Breedia Dog Forum
For most dogs, regardless of breed, play is something that comes naturally, is part of the growing up & learning process & with our neotenised...
Several people also told me that when I first got Barney:lol: I don't like to generalise about behaviour or be too breed-specific, but my two...
Your lucky lucky dogs:lol: So glad to hear the Poo has settled in so well.
I think, from your posts, that you'll be a fantastic owner:-). You've clearly put a lot of thought into getting the puppy & are very knowledgeable....
Too bl**dy right I would:-). It's my dream if I ever win the lottery! But thank heavens for people like you (& your long-suffering missus:grin:)...
Sorry I missed your post ~ I would have given you my thoughts if I'd seen it. Your little terrier sounds very much like an elderly dog my friend...
It does sound like fluid on the joint. I assume that it doesn't affect your dog's movement & isn't painful. I'm a bit surprised at your vet's...

But why have labradors been bred to two different types in the first place? I still don't understand this part. Surely labradors were originally...
Borderdawn ~ you seem to know a lot about breeding & showing. I would be very interested in your views on my post 131. Thank you.
Thank you for your reply Tarimoor (& Rune, thanks for your post too:-) ). I'll have to research the arguments on working/show labs as I wasn't...
Well I've also read this thread with interest, but only because I've got a yellow lab & a black lab x:-) . I'm the first to admit I have no...
My dogs are off lead 99% of the time too, & I often walk in places where there are other off lead dogs. I don't have a problem with that & I...
Sorry but I don't agree with this. It goes against all the "rules" of learning theory. If a fear-aggressive dog is on lead, and then that dog is...
