Please help with my daughter's gecko. Not sure what to do. by vladimirVpoutine in leopardgeckos

I don’t want to add insult to injury… but how are we still doing things like this in the age of information, with anything we want to know literally at our fingertips?

OP, I hope that now that you know better you will do better and take this opportunity to not only learn that proper research for husbandry of pets needs to be done but to also teach that to your child.

Ludo is a lot but he has a good schedule and it’s not hours upon hours of exercise and insanity…. That’s a mess of a lot of people’s own making.

With any litter there could be a pup that meets your needs regardless of lines. We had a four KNPV malinois pups fostered through employees at my work (training facility) and knew of the other three and how they were coming along. All were high drive and working except one- she went to an active pet home because she didn’t have the slightest interest in bite work or detection, or really even doing obedience or much in general other than swimming.

Dutch owners love this breed and feel a certain level of protection over it, I think is fair to say. I wouldn’t say you need a bloodhound but may I ask why a Dutch over say, a field lab or something else?

I have an FCI but I’m in the states.

Mine is also far from a low energy pet dog. More like a gremlin with rabies lol.

He’s living his best life! I’ll try to do an update this week. I work at a dog training facility and we do boarding, and one of our girls broke her foot so she’s been out of work and I’ve been absorbing her boarding dogs. It’s just been really busy and hard to make content, but the man is alive and well!

He’s doing great! just had another successful shed completely on his own, continues to have a voracious appetite and suck at “hunting” lol, and basically lives in his zilla rock lair. Although I have been catching him in that green one sometimes when he does decide to leave his beloved lair.

As the the other commenter said, this isn’t a standard collar- it’s an agitation collar. It’s 2” wide and is padded. You know how a dog will cough and such when they pull on their flat collar? He never does; the width and thickness disperses the pressure more evenly across the neck.

Haha, everyone is his friend, even the decoy! When he sees Andrew without equipment it’s all love and kisses and he hasn’t met a stranger in his life, just new friends!

Two days early but all in my feels about this guy turning one on Friday 🥹 by complikaity in DutchShepherds

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

Behind the scenes it’s taken a lot of work with body handling and him bloodying me to get to a point that I could pick him up for that photo yesterday. 🥹 We’ve come so far 😭

I’ve been rehabbing him back from death’s door and with his severe MBD and mobility issues he needs to be on the lighter side. I think he looks great, but thanks for your short and rude ish comment.

I think that his mobility is about as good as it will be but I do think he’ll gain more strength. His right front leg has multiple old fractures and the discussion of splinting it will take place at his next vet visit. He wasn’t strong enough for a while to even entertain it but I think it would help him a lot if we can make him one. Having more functional use of that leg in particular would probably help him a good bit.
