Bonnie is now just over 9 months so could give you an indication of one path forward. We feed her about 390g of Orijen puppy (just moved to the large breed puppy food), which is split up for Breakfast and Dinner, but we fill a large kong with her kibble for lunch. This is as we both work so she's ha...

I agree what has been said here, that is more of a guide than a rule - you just need to be sensible and not overdo the exercise. I'd love to say they'll tell you when they've had enough exercise, but that rule never really applied to Bonnie and we needed to restrict her exercise - energy is not an i...

Bonnie has a mix of JWB puppy food (lamd and rice) and Orijen puppy food. It disappears very quickly, although to be honest I have a feeling Bonnie is one of those dogs with a "healthy" appetite

We are slowly changing over to the Orijen puppy and it seems to be going down very well.

Just a few quick questions, Bonnie doesn't have any issues with her joints/ limbs at the moment but I thought about giving her some additional cod liver oil just to keep everything well lubricated. 1. Can you use CLO tablets meant for humans - I assume you can? 2. Dosage wise, I assume one each morn...

Hello there, Don't know any beaches near you as I live up North, but found this site very useful. You can search by area and it tells you if dogs are allowed and when, what facilities are there plus other useful info. http://www.goodbeachguide.co.uk/ Bonnie loves the beach so it's well worth the tri...

We have noticed that Bonnie is starting to "act up" in the last couple of days and were wondering if this could be the emergence of the teenage period. She has just turned 5 months so I would have thought that's a little early. What are peoples experience with this? Recent actions have involved a lo...

Bonnie is just turned 5 months and is 20" and 15.5kg. She was growing at about 1" and 1kg a week but this seems to be slowing down a bit (we were starting to get concerned how big she was going to end up), but seems to have settled a bit now. Bonnie was also the smallest of a litter of 5 :shock: so ...

If you have been offered one for free I'd make use of that. A lot of people buy the larger crate and then use a partition to limit the amount of space the pup has access to. This is due to the fact that if the crate is too big they'd use one corner as the toilet :shock: negating the use of the crate...

Bonnie has the same ability of killing the grass :( , a couple of the solutions seem good in theory however as Bonnie tries to get the bone picture out of her water bowl (it's part of the bowls design), adding anything else to the water is a no go. In terms of relaying the lawn, a word of warning - ...

We shall try to be there on Sunday to introduce Bonnie - and to see what we've let ourselves in for with an ever growing Doodle

For some strange reason Bonnie has started to chew the bark on the Buddleia in our back garden. Not the usual grab a mouthful whilst wandering past as many other plants have suffered, but wandering up to the plant, lying down and let the chewing commence :shock: :shock: Has anyone else suffered some...

Yes, it's fair to say Bonnie was crashed out for quite a while after the run - the quiet was bliss

She was a bit disappointed the next walk when it was just her though

No, not another Doodle, but my parents Doberman... I think at first the thought was - he's a bit big, but then the play started and they seemed to get on great, as the photo's show. http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac345/rgdn001/IMG_1738_v1.jpg?t=1275463368 The chase starts in the garden http://i9...

We had a similar issue with Bonnie (aged 17 weeks). She sits in the back seat of the car with a harness on. If she is there by herself as soon as the car starts moving the drool lbegins and within 10 - 15 minutes the sick follows. If someone is sat in the back she is fine (although we haven't yet go...

Thought you could but thought I'd best check - cheers for that.
