As far as I am aware in Australia The "Beware of the dog sign"opens you up to liability as some have said because you are admitting your dog is or can be aggressive. It is so wrong that no body takes responsablity for there own actions now days. :evil:

Thanks HF I see your point, the cut that was glued was a straight tear which wasnt to deep but needed to be held together, The dogs were both also put on antibotics incase of infection, I would definently head to the vet if I felt that it was nessasary and I did, but after seeing the results from the glue I would like to have some at home incase we have any future issues that can be delt with at home.

Hi Guys yesterday I had to go to the vet with 2 of my dogs as they had had a fight, normally we dont have any aggresive behavour to worry about but as we have some new chickens and one got into the back yard with the dogs they fort over it. (naughty dogs) Anyways chicken has gone to heaven and doggies to vets. My question is does anyone know what the glue is that the vets use to stick wounds back together I would like to get some to keep in my dogs emergancy kit. I can ask the vet next time I go in but any info would be helpful. Charlie came off second best which suprised me as she is normally the more dominant. They glued one of her tears up with the glue and it seems to have held together well.

Keeping you and bear in my thoughts,

Welcome Back. Merlin is just soooo cute. Best of luck with him.

Not sure on the best clippers I just got mine from the pet shop. I do my dogs myself and all behave well except Charlie. I almost have to pin her down she goes a bit silly. And she is very strong, it would help if someone helps you keep the dog carm. Good luck and the best thing to do is to get someone to show you how, Vet, groomer or someone that knows how after that as long as the dog isnt being difficult :roll: its easy. :wink:

I get where your coming from with the red rott thing like red dobes (Had a red dobe) but as far as I am aware they dont come in any colour other than black & Tan so therefore I would think that it is crossed. Then people like your boss get hold of them and as you say pass them of as the rare red ones.
Having been involed with and owned rotts over some 17 years I have read and own a number of books and Black and tan is the only colour they should come in.
Unfortunatly while there are people in this world that get sucked in with out doing any reseach on a breed they will be exploted by others out to make a buck. :roll:
Good luck with your job. -
:o I am sorry you have to work for someone that has totally different values, veiws etc it must make it difficult. You metioned a red rottie that she was kean on getting her hands on. :o What the, whats that all about. And the rest. :roll:
-
Firstly I am glad that she is healthy, but on the other hand it is terriable that you have been mislead. Can you take it further and look into how this came about and do something to try and stop it happening to others. You are completly right by saying to people to beware and know matter how much research you do can you really trust the person at the other end. Good luck in finding out where your pup really came from. :-?

I'd be stearing clear of this jerk. :x

Sorry to hear bongo isnt feeling great. In answer to your question with our Bulldogs we use 1 cup of boiled water with 1 teaspoon of cooking salt left to cool then we use this solution and make up pads to wipe, drying the area with a dry make up pad? Not sure weather this will help bongo. Good luck.

:D Wow they are so cool.

Well first off having had docked breeds over the past 15 years (Dobe, Rotties, Bull dogs) it is something that here in Australia we are going to have to get used to. (Having natrual tails that is) Not sure about all states but in most if not all it is against the law for a vet to dock tails, croping hasnt been done here for as long as I know???? However anyone that has a litter of puppies can chop of there tails themself. HOW WRONG IS THIS?
In my last litter I had 10 pups and 5 had natraul short tails and 5 had long. 1 that had a natraul short tail (it was like 3/4 with a huge kink) Was docked by our vet as it could have caused problems sitting ect.
Dont quote me on this one as I am not sure wheather this is right.
The standard of docked breeds in australia has changed to include there natural tails and as of last year if you sell a pup to be shown it must have natural tail. So the only people docking tails in Australia are people selling pups that either are not registered or are not to be shown and vets only docking for health reasons.
Please correct me if I am wrong. :wink: -
Its a hard decision BM and I cant help make that decision. I would just like to say that goodluck in the decision that you make I am sure that you will find the right choice.
:wink: -
Congrats on your soon to be new addition. I have owned a huskie mix, he was a Kelpie /Collie /huskie mix. Training and socialisation will be the most important things to start with. Good Luck. :wink:

Good Luck with your new pup. There have been some very good comments made and I would have to agree that it is most important that you socialise and train your pup/dog. As with all breeds it is recommended that you do dog obedience but more so with breeds that have high working drives as they enjoy having a job so to speak. Training may be hard work but the results will speak for themselfs. If you put the effert in you will have a most loving, caring, happy, healthy compainion for life and he will be a plesure to own.
This comment may not apply to you but many people often think that by socilizing and training that there dog wont make a good guard dog. This is incorrect.
HELP! Hot spots!
in Everything about dogs

Our Rottie also suffered from hot spots and malamum's advice is spot on. The area needs to be kept as dry as possiable and this is difficult as you can not get near her to treat her. They can spread like wild fire, start off a small patch and within hours your looking at a huge sore. We found with our dog that it was food that brought his on, anything with preservitives in it. We cut out most meat products and fed Bonnie Dry food (made with Kangaroo meat no additives or preservitives) and vegies, pasta, rice, eggs and yoghurt etc.
This helped him, when he had a flare up we would scub with iodine dab dry with guaze and apply anticeptic powder or cream.
I know this is not of much help as you cant get near her. Is someone able to distract her with food whilst the other person gets some powder on her back. Maybe if she relises that you arnt going to hurt her she may relax a little. Start of be just tring to get near her and praising her for that.
Good luck.
