New to this thread but just brought Lola back from Hong Kong with me. Cost me a fortune but she is loving self isolation in Whitstable. We rescued her from SPCA after a court case for cruelty. They told us she was a terrier cross but she is now the size of a small pony. Any ideas what breed ?

I can see terrier in the face (wirehaired terrier) maybe, but the coat looks almost Akita. How many crosses though could be several.1

It is only 12 quid. Glad it went so well. JJ does not like the vet. Probably because they nipped his balls off!T_C_E said:
Good for you, saved yourself a vet bill. 😉MuttleyCAFC said:
Success. It wasn't too hard at all. We will probably do at home from now on even after lockdown. Got a nice treat of some of yesterday's roast chicken we saved as his treat.T_C_E said:
It’s the only logical reason to teach a dog to offer a paw in my view.MuttleyCAFC said:Operation JJ's nail clip coming up after The Chase! He hates it. We normally take him to the vet, I hold him tight with him muzzled and a blanket over him whilst my wife talks to him and the vet clips.
My son is going to have to hold him and I clip today. I have the safety clippers I ordered online, but am not looking forward to it. I wish there was an easier way.If I was starting afresh, sit on the floor with my dog and touch his paw if his paw doesn’t move give him a treat if does then dont. Keep doing so until it becomes habit, then progress to holding the paw if he doesn’t pull away then treat, if he does then don’t......
place cutters nearby in view but don’t touch them touch/lift paw reward or not as appropriate.Handle cutters until he’s comfortable and reward etc,1 -
Bertie and his chicken still seem to be getting on.

He’s coming home tomorrow, 😍😍 I’ll be driving up to Peterborough at stupid a clock for a contactless change over. As a rescue volunteer we are allowed to move dogs from a to b as long as guidelines are adhered to. It would have been 12 weeks Tuesday, he originally went away for a week /10 days confidence training.

Mine had a phantom pregnancy when she was about two if I remember correctly. She had a big pink plastic bone which she clearly regarded as baby and would not let it out of her sight and got mightily pissed off if you went near it. It passed naturally as the vet said it would but it was interesting to say the least.Hal1x said:Bertie and his chicken still seem to be getting on.2 -

Poor Freddy has always been too scared to go in deeper than his ankles but today was running around the lido wall at Westgate and slipped over the edge. Had to fish him out as he went right under😱

Another use for our 4-footed friends? Please meet the first 6 dogs in a trial to see if they can be trained to sniff out CV-19.

JJ has a bit of a watery eye. Has that mark down his left side where it seems to have watered - quite a few dogs have these marks normally but JJ never does. His eye looks ok but must be watering for the mark. Any advice?0

Apple cider vinegar should remove the staining, dilute and wipe away from the eye.MuttleyCAFC said:JJ has a bit of a watery eye.

Any advice?We use ACV from numerous things, added to water will help stop fleas along with spraying externally when grooming. 50/50 Is normally sufficient.1 -
Thanks

They will smell like a chippy for an hour or so but it’s good stuff.0

The Fanackapans are now the proud grandparents to our 6th "grandchild".....8 week old Rango.
I previously mentioned that our son & his family were looking for a puppy that would grow to be a medium sized dog with minimal shedding.
Your challenge, if you care to accept it, is to name the breed they chose.
The prize ?
Hmmm. Will have to think about that.

Hmmm. Will have to think about that.Portuguese Water Dogs are on the slightly larger size of medium, Poodles are technically medium size, but so are German Shepherds. So I’m going for PWD?1 -
No, T.C.E.
Think outside the box.....
We were totally shocked when we discovered the breed they had chosen.0 -
