Yes, it's a problem, but many of these youths are born in Australia.

Found out today that our Bully girl, Pete (now 16 months old) has a couple of heart issues; Mitral valve dysplasia & sub-aortic stenosis. Common problems with the breed.

We were hoping to breed from her, which is why we had the tests (ultrasound) done. We obviously won't be now... it's a pity that some people still do breed with dogs that carry these genes.

We have to really keep an eye on her weight & general health big time, she could make double figures if we're lucky.

Standing in my friend's driveway Friday night with the police waiting for the coroner to come & take his body :cry:

My brother found him after going to check on him after hadn't been responding to texts or answering phone.

Was an alcoholic. 53 years old. Died sitting up in bed with tv still on sometime during the week before. He's from Switzerland so no family here, was on holidays from work so the poor guy was just lying there dead waiting to be found.
