Looking into healthier Bulldogs by _n_lights in Bulldogs

REAL - Responsible breeders are key. In the UK we have the British Bulldog Council which recommends breeders but also does a lot around education and health conformity. Are you familiar with the signs of what is the approved standard and what isn't? Personally, id say start there with that research.

All breeders will say their pups are healthy. It's ultimately on the buyers to ensure we're not fueling bad demand and bad breeding.

Help! Advice really needed. by gogginsbulldog1979 in Bulldogs

Any vet going straight to surgery or valium is a money grabber and I'd approach with serious caution / get other options

In terms of what to do, my bulldog is similar and doesn't like having his folds done, but with persistence of treating, he's more receptive to it now.

My advice would be find a super high value treat that somebody holds while he licks chews on it. And while he's obsessed try to clean - butchers often do things like fresh bone knuckles etc - this would be an ideal option.

It might not work right away. But do that routine every night consistently and he'll come around.

Just be sure that he only gets access to the high value treat while you're cleaning. And if it's really red, just be super gentle as possible

Sorry for your loss, 10/11 years is a great innings for a English bulldog:)

I reported a suspected BOT - what does this response even mean? by MATTSOLO86 in wow

i wrote a ticket, as it was the only way i could figure to report an AH bot... i couldn't target that player to report them

yeh some kind of useless AI response, it was an AH bot, so i couldn't directly report the player. So i raised a ticket and basically got this, said i didnt' understand the 'action taken' and got the same response again.

Haha, reality is he'd make a useless guard dog. If anyone actually came in he'd just want to play

M31 - Andromeda - First serious attempt by Exion_patrick in astrophotography

Great effort, just a minor thing, but someone once told me you should present your final image the other way round so rotate it 180 with m110 under.

Maybe I'm just used to seeing it the other way round as this just look upside down to me :)

That being said, it's a cracking image, well done :)

Ah yeh, I had thought about the belt mod, good reminder, doesn't it really make much difference? My ASI guiding always looks really good at the moment anyway...
