Woodhead News




WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE FEBRUARY 2002

"No news is good news", but not this time...

 The reason I have not been updating my page since February 2002  until November 2003,  is that I have had the worst time in my life as a dog owner and a breeder.

I have lost three very special and deeply beloved bassets because of bloat (torsion): Obelix van Hollandheim, his son Rambo Dominik and my little girl Woodhead Just Joy.  This has been a very difficult time for me and I was very near to quit...

I'm trying to go on and every day without that beast (=bloat) is bringing back the joy of having these lovely friends. I have changed my dogs diet,  I'm giving them a food which is planned to prevent bloat. It does not swell at all  and because it is very nourishing, their portions are half of  what I gave them earlier.  I really hope that this will help...

If You have any experience of this terrible sickness, I would be very grateful to be informed. Together we can maybe beat this monster...
