QUOTE(Pennywise @ Sep 21 2007, 05:43 PM) zeist, I am not kaki terrier, I only love west highland white terriers. I dont know how to love other dogs for now because I think these westie are the best for me. I see, Westie pups are cute too.  How about Silver Silky?  , do you know how much they cost ah?

zeist, please... it is not <dog breed> pups are cute, it is <dog breed> is cute! otherwise we will get hundreds of unwanted adult dogs that are no longer cute  case in point --> Dalmations (no thanks to disney) and pugs (fat adult pugs are an acquired taste compared to the oogly wide eyed puppies) This post has been edited by madmoz: Sep 21 2007, 05:59 PM

Silver Silky? Never heard of it or seen it.
Dont take it seriously when madmoz shares with you some advise ok? I understand how all new dog-lover falls in love with practically every puppy they meet. Just be a responsible owner. We place our faith in you man.
Dont feel pressure. May you enlighten me with a picture of a silver silky?

May you enlighten me with a picture of a silver silky?  I think this is the one, chrisoys's Silky. Alot of people said it is rare in Malaysia. I love the fur. It's ok, I'm cool, already used to it. You weak, you get pwned, that's the fact of life.

Rare or not rare, it does NOT look silver at all to me. It looks like a brown silky. Regardless, I'm no kaki terrier but rather white dog kaki and preferably small dogs.
Brown and black dogs are not my type except for selected few.

zeist, You are not weak and there's not such thing as getting pwned here at Pets Wonderland. It's not Dota! We are all learning from each other so please dont feel discouraged.
If you can find the pict, please show it to me but thing I dont like about Silky is when they are young, extremely adorable and active but when it grows older, the fur is like super long making Silky look super-draggy.

aiks, why would you consider yourself 'weak'? the fact that you are here and willing to learn means that you are well on your way to being a responsible owner! i may sound harsh, but it really is because i've seen too many a dog end up at the dog pound, some no thanks to my own friends  Added on September 22, 2007, 1:57 pmbtw, methinks that silky is not silver either...

This is the one... The one I posted earlier is another Silky, also own by Chrisoys.  This post has been edited by zeist: Sep 22 2007, 06:59 PM

From dog food, now silkies? I think this thread has gone out of topic. Please, discuss silkies in the silky terrier thread.
This is a thread with a poll for kibbles.

I just started the transition to Acana, so far Casper seems to like the smell and taste a lot. He will quickly finish his food. Based on dogfoodanalysis, the contents from Acana is not that great and some are quite negative - now already thinking of a new brand even when I just started opening this pack.
Maybe next time, I will give either Innova, Evanger or Canidae a try. Apparently, from a couple of reviews I read, it seems to be that dogfoodanalysis.com is quite biased. For example, when Acana include chicken fat - it will write about "Research in Purdue University say chicken fat this and that" but it didnt write that for Canidae (i think) when they uses that. It's the same damn thing!!

I would think that Canidae is better than Acana now. I thought opposite previously but then I generally dont like dog food which labels "For all life stages."
Anyway, Casper poo doesnt smell badly BUT, it turns yellowish. I am not sure if I should continue but I will give it a few days more. The day he poo-ed yellowish and greenish is also the day I took him marathon into the hills - maybe that exercise did something to his system.
I will monitor a few days more before deciding on anything drastic.
Anyone of you who is feeding Acana realized that your dog poo aint brown / black anymore?

perhaps he ate grass, that's why poo is green? i too had an aversion to all lifestages food, but on hindsight i think it was a mistake... contents not that much difference between puppy and adult formula, esp for smaller breeds?

I am not feeding my GR arcana, but I do noticed when he is on CN - his poo is yellowish but when he is on orijen, nutriedge and innova - the poo turn brownish. CN kibbles is more yellowish in colour as compared to the other kibbles which are brownish in colour, probably that causes the poo to change colour as well?
