skippies (like MANY breeds) are an aquired taste... i personally think chinese crested are stunning, affenpincher are adorable and labs are boring...someone else might think labs are the most beautifl dogs in the world and cresties some ugly gremlines fomr another planet (though i will admit...

im definalty more and more drawn to the corso with eveyrthing i read. ive also been looking into the boerboel but they seem even harder to find a GOOD breeder of than good corsi lol, i definatly think the working mastifs are gonna be the way to go for me, i love the mastif personality, im seeing...

id have to say if you like poodles but dont want such extensive grooming look into the powderpuff chinese crested, youll have to comb out and sani trim but the puffers are pretty easy upkeep even in full coat. (and even low-little shedding) typically outgoing, eager to please and incredibly...

it could also be a sensitivitly to certain meat sources...if chicken and pork tend to be the hardest, if doing raw pick 1 meat and use only that protein source for at least a few weeks...if you tred chicken last time it might be worth trying turkey or rabbit this time...she may be sensitive to...

from my reserch ambulldogs were origionally bred to be all around farm/ranch dogs. i dont think id ever use them as a LGD because they bond so strongly with their people i think isolating them to bond with the flock would be detrimental to their mental well being, there also not exactly built...

Im assuming RO is actually water treated through a reverse osmosis filter rather than real ocean salt water... in which case i belive the op has it spot on in there salt levels got scrwede when they mixed the water change water. op, welcome to the salty world, and dont be too hard on yourself...

yup those are the ones, dont use the corner clips though, not stable enough and easily chewed, go with cable ties...easily replaced if they do get chewed on and ALOT sturdier look for the ones that arnt brightly colored...ive never had a problem with chewing of the cube walls themselves unless...

good point holly... if your adding salt water at every water change your going to mass overdo your salt levels... top offs should be fresh water unless your salinity is low.

remove everything that is dead or looks to be dying... you can try to save dyeing items by putting them in a hospital tank, they may not survivie but at least in a hopsital tank they wont effect the tank paremeters and you can start trying to save the tank. if your salinity is too high add...
