Thanks everyone. He really is a DREAM of a puppy, has a wonderful temperament, easy to live with, very affectionate etc. Here he is with my other two dogs - Reilly is the sable boy, Ebony is the tri girl :)

Noah is now 6 months old! Here are some very recent photos :)

It's going to be hard for you to balance that diet. You do need to add a calcium source, and you do need to add the same nutrients that offal/liver provides.

Testosterone doesn't dictate those aspects of a dog's temperament, they are inherent in your breed. All it will do is potentially decrease dog to dog aggression and his interest in in-season bitches.

No, do not give a dog that could have MDR1 invermectin products. When you have options, is it really worth risking death?

It's really not time consuming after you figure things out initially :) It's a matter of reaching into the freezer to take out a portion and dump it in the bowl :)

I think that depends on how different the two strains are AND whether the vaccinations are updated to cover the new strains anyway. In the case of parvo - vaccinations weren't 'updated' to include the new strain anyway. If the two strains are similar enough in structure some seem to believe...

I'm not sure but I don't think you can titer test for Bordatella. I don't think everyone really understands how titer tests work because I don't think many of us truly understand how the immune system works, maybe there just isn't enough information and too many vets are clueless about it. One...

I wouldn't be giving any ivermectin products to a herding breed. The daily tabs are actually the safest heartworm product, but MUST be given daily and never missed.

The breed I already have - Collie Rough. I really still don't think there is any breed that can top the look of a gorgeous sable or blue merle Collie :) I also LOVE Salukis, Long haired Weimaraners, Borzois, Malamutes, or a long haired GSD.

Australia :) It's amazing what he's been called when we've gone out to socialise him - a husky, aussie shepherd, border collie, bitsa...you name it!

Thanks, he's pretty amazing to me :)

Some photos of my very special pup Noah - he's 12 weeks old tomorrow.

I don't see why it's shallow. I specifically wanted a blue merle this time around as I already have a sable and tricolour. It's only stupid if you deliberately choose a pup that's wrong for you just because it's that colour - this is a very different thing than setting out from the beginning...

Oops I didn't mean Parvo in the house....I mean there's been a small outbreak in the immediate area and so I have to be quite careful where I take him. I've only had him since Sunday. I was surprised at his reaction to the other dog because he has seemed so confident with everything else...
