paid in dog

**ronan the barbarian** · 05-15-2007, 02:38 PM

i did a small plastering job last week and half way through the owner came back and asked me to stop cus he didnt have the money to pay me.
was really pissed off cus it was someone my girlfriend knows and i gave him a good price.
we got chatting and he said if i finished the room i could have one of his doberman puppies,i know there about £600 quid for a pedegree like his so i thought sod it.
but its gonna be f*ckin massive.
heres a pic at 6weeks cant even have his injections yet so it just sits in the house shittin.lol

why would that be illegal?

**Lexed** · 05-16-2007, 12:13 PM

thats a good deal man cause the dog will never betray you or backstab you

if its a working dog its still legal,and shes still young enough.but it distresses the dog and takes over a month to heal,

they cut the ears to shape,tape them up and force a membrain to grow where the scar is to keep the ears upright,and this all takes 30 to 40 days to heal.

looks good but is a bit barbaric,wouldnt mind if it was done before i had it.lol

**FranKieC** · 05-16-2007, 03:58 PM

Damn look at his Paws! He is going to be Huge!

YES ! I LOVE DOBIES! to keep him from shittin all over the place you need to keep him in a kennel just the right size. a dog usually wont shit where it has to sleep. after the dog has been in the kennel for awhile and you know he has probably got to piss and/or sheawt let him out and take him outside Immediately. when he pisses or shits give him praise. keep me posted with pics. I have two of them . they were in my wedding wearing a tuxedo! im gonna post pics soon. BEAUTIFUL DOG!

DUDE, YOU GOTTA GET HIS EARS CLIPPED! you will be really happy you did later. they put the dog out so they dont feel a thing during the procedure. ya it looks good for sure, but it is also functional. it allows them to use their ears to deflect sound into their ear canal so they can hear better. this will make him a better watch dog.

Beautiful Pup Congrats Bro

Start obedience training now already. Did it with my German Shep Puppy from 6 weeks. When you feed him he will go nuts for the first couple of months, but hold his bum down and other hand on his chest. Say Sit (while he is going ape sh*t in you hands) the say fetch and let him go. Praise him while he is eating. After a couple of months he will do it on his own. Also make sure you dig around in his food while he is eating, this way he will get used to someone around and wont bite a kid when they come close to him while he is eating. Once again congrats and enjoy him, you wont believe how attached you get and distressed you get when he is ill. Hope the advice helps.
Cheers
B

I find a marinade is best used on wild vs. domestic stock.. but that's just my preference...

**ronan the barbarian** · 05-20-2007, 01:20 PM

thanks for all the advice everyone,

she did have worms,uk pups are born with it.it was like live spaghetti comin out her arse.lol.but shes doin ace now.

took it to the vet for a once over and its first injection.apparently cus its a healthy and gonna be very big she could have her first shot at only 7 weeks.

some advice the vet did give me which i didnt know is;

if your puppy is gonna be a large dog(rotty,dobe,great dane.etc) you shouldnt give them normal puppy/dog food cus it contains too much calcium and makes them grow too quickly causing serious joint probs.

oh and iv called her 'MISHKA'

oh and vet said i could have the dog taken from me if it has its ears docked and it gets reported,she even bollocked me about her tail.lol.but she was born before 16 april 2007 so i was ok.lol
