As you know, some forum members have expressed a wish to change the forum rules that prohibit providing advice to members with puppies that have...
Hi there and welcome. I think you are right to be concerned. Cruciate ligament repairs will cost a great deal more than this. I would be wary of...
How annoying. I can ban whole ad topics, but of course normally dog training is the most relevant so it seems a shame to do that. I'll see if it...
