Parley Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Well my dog is inside most of the time and all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 You need to remember that most of us live in Australia, not paradise where you live. Everywhere I have lived in Aus, which is quite a few places in two states, has had barking dogs all over the place. My neighbour is a former policeman and he's got a few stories about the problems they cause, I can tell you. Could be solved eith the stroke of a pen, but the political will's not there. Nope, nothing but the occasional dog bark in my suburb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the countries best farmers market helps, and dogs have never been much of a problem even when I lived in South Aus. What have they done to pommy dogs to stop them barking?

Marisawright Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Do people in Australia keep their dogs out in the garden more or do most people have house dogs the same as us? There's no need to keep dogs inside most of the year - certainly everywhere I've lived in Sydney, people have kept their dogs outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrutineer Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Do people in Australia keep their dogs out in the garden more or do most people have house dogs the same as us? All British people I know in Aus keep their dogs inside and walk them twice a day. Australians view dog ownership slightly differently - buy three blue heelers and dump them in the back yard for the rest of their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has a cosy bed in the garage and she's walked twice a day. I suspect my neighbour would think that cooping Stella up in the house would be cruel, rather than letting her run round a big yard as she pleases.

Guest Ptp113 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Living in the high country certainly has its benefits, and the food at the markets is pretty hard to beat. The biodynamic/organic lamb is beyond belief. http://capitalregionfarmersmarket.com.au/news-events/latest-from-market-morsels/ Penang Curry Pumpkin Pie............. http://www.gumtreepies.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 The dogs round here don't bark much but the ones near our beach house do- horrible little mutts. They are not lonely, there are 2 of them and they bark at their own shadows. Why do people keep dogs if they just leave them outside all the time and ignore them? Actually, why keep the things at all unless you need them for rounding up sheep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Haven't read all the thread, but the backyard dog annoys me, a dog is part of the family, let it share the Ffg house. but is it surprising from a country that still lets puppies and kittens be sold from so called pet shops, got from unscrupulous breeders. makes my blood boil, could not believe it when I moved here. Walked into one store and just burst out crying when I saw them. Then asked the assistant about it, poor animals are left there in all weather conditions, no heating or air con depending on season. australia needs to get a grip on this.....

HappyHeart Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 How many dogs, given the choice, do you think would prefer to live alone, outdoors?? They are social animals, not wild animals, domesticated dogs belong indoors. If you want an outdoor dog I'd question why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Dogs are very sociable animals....I've had dogs all my life and am still surprised by what they understand and how they interact with humans. my dogs are my fur babies, just like my human daughters.

All part of my family:wub: Same here Fifi...I can't comprehend having a dog and making it stay outside, my little baby is snoozing next to me on the couch, I think she know somethings afoot, will miss her heaps when we go away but at least she gets to stay at home this time with our house sitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Some households wouldn't have a choice. If the adults are at work all day and kids are at School then dog needs to be outside when nobody is home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARYROSE02 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Dogs and cats and other pets and vets, dog poo. There's a thing. I wonder if dog poo is worse or better in Oz. Does it smell worse or better? Are the pavements cleaner or dirtier. Do people pick it up more or less? The real thing that is worse in Oz than the UK is traffic lights. Not how many but the colours. Far inferior shade of Amber compared to UK. And plates too. Cups and saucers are OK but not plates. And don't get me started about Aussie salt!
