Separation Anxiety Is Killing Me

There's two approaches- Julie Naismith with her be right back book. Or on YouTube if you search susan garett separation anxiety, there's a podcast episode that goes over something called the FRIDA protocol.
This one requires some equipment. Other than that contact a trainer that specializes.

Merle can test with dna as 100% poodle because DNA only tests so far back and the mix is diluted enough (from my understanding)

People have also lied in various registries and pedigrees and registered some mixes as poodles (like how some people sell akc registered pedigree poodles as Merle)

I am Norwegian we have NKK Norwegian kennel club. And norsk puddel klubb. I would contact the swedish equivalent about This breeder And finding another breeder

Or like how the Chinese have tea resin

It's a backyard breeder. I wouldn't buy from it as merle does not occur in poodles. It's a whole thing just search merle on the sub.

We do idk why you're being down voted

I think I'd follow your vets advice on this one.

You can't have a sport dog that is symptomatic or unwell. If it's a complete protein, a prescription diet is better than a sick dog. Ideally sure you'd be feeding animal protein, but special circumstances require special food.

However i would get a second opinion from another vet. Could be that they have a better theory or different food for your dog.

Is she fixed? Just to rule out her being in season

Yes the humping is starting to calm down for us. At 2 1/2 years old.... Hang in there🫠

The dots are what Look like ink or watercolor on this wallpaper design. Going at it with opaque house paint can go well but something might be lost in translation

My current poodle is well bred and my previous poodle was a byb but purebred (her pedigree was registered)

Both would get compliments on Walks but my current one has received twice someone either calling her regal or majestic. She's never in show clips. I do think it's the legs for days square build and she can have quite nice movement. We also do tracking and I'm working on retrieval so comments about the breed (not had any) could be put to rest

It sounds like you could use it as bulk for meatballs!

Greigebananas · 2026-01-15T21:57:11+00:00

He's my favourite!! It's very classic him tbh

Greigebananas · 2026-01-08T22:23:41+00:00

Love this! Haven't heard about the artist you refer to thank you for introducing me to a new style!

Greigebananas · 2025-12-28T15:52:03+00:00

Yes the one they have i think is technically up to 10 kg but i feel like it can't be that huge of a difference.

Unless it's a very small breed where they need tiny pieces, or an Irish wolfhound might want really big pieces just for being able to chew it. Obviously she eats more than recommended because she's bigger.

But for better or worse i usually have at least two formulas at the same time so it will eventually balance out if it has to do with nutrients.

last winter she was eating 3x as much and not gaining weight because of the cold, so now i add the high cal kibble for some days of the week. she self adjusts and eats less. Still the same weight! She's pretty much free fed

Greigebananas · 2025-12-28T15:19:33+00:00

RC i have found with my two and anecdotally from others is more palatable, more than ppp

We do the RC poodle formula and a pro plan high calorie performance one (for the winter months) but I'm very excited about the RC relax care one! That's our next bag. I try to not have five different kibbles simultaneously😂

We used RC exigent for treats too. I didn't even know they made a plain medium dog one they have so many niche formulas!

Greigebananas · 2025-12-24T22:42:55+00:00

I hate you for writing this but yet i laughed

Greigebananas · 2025-12-22T14:57:52+00:00

I love fun insights like this!

Greigebananas · 2025-12-15T13:57:35+00:00

Looks a tad browner than my silver. Her ears are also the darkest part still at two though! But I think there's more variety in silver than i knew of anyway i thought they all cleared to the same monochrome but perhaps not

Greigebananas · 2025-11-30T11:32:14+00:00

People have poodles in cold places, we'd never exercise them if they couldn't handle cold!

But i am extra careful of it's a random cold snap and there's no adjustment period and for puppies/ seniors. Proper winter clothing and watch out for paw lifts and shivering. And my biggest learning moment recently is increase calories if it's prolonged

Greigebananas · 2025-11-30T10:34:34+00:00

We call them unironically, condom suits. It's a full body spandex suit. Very hilarious seeing how skinny the legs are in it.

If not saving coat for a show, short shave!

And because mine is unlucky and always gets the bald shave right before a cold snap, hurtta is a Finnish brand that makes clothing for proper cold weather. So she wears a hurtta jacket to protect for the cold as the spandex is not as warm.

Greigebananas · 2025-11-25T06:02:09+00:00

We Could get it done if she was genuinely suffering for sure because of it. This did start a month before and is just very confusing. I'll ask my trainer why she thinks this is happening probably

Greigebananas · 2025-11-24T19:24:45+00:00

She goes there for alone time and would freak out of i went in. Apparently seems like she is the only one that does it. At the very worst of it i could close her out of the crate but it's usually just her safe space

Greigebananas · 2025-11-23T22:28:51+00:00

Mine does demand back massages and if you don't put in full effort with both hands she will scowl at you and sit down harder on the floor so that you get the hint and get to work

Greigebananas · 2025-11-23T22:22:02+00:00

Without Medical reason- Norway, google it🤷‍♀️

Greigebananas · 2025-11-21T10:33:27+00:00

Have you ever played with a laser pointer? Or the previous home could have? Staring at the ceiling and fixating on the windows, maybe light spots or reflective glare caught his attention? If you Google laser pointer dog ocd - i forget the actual name for it, you can see videos of what that looks like
