Well....yeah...but, you know - you can have elbows and hips x-rayed for any purpose, and have a vet look at them....then, if they looks good, say...
I have a dog with elbow dysplasia. Many sympathies. I know what it feels like to get the diagnosis and feel a lot of your hopes and dreams...
Oh so sorry you feel that way. It's just it seemed to me that it was rather a central question to the original post, and not just an aside at all....
And when I take a quick look at what I would call typical "pet bred" US labradors, and I've just looked at a couple of high profile sites, they...
Returning to the topic of “Fox Red” Labradors in the ring. The show line breeders I know say the dark yellow died out in "working line" (as you,...
What is? What I said...or what you said? :D Do you really mean you haven't seen any Fox Red Labradors at Crufts on the telly? :D That well may...
This is Betsy's Grandfather - in the show ring. :) He had a career in both field and ring that would be good enough for me. :-)...
Or it can be completely fine and largely uneventful bar the occasional swipe of chicken mayo sandwiches. :D
I had almost identical issues as you describe - a CT scan showed elbow dysplasia that hadn't shown up on previous x-rays. It wasn't all that...
Oh now. A perfect delivery to hand? In any circumstances? Regardless of the dog's history? :D :D :D I might just be tempted....:D (That's not...
Pffft! Is it likely she will be in the kitchen with a boiling sauce pan without you being there? Both my dogs are Olympic kitchen counter surfers...
I have a spayed bitch - it was the right thing to do for my dog, and for me. Although I think 6 months is very, very young to spay, and I'd think...
You may like front fastening harnesses, but there is no evidence that they are safe. So that’s only your personal opinion. [IMG]J I am not...
You have so very missed the point. You have so missed the point that I struggle to even start to explain the difference between what people think...
I doubt any dog works to "please humans". Why would they? For sure, neither of my dogs works for that. One of my dogs will work like a demon...
@Michael A Brooks - Kay Lawrence explains the difference so much better than I can. Here, she is talking about the so called "impulse control"...
This bit though is indeed gobbledegook (I'm absolutely fine with the AKC being guilty of gobbledegook, and unsurprised :D ): It is talking about...
Mmmm.....I think it's pretty different. :-) The term 'impulse control' is far too general to be useful - it suggests that you are broadly...
You are very welcome. :D I'm sure I could dig out one or two more if you like... ;):D Well, I'm very inclined to argue that there is no reason...
Well, I don't think "impulse control" is a useful term, no. But lots of people do, of course. I think it is more useful to think in terms of...
