lol. Limie, GPs have the average lifespan of 4-6 years. there is a record of a GP living at 14 years old.

@xiong: My ladies are not nice to each other. I think my Micheri would love to socialize but Kiki and Girl Girl aren't interested. There are a few times that when I try introducing them, they'll be nice for a while, then Kiki will chase Micheri around and a few times pulled off some hair from Micheri. Thus Kiki's mouth will be holding a lot of hair like you describe. Micheri also got bitten from Girl Girl before. She ran under the table, Girl Girl gave chase, and by the time I grabbed Micheri, she was bleeding. Sigh...

My girls all used to live together and groom each other and do what GPs do together. Since we separated them for lice and mites treatment, they never mixed again. So they lived totally separate lives for 1.5 years already. sigh...

14yrs old...

ohoh cool..~ wonder how to make that?

i heard mostly their lifespan around 1-2yrs...

mayb because of the food we gave, not nature but manufactured food...

only when it is meal time they will come closer...

try to bond with them more nor, when they born can start bonding with them de, touching them, smooth talking to them.. carry them.. pro long period they will bond to u, but if urs adult. Then hard to say de.

Thats why whenever i got babies, i bond them asap.

ALL ANIMAL IS THE SAME!!!

Hi ^MochI^

Wan ask y gp bites? coz lonely?

Gps bite because they are scared, because they feel threatened, because they're acting dominant, because you made them feel uncomfortable.

They nibble to taste and for play.

And yesh they just become so nice when it's feeding time. Otherwise can't really be bothered with you. Other times they'll follow you like a puppy. When I let Micheri out for walks, sometimes she climbs into my lap.

gp seldom bite as i knw...they really bite thn felt unsecure....

jamien~~ u got msn o not???Add me...ah_tor@hotmail.com

My pregnant Sheltie GP gave birth 3 babies yesterday, only one survived (which was resuscitated by me). The mother does not know what to do. When I found out the 2 already dead. And this tiny one still moving, wet and cold. I cleaned her nose and dried her up. And put back to her mother. The one survived is weak and very tiny. At first she does not know how to suck milk from her mother. I have to use syringe to feed her water, and hand feed her alfafa. Not sure how long she could survive, as she does not know how to eat by herself.

Here is the picture of the baby. It is a mixed Abby-Sheltie. It's fur looks more like a Sheltie, no rosette swirl.

Lesson learned was never overfed the pregnant GP. My pregnant GP is too obese. Initially I thought she was pregnant in Sept. Waited for 2 months still no babies. And the babies only came out Dec 3. As she was fat (obese) that caused her developed pregnancy toxemia. Pregnancy toxemia is a serious condition that usually occurs in overweight sows in their first or second pregnancy. Signs are most likely to be noted over 1-5 days during the last 2 weeks of pregnancy or the first week following birth. These include inappetence, depression, weakness, reluctance to move, incoordination, difficulty breathing, coma and death. Some afflicted sows may show no signs and suddenly die.

There is no single cause for this condition, but stress and obesity are major predisposing factors. Others include advancing age, lack of exercise, fasting just before the onset of signs, and a large number of developing fetuses. The fundamental underlying problem appears to be inadequate blood flow to the pregnant uterus.

Sows showing any of these signs must be seen immediately by a veterinarian. Because treatment is often unsuccessful, prevention of pregnancy toxemia is of paramount importance. Pregnant sows should not be allowed to become obese.
