This is awesome thanx for the instructions, going to see if I can set one up for the looney!

So a few of you are doing morriset then? Kites finally put on some weight...YAY!

I might be up for abit of training, Im abit busy this week thou so maybe next week. Doubt I will even make training this tuesday Dotty, I was working and might have been home in time but now im not working I'm BBQing and heading to the beach!

Yay to the pointer! Thanx for the results girls!

i think you are going to develope a phobia of P breeds soon! too late................................. Yep thought it might be... hmmm I wonder how its all going!

i think you are going to develope a phobia of P breeds soon!

Sorry, next year we will have to make sure we are entered I could text Kites breeder shes there but i cant find my phone...I wanna know how people are going particuarly all the pointer people there were a few entered apparently!

Easy to home, yes, But finding 26 GOOD homes, its gotta be hard hasnt it? I was speaking to my boss recently (she was a dane breeder) one reason she gave up was because it was way too hard to find decent good homes. But Danes have large litters and are very large dogs requiring special care (slow growing, large enough house & car, finances to feed/medicate the dog, ability to deal with a short lifespan etc). I wouldn't have thought homing Danes & pugs would really be comparable? I'm not saying people should be breeding so many dogs but it could be worse and theoretically, if the breeder is otherwise ethical and responsible, it's 26 pedigree Pugs getting homes instead of the puppy farmed ones. Well, the care is not comparable (althou pugs do have special needs to, after all they are a brachy breed) but finding good homes for a large litter of danes vs find 26 pug good homes I think is comparable. I dont think it matters what breed it is I get the impression that finding good homes isnt easy. I get your point thou, but how do we know they are good breeders breeding health pugs, there are some dodgey buggars out there that are doing NOTHING for the breed, so yes 26 babies at once worries me. There is maybe two breeders I know of who may occasionally have that many pups and whilst I dont like the idea they definately do a good job at breeding and raising their pups, so if it is one of those (or someone similar) then I guess people purchasing from them is better than purchasing from a pet shop. I know we don't know if the breeder is a good one or not, but at the same time we have no proof that they are 'dodgey' either I don't think that 26 responsible homes (possibly reducing that by a few if the breeder was keeping one or two??) would be that difficult to find expecially if willing to freight. Fair enough agree to disagree then

Should have made a road triop of it bec, I wanted to go watch too LOL

There is maybe two breeders I know of (in nsw) who occasionally have that many pups and whilst I dont like the idea they definately do a good job at breeding and raising their pups, so if it is one of those (or someone similar) then yes it is good that they are filling the market with good pups and hopefully people who are looking at Pet shop puppies are heading to these types of people especially seeings breeders like these guys would be able to help out the people that ned a pup right away, you know the impatient ones. ETA Apologies if im not making alot of sence, Im a tad tired tonight!

Personally seems like a few to many pups , do you know how many bitches that 26 spands over? It would have to be atleast five bitches (and probably more like about 7, given litter sizes) and I cant understand why anyone would want to breed that many bitches at once? Before some one says it, I know all the different speils, like bitches coming on heat at the same time, if you have the time why not ect but I still dont get it?

I read the title of this and was thinking Poty, whats Poty then I got it I'm looking forward to hearing results too.

Your hubby will soon realise you made a good choice I dont think theres a need to go to training if the breeder is going to help you alot. I get alot of help from kites breeder but I just enjoy show training good for socialising, for both me and the doggies!

first show a specialty your keen Just kidding the new little girl is fab, I had seen a few of your posts and was wondering IF you were getting a new baby but didnt realise it was going to be a show baby! Youll be hooked soon enough like the rest of us, good luck!

Doesn't a double negative make a positive? If we were posting illegal content in an illegal thread - and playing nicely to boot - shouldn't that be allowed on a Friday night? ETA up to 22 users now Yeah thats what I was thinking, but still maybe there should be more respect for the good old suicide post, I personally enjoy the drama of a suicide post but as soon as some one mentions pop corn they go poof!

might have been reported, might not...troy might have just not like this rule being broken: Keep on topic and do not purposely railroad threads Have some respect for the topic starter and keep to the topic being discussed.

Kite walks in a biiiiig circle whilst pooing!

I dont think crossbreeds should be bred at all. BUT in saying that I doubt that the breeding of cross bred's is ever going to stop so if it has to be done then I would prefer they do everything you mentioned and more (like all GOOD registered breeders do) BUT that isnt very likely either is it? People generally only breed cross's for the money so when money is the aim I dont think people will put in that kind of effort.

You should have seen my first couple times in the ring. I was soooooo nervous, I was shaking like a leaf, heart palpitations, feeling physically ill etc. I'm a total wuss. Luckily it didn't take me too long to get over it and now I love showing Congrats on the pup, when do you get him/her? I'm expecting my first, second and probably even 10th time in the ring to be something similar She should be here end of next week... her name will be Willow I think. I love the name Willow!

Group three, YAY! Might see you round the ring at some point. ETA I'm sorry I couldnt resist I just stalked you (checked your post history LOL) and have a feeling I know what you are getting and if I'm right Love them, very pretty! PMSL, well if you are basing this on a fairly recent post, then yes, you are right. I wasn't expecting to get one so soon. Yeh basing it on your recent post Things happen for a reason, I had only just started looking at pointers when I stumbled upon Kite, it was fate, and I'm having a fantastic time showing her!

Best advise I can give you is to learn as much as you can from his breeder, they will know the best way to train the breed, cause every breed is different! Hes a cutie!

Luci doesn't love everyone, just Moo lol. Not sure as the Royal is straight after her bday and she won't get any points there. When is gunnedah? Gunnedah isssss 23rd 24th and 25th april
