    China don't like us because we called them out so they are punishing us in a number of ways

    The best thing to bring China to their knees is for the world to stop buying their products - they would be bankrupt in 12 months and at the mercy of the world

    Trouble is they import a lot of raw materials from around the world and all Governments can see is sales to China and lots of profit

    My son owns 2 Queensland Healers, many people don't know the heritage of the dogs, there is our native dog, the Dingo in the blood line of the Healers

    Here is a pic of my sons 2 Healers. Unfortunately the Blue went blind about 3 years ago, very suddenly, he was one funny dog. He has S.A.R.D.S. (Sudden Aquired Retinal Dysfunction Syndrome), it can be common in Healers. The Red has a bit more Dingo than normal in him, he really should have been on a farm working, not be a pet, he loves to nip the heals of other dogs, my son calls him 'Sniper', although he is a lovely dog

    At least the last six times I've come this way heading west the wing was HOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWLING right in my face.

    Today we're going east, and guess which way the HOWL is??

    nearing the end of summer here, it has been a milder summer than normal, higher rainfall and more thunderstorms than normal.

    I hate the heat so it suits me fine. Where I live it can get to 40 - 45c (104f to 113f)

    What's your take on Kelpies.

    Noticed this pup on an adoption place last night.
    Adopt Linkin on Petfinder

    No, but I have been in the past. Maybe it’s a FLASHBACK!

    That link took me to a Malamute

    the general consensus here is that Kelpies are a working dog and not so good as a pet, but every dog is different and lot depends on the owner putting in the time to train

    This is an Australian Kelpie - Australian Kelpie Dog Breed Information & Pictures – Dogtime - scroll down and read what they are rated, particularly around other people and kids
