Things have taken a bit of a bad turn here, Murphy had calmed a lot since George arrived but the dark nights are causing problems. He has a light collar when its dark and we walk with torches that way we can see uneven paving, dog poo and any other debris that might be laying around. But we cant...

No advent calenders for the dogs the treats inside are normally too commercial for them. Normally I do buy one for myself just another little Christmassy thing to brighten the days but I forgot this year. But OH who has always treated Christmas like the grinch has decided he loves the idea.. He...

I have to say I often hear the same excuse with slightly different wording.. 'Oh but hes a rescue', when the dog is behaving badly (often off lead) as I used to point out all three of mine were rescues but it was no excuse for continued bad behaviour. George has very bad habits, he came like...

Here in NL everyone has a family 3rd party insurance. It covers children and pets.. my neighbours son burnt down a barn ,,, all paid by the insurance.. It only costs a few pounds but the peace of mind is well worth it.

Good luck @Josie I hope you get to the bottom of his problem soon and he feels well again.

When Murphy was very young we tried raw and he was sick so we gave up for a while..We tried steamed lamb heart which he ate with gusto but when his allegies got really daft we tried raw again and this time he stuck with it.. Im so glad because his allergies are now minimal..

Be prepared to be totally spammed with photos , we are out nearly every day with the camera ..

It a really new concept here and most people see it as an American gimmick so they take no notice!

Im glad people are finally letting go of the whole dominance alpha male rubbish.. Stabijs as a breed are known to shut down when faced with harsh treatment or training , the breed club actually says a firm but gentle hand is needed. Just because you use rewards it doesnt mean you cant be firm in...

We have been working hard with George the past few weeks. In a safe 'doggy playground' we have practiced recall and in deer free walks we've practiced walking nicely on the longer lead. After a lovely walk yesterday ,this morning we decided to put his training to the test and returned to our old...

Wow, yes Murphy was 27kg at his last vet check and the vet says hes on the fatter side so we have cut his meals slightly..He is very active and had been getting 2 x 250gr now reduced to 2x 200gr

you can see their adventures here Murphy George's Moments

I agree go to a good pet shop and find one that fits well. Dont just go by the advice on the packaging. We used one for a little while with our BC because he had never been on a lead and would tug like a train I was ill at the time and I didnt have the strength to hold him on a normal lead so...

I have to say we use advantix spot on during summer /hot months but the rest of the year we just give a daily sheepfat with garlic block and there have been no fleas for many many years even before Murphy came along.. Ticks ?? one or two during the summer but we walk in long grass and woodland...

No instagram here but Murphy and George have their own FB page ....

Hello.. we are Mad Murphy a 3 yr old Friese Stabijhoun 2 yr old Gorgeous George a beagle(ish) and Basil and 15 yr old African grey parrot who is a monster only my OH can handle. The dogs adore Basil who feeds then treats of nut or carrot but I dont think a bunny would last long in this house...

Hi there

Hi, Murphy is nervous its a breed fault among Stabijs. He was fine until our idiot neighbour scared him with a yard broom and thought it was funny a huge booming man with a broom and a 5 month old pup.. After that he was firstly barky at men then screechy children as has been mentioned the quick...

Benny was 8 when he got digestive problems we switched his diet to raw without problem... Good luck

Agree get the authorities involved ASAP and if you send photos it helps..
