By "eating poo" we mean moderate to significant eating of poo that is tiresome to stop - dog poo, human poo, significant eating of other types of poo. Not "my puppy once ate poo" or the odd nibble at horse poo, sheep poo etc. which is easily deterred by a 'leave it!". All dog do that time to time....
Can we make it so you can choose multiple answers? Seeing as I have a girl that does and a boy that doesn't
Hmm....my girl DOES eat poo but not all types and isn't obsessive....and I blame my lack of a good "leave it" that she ignores me....I guess I should tick yes.....
Pongo is discriminating. He has no interest in any sort of poo EXCEPT rabbit, and only when on our lawn. He does like a bit of a nibble at rabbit droppings. But not excessively. I've gone for a "no" but should it be a yes? Ah, decisions decisions....
Now it adds up to more than 100% ! Tut. It's all your fault so you'll have to sprinkle some @snowbunny IT magic on the code....
There is definitely something wrong with us that we are spending our time filling in a poo poll. And then going back to keep checking the results.
Not at all, it's perfectly normal. Well, round here, anyway.....look, we have a pooing sheep smilie and don't think that's strange.
I'm starting to think Harley is a bit strange! She has tried eating cow poo twice, but has never been interested in any other poo - including fox poo!
None of our Labs have ever regularly eaten poo, but they all have been known to roll in disgusting things from time to time. Both of our current Labs will occasionally drink out of the toilet if someone leaves the door open and the lid up. Our first Lab, Ginger absolutely would not.
my chocolate girl nibbles up my big boy's poo as it emerges(!) before it even fully leaves his bum to hit the ground - I think that must be a yes
More corprophagia in spayed and neutered dogs was one of the findings of: Non-reproductive Effects of Spaying and Neutering on Behavior in Dogs Deborah L. Duffy, Ph.D., and James A. Serpell, Ph.D., Center for the Interaction of Animals and Society, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania http://saova.org/articles/Early SN and Behavior.pdf I guess it's too late to ask in the poll if the dog is neutered or spayed? Oban is intact and he does not eat poop. Jet was spayed and she did eat poop, fortunately not dog poop, unfortunately human which we found at portages, campsites and along hiking trails. What did those hikers think, that no one would ever come along the trail just as they made their deposit?
I voted yes. My Daisy snaffles up possum poo (Australian delicacy) on every walk. Only a muzzle would stop this as is is everywhere on all our walks
