Does anyone have results from Specials today?

I had a litter of 11 recently so we took them to the vet at 6 weeks in the dog trailer. We took 2 c-crates in and set them up in the waiting room. It wasn't easy and I had hubby to help me, couldn't have done it without help.

I so agree with everything you say! I would never remove the puppies, nature is wonderful, we really don't need to interfere unless there are problems, its amazing how well our girls can cope, please don't underestimate them.

Of course anyone living in WA, Tasmania, the NT or remote from metro areas and specialty locations should have to haemorrhage financially to attend specialties - where they exist. Otherwise they lack "dedicaton". I find that patronising in the extreme. I agree, very patronising

Introducing my new baby "Graebrook Rose Tattoo" no stacked pics as yet, but she is a stunner, first show next weekend

yep ... totally agree with you on that .... many losers will use it as an easy excuse I also agree, its either "face judging" or the judge is "completley hopeless" only time they don't comment on the judging is when they win.

I buy dog collars from the US and never been charged extra by customs.

All my pups are sold for the same price, they are all quality puppies, I sell on main register for show prospects, if I had a puppy with a fault I would drop the price.

If the breeder you are buying from is familiar with export permits and the rabies testing etc, some that export regularly have it down pat, its not really that hard. You will then have to apply for an import permit, you can save quite a lot of money by doing it without an agent, but you really need the exporter to know what they are doing regarding tests and permits etc..if they haven't exported before would be quite daunting but pretty straight forward. Good Luck

So sorry to read about your puppies, just heartbreaking

More than generous, too much time had elapsed, they should have known within a month re bonding, they really are lucky as plenty of breeders would have given them nothing.

lucky you don't live in Tas, as groups are rotated for order of judging, quite often our group is not judged until after completion of judging of 3 other groups by the one judge, so around 2.30 ish

these collars look great! I've seen them on U.S babies and really liked them. I don't need any for a while but might have to buy some now

The certificates are required for qantas flights, Virgin don't require them. I showed them my vet certificate from their 6 week check up (which was done at 7 weeks, so a week before they flew) with their microchip numbers and name on with their birth date as they require proof of age, and pedigree papers with name and birth date and microchip number on. They photo copied everything and accepted that. I wasn't about to go back to vets a week after their check up and pay for 10 puppies to have another check. You will have to ring dogtainers and find out who they are flying with.
