SwissVan Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 They are an amazing breed. So much charisma. The expressions he has - pulling his ears flat/back when you raise your voice or when he is uncertain. He "talks" to you when he wants attention, making diffetent pitched howling/growling sounds. And they are busy. He is ball-mad, will chase anything that is thrown until he collapses out of breath.

His jaw is even as strong as a Staffie's. You can pick him up and shake him around while he is hanging onto the rope. His name is Rover. Unofficially Rover McRover....

DJR Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) The story of a dog called Dude and the Christmas lamb.....My neigbour was kind enough to give Rufus a big lamb femur after Christmas. I knew he tends to get the runs from eating bones, so, I should have just accepted the gift and chucked it in the bin.......but noooooo.......in the spirit of giving and receiving I couldn't throw Rufus' present away, could I? Bad mistake! Yes, you guessed right! I regretted my decision for 3 days afterwards while I had to clean up the shitty mess all over the backyard. Just as well he's my best pal! But my new years resolution is to be totally hard and heartless next time!! Edited January 12, 2018 by DJR Wannabe, Kalahari Vegmot and BigDL 3
Readsalot Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Question: What is your policy with bones? I read somewhere cooked bones are really dangerous for dogs as they become brittle and splinter. Therefore I almost never give my dogs bones anymore. I assume raw bones are still okay, but my policy is better safe than sorry. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
DJR Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 ............I read somewhere cooked bones are really dangerous for dogs as they become brittle and splinter............Yes, that is the common wisdom. But you will hear from gazillions of people who give their dogs cooked bones and never have a problem. Others believe sheep and cow bones are Ok, but not chicken bones. Nobody mentions horse bones. Personally, I don't give my Labs bones.....except when I am stupid / weak enough. A hoof seems ok for them to chew on. Mojoman and Readsalot 2

Sent from my Nexus 5 using TapatalkOn the farm we had 8-10 big dogs always (Great Danes, Irish wolfhounds and bouviers). We used to give them massive bones that we got from the butcher without ever having a problem. Our Spaniel Cross Collie has got hold of bones a few times and we have had to get him sorted out by the vet 3 times with splinters in his guts, resulting in pain, discomfort and significant costs.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using TapatalkNo bones and no human food.It has happened a few times with the scottie that a bone gets lodged either in his top or bottom jaw. They might get some gravy over their pellets at times. And they are given food twice daily. There won't be half-eaten bowls of food around Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Edited January 12, 2018 by AnythingBut Readsalot 1
HdB Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Nope. Many moons ago (I was still in primary school) we lost our border collie due to what was suspected to be a bone-related gut injury.So, rather safe than sorry - I don't want to experience that again ever. Readsalot, DJR and Kalahari Vegmot 3
CogitoErgoSum Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 At long last a photo of these two. They just don't keep still long enough. They are sister and brother, albeit 1st and 2nd generation. Left is Nina (tan), she is 17months. On the right is Boela, he is 18weeks... We had to spay (*spelling*) her which resulted in her picking up quiet a bit weight.
