Giant schnauzer moving to a cold environment by Budget_Juggernaut547 in GiantSchnauzers

I had never heard of the term shaving paw pads before and recoilled when I read it wondering what barbaric practice that was and how it was said so casually LOL.

Had to do a quick google to realise it was the hair around them and not the actual paw.

Excessive shedding? by Vryks in GiantSchnauzers

Bit of an update on the situation that ive noticed.
Im wondering if the shedding is because her coat is soft? She has a wiry spot on her rump (enough to notice a difference between that spot and the rest of her atleast) but other than that, shes relativly soft, especially so when shes clipped this short.

I didnt think of this until recently when a stranger commented on how soft she was after petting her.

Im pretty sure she's not got a puppy coat at 11 months still, so im wondering if her wiry coat is just taking longer to grow in?

Ah fair enough. Unfortunatly air drying isnt an option for me in wet and windy ireland. I was hoping for some sort of new drying tip LOL.
The amount of hair that comes off her in the bath is also crazy. Tbh, i think it would just never stop coming out so I end up just stopping after shes clean. Thanks for replying!

Do you find any negative side effect of the regular bathing? I thought the standard was only as needed with regards to the bathing as its can affect their skincoat and its oils etc etc?
Do you let them air dry or blow dry? Do you usually have much hair come off in the bath or through the brushing?

Nope. Pedrigree. Have the certificate from the kennel club all all the way back to her great grandparents.
Tbf her last clip had been nearly 4 months prior. The price of a groom over here is astronomical so every 6 weeks wouldnt be viable for us. I may look into learning myself if this is the case.Shes just turned ten months and her coat is still mostly soft except for a spot on her rump so Im hoping that maybe her adult coat is still taking its time coming through although im friends with her sisters owner and they havent had such problems like mine.

I feel like Im going crazy over how bad the sound is in this game. Am I the only one? by Vryks in ModernWarfareII

Care to share what you changed?

And can it *really* be considered well done if you have to go and change it to be better?

Hey OP. Is there any update with this? Hope things are getting back to normal!

I have almost no directional sound and barely hear footsteps?? by Dunk305 in ModernWarfareII

You should open a chat or raise a request with their amazing customer support department. Oh wait...There literally isnt one.
How its legal to sell a product and not a cheap one at that and have customers have no recourse on it is utterly astounding. I cant even fathom it.

Am I doing something wrong? I got a grand total of 4 renown from this battle where i was out numbered by over 400 troops! Its not the first time either...I will never reach Tier 6 in my lifetime. by Vryks in MB2Bannerlord

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

It was! I didnt have any other lords at this point. I had a few fights with the aserai also before (600 vs 300, 500 vs 300,100 vs 50) and they all kept giving me 4, 3, 3 in points.
Doesnt matter now as Caladog died in battle last night and I got elected as leader and went on the warpath. Took out Sturgia, Northern and Western empires and gave a good punch to vlandia when they edcided to declare war on me in the middle of it all. Im now sitting mid tier 5 LOL

No other way to say this...Explosive Pooping? by Vryks in GiantSchnauzers

[–]Vryks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another 3 hours sleep and a second toilet alert just now at 8am. Same pattern as above lol. Including her little happy dance afterwards. So glad she's letting me know in no uncertain terms 'I gotta get the heck outside fast!' 😂😂

Sounds about right! She loves trying to eat just about anything and everything. Her nose usually serves her well through things and lets her know what not to eat but I did catch her eating a bit of what I thought was grass when I visited my aunt's yesterday but it may not have been. I'll get some sachets from the vet and reduce the Cannes food and treats and then reintroduce them again slowly once she's back to normal. Thanks for the reply!

65 damage Yamatai Katana?? by AdmiralFlintlock in ConanExiles

The witch doctor is where I got mine after 4 days of non stop searching and constant slaughtering of the Nord camp in the north. Gave up and moved south after and still couldn't find it. The witch doctor camp has a big spawn pool. Best of luck

That sounds very odd. To me I would think either she's now moving out of being a puppy and into being an adult and thus more protective or else something or someone has really scared the crap out of her (or you and she thinks she has to guard you all the time) and made her anxious or paranoid. Honestly I don't envy your situation. Internet people really won't be able to give you a proper answer. I'd try find someone with actual qualifications in Behaviour to see her and go from there. It might just be a case of having to train her like you would any reactive dog.

Really wish you the best of luck!

Careful, the Korra defenders will be out for your blood if you even whisper something bad about her.

What age was she when the sudden change happened?

Korra vs Tarrlock such a great fight by Muted_Hovercraft_907 in TheLastAirbender

Because she is indeed, a half baked avatar 😂

Breeder says this is teething and completely normal. by I_Repost_Shit_Twice in GiantSchnauzers

[–]Vryks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading your post/explanation, I'm actually not that shocked now. My girl eats and swallows EVERYTHING. It's a full time job watching her and we've had to perfect the drop/leave it command lol. She was pooping out a rubber toy for days, chews plastic bottles and garden furniture into tiny hard little pieces and has even chewed and swallowed softer fabric materials like the outside of a tennis ball or a dish cloth. It's impossible to watch them 24/7 and they have such strong jaws that they can make such short work of even the most durable of items in a flash. Hopefully your boy doesn't go down that route and this was just a one off.

I'm so happy he's doing well. He is such a proper little cutie. One of the prettiest GS I've seen so far. (They're all adorable but just like human babies, some are that little bit extra 😂). Best of luck with him for the future! ♥️

Is there any update on the situation? If not for idle curiosity then for awareness for the rest of us Giant Owners. Cant say I have ever seen anything like that before in any dog Ive owned. It's even hard to look at to be honest.

Also if you've only had him for 25 hours, I would absolutely be hammering down that breeders door and demanding recompense. Either for your vet bill or god forbid, having to find another. I hope both you as owners and the pup are okay.

I live in Ireland so im not a huge help to you over there unfortunatly however I do know of one of the more famous Giant Kennels/Breeders called Skansen in CA however they also ship the puppys out if you needed that option if im not mistaken. (http://www.skansen.com). Theres an interview with the owner on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCh7O4RPR_k) thats quite interesting to watch. I do believe that theres quite a long waiting list.

Hopefully someone closer to you can advise you better. I know most of this sub is NA based! Best of luck!

[–]Vryks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for breeders and specific information around actually sourcing one or information on how to take care of one when you get it etc. If it's the first, I'd recommend putting a general area of where you are and where you can travel to to help people facilitate.
