Hi, I'm new to the list and have been reading through the archives, which has answered some of my questions, though I still have some more. I have a 8-10 month...

My GSD had bilateral TPO at 6 months of age. He's 2.5 years now, and athletic. Walking / hiking would not be a problem for him. Brix's surgeon was one of the...

It's so disappointing isn't it. I wonder if the hips develiped arthritis because they weren't adjusted to the right angle when they did the tpo? I had a ...

That's a toughie. If he is getting rowdy outside even on leash than I would use a prong collar on him. I kept my girl leashed inside in every room that I went...

Thanks again! We had planned on keeping him crated and that's what we're doing, I was just looking for more things for the front end to do while the back end...
