Safe / Unsafe foods for dogs.

Many foods are counted as toxic foods for dogs. You have no idea how serious harm they can cause. Common foods that we at every day can be poisonous to dogs.

🐝🐝🐝🐝BUSY BEE SATURDAY 7TH DEC 🐝🐝🐝🐝

We had a marvellous turn out this morning for the Busy Bee.
Thanks to the hard work of people who came and volunteered their time this morning, the leaf litter has been removed from the roof of the clubhouse and sheds and gutters cleaned.
So much leaf litter was cleaned out from behind the club house that 5 to 6 trailers loads plus multiple garden bags were dumped on the bonfire pile.
Dominic Auguste arrived with trailer in tow full of equipment, and proceeded to work at the speed of Flash Gordan and the stamina of Superman. 🦸‍♂️
Natalie Humphries provided a scrumptious morning tea. The scones, jam and cream were very much appreciated and devoured by the workers.
A huge thanks and appreciation to Sarah Gorman, Angela and Gavin McShane, Peter Nguyen, Bruce Mentz, Norm Golding, Iain McIntosh, Robyn and Kevin Knuckey, Natalie Humphries, Dominic Auguste and Tracy Roberts. Without each and every one of you the job could not have been achieved. Thank you also to those that would have come but couldn’t, due to previous commitments.

Occasionally some of our breeders take back dogs that require rehoming - often not their fault maybe the owners are moving overseas or a change in the family dynamic. If you are interested please send a message with your details such as what area do you live in, do you have children, (ages) do you intend training, experience with large dogs etc so they can try to match you to a dog. Margaret Adams Editor [email protected] and I will pass them on to breeders as dogs come available.
