i got my numbers back the other day but there was nothing else saying how many dogs in each group

thank you all for your advice. to all who dont know she didnt buy this pup for breeding she bought it cuase she wanted a four legged family member .she has decided to go fiar trade and i hope she wins .she has booked zena in for desexing and for the repiars on her hernias and is working on zenas feed to help her bones so she is trying to do the right thing for zena. she doesnt want to put her to sleep just becuase her leg is bowed. to everyone that has offered some good advice i thank you.

im sure she would be mrs rusty bucket . i will be going to see and meet miss 20 something on thursday just so i can see for myself first hand . i will let her know and see if she would like to do it.

the lady has rang a couple of vets one has siad $700 another $500 for the desexing and the correction of the hernias her last post on my facebook was saying thank you to everyone for their help. the vet will give her details for anyone that wants to help. sorry i cant be more knowleble about it all i just thuoght i could get some advice besides my own knowledge to help this family. yes it has tuoght her a very hard lesson about cross breeds and byb.

from what the lady told me the pup is 6 to 8 weeks old thats all i know. i asked her if she saw or meet the parents and no she didnt so she doesnt even know what the temperament of the pup will be like.

worse luck she paid cash and didnt think of reciept as i siad she is young in her early twentys so still has not fully learnt about people like this.

yes i agree. the lady has only had the pup since friday. she has been told by her vet that they would give details for people that would like to help which is good.thank you for the advice thuogh .it will be a long process for them but im sure they will get thruogh and zena will have a very happy life with them.

Hi all thanks for reading. before I start please let me say this pup is not mine i am trying to help this lady and her family who are very upset about it all and the lady in question is young and didnt know better.also i understand that some will say why by a cross breed but please if you can help it would be appreciated greatly. ok a lady ive been talking to in the last couple of days buoght herself a sharpei x staffy pup not knowing anything better until this event that you should research before you buy. anyway long story sort of cut short she paid for the pup was told where to pick it up from, arrived at the huse the people went into another room and bruoght the pup out to her she took the pup not noticing anything wrong until she got home. the pup had two lumps under its belly and when she tried to walk she was limping on her front let. the next day she took the pup to the vets and the vet informed her that the lumps where hernias both able to be operated on but the leg was bowed badly. the lady contacted the people she buoght the pup from telling them what was wrong and they had a go at her telling her not to harrass them. she rang the rspca and the local police but was told they could not do anything as it was a civil matter. anyway they have been told it will cost with desexing $700 dollars now of course this girl cannot afford this with a young child and all . she knew that in the pups life there would be costs but was not expecting them striaght away. she did not recieve a reciept or vacc cert .she received nothing but a slam in the door. i do have photos of the pup as i asked her if i could copy and paste for anyone that might be interseted in helping this young pup and her family out. i have also told her to go to the fiar trade which i hope they can help her. can anyone please advice whatelse the young girl can do to help zena is there any way anyone knows on how they can riase the funds to help zena live a better life? thank you to anyone in advance for any info you may be able to give.

thanks for that yeah im booked in for the champ show in march was just hoping to get info before then as it is hard to find anyone up around this way

Hi jsut wondering if there was anyone here that lived or knows of someone that lives near hamilton vic who knows anything about schnauzers as ive got two giants and having hassles finding a good person who can teach me the right way to groom and strip their coats. have asked breeders but they live in another state so very hard for them to show me. please if you like you can pm me. thank you in advance

hi marks no at feed time all dogs are seperated and are all made to sit and wiat till i tell them it is ok to eat.it is at the time of getting ready to seperate that it happens most of the dogs are very placid. all the dogs live together inside and outside and play out in the yard no probs.never any aggresion from any of them. its when it gets to the feeding hour as they have a routine and they all know when it is close to fee time as they can here us in the kitchen preparing it all for them, that is when he starts . but yes he is getting desexed next week I have him booked in for wednesday. thanks for the advice too. it shows me that im trying to do the right thing by him and the others but still having that outside advice helps hope all that makes sense

I live in victoria and I have a booking with a trainer to try and help with him. as for packleader all the dogs even the dane know me as packleader it is when no one is in the yard and well you can sit in the back room or the yard 24-7. at the moment ive got it under control by putting him in a different area before,during and after meals .after the meals i am now waiting one hour before bringing him in with the other. so far so good. k9 force I agree with you trying to fix the problem with desexing and then rehoming is not a way to go. I have to fix his problems first then think about it . as he has alot of hates and not many likes. lol.

hi I have a five year old male dane who is not desexed but soon to be how ever we are having troubles with him i got him as his last owner could not keep him as he had chased some sheep. when he arrived he seemed fine getting along with the other dogs and loving the kids about a month later he started getting all huffy with one of my males around meal times and would pick on him all the time when it was close to feed time and even after feed time even with no food in sight. he wasnt worried about my cat or the sheep in my paddock. anyway i sent him to his lat owner who then siad again he had to go due to sheep that was fine ia sent him to my brother who siad he was getting along fine with his two dogs and then three weeks later the same thing with the other male dog. so now i have him back and my dogs have now cracked the poops with me and are all picking on each other . ive never had this all my dogs males females pups and older dogs have always gotten along maybe a bithc here and there but nothing like this . ive tried alot of different ways to get this fellow to get along but now it is beyond me on what to do now. any advice would be great.

thanks for that ive cleaned the wound and stuck benedin on it she licked that of so i did the vicks around it alittle bit and boy what a screw up with the face but it worked lol it doesnt look invected so i will see how she goes . ive got an elizabeth collar so if she goes to lick it agian i will put that on her. thanks agian for your help

hi I have a 12 month old lab who has a very nausty sore on her back upper leg after a possum bit her it got into the dogs yard last night and the dogs reacted by chasing it but not before it bit one of them and i was wondering if just soaking it in salt water and then putting benedin on it if that will be ok till a vet in my area opens if it is kept clean.

thanks for that everyone now all I need to do is find a place around here in the western district of victoria that sells as it would help my giant schnauzer who is a bugger to keep weight on and also the dane girl that I just took in for another person

thanks I will check it out first time puppy owner

Hi Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of thrive D? from what ive been told it is a suppliment that you can give to dogs when they are under weight.

Hi Dru thanks for the info here is a pic of my giant girl for you she is playing with my dane pup

Hi Could anyone tell me at what age do you stop taping ears on a giant schnauzer to help them from flying away. my girl is now 7 and a half months old and one ear is sitting really well but the other still wants to fold the wrong way. is there any way to do just one ear or do you have to do both?

Hi Dimity I have three danes and I use a chair to put their bowls on so that they are at shoulder level when eating it is what I was told to do with the danes as they can have the same problem. as for wether it reduces the changes I cant say as we have been told that it manly happens if they run around heeps before or after drinking and sometimes eating. also with the raised bowls it helps the dogs swollow their food abit better as sometimes when they eat from ground level they get some food stuck in the back of the jowls and that can cuase them to choke. thats what ive been told and ive never had any problems with the raised bowls. hope that helps

I have used coprice on my labs for 3 years now and it works great they put the weight on nicely and they dont get runny stools and their coats are really good. ive tried the cobber and it did nothing for my guys and one of them refused to eat it which says alot for a lab lol
