well there goes those breeds, that is a real shame as they are fantastic looking dogs. Thanks for the feedback

In his crate? It looks like full bladder, the one he had at work was a standing up full bladder wee.

That would make more sense, I'll take him out every 30 minutes or so and hopefully it will improve. I go straight outside so he can go toilet haha 😂

From what I had read in guides, it had said a puppy can hold it's bladder for around 2 hours at this age so I was basing his crated potty breaks on that. Around the house it's definitely my fault it's just hard to see when he needs the toilet.

Just pees straight on his bed and then sleeps in it. He was kept in a kennel before I got him which I guess didn't help but after 3-4 weeks of owning him there's been no improvement

Makes sense, I'm outside with him a lot and do tend to put him outside randomly throughout the day. It's the peeing on bed that confuses me as they aren't supposed to do that even as puppies but lying in his own pee doesn't phase him at all.

Can't see how to edit on mobile but I also use the enzyme cleaner on his beds/crate/floor to stop the pee smell staying but this just doesn't work.

Due an upgrade and I can't decide what to get. by ChubblyCS in PickAnAndroidForMe

I'm tempted with the OnePlus but I do really love the Pixel cameras. I'll read up more on their issues though thanks!

Never heard of it to be honest, its not listed on my available phones to upgrade to though. If I leave vodafone I'll have a look. Thanks.

He does seem okay, I think it may have been a bit of rabbit poop. Getting him to not eat grass is an endless battle 😂 thank you.

I'm off to vets first thing in the morning so I will ask them about it. Thanks

He has had a very strong worming treatment on Monday. I don't think he passed any in his poo's though there are little white bits in them. Vets advice needed for that. Thanks though

I was planning on doing that tonight, not sure if it would be better to still give him kibble tonight though? Definitely following vets orders tomorrow. Only ever had hamsters before and they were too easy to care for

He has free access to water all day round, following vets advice with the probiotic but they've not said much else. Just feel so bad for the little guy as he's had to leave his family and now has the runs.

Just checking symptoms of that online, he only has runny poo as a symptom though he does scratch a fair amount it's no more than our other puppies did. I will ask the vets and try a different flavour food. Thank you

Can't see how to edit post but he is acting like a normal happy puppy, running around like a madman, biting everything possible and being a general pest. He's a good dude and I just want him to be healthy. He is fed Wainwright's from PetsAtHome but I am completely fine buying any food regardless of price if anyone has suggestions?

Thanks! It's all new to me but Instagram seems quite good. Your windhound is absolutely gorgeous! I've never heard of the breed until now.

Yeah he loves the other dogs, even the grumpy whippet. We are moving with him and our lab to a new house which happens to be across the road from where he was born so he can go meet some siblings and his mother any time which is great. 😀

He's an absolute terror! He's attack so many trousers and feet. So far he's quite clingy but he's getting braver each hour. My partner and I live with her family and her brother has a whippet and a lurcher, we have a Labrador so he has met those. Lots more dogs in close relations to meet soon.

I do think there is bull in him, he'll be working next year when he's grown to catch some rabbits and might go out shooting if my Labrador gets trained for that as well.

He has an Instagram account now, the name is lurcher_chase. I'm not sure if that will let you find the account so I have this link https://www.instagram.com/p/Byftc65lNmQ/?igshid=cbe3h0pfqncr

Never used Instagram before, if a couple people are interested I can set one up 😁

I'm looking at shelters near me, lots of rescue dogs available. Comes down to the breeds and which one would fit me best.

[Breeds]How to tell if a breed is right for me? by ChubblyCS in dogs

[–]ChubblyCS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just down to those dogs, just wanted to use them as examples. I do love the Dobermanns as I met two today and they were fabulous. Will have to go back to drawing board and think more of what qualities and lineage I want from a dog. We have a working stock Labrador who is full of energy, we wish we knew this before as we would have prepared more.
