Crufts 2024

That's us nearly back home. No big prizes this time

CH. Perseus du temple D'adranos and
Vonkassel Mamba (Percy and Poppy to there pals)

Both gave me everything, travelling, crated, strange environment, the noise, the smell, sliding on the green carpet , the strangers poking, staring/admiring all over 3 days. Percy was definitely in liver mode not show mode. (thanks to my other bitch in full season at home) They did there PR for the breed as did all the rotts.

Another day another activity but for now a nights rest and I'll get to everyone, messages, emails tomorrow

Xl Bully Training Class

I will be starting a class specifically for XL Bullys to help prepare them and their owners for the up and coming ban.

The class will cover

- muzzle training
- obedience training
- household manners
- being neutral around other dogs and people
- predation and prey drive
- legalities such as exemption forms and insurance
- and anything else relevant.

The class will also be a judgement free environment for owners to train together and share best practice and also liaise with each other on how the ban effects them.

The class will be limited to 5 dogs atm as we are still indoors and lack space due to the weather. Once we go back outside we can have more dogs in the class.

£15 per dog, 4 week block. Full payment secures place.

Classes will be held every Wednesday 7pm - 8pm

Starts on Wednesday 24th January.

DM to book a space.

Potential paw and pad problems that are unique to winter

There are a range of potential issues and elevated risk factors to be on the lookout for over the winter where your dog’s feet are concerned. A general check over when you come back from a walk is always a good idea, and you should particularly be alert to the signs of the following common winter problems and dangers.

•De-icing products such as road salt and grit are the biggest potential danger to your dog’s paws. Not only do these products that are often spread along both roads and pavements, provide a hard, abrasive and gritty surface to help to prevent slips and falls, but they also contain a chemical de-icing product that can lead to chemical burns on the skin if exposed to prolonged contact.

Avoid walking your dog over gritted surfaces wherever possible, and if your dog has been into contact with gritted surfaces, wash and dry his paws off thoroughly after your walk.

•Ice balls forming between the pads and toes of the feet and clinging to the surrounding hair can also be very uncomfortable for your dog and potentially lead to ice burns. Also, the slush and ice on the roads and pavements may contain chemical de-icing products as mentioned above, so always check for ice balls and remove them, and check the paws over for ice balls while out walking if your dog suddenly seems uncomfortable or starts limping. Dogs that have very hairy feet are particularly susceptible to picking up lumps of ice- try to keep the hair around their paws trimmed down in the winter to help to minimise this.

•Antifreeze and de-icer products used for cars can be another problem- these products are highly poisonous to dogs, and also have a sweet smell and taste that can encourage pets to ingest them. If your dog gets de-icer on his paws, he might lick this off, again another good reason to wash and dry your dog’s paws off once you get back from your walk.

•Frostbite and even hypothermia can even occur in the paws and other extremities of dogs that are walked or left outside for protracted periods of time while it is very cold- give your dog the chance to get warmed up on longer walks, and keep an eye on his comfort and temperature when out and about on those cold days.

•Just as some people find that dry, chapped and cracked skin on their hands is the bane of their lives during the winter, so too might your dog suffer from the same types of problems on the pads of his paws. Feeding a diet rich in essential fatty acids can help to minimise this kind of problem, as can using a barrier cream or specially designed paw wax, or even special doggy booties or waterproof socks when outside.

Remember, you need to pay a little extra attention to your dog’s paws and general wellbeing over the winter, particularly during the colder months. But as long as you keep an eye on things, address any problems that arise promptly and
make allowances for your dog’s extra sensitivity to the surfaces that they walk on during the winter, there’s no reason why your dog shouldn’t enjoy those crisp, cold morning walks as much as you do

Good morning folks. Welcome to 2024.

Here is an update from my insurers ref the grooming xl bullies going forward from Feb
......

12/01/2024

Very sad that once again a breed being banned to due irresponsible ownership.

Today The Scottish Government has indicated that it will consider replicating the XL bully ban in Scotland.

We urge them to ensure that any legislation gives a sufficient transition period, so owners have time and support to be able to exempt their dogs.
