Yeah mate, I went through about 2 months of applications, there are so many applicants at the moment it's like shooting fish in a barrel for the rescue groups.Quote:

Lucky to be alive he’s been warned with only a few scratches from trying to play top Boomer with our resident Buck during the week.
Girls tell me the unscathed Roo Mate strategically retreated to the dam center trying to coax him in for a good underwater baptism :-(

He is bit sorry at the moment but so lucky.
Happens too often Mark and our best mates find it hard to learn not to hassle them.
Red would do a runner and chase the hoppers about, but one day she found a male Roo sleeping under a tree, should have not disturbed the snoozer, as it woke and lashed out ripping her along inner rear thigh to the bone and luckily she did walk again. Her mother was coached into a dam by a wallaby, fought it out, neither would not give up and resulted in both drowning. Had my boots off one day to go into the dam to get dog, don't really know how, looked up and dog was swimming to bank_relief.
Submarine Puppy, very lucky for sure too John Mate!
Have been honestly pondering the balance today and believe Big Grey Boomer this year is doing a great job keeping dozens upon dozens of young upstarts from entering his turf and carrying on like Pork Choppies bitch slapping each other....respect the big Croc until proven otherwise ;-)

@MB No specific local mob of note here Mark, so many to count sometimes, mixed thru with red neck and swamp wallaby. Get the upstart roos sparing among themselves and when frustrated attempt to take it out on the local vegetation.
The girls visit looking for quiet place to shelter on windy days with young-ins in pouch. All keep our grasses in check, so much pressure and with past drought is hard for the natives to get growth on _ spring might turn it around after the recent rains.
Perpetually pregnant incredible beasts John Mate! If we build conditions....they will drop another down the shute :-)

The possibility of a 'forever home' arose for Gina & this morning was the day she left us both with tear stained faces. She has been our constant companion for almost 7 months. I knew MrsTea would cry, but my uncontrollable blubbering was (& still is) unexpected. I awoke at 5am to the realisation she would soon be gone & that I had not said my goodbyes to her, so she had an earlier than usual morning walk chasing the ball that she loves so much. Our 'job' was to take her from 'failed working dog' to 'pot licker' - something she had adapted to with ease. Bon voyage little doggie.😭 xxxxxxxxxxxxx

@Cupppa never easy my friend never easy, its part of
life but you dont realise how much a dog can impact your life.
One of the worse things you can do.
ATM we have again 3 dogs go figure he he he but not looking
forward to saying goodbye when the time comes.
Id really like another Doberman, but a retired Greyhound sounds ok as well
Dogs eh what can you do, everyone needs a dog in their life
T shirt I saw at the shops today.
If you want fantastic sex live with a Filipino,
if you want unconditional love.....get a dog.
nothing truer I reckon
Just been through this with my old girl. My condolences mate. May the blubber become for the good times.Quote:

Unfortunately the time has come I believe for next levels of training out the mission, tone for starters, then vibrate, then zappy to snap out of his past being.

Any other ideas @Bidja Mate?

@MB To hopefully avoid in house mishaps, need to take the boy outside before putting your head down for the night and when he pees out side, enforce it by saying have a pee "or what ever to coincide with the activity" and tell him he is a good boy. Could get Jimmy Bidja to pee on command (most times) and we now do it with our other 2 Kelpies before settling for the evening. Don't go hard discipline on em as does more harm than good.:thumbup:
All 4 Kelpies we have had, especially under 10 yrs of age, would do runners at times, chase and round up all things that run/hop and they found it hard to learn of the danger especially with big hoppers. Hard work but they need supervision and teach them to leave it (start with food / treats). Need a large enclosed yard for unsupervised control. Our two now 14 yr old are satisfied to just hang around close by (this is good).
Not a fan on shock training aids, did buy one similar but was never used. Having Red and her 3 pups for 14-15 yrs was a handful but we do miss them not being all together. Now there is only the two remaining/great mates (but getting older).
Found this old pic the other night (4 x full of life). From left: Red_mum(RIP), Jimmy Bidja(RIP), now Al and Chockie both with us.
A beautiful pack there always Brother [emoji106][emoji106]
Apologies if I mislead you, big boof is now well house family (wee/poo) loving trained and only lacking that last instinctive breed chase built deep inside and previously encouraged I’m guessing? Reds & Blues mostly known react so much more intuitive/listen than old hunter mate, love him to bits still [emoji3590][emoji3590][emoji106][emoji106]

Had recent cyst/lump removed from good old Al's neck and was rubbing against collar..annoying. Hopefully you have more luck and responds well to antibiotic_just slashed either side of favorite walk track here yesterday but they love shoving their head into all the curly tailed seed crap ..

That's heavy, but not as heavy as the spinal surgery bill I swallowed for the daughters Frenchie - 10K+ - still waiting on that refund!!!! - and he had to be put down after a short period because it was a total cock up diagnosis - put the bugger thru a lot of trauma.Quote:
