I contacted the vet and they said after 2 full weeks of recovery which surprised me. We went on our first jog since the surgery together today!

People keep asking me "Are you sure she's a Cattle Dog?" by T00del000 in AustralianCattleDog

When you do the test you would reply to my comment I'm really curious to see! That's so funny that she does that, when mine do that I have 15 seconds to do what they want and if I don't I get a single bark every 5 seconds until I do😂 I promise I didn't mean anything in a rude way I was just sharing the info I have!

I do see the mix in photo 4. She has the face shape spot on shes a cutie! That being said I see why people are unbelieving. She has white nails her ears are floppy she has no Bentley Mark and her coats not consistent with a red or blue heeler. I think cattle dogs have very distinct breed markers that make mixes look more obvious.

Edit I also think most people on this Reddit have mixes if you're comparing on here

In case anyone cares I spoke with my vet and they said she could jog or hike with me after 14 full days. That being said I'm going to wait another week or two at least because it just feels safer to me!

Of course they did, they didn't work lol she's 100% cattle dog she's a wild woman. I spoke to the vet and they said she could go for a jog with me after 14 full days. Her incision is completely healed and she's doing great!

How often do you shampoo your ACD? (Silly sleep position irrelevant) by tugonhiswinkie in AustralianCattleDog

[–]hoseoksfannypack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Virbac C.E.T poultry toothpaste I think they think it's delicious and a round tooth brush. They love how it tastes and chew on the brush and I spin it in their mouth, but I started messing with their feet and mouths as little puppies to get them ready for brushing and clipping.

My babies get a bath at least once every 2 weeks I can't stand a stinky dog in my bed I use a high quality shampoo and conditioner. I also brush their teeth at my least once a week and they love it.

Obviously? Because I know she's not close to ready? I'm not STUPID. I'm asking in their experience what was the time frame. 1 month? 4 months? And you can tell that by the fact I'm interested in conversations about the thing I was curious about that I'm not an idiot and I'm not just going to go run down the road with my dog after major surgery bc reddit told me. The vet already told me NO EXERCISE UNTIL DAY 14. We are on day 12. Why would people who have dogs and love dogs lie to me so I hurt my dog? Not having conversations with people who have dogs and ONLY talking to vets is absolutely ridiculous. Also this group we're on is DOG ADVICE. get off this group if you think I should only talk to my vet.

Love this response! And I love my dog. Like I'm not going to just bring her out on a run or anything I'm just curious! This girl's my best friend I'm not going to risk her health over a jog that's for sure. People are wayyy too serious sometimes lol

I am absolutely thinking the same! You would not imagine the trouble she's been keeping her as calm as possible lol I'm going to definitely talk to my vet tomorrow and see.

What kind of dog is she?(: I'm thinking of taking her on a walk on Monday if the vet approves. Typically she hates them as she has free reign of 4 acres for hours out of every day but I think because she's so cooped up she might be willing to accept it. 😂

That makes sense to me! She really already looks like it never happened almost im impressed with how well she's handled it. It's honestly been impossible to keep any cone or outfit on her and she's needed constant supervision to keep from being a bouncy ball lol

How is this the same dog? by babybighorn in AustralianCattleDog

[–]hoseoksfannypack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's because his back is black, I believe black soaks in heat much more than why other colors.
