Has anyone recently Imported a dog/puppy from New Zealand? and if so what were the costs & who did you use as an agent? I have been quoted about $2500 for a dog in a PP60.

I know with animal network it is mandatory to have a microchip scanned by a vet when taking DNA. If no microchip is implanted how can people identify puppies that may have different sires?

I was speaking to a breeder who has apparently had her puppies DNA tested for parentage but they are not micro chipped yet? I thought dogs needed yo be chipped before DNA is done?

Thanks for the replies, the puppy is going back to the vet again today, they are treating her for a bladder infection as well ;-) but the vet is confused as to if she is also in season.

I've had a puppy buyer contact me because she believes her pup has come into season already, the puppy in question is 4 months old ! I've never had a bitch come into season this early infact none of mine have come in before 9 months. So my question is how early is the earliest you have had a bitch come into season? The puppy owner has had her at the vet & the vet is a bit confused as to what is going on. Thanks for any replies !

Hi, I'm looking for Trainer contacts for a puppy buyer who lives in Cairns to help her with her 4 month old puppy. Cheers.

I have 2 dogs arriving from the US in early Feb to Eastern creek quarantine, I live in WA so I need to organise a goomer to bath, dry & do nails twice during their stay, is there someone who regularly grooms at the quarantine station ? if not does anyone have any suggestions for a reliable groomer? Thanks !

Not true plenty of horses with scars are shown :) I myself have shown a Hack with a scar on his back leg & as long as it doesn't effect movement I'm sure showing a dog with a scar would be fine.

Nope I Have left a message for the vet I used for the xrays ( who sent them off to AVA not Rawlinson :-( ) to chase them up if I don't hear back I will be calling them monday ! I will NEVER allow my xrays to be sent to AVA again,from now on it will be Rawlinson as they have always been fantastic at getting them back quickly.

I had a dogs hips & elbows done & sent off to AVA for reading, it was 3 weeks ago & still no results? I have used Wyburn & Rawlinson & they are always very quick ! Has anyone else used AVA for hip scores & if so how long have they taken to get results back to you?

Why would you dodge someone who is or has been a registered breeder?

If the cornish's are in WA I can take them if they are urgent, I have 2 desexed Devon rex kitties & adore the Cornish rex !

I make sure I reply to all my puppy enquiries. There are often the usual " I'm looking for a puppy can you send me pic's of them? " but even though these would be easy to delete & shrug off as time wasters, I feel its my job as a breeder to be hospitable & as helpful as possible, I usually reply by asking them what they are looking for in a dog & ask them to tell a bit about themselves. Naturally there are no guarantee's you will get a puppy from me but I try hard to not insult or be rude. I have on the other hand spoken to breeders in the past who have been anything but helpful & I can see how buying from a registered breeder can seem too daunting.

Wit all the dogs I have bought overseas I've always paid with Paypal, its easy, fast & secure, I would want the same if exporting.

Im heading to Sydney Royal & the Aussie specialty with 3 dogs & a handler & was wondering if anyone knows of accomodation close to the sydney showgrounds?
