Diaper solution for heat cycle - Page 3

For the people mocking: why shouldn't people have their dogs with them in the house, as snajper69 says?  And I've known some bitches to have such incredibly heavy flows that they leave quite a mess behind them.  Not all bitches only bleed enough that they can keep themselves clean.  Some really have a voluminous discharge and are difficult to have ANYWHERE for a number of days during their cycle.

First response hit it... a pair of "tighty whities" (mens are fine for a shepherd) you can even put a sanitary napkin in it ... put the tail thru the fly.  Most bitches aren't very botherd by it... best you can just toss it in the laundry.

Never seen it in England  in 60 or more  years or over here in Belgium, I cannot imagine and Dog owner here putting a Nappy on a Dog, In season or not

But then again most Dogs over here live outside the house, 

But even house Dogs as  pets i have never seen it and i have seen a few in my time,

To be honest i wonder how it is the Dogs do not tear them off, by a lot of posts past i do wonder if you folk over there treat your Dogs as if they were Children

Steve

You mean to tell me the Dogs do not try and take them off, it sure is not natural for them not too

Steve

Steve, it will depend on a dog. I have a dog that will not take it off, and I have a dog that will take it off as soon as I am not looking. Dogs are like people, there are somethings that they will accept and something they will not stand by :). Simple solution, they have a choice they can ware it and be by me when in the house, or they not ware it and stay in the crate :). Guess which one they usually will choose :)

Dogs are Not Humans and do not think like a human, it is yourself thinking that way, but i am afraid Dogs are so much unlike humans in every way

For instance you can bring a Dog up from a Pup train it, think the world of it, then say something happens and you have to part with the Dog

That dog will forget you in a heartbeat, if it goes to a good home

Dogs will look to the Human that treats them kindly and who gives them there daily wants, Taking out, Feeding etc, and they soon forget the original Owner

One experince

A friend gave Sold his German Shepherd Dog to another Person

Eight Days later he took over part of the papers he forgot to give the fellow

The Dog he sold only eight days prior, warned him off, he wanted nothing to do with him

Of course Dogs are known as mans best friend and they are, but to the person who cares for them

it is us humans who think differently

It seems our Posts weretogether, i see you have posted again

Steve dogs can be tough to deal with anything :) as long there is a reward for their suffering, there are bitches that bleeding is not an issue, but I have one that is a bleeder like her mama lol hahaha. So that would be the only option if you going to have the dog in the house. :) I owned both dogs that live with me in the house and dogs that live only in a kennel. Usually older dog lives with me in the house it is his rewared for all his hard years of working with me :). When I lived in europe (most of my life) most of my dogs lived only outside, there was never more than one dog in the house. :) So I do know where you coming from.

I will not have that problem with Pup Heidi when she grows up, She will live outside like all the other Dogs i have owned I only today finished her Kennel and Run, where she will live when she comes Christmas

But i have already changed a few things in advance of her growing up and going into season

There is a nother Steel Partition between her and Goran a young Male, with a space of 15'' between her section to his partition, Once her season is over the two partitions can be moved to each other if needs be, so they can have a little play through the bars of the pens

Plus she could aqueeze between the Steel bars until she grows a little so i have put a board along the bottom to stop her getting out at 8 weeks old, also so she has no contact  through the bars with Goran until her Vaccinations are over

What we do not do for these Dogs, the Cost of living is higher, but the cost of Materials has gone through the roof

Steve

Steve I am glad you thinking ahead. You right my statement was wrong dog's are not like humans, and they don't think the same as human, I should say similar, with the concentration on their basic survival instinct, but aren't we human the same? :) We like to think that we higher above the dogs, I choose to disagree. BTW I do own multiply dogs, well I can't say own any more as I have entrusted them in friends, or family. When I am done with my dog (working wise) I usually will entrust my dog in my father, mother, sister, cousin, depends who I feel is the right person for the dog, but trust me in a minute they are back by my side :) when I visit :). They become my dogs once again. I take a lot of time on imprinting my person on my dogs at early age. It usually pays off in the long time. :) I don't know how many had that experience, but I had never own a dog that I wasn't able to imprint on me, obviously I own all my dogs from puppy hood, as well I prefer get them at about 6-7 weeks of age (I know some of you don't think that’s good time, but I do disagree)
