Have you tried her on a elimination diet to figure out if she has food allergies? That is propably the cause for this. The most common allergenic foods for dogs are cow, rice, grain and corn. But it could be anything. Are you giving her antibiotic? That usually causes yeast (is that the right...

Crazy russians goofing around and Manu the senior is like OMG... :D This is how it is in our home every evening.:rolleyes:

He's adorable! :) But now you have to get a 4th one...

We went to a match show again. This time it was a great success!! Reino was 1st of the blue group and BIS4! :) We got a lot of prices and trophys.

You have to inform us on your success then Penny. :) I've been practising with Reino just like that, my husband filming us. And I even took this handling-course in january because I had no idea what I was supposed to do. :D In Finland there's 3 size-groups; rabbit, mini and standard and...

Good luck with training! Have you already decided shows to attend?

Wow! :) Happy birthday Heidi!

Mine wear both; collars on short walks and harnesses on long walks. I also think that harness is much better because the pressure is on a wider area and not just on the neck. But of course, as someone said on the previous thread about this subject, the best way to prevent any injuries is to...

Oh, and this is what the judge said about Reino: "B/T with good colors. Masculine head. Good neck. Shoulders should be placed more back. A little short upper arm. Very nice angulation in rear. Roomy ribcage. Very good movement, but a little french in front. Beautiful coat. Standing very good."

We went to finnish dachshund specialty today. Reino was JUN EXC1 CQ. Wow! :) We have at least 2 more dog shows planned for this summer.

Here's Reino, Jussi and Manu. :p

They're such cuties!! :)

Prong collars are illegal in Finland. And for a reason, I think!

I was wondering the same thing... But I didn't dare to ask, because I thought it was just my bad english... :D

Yes! :) That is the most important thing.

Well, I have no idea what's the right answer, but if you use common sense, a good harness (like a Y-harness, the middle one on my pics) divides the pressure on a larger area and the pressure point is on the chest and not on the back which in my opinion is better than on the neck.

I use both, collar and harness. I use harness when we go for a long walks and when we go tracking. Actually harness is the only way when tracking, because even if the dog pulls, he can still breath normally. I haven't heard that harness is bad for long-back, on the contrary. Here's some pics...

Our boys went swimming in a lake today! Finally it's spring! :) Even our youngest, Reino, went in although he hasn't been that into swimming in the pool.

Aww, they're so cute. :) Congrats to you and the whole family! I see merle babies also, they're corgeous! Gjbain - 11 puppies! Wow! That's a huge litter! :D Did all the puppies do ok?
