Is it worth contacting RSPCA?

We have two living in our road and they are father and son....beaautiful dogs with a lovely temperament. I also have a friend in Victoria who owns one.

I live in rural NW Tassie. I had to put the notice in the paper and anyone living within 200 metres could object. No one did and the dog man came and inspected our set up which is a combination of grassed and paved areas as well as weatherproof shelter. That was it. Then all you have to do is keep your kennel licence renewed annually and register your dogs, both with the local council. Some councils are stricter than others.

Why are you getting upset and bagging out the forum? You made some statements, asked for opinions and now you don't like the responses. If you don't want other people's input, don't invite it, end of story.

Sadly today's scan showed that unless she is hiding a couple under her ribcage, there will be no puppies for Maya this year. A bit frustrating as we did all the prog testing and semen testing routines and everything looked fine. We will try again in 2013.

Spreyton near Devonport, Pockets.

I get mine from the local Pet Warehouse. I have an Advance Breeders card which one of the local Advance ambassadors helped me get as i had no luck getting a reply on the Advance website. I get the 20 kg bag for $97. I buy them 4 to 6 at a time so I don't run out as we go through a bag every week. :)

Afghans....the way they just seem to float. And maltese just because. :)

When my girl had mastitis I used heat packs and then cabbage leaves then gently hand stripped the affected boob. The stuff that came out was very pus-y but we got it clear and the pups were able to feed from her again. Hope your girl is ok.

Fingers also crossed, flatcoat puppies due 12 November. Scan on October 8.

Where does it show who got the challenges and breed? Or if they are not there does that mean that part hasn't been judged yet??

I have sent puppies between 8 and 9 weeks within Australia. They have all been fine. :)

We will hopefully be having babies about the same time. Maya was mated Monday on day 11.

Love their heads and expressions. Good picks!!

My girls are separated from the boys once they come in season. I use prog testing to guide me as to when to put them together again but they would only be together for the mating and then separated again. The boys would get too worked up otherwise and they would hassle the bitches too much.
