He is highly intelligent.

Bought myself a rotty around 2 weeks ago.

You won't be disappointed. Rotties are an awesome dog!

Here is our feline princess, Edna:

That's one hairy pussy.

Sorry to hear about your Dog, I also have a Jack Russel and he is a pain in my arse but I love him to death.

Here is a photo of him, his name is Spike. I've also added in a photo of my cat. He is a British Short Hair and his name is Richo.

That is the most precious cat I've ever seen. Goochigoochigoochigoo!!

Shit. Oh God. WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME.

Bump. I hope this is an okay thread to post in.

My almost nine month old golden Labrador male that was a gift to my sister for Christmas (it's the families dog) has been diagnosed with a serious heart condition after the murmur the vet found around 4 months ago was still there the other day. Tyson's missing a left valve (or something other that is major) and it's incurable. He's been treated with some tablets to get rid of the fluid around his lungs (to see if it makes him feel better) and then he goes back to the vet in ten days. He may have to be put down when he returns to the vet. He may survive but either way it's a terrible situation as he's likely to die within the next year or so

It's my first dog (and pet) too .

lots of work training a shepherd but they are great dogs

I'm very interested in picking up a shepherd but concerned about how possible/easy it is to make them social dogs. My biggest fear is having a dog that I have to put out the back when visitor's come round.

How are you going with socializing and training your fella?

He is slowly getting there at 3 years age he has grown out of the pup stage and settled down a lot over the last 6 months. but expect the usual pup escapades like chewed house and garden items...

Its all in the time you take to train and exercise the dog. I spend at least 1 hour taking him for a walk and another 20-30 minutes training him. I suggest you take him to a dog club for a least a year to get some good training tips. And this will get used to being with other dogs. Doing this when they are older is very difficult.
I started taking him when he was 12-14 weeks old and its helped a lot with his temperament.

And buy a gentle leader it makes them far easier to walk than a regular lead

Of course it's ok to post, us pet lovers support each other in good time and bad.

Sorry to hear about your furry mate. I've got my fingers crossed for your dog and yourself. It's heartbreaking when the Vet gives you bad news and you know you have to make That decision. Enjoy your Tyson and give him lots of pats and hugs.

My poor old fella, a Dalmation who is now 11 years and nearly 8 months started having seizures 6 weeks ago, the vet has put him on medication. He had another seizure last night, not a bad one and it was the first in 6 weeks. Vet's diagnosis is old dog encephilitis, inflamation of the brain but other boffin who did his blood test said could be brain tumour. Holy crap. Up where I live in Nth Qld the weather is more than warming up and when he's had a seizure it has been quite hot but more quite humid. Yesterday was like that and this morning at 7.00 a.m. it was 21.5C and 91% humidity. Overhead fans are going like the clappers but air con will be turned on around 10.00 a.m. or so. I can cope at the moment but it's all about Clyde. We will just about donate a kidney for our pets if we could.

So, my Boston Terrier, Archie, is having surgery for juvenile cataracts tomorrow? Has anybody else had to do this? It's expensive but apparently recovery chances are very good. I feel bad for the guy though. He's only 2 and a half. I'm a little unsure about recovery time so if anybody could share their experience that would be helpful. Thanks.

Good Luck to Archie, fingers crossed.

 

[Simple Jack]

What a cutie!

There's pain behind those eyes. Must have been in a war or something

 

[d0gs]

I would post my dog up, but it will take away all of the manliness that I have left!! Being the only bloke in the house I had no say in the choice of dog we got, but still love my Teacup Poodle to bits, even though its a little shit.

 

[Sebastian Balboa]

d0gs, don't worry, mate, it is possible to retain your manly manliness while owning the type of dog that wouldn't look out of place in a Louis Vuitton handbag.

Meet Toby, a Bichon Frise the boys' mother bought earlier this year:

The first pic was not long after he arrived, the second is of him about two weeks ago sound asleep on the couch.
He doesn't malt (or whatever dog's fur does) which is one of the main reasons she got him as she can suffer from related allergies.
The boys love him to bits, as do I, the little shithead.

 

[Bluelegs]

He is highly intelligent.

Not quite smart enough to get rid of the watermark in front of him.

 

[BILC]

This is my 2 year old lab Ella, I wuv her.

No it's not.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Thanks, Gabbie. All went well. Little guy is just recovering now. Lots of eye drops and medication but he's in good spirits. Just hates that cone on his head

They all hate the cone, but they hate a DIY bucket more.

I love a bitch with a little extra meat on her. Cool dog.

 

[j0rdy1]

My dog Madison whose nearly 8 years old. A Chinese Crested Powderpuff x Staffy x Rhodesian Ridgeback x Irish Wolfhound. Few other breeds thrown in deep in the ancestry aswell but she has the body of a Staffy and the hair of a Powderpuff/Wolfhound. Absolute princess and a ditz has no control of her body when she meets new people or when she is running as she will barrel me over if im not careful. Also incredibly difficuilt to get a decent photo of her.

Also have this little guy Wiz who is my sisters dog but I don't live with her anymore so I hardly see him, looked after him when she lived with me. A Pug x Shih Tzu but its majority Pug.

 

[Sebastian Balboa]

Wiz is an absolute cutie!

Tell me about it. My two Dallys had to wear the cone or buster collar for two weeks. My girl Bonnie figured out within 24 hours how to shake if off.

Bump. This is my dog Odin, an 11 month old, blue merle border collie.

Blue Merle's are very cute, but nothing beats a brindle dog. All my dogs have been brindles, even my Cairn Terriers. My Kenny was a brindle & my 7 year old rescue Staffy is brindle.
