Dogs are pack animals. There is always a leader. They do not vote on who is to become leader. Leadership is taken by the dominate dog. People are pushing Human traits on dogs all the time. While it may make one feel good to do this. In the end as much as we love them. They are dogs.

Alforddm. Spot on with that last post. The way you described taking the food and why is correct. <br /><br /> __________ Mon Jan 22, 2018 9:54 am __________ <br /><br /> JessicaR no harm no foul. There are many ways to skin a cat. Or train a dog. Myself i like old school no nonsense training...

Jessica R. I am 54 years old have been training dogs since i was a child. I come from a dog family. My Father was a Dog Show Judge. My mother was an Obedience trainer. Who also trained Police Dogs. I have shown dogs since i was a kid. I currently am working on getting our 1.5 year old Rottweiler...

Used to raise Dobermans with my Father when he was alive. Now i am into Rottweilers. What you are describing could lead to big trouble. Your dog thinks he ranks higher than your daughter. Lots of training to do. Easy way to nip this in the bud, is to get an electric collar. Put him on a lead and...

Well 7 kits born to my red doe and broken red buck on Thursday night. Bitter cold out in northern Illinois and all are doing fine. Yippy

Try feeding her some Raspberry leaves. I just lost a litter of 3 due to them being born late also on day 33.

No to being successful with no fall offs. Has your buck been used before? Maybe he is inexperienced? If that is the case use a proven buck. But most of all keep at it.

A method i use to great effect. Is to take the doe, put her back end up to the bucks cage. Let him get a good sniff. Then with the doe facing you, stick her in the cage. You holding her, put one hand under her and lift her up so your buck can get a straight shot at her. This method works and...

My doe is doing fine. Do not know what happened. Bred another doe to the same buck yesterday. Now the wait begins.

Well sad day here. Yesterday the doe was spraying blood. Not Good. Figured she was having problems. It is day 32. Kept an eye on her. Went out last time at 3:00 am this morning no more blood and no kits. Got up around 6:00 am to find she had pulled hair. Checked in the nest box. 3 very large...

There is a secret for your working life. Do what you love and love what you are doing. I don't want to sound mean. But i am a painter. Sometimes i work close to home. Sometimes i work several states away. Being in Chicagoland traffic is always a nightmare. I work in peoples homes mostly and with...

Chicken wire just does not hold up. Try this. https://d2ul0w83gls0j4.cloudfront.net/p ... 608156.jpg. You have to have some sort of store out by you like Farm and Fleet.

Thank You. My other Red New Zealand buck does not mess around ether. I have found it good to let them sniff through the cage a bit. Put them in and let nature take its coarse. But after a couple of minutes. If it is not happening i bring the doe out and let the buck get a good sniff again. I...

I use a Rabbit Hopper. Skin and gut them. Then i pop them in a bucket of ice water. Then bring them inside, clean them up good and then part them out. I then put them in food saver bags and seal. I work quick. So never really have them get stiff. I never leave them whole. Just easier to do it...

I fry my New Zealand's all the time. At 5 lbs which is 10 or 11 weeks old. I dress them and freeze them. Have never had a tough one.

Well i picked him up from a show home several months ago. He is not show able due to broken tail. He won a couple shows and then a judge found his broken tail. Although his sisters and parents have done really well at all the shows. He has been in quarantine since. Well yesterday i decided it...

Check your Face Book Buy and Sell pages for some really cheap Rabbit and dog cages. I see them all the time here in Illinois. Remember the price posted is always negotiable.

Glad you did what you did. Hope she makes a full recovery,

Ether take to vet immediately or cull immediately.

If you want meat rabbits get meat rabbits. Breeding little rabbits to get more meat on them. Just does not make any sense to me. Around here you can get New Zealand's for from around $15.00 -$30.00 show quality more. But show quality does not always translate to meat quality. I breed my Red New...
