Any training/confidence tips for this one? Already got confidence for jumps, tunnel and 'dog walk' type obstacles... but doesn't get the point of this one... and spooks (not scared, just wants off) when it tips...

I went to a dog show for the first time today - here in Spain. The show dog part didn't do a lot for me - although there were some fine animals my overall impression was of lots of dogs penned/crated and waiting in a hot+noisy place... then being paraded and fiddled with. Doubtless many of these...

Found on the net ....a walk, perhaps.... or one of these :rolleyes: http://www.petpeek.info/ He doesn't look happy . . .

Just terrible http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=402734&in_page_id=1770 Just noticed the police guy is called Wooff

A few months back Zelda lost quite a bit of weight and a blood test revealed her to be suffering from pancreatitis (weight loss was the only visible sypmton). Thankfully she has now recovered - blood test results are much better - and regained some weight. My confusion is this when she was...

After a recent thread got me back to thinking about the plight of the Spanish Galgo's, I thought I'd post something light, for fun ... Zelda's new hunting is for ... her favourite stuffed toy ... and not to destroy but to cuddle up with during siesta ... what a ferocious beast she is :D

Look at these two this morning - taken whilst I was out ... its the gate of my driveway to the street I put the cane stuff inside the iron gates to stop them getting too distracted by passers-by . . . :rolleyes: Are they waiting for 'daddy' to come home, making sure the extended Spanish...

Sometimes, especially in summer, on a community internet bulletin board here you'll see Brits trying to earn some extra bucks to extend their time here in the sun. Just saw this one: "Want something professionally typed? I can do it in 1-2 days for you for just 10 euro/hour, just email it...

Check out what this guy did :eek: http://news.aol.com/entertainment/music/articles/_a/dog-destroys-elvis-teddy-bear-at-museum/20060802160609990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001

Lazy Sunday morning? Not for Bonnie - her new game today was to half-empty the dog toy-tub out into the yard for some reason best know to herself ... ten toys around Zelda's open kennel, which she seems to have claimed for herself, and more elsewhere in the yard. Maybe she's looking for the...

Just caught this on UK TV and found this link http://www.itv.com/news/index_9ee9d3e3e8588d448b42b8c2d18a6e78.html :( 25,000 animals with no access to water

I cannot believe this rubbish, in the UK Times Online newspaper today!!! This follows the story of the guy for was found to have killed something like 10,000 greyhounds with a bolt-gun once they had been 'finished with' at the racetracks... (that story was posted on Chaz) What the f--- ...

Zelda the shelter galgo is getting 'fixed' tomorrow... after waiting some time: she's had a mild blood disorder which has recovered now after a special diet, and so its time. There is a risk with any operation due to her breed, but its better done and she's booked in for the morning...

Anyone had any experience getting an ear hematoma treated, or know anything about recovery? My folks dog, and old GSD-X, had a pretty bad one a couple of weeks back (ear full of blood/problem with vessels is my basic understanding), and had an op to fix it. The main problem has getting...

Interesting article I found on the web... http://www.bluecross.org.uk/web/site/News/2006/PerfectDogSyndrome.asp Not helped by (UK, maybe US too?) reality-TV type "quick fix" dog training..there was recently a programme on UK TV called "dog borstal" - I only watched it for 2 mins and saw a...

Zelda, our 2nd rescue, we think -about- 4, is going to be "fixed" in the next week or two, she was just coming out of heat when we got her and hadn't been at the shelter long. (Our other dog Bonnie was already done when we took her.) Question is: apart from the obvious post treatment care...

Food questions.. how to get onto some commerically available product (so we have to cook a bit less!) and maintain a good balance.... Following Bonnie's poisoning and stomach pump some months back we've changed from her regular natural wet food (was Nature Diet, www.naturediet.net) to home...

Just over a month ago we got a sad looking Zelda from the shelter. A lovely dog, a dog in need of care and love, with very sad eyes and extremely nervous of pretty much anything and everything. Look at her now. Healthier and one happy hound :) Still some confidence and seperation issues to...
