Gorgeous picture, so sweet.

He's a very beautiful dog, I too hope he's found soon. I wish I was closer to help too.

Hi, I've fed my two on Orijen for at least a year and a half and they've never put weight on, Although I wish Bertie would. I tried Acana for a few days but the dogs weren't as keen and I didn't like it as much. Their poos weren't as firm and I wasn't as keen on the smell of it. Not a very scientifi...

Hi, I think you have to remember the phrase, 'Freedom of choice.' It has to be your decision and no-one else's about whichever dog you are going to give a forever home to. Everyone has an opinion, some good, some bad and you just have take what you want from them, if anything. This is a very helpful...

I think we all try different foods. I've had some real disasters. I thought mine did well on Royal Canin but Toby often ate his poo. I switched to Orijen and have never looked back. Mine haven't put on any weight at all, perhaps I subconciously give them a little less. Their poos are much smaller an...

Hi, Toby has a delicate tum and I give him a spoonful of yoghurt daily and if he has diahorrea, a boiled egg. It's worked every time except once when he had a really bad bug that was going around and I ended up at the vets. I tend to clean up as much as I can with kitchen roll (rubber gloves on) the...

Hi, I had a similar problem, Toby never used to take any notice of horses, then one day he escaped, went to a local farm and ran around the field with the horses. A friend found him and the owner just said if he got kicked it was his fault. I've been a bit worried ever since but as long as he's on a...

Hi again, and sorry I forgot to say until I read Sam's post. Scruffy the gorgeous dood used to do it and her owner put her onto Orijen and she stopped. After the recommendation I put Toby on it too and he's stopped as well. Perhaps there aren't the flavour enhancers in Orijen that attract them? (Hop...

She is a star - well done!!!

Dear Sam, a brave decision but the best for you all. You can now 'relax' knowing you've done what's needed. I do feel so sorry for you all and I know it'll be a massive wrench but also relief as the worry will be lifted. Your breeder has been brilliant too and very responsible. Lets hope Jackson fin...

Hi, I know how you feel. Sometimes my two listen and will lay down and relax, other times like just now - :roll: - neither would leave us alone so they're in the kitchen having quiet time... When this post is written they're going for a play in the garden!!!! I think they grow out of it eventually, ...

Hope you mean the dog :shock: :lol: :lol: :roll: Sorry!! :lol: Unfortunately a lot do it, there's a special name for it which I can never remember. My Toby used to do it but has now stopped, hopefully he's now grown out of it. I've read various reasons as to why they do it, hungry, high undigested f...

Hi Sam, I've just caught up with this. You've had a very upsetting time, it must have been awful for you and your family.
Poor Jackson too but it's great that you had such a good and responsible breeder.
I hope it works out for you all x

Good topic, thank you for putting it on. Toby often has red ears and I just gently pat them with cool water.
The tips on here are very helpful.

Great stuff

I've joined the same club, my ex-husband gave me a dvd on how to train a dog
