Border Collies TR

We travel in a fiat palio 1.3 diesel apprx. 55-60 mpg. slightly bigger than mini!

Taking wolf pups from the den and bring it to home for domestication sounds not logic. But for years people believed this "pinocchio hypothesis".

Do they have more books? The one I read is "a new understanding of canine origin, behaviour and evolution". Actually the theory of evolving dogs from wolf is really interesting.

Is there any one who read Ray & Lorna Coppinger's book about dogs?

By the way thanks all who replied my post. I will write the next results ASAP.

I didnt mean I will stop the search. The vets are my friends and one of them is Whisky's trainer. What we decided is to check him by activity. The day test was made 3 units of blood used. (we had rabies titre test for a visit to Europe) thats why we wait for two weeks. Also because the value is just under the limit.

Anyway I do not want my dog to be used as test material. He is happy with what we are doing. I dont want to make his life a hell visiting the vet all the time. I'm started vit B 12-6 cure. In a small dose. And lowered the exercises. But if you advice ıron tabletts or something supports the case ı will be appreciated.

My vet said they will make the test 2 weeks later again. She says it is not easy to figure out the reason immediatelly. 2 years ago he suffered low blood sugar level it was 34 and normally it must be around 76 or something like that. I solved the problem by feeding him 3 times a day, and lowering the exercise amount. There are no ticks or fleas because I check him very often and all necessary medical threatments are done properly. And we are at the end of winter season, ticks will come out by spring time. I can feel he has a problem because gets tired very soon (after 15-20 frisbee throws) and looks like shaking (not exactly) or foolish, reactions to the commands become slower till he recovers the tired condition. Is there a special food for BC's? I feed him with Eukanuba Performance, he is not food crazy, and never eats with hunger. Even meat from barbecue does not attracts him. I dont want him to give more blood, cause he feels much worse after that. He feels tired all the day after that happened.

in the result of complete blood test, vets found my 4 years old BC anemic. The blood value is 6.11, It must be between 7 and 13. So does anybody have an experince about this. Can I recover by food diet or what? He is quiet active dog, playing frisbee and doing agility.Any advices?

responsibility is something very different than threat I guess, can you say the same thing for a man waiting at the busstop with a tiger on leash. "dont worry I'm responsible he is under control"

Pitbull owners in my country are very similar to the example in the article, but the solution is neither. Even if the guy gets nozzles, nobody guarantees they are used everyday. Restriction of ownership is necessary and huge fines must be applied to the owner of such kind of agressive dog. Not only for one breed.

My dog knows right and left,he can walk backwards before I throw the disc sometimes I commands several meters backwards to make the distance of run as far as possible but stil he can catch the disc befor 40 yrds. I have no problem with obedience, he is more faster than the disc anyway, but I can not throw it more than 35-40 yds. Thats the problem, How I can do that, how somebody set the record with 97 yds, thats where I need help!Do they have a special machine? I'm also throwing this stuff more than 100 times a day for 3 years already. And I throw almost perfect parallel he catches in the midair almost 95 percent.

I read 97 mt (about 90 yd) for record. Howcome how can I throw 97 mt? incredible, anyway even if I achieve my dog never let the disc go so far he will catch it before 40 mts. Can you tell how it works?

Hello, there is no frisbe or flydics competitions in my country, but my dog loves this game and play since he is 1 year old. I throw parallel to the ground and he catches it in the air. Now he is almost 4 years old. Sometimes I do 200 throws a day.Mostly 25-30 mt far sometimes (if there is wind behind 40 mt) After he catches the disc, make a big round and brings to me. Thats all we do.Is this a competition matter or what? What are competition rules? Fast throws? What? The amount of throws? How do the judges give point?

By the age of 7 months probably he will start to listen you. He must learn the command "no" first of all. And "stay" when you are on the corner of sidewalk. Do not let him/her without a stay. Let him/her by the command "go". My Whisky is living of the leash since he is 6 months old. And we have really heavy traffic in some parts of the district. You can also get his interest by producing chasing games like throwing ball or frisbee. And show him that you are the only entertainment for him.
