well done to the pair of you :wink:

some dog show people are certainly in a league of their own and I have to say that although American show handlers really do take the biscuit, you only have to look around Crufts to see that there are some weirdy British show handlers as well! If I ever get like that, someone can tell me to get a life! :o

thats just...unbelievable... :o

That sounds like a great way to spend a weekend :D

I'm not a pit expert by any means but they look extremely thin. The golden rule of weight on a dog is that 2 ribs showing should be the maximum. Thats what I was always taught with any vet that I worked with.

welcome back again :wink:

ooh they are really lovely! :D

aw poor puppy. Give her a big hug from me please :wink:

Its lovely to see a boxer with a tail to wag because they really do deserve that tail to express their sheer zest for life. Merlin is a lovely pup and I'm sure he will do very well :D

Hydrocephalitis (fluid on the brain) is a birth defect so this puppy couldn't have it as it is much too old a puppy and pups with hydroceph don't survive after birth. I still would say its a photo shop image.

Poor pupster. Hugs going over to Gladis :wink:

well not a dog, but my kitty Phoenix watched with great interest when i was stripping the wallpaper off my bedroom walls then he caught on and was using his teeth to rip off the paper then his paws to rip it down. :lol:

I'm sure he will forgive you as a one off :wink: I remember one year at Crufts I forgot to bring food with me for Meggie and I only realised as the first day was nearly over and they were packing up the stalls. I had to go to the Pedigree stand and beg the guy and explain that I had forgotten to bring her food. He laughed and gave me a bag of pedigree free :wink:

Congrats on the new pup. The breeder really doesn't sound very responsible at all, but I hope for your sake that this puppy works out for you with no problems :wink:

Find out why hes back and why not give him and Zebby a test run together for a week or so? :wink:

Oh my dogness! Just when you think you've seen it all! :o They call [i]this[/i] a Border collie?!!! [url]http://heddinskennel.com/bc.bowie.jpg[/url] [size=2]Hey Kat, I edited your post a little and put a link to the picture rather than the picture itself. Hope you don't mind!--Mei Mei[/size]

I would say its been altered! At least I would sincerely like to hope it is!

I have to be honest and say that I have never once clipped Meg's nails. She has always kept them well short including the dew claws when shes been running. Zoe also gets a lot of hard walking and mostly her nails are only done a few times a year.

HI there, welcome back though I don't think I have met you before :wink:

sounds super! Good luck :D

Try desensitising your pup to having his toes touched. Put the nail clippers away and just touch his toes when you get the opportunity while hes calm and you're lying beside him, then reward him so he associates the touch with a treat. Show him the nail clippers so they aren't like a big surprise to him and let him sniff them or lick them or just generally investigate them. Good luck!

I offered them money for her before but they wouldn't sell her. I'm thinking now of taking legal action because of the hate mail. I'm just at a loss as to why all this is even happening to be perfectly honest. :-?

Aw you're really good for looking after Cheech for his owners Dal :wink:

I am sooo glad that big lig finally got his forever home :D

hey Dal, the citronella bark collar called aboistop is a really effective collar. Its just the electric shock bark collars that I think are forceful inhumane training.
