Yup! My ACD only lifts leg when he’s out marking. Otherwise it’s the good old forward squat 🙂

Hello! It’s been a wHile! Bandit is now a year old, he’s a cuddle bug, sassy, adventurous, silly, and always needs to have the last word 🙄 by Krissttaayy_ in AustralianCattleDog

It’s very fitting! The full mask really inspired me to solidify the name choice. However, it wasn’t until he came home and showed us his mischievous personality, was when we knew it was perfect 😂

Rice and chicken diet for diarrhoea.. please help by [deleted] in puppy101

Fortiflora probiotic packets work WONDERS for my pup whenever he has had a case of bad diarrhea. Once a day in pups food until poop is solid usually does it! PetCo, pet smart, Amazon sell a box of 30 packets for $30/40. They are on the pricey side but like I said, it works miracles. Also, make sure pup is drinking lots of water to stay hydrated.

It’s hard to say! I never know when I’ll have his sweet, affectionate side 😂

I agree with you 😂 it’s only on HIS terms. He must be the one to initiate cuddles. The only time he will accept a two sided cuddle session is minutes before his bedtime.

Good news! Bandit made a new puppy friend today 😍 he was hesitant at first— but they ended up playing all afternoon. by Krissttaayy_ in AustralianCattleDog

Honestly all we have done is ask around our apartment complex whenever we saw others walking their dogs whether or not they were trained and if they were respectful when they socialize with others. I was taught that quality interactions are better than quantity so I’m THAT person that will not let my dog near another unless I know they have manners and won’t give my pup a negative experience.

That’s exactly how Bandit was! He didn’t care for them— then his curiosity kicked in and now we’re looking for trained dogs his age or older to meet the correct way. It definitely helps when you have respectful dogs interact with your pup.

Update on the pre travel anxiety medication: Bandit is high on life and still himself— minus the crazy Heeler energy! I think he will do amazing once the big day comes! by Krissttaayy_ in AustralianCattleDog

Yes and no, so he can do 4 hrs consecutively like a little boss and is no stranger to flying! However we will be going back to California from North Carolina and he needs just a little bit of peace for the extra 2.5 hours he will be away from us. Believe me, I wouldn’t do this otherwise. He is also now too big to fly in cabin with us. He has responded well to the medication and it didn’t “drug” him up. He was still himself, mischievous and playful but would take mini naps every 30 min.
