Re: Puppy sits down

Hi, Speaking as someone who has been through that whole pup not wanting to leave to house to go on walks or just sitting down and not moving in the street..I'd say..number one, regardless of the fact that we can't always appreciate that there's anything to be scared at, your pup is definately feelin...

My first job was working for a big dealer in the South, I was earning a pittance, I had one week off in 6, but rode 7 /8 horses a day and had access to the best hacking out country you could imagine..Many jobs and years lat...

Re: Vent!

AND..Why do people who let their dogs come steaming up to yours, whilst you're body blocking / trying to get yours on a lead always shout cheerily 'he's ok!'....it must never occur to them that other people's dog might NOT be ok... :evil: We saw this Weim pup today constantly being told 'no' every t...

Re: Breeze, lately

Re: The ladydog and being on heat

he b itch going into heat is crackling with power. I hate to say 'status' because it has echoes of all the pack rules nonsense, and it isn't like that at all.
