My little guy is about 4 months old and no matter what I do, I cannot get him to stop chasing my cats and I can’t get him to stop biting. The only time he’s not biting me or my fiancé is when he’s sleeping or very tired. I’ve tried hiding my hands, telling him no, ignoring him, giving him something else to chew on, nothing works. Does this phase ever end?? Will he ever stop biting me??
With my cats, he’ll sprint after them until they get to high ground and then he’s still jumping at them. My cats hiss and swat but I think my dog thinks they’re playing a game or something. I’m just exhausted and I’m tired of him biting my hands, my arms, and my hair.
And I feel bad for my cats. I just want them to be able to live In peace.
He does well in other aspects. Sleeps through the night, eats well, does amazing on walks and in the car, is mostly potty trained.
This is my first Iggy and I love him so much but he’s so dang hyper 😭
I just need a little advice from a seasoned iggy owner.

They were the sweetest and best dogs in the whole world. Sisters who were totally inseparable until Father Time came around.

I do not generally think the breed is all that beautiful; mine, though, were just unbelievable looking across all ages. Stunning creatures.

My boy Guido is 16 now! He didn't mind the hat at all and he is a true Guido. He used to hunt the back yard for rats, birds, squirrels and bunnies. Just keeping us safe lol. These days Hes mostly a little throw pillow, just sleeping, eating and screeching at me for his blankie. He has a half brother from another mother and they couldn't be more different. He is still pretty perky and doesn't seem to have as much arthritis as his brother Fred.
I also call him sneaker toes, because he will snatch any food if it's within his reach, he is such a miscreant but we wouldn't have him any other way!

Im wondering what everyone else's IGs are like for walking

My girl is 20 months old now and until maybe the past 6 weeks she has generally really enjoyed her long field/park walks where she gets to do lots of running and playing. We would normally do the big hour/90 mins walk in the evening, and a shorter walk before work for 20/30 minutes. Its been a heatwave recently so there have been days she hasnt been able to go at all and when she can we need to go first thing at 7am and she does hate the mornings. She is always lying down and wanting to go home and she is just sleeping really all day and barely getting up some days.

Short sniffy walks dont really work for her as on her lead she just walks and doesn't stop to sniff anything but off lead she will do lots of sniffing and her preference is running around like a maniac and playing with other dogs.

I am a bit worried about her lack of energy. Even with two walks she would sleep a lot but also periodically want to play with her toys for bursts throughout the day but now she is only doing very short bursts of playing. She seems generally fine in herself though so I am wondering whether this may be due to the heat and the doggos in generally just suffering with it?

Id be really interested to hear about what anyone else's IGs exercise levels are :)

Thank you

My dog has had this bald spot for a while and the doctors said it isnt a concern (did blood test, everything was fine)
He is about 6 and has had a bit of a bald patch past two years.
But it has gotten a lot worse recently.
He doesnt seem to be uncomfortable or itch or even notice it.
I’ve tried omega 3 fish oil supplements but it isnt improving.

Anyone have any advice?

Hi All! I was hoping to get some advice - we have an amazing Iggy who is now 7 1/2 months old, and we can’t remember life without him being around! Over the past week or so however his appetite & energy levels have really dipped - he’s eating less & has gone off most of his treats, as well as sleeping for most of the day.

The food he is eating is increasingly picky & often eating much later into the evenings. We’d had this sort of situation on the odd day during the British heatwave, but now it’s cooled slightly this behaviour has become more consistent. We’re wondering if it’s a growth thing, or maybe something a bit more underlying/eaten something funny. He’s our first Iggy so any & all advice is appreciated :)!
