That would have been a very morbidly injured if not dead pitbull if it had a go at my boys. Hate to say it, but I always have a pocket knife with me on walks for this very reason. I never want to hurt a dog but if it's my dog or their dog, it's going to be my dog. Sorry this happened to you...

I've added more pictures to the photobucket for your viewing pleasure. Even one of Henry with his buddy Watson.

Yeah I would agree with that. Two has been much easier than one actually. Henry would get a bit bored before unless we exercised him at least 2 or 3 times a day. Stanley has been a very welcome addition.

Hello, So as some of you may remember from my last post, Henry's half brother made his way into the family and I thought you all might appreciate an update and some more pics. They both got neutered and had their rear dew claws removed, so it has been a long couple of weeks but they recovered...

I would say of the people who comment when we walk by (which is a lot), about 55% say "look it's a mini Lassie!", 20% say "he looks like a little fox!", and the remaining 25% ask "is that a miniature collie?". I've almost got an auto response to the last one now, I don't even mean to say it but...

Yeah they share the same father, but Stanley's mother is Henry's mother's mother lol. Henry is at the tail end of 10 months and Stanley is at the beginning of 10 months, they're 3 weeks apart.

So we had some good fortune come our way and were able to adopt a new roommate and lifelong pal for Henry (and us). He is both Henry's younger brother by 3 weeks and his uncle at the same time so there is an interesting family dynamic there, but it doesn't seem to be awkward between them...

I always have a folding knife on walks for that very scenario. I love dogs and never want to kill one, but if a large dog has Henry, i'll dispatch it very quickly. Luckily, the worst encounter I've had was with a small white dog going after Henry and I just gave him a poke to the side and a...

How did they get arthritis if you don't mind me asking? Henry loves to run and I try to not let him go too much because he's still under a year old and I don't want his growth plates to be affected. Arthritis worries me.

Is two! So we have been given the chance to adopt Henry's brother from another mother (literally) and we are quite excited. He is a month younger than Henry and was held for the breeders friend but it fell through so he has been living with the breeder. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice...

Some good info here thanks everyone. Now, my girlfriend is a masters student in biochemistry and her supervisor has a PhD in the field and lipids are their primary study. I mention this because she informed me that any of the omega 3 oils like salmon, krill, etc. oxidize once they're changed...

Hello all, My girlfriend and I are new to shelties. We have a 9 month old sable named Henry and he's quite the dog. Very smart, stubborn, playful, and outspoken. Will lick your face off. Joined this forum to make sure we're doing everything right. Not sure how to add pictures from my phone but...

Hey all, I'm new here and my search didn't really yield the information I want. I have a 9 month old and I want to get him on a good omega 3 supplement. I kind of want to stay away from salmon based oils and I've been reading about phytoplankton, but as you probably all know, everything I've...
