When I flushed it the toilet got stopped up... :oops: My Toby does the dig-the-grass thing after he does ANYTHING. Now he has taught it to the other 2 guys, and they are having a contest to see WHO CAN FLING THE MOST MUD/GRASS/MULCH after they go. It is so embarrassing. One night at petsmart a lady said, ohhhhhhhh, THERE'S the dog that was outside throwing all the mulch! Then she turned to her "audience" and said, he was flinging it all up into the air! :oops:

Hobbit my daughter is in love with your goat! She wants one! :lol:

[quote name='Bensam']QUESTION????? What are the Kennel Control Associations in Australia (in particular), USA and UK doing to protect the businesses of the registered breeders against this exploitation. We pay fees to these people to run our business, what are they doing for us?[/quote] Very good point, Bensam.... I don't know that the AKC(american) does anything at all about them. [quote] That's apart from helping to wipe out these puppy farms etc. [b]Breeders have to agree to following a code of ethics to protect the wellbeing of their dogs which is supposed to be the aim of these associations. [/b]How can they distance themselves from the suffering of a lot of those farm puppies and still say they have the wellfare of dogs at heart?[/quote] I don't know that the kennel club here has ever tried to enforce that code of ethics?????? has anyone else here heard of such a thing?

[quote name='K'] also good to teach them is "back up" for reverse very useful when big dog gets stuck in small space as can happen very easily :oops: :D [/quote] :lol: :lol: :lol:

[quote name='Rowie-the-Pooh']Wow! He/she is sooooo pretty! :D Corgi, why don't you go to the website? 8)[/quote] :oops: Rowie you don't have to be so polite.... how about DUUUH Corgi!!!!! Actually both times when I went to it, it opens with a small doggie pic and then freezes. So I can't really get in. I can't click on it or anything.

[quote name='Horsefeathers!']Nothing about a snappy, untrained dog, regardless of size, is endearing at all.<snip> I just believe there is a difference between someone truly trying to help and someone who is just an annoying busybody. [/quote] [b][color=blue]AMEN and AMEN!!!![/color][/b]

[quote name='newfiemom']I don't know about that...everyone of them wags their tails at everybody!!! They love everyone...they even run up to people they have never met before and put their heads on peoples' legs...oh yeah great deterants they are!![/quote] Oh newfie....my rotties were like that! I bought them after an "incident" in my own barn (with 2 drunks, at 2 a.m.) so that I would feel safe. The 3 would run up to someone, give them "the look" --- and then flip over on their backs for tummy rubs! :roll:

hehe. Ok! Guess if I have to announce it, i'll say it that way. I try to talk as little as possible; let others do that. :wink:

[img]http://kobie.petfinder.org/TN129.1066907.jpg[/img] Hutch is a 6 mth old, Boxer. He is a special case. He was found in a rabbits hutch, far to small for him, with very bad skin problems,worms, mouldy food and green water and in his own excrement. So far the vets bills are $650.00, and we still have a couple of weeks to go, before he can be released from the vets. He is not ready for adoption yet, but we are starting to take names and donations, to help this little one get a better start in life. After all that Hutch has been though, he still likes people. But, He will need someone who has the time to spend with him, show him lots of love and care, that he can trust people, and build his confidence. He will make someone a very good dog.

[quote name='Carolk9s']Dwarf Malamute, Malamute/bassett, perhaps Malumute Corgie? :D I don't see any bassett in that adorable short legged dog.[/quote] I thought Corgi before I read bassett....but I see Corgi in everything :lol: . The muzzle looks very corgi to me. But that Pei....man that is CUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!! Even if it is crossed with a towel. :wink:

[quote name='Goblin'] I fthey don't respect you tell them they are not going to like it when Uncle Goblin have to come out their and give them a talking to! :evilbat:[/quote] :lol: :lol: :lol: Where do you live?

[quote name='Horsefeathers!']Corgimom, they're BULL PECKERS!!! :oops: Unless you're talking about this >> :shocked!: <<That's a shocked face. Two bulging eyes and a tiny dropped jaw. What did YOU think it was?! :o[/quote] :rofl: :smilecolros: Oh, HF, I was talking about the shocked face!!! But the laugh was worth the mixup! :lol: I knew what the .... er... [size=2]bullpeckers[/size] were. I won't say what I thought it was....just consider this thread, look at it awhile, and.... well nevermind.

Oh! Cool dog! Tell us about him???? Tell us about yourself????

ahem.....I hate to stick my hillbilly nose into this elite discussion....but I have a little bitty ol' question. The word kelpie looks to me like it would be pronounced "kel-pee". However, in celtic music we have a tune we play, called Song of the Kelpie. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE, pronounces it "kel-PIE"(long "I" sound). Do we assume the song refers to the dog? what is the pronunciation? thanks!

[quote name='Horsefeathers!']:shocked!:[/quote] What is that thing, exactly???

:o oh dear! well it IS a new dog, so perhaps let them settle in a bit? And I definitely would put the dog in its place.... YOU are alpha, not doggie. Don't let him growl! I had the same problem with Toby. He hates Koda. I finally shook Toby by his scruff, telling him NOOOOOO. He got the picture.

So of course the next question you will ask is, why not just leash-walk him? and the answer is, he looooooves to run, practically leaps on his first trip out for the day. I feel he *needs* to run, play ball, play frisbee, etc. But then *I* need for him to come back in without a 20-min chase game. If he wouldn't bark, I'd just leave him out.....[size=2]if wishes were horses......[/size]

The only FACT that I know, is that the animal control officer went out on the report of a "stray", and could not catch him. It took 2 men 3 days to get him. :lol: And I thought [b]I[/b] had trouble catching him!!! He does really well on the leash---- I went to the animal shelter several times and taught him to walk on a leash before I brought him home, since I am in a busy downtown area and he MUST be leashed. When I say, "go inside" and he is off leash he runs crazily but if I say it and he is on the leash, he walks quietly into the house. :o The shelter workers all thought he had been CHAINED all of his life, since he was so bleached out they said he probably was tied in the sun with no shelter. I have tried tying him in the yard for very short periods (like when I was giving doggy baths, tied them out while I gave the others a bath, to let them dry a bit). he went NUTS but I noticed he did know how to untangle himself, so he'd been tied at least some before. I don't think he was a house/apt dog. he was NASTY & appeared to have never been brushed, I would say his whole life's hair was matted on his body. He was afraid of the brush and tried to murder it for the longest time. Also the trainer at petsmart on monday said, no way is he over a year old. She thinks he is 10 months.

Oh..... :oops: ... sorry. Somewhere in that thread I had said: [quote]We went to petsmart for class [/quote] so I thought that would indicate obedience class, though i guess not necessarily so. [size=2]Especially if you read fast like I do, and miss a lot of details.[/size] Anyway. He does great at his class, and great in the house (as far as obedience I mean) and then loses it when he gets outside. Up until 2-3 wks ago, he was only able to go outside on a leash. I have a run I would put him in, then put him back on the leash and bring him inside. So this problem surfaced when I got the back yard fenced in. I thought it would be wonderful, that I could open the door and let the dogs in/out, and that Koda could run around and get the exercise he needs. Instead, he runs around like a maniac, ignores me, annd BARKS. grrrr.
