Yes, they should search worldwide - with that said they also say they will not approve common names, places etc yet they do. I see it often when updating the database http://www.prefixsearch.com.au

I'm not sure on cost, I will find out. The bitch will still have seasons, so it's not an answer to de-sexing.

Stewart Mason will do them from 12 weeks. Monash Vet - Oakleigh East

Good thread!

Oh Oh OH!

It's a great idea if it stays on - if someone takes it off or the dog gets it off it's pointless. Now if was GPS in a micro chip, I would be lining up to get all my dogs one!

http://www.news.com.au/national/aussie-dogs-sold-into-asian-misery/story-e6frfkvr-1226093479970 THOUSANDS of Australian-bred designer puppies are being sold to the lucrative Asian market as the internet fuels demand. Many end up in pet shops or spend their lives as breeding dogs, often in horrific conditions, animal welfare authorities say, The Advertiser reports. Commercial breeders are free to use the internet to sell dogs overseas, with no requirements to desex or microchip them first - meaning they cannot be traced once they leave Australian shores. Puppies eight weeks old - some feared even younger - are being packed in crates and transported by road and then on long, stressful overseas flights. Hong Kong, Singapore, China and Hawaii are importing significant numbers of designer pups, with labradoodles, cavoodles, spoodles and other cross-breeds seen as status symbols. Australian puppies are in demand because there are relatively few disease issues, such as rabies, so they do not have to endure long quarantines. Figures from the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service show 5400 dog-export permits were granted last year, up from 4800 in 2009. The RSPCA is investigating the export market as part of its campaign against puppy farms. Most export puppies are supplied by commercial mass-breeding operations. "It is a real growth market, and smaller, designer-breed dogs are seen as a status symbol in some countries," said RSPCA manager of animal services Allie Jalbert. "They are shipped all over the world and it is a lucrative market. When we inspect puppy farms the owners often tell us they are shipping around Australia and overseas. "As Australia is a large, Western country close to Asia, we are a source to that growth market as wealth builds there. "Most are sourced from local puppy farms where there are mass breeding facilities and puppies are cranked out for profit. They are a battery farm for puppies and the facilities are poor to mediocre. `Debarking' often happens to control noise." RSPCA analysis shows pups are sent to Hong Kong, China, Japan, Indonesia and the US. Figures from Singapore's Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority show Singapore imported more than 1300 dogs from Australia last year with the number averaging 1000-2000 each year. Glenys Oogjes, of Animals Australia, said the trade had been going since the early 1990s. "Many have been going to Asia - historically Hong Kong and China," she said. Australian Veterinary Authority immediate past president Dr Mark Lawrie said there was a boom in places such as Korea and India.

Wow that's interesting, I didn't know that. I have a RUBIG fringie that I won last year at a show here in QLD, but it's worded 'RESERVE EXHIBIT IN GROUP'. Original Thread

Note to others, name your dog Sway or get a blue dog Some more are being dropped off to the embroidery place today. Yet again not quite close enough, I have a dog called Blue who is a mini schnauzer You're getting there

Not right now as I spent all my money on jackets!

In Vic they are not automatically written out, you have to go and see the show secretary - Im not sure what other States do.

I use the following (you can now get reserve certificates) Dog CC- Dog Challenge Certificate Res Dog CC - Res Dog Challenge Certificate Bitch CC - Bitch Challenge Certificate Res Bitch CC - Reserve Bitch Challenge Certificate BOB - Best Of Breed RUBOB - Runner Up Best Of Breed BIG - Best In Group RUBIG - Runner Up Best In Group BIS - Best In Show RUBIS - Runner Up Best In Show I don't shorten the the class in groups/shows JIG, JIS etc ANKC removed the word reserve in group a few years ago and said it is to only be used for reserve CC, I still see people use it - mainly QLD'ers.

I use this the other night on one of my dogs - nice gentle vomit.
