    Relic at almost 9 months old

    Very handsome! He looks like a bigger pup! How tall is he? (I ask because my 9.5 month old is a handsome big big boy and people always confuse him as a collie. It's not that his whithers are so high, but that he has a very long neck.

    My 3 sons!

    Yeah, Callan is a reincarnate of my first Sheltie, Timber. Petite and skittish, but able to hold his own against the demon mirror and windows and mailman. Aiden is Bacca reincarnated. Big and boisterous and full of joy, and when he barks it sounds like a huge dog . I should have named him...

    Ear training

    I've been having the same debate. Aiden is almost 7 months old and his ears are evenly tipped though in danger of going "hound", I think. Im thinking about bridging his ears again. I posted his photo today on another thread, do I wont repost to save space. I had the same thought when I...

    Breathable dog booties

    Maybe socks? The ones I sell have non slip on the bottom. Enough maybe to lift the fit off hot ground. But not too heavy for warm climates. Also we sell wax that you can put on the pads to protect. We use this here in the great white nor th to protect against salt, but it may he help...

    Effectiveness of a "Thunder Coat"

    I would say that thundershirts work about 90%. There are some dogs that just don't respond. That being said you have nothing to loose because the coats are 100% guaranteed. Ask your retailer about the return their return policy. If they say no on a used product within 30 days, find a...

    Gluing ears and negative feedback

    I own a pet store and often bring my 6 month old into the store. I'm still attempting to glue his ears. I don't know how many times customers have said things like "what's wrong with his ears" or "did you crop his ears". I try to explain gluing and why. And they look at me like I'm look...

    My 3 sons!

    Indy is 8.5 years old. Callan is 2.5 years and Aiden (the puppy) is 5.5 months. Look at the size of him! I weighed him today at 22.8 lbs and I think 16 inches. Look at those long legs! I think I brought home a collie in disguise! yikes!

    I had to put down my first dog this christmas. Kidney failure. He wasn't even 5 yet.

    My Bacca was 6 years old when I had to send him to the bridge. He had been on medscf I'm an early age for hypothyroid. Ok I could deal with that. But then his annual blood tests revealed liver issues. Long story, short, he went from healthy to very sick in less than 1 year or so. I had...

    Na, was hoping to buy locally. I need it asap. Everytime I googled it either pointed to Sheltie websites or Michaels or Amazon for Japanese "washi" tape. So again, I ask the question.....is this the same thing? what is unique about japenese tape? I also have a medical supply sore...

    Japanese tape.....where/what to buy?

    Aiden is just over 4 months old. His glue came out about 1.5 weeks ago. I've always glued but never terribly successfully. I always end up with too much glue. And then give up. Thought I might try taping. His ears are currently tipped but flying out......hound like. I thought I...
