River Dancer 1174592     Barked: Thu May 2, '13 5:46pm PST  I agree a vet visit may be in order. I have read hair can sometimes cause blockages. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

River Dancer 1174592     Barked: Sun Apr 28, '13 6:15pm PST  That is a hard call. I had dogs all my life too and I did the research but my aussie is different than any dog I had before. River is very active, too smart for his own good and has a very high prey drive. My aussie is very velcro and does not like to be alone. Fortunately in our situation hubby and I work different shifts so River does not need to be alone for long periods. River was a great puppy but his teenage time was tough. You should find a trainer with experience with aussies. We went through several before we found a good one. He calmed down around age 2. At 5 years a 5 mile walk is just a good stretch of the legs for him. He loves to swim, play soccer and fetch but has no interest in the frisbee. Aussies need lots of socialization but be careful. My dog was attacked in a dog park and now has a fear of strange dogs. We have done agility, rally and nosework. Aussies are great companions, loyal and versatile. He takes up most of my free time but I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't think I could have given an aussie enough time and exorcise when I was in college and working part time. That is my experiance with my aussie. I hope it helps you with your decision. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Australian Shepherd > Natural Bobtail?

River Dancer Born to Wiggle     Barked: Mon Apr 15, '13 6:07pm PST  Is your dog registered? It says on my aussies reg. form that he has a natural bob tail. I think it says Nb or something and I had to ask the breeder what it meant. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Australian Shepherd > Size of an aussie

River Dancer Born to Wiggle     Barked: Sun Feb 17, '13 3:25pm PST  That could depend on what he is mixed with. If he is mixed with a larger breed dog he could possibly get a bit bigger than a full aussie. My male purebread aussie is about 22 inches tall and 63 lbs. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Can arthritis get worse in certain seasons?

River Dancer Born to Wiggle     Barked: Mon Feb 11, '13 5:51pm PST  Our Dolly had arthritis and it was harder on her when it was cold or damp. We used to increase her glucosamine/chondroitin during the winter but I would check with the vet first. A bed that is slightly elevated off the floor can help or one that is very thick. Good luck. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
