Thanks Nettle

I knew I was right and I trust my RR a lot more than people and I think I have always felt safer around dogs than humans. I don't quiet understand how he passed as a vet when he said what. I was more shocked with it coming from a vet

ok I promised photos but am finding it hard to keep him still every time I take a photo he keeps moving and I end up with just his tail or bottom :oops: . what can I do to get him to stay still? other than that he is great and the scratching on the sofa has stopped :D I also need advice in general c...

Hello I was at my local vets yesterday and he was saying that I should be careful when my RR ( rhodesian ridgeback) grows up as he will turn into and aggressive mess who will attack me :shock: :evil: . I was blown away at his stupid comments. I have already switched vets but I asked him were on eart...

Hi JudyN

thanks for the Advice. I shall be taking photos tonight when he has gone to sleep. I will also take one of him in his pram tomorrow.

Hi Nettle

thanks for the reply.

that makes a lot of sense. the only GSD rescue near us is does not have there own kennels so he would have to foster but I don't think that would be a good idea for him.

I would be very greatful if you could tell me what the GSD quirks would be?

Hi positively members so I brought my new Ridgeback puppy Simba home last Friday he has been perfect on Friday he mainly just slept as the car journey was long. on Saturday he mainly explored his new home and I have been working on his toilet training which he is doing very well with as he has not h...

I am very close to my brother and really want to help him. he is home all day and will be there ...

Hi Nettle thank for the info I get it now, I was actual reading a post by someone else on a German Shepherd forum about this and one of the members really summed it up similar to what you have said. she said that all the GSD she has owned were more intense than any Golden retriever she has ever owne...

Hi Everyone thank you to all of you, I fully understand and am prepared for that. Ari_RR I do have a sense of humour which your right I will need when I bring him home :D . one last thing I would like to ask with the other thing I asked, I get now how training a rottie differs to a lab but what abou...

Hi thanks Delladooo for you reply. I am still looking forward to what others say on this but I get what your saying and understand a bit better now. while I am understanding things there is something I would really like to be explained as well as above and that's how is a Labrador "easier"...

Hi I will be bringing home my new RR (rhodesian ridgeback) puppy in a few weeks. so I have been reading Victoria's Newer book (2013) as it took me a while to get hold of a copy and have learned that there is no such thing as dominance and that there is no such thing as pack leader but with what I re...

the breeder who I am getting Simba from emailed this link on info about the RR http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/he ... backs.aspx I thought I would post it for Ari_RR to see if there is any truth in this link
