, bake yourself a pie and eat it all! But without health testing, and heavy screening of temperament/lineage etc. the dog is virtually worthless to me as a...

Named my dog after my favorite horse at time. They happen to have very similar quirky, but funny personalities. I can't imagine Wally not being a Wally!

I agree that some dogs are still tested and used for their original purpose. But not nearly enough happen to pass. The fail rate seems to get larger as time goes by.(in a perfect world no dog would fail) I understand needs change, but a dog is meant to do something right? Or at least have some...

Figure as in a year, or the dog's lifetime? or?
