A concerned Mum with a young child has arrived at the Bondi clinic with a rescue puppy that she's thinking of adopting. There's only one issue. Sue is worried little Snowy may have pit bull terrier in her breeding and could pose a threat when she's fully grown.
Chris comes up with a solution...cutting edge DNA testing for dogs.
Will Snowy be staying with her new family or heading back to the pound?
Maremma bonding
I am currently trying to bond my 5 month old maremma pup with my chickens. While the coop is a bit too small to put her in with them, she does sit outside the coop and I let them out to free range as often as possible and she is with them. She is very interested in them and will often just sit with them and watch, but I am concerned that sometimes I find her picking them up and even shaking them. She even drags them around with their head in her mouth. I have been concerned several times that the chickens may be killed by her. I have been stopping this behavior as I am concerned that she may kill them and even develop a taste for it. Should I let this over "enthusiastic" behavior continue? Is this bonding? The chickens submit every time and seem quite accepting although I am not sure just how much "enthusiasm" they can take. I only let them out when someone is supervising.
