has he had his thyriod checked?
- By katja [gb] Date 31.10.05 08:25 UTC
No we have not had that done, but i will be ringing my vet latter he has been checked by the vet and he thinks it could be bad breeding.
- By michelled [gb] Date 31.10.05 08:49 UTC
has he put on any weight lately?had any coat change?or had any "strange" lameness.

pm me with his breeding if you like

has the moodiness always been there or just recently?

what do you "do" with him? (he might need a hobby)
- By katja [gb] Date 31.10.05 15:34 UTC
I would say he has always been a bit moody but not this moody

he does not have a pedigree we had him from a farm (which was not very nice and they were in a terrible mess so my husband not being very intrested in dogs saw him and decided that he could not leave him there which was a shock becuse we did not think he had a heart). I did take him to a lady who has got her own agility equipment and he realy did enjoy it but the lady is moving to france, and i would not like to try taking him to a club as i dont think he would hit it off with the other dogs

if hes working bred hes going to be desparte to do something,hes probaley really bored.
teach him stuff,some dance moves? obedience things (eg some scent work,some retrieve games or different positions in a sequence)

im sure if you could find a agility/flyball club that could help you that would be great,OR you could build your own agilty course in the garden? dosent have to be proper one,just a home made jumps etc.
