You can lead a horse to water as the saying goes... If people want to research they will, if they don't they won't - nothing you can do about it. I think registered pure breed breeders need to advertise in places that the average person looks at for a puppy Trading Post Petlink Local Paper These places are full of BYB and very few pure bred puppies - go to the buyers ! I think pets are on a big decline everywhere - Many people don't have time, or expenses for pets these days.

I noticed a French twist to your name lol Well Done !

Interesting results so far.

Yes, overseas dogs what is your point?

Lol so it does! Doh! :laugh: Well since we have a central point I think more promotion would be the go to get more people making DOL their first stop when they search? Would be good to get more public exposure to the site. Anyone doing a search on the Internet for puppies of a particular breed for sale will generally find DOL one of the top sites listed. Not really hard to find. I just search for Buy puppy Buy dog And DOL was in the top 3, again buyers need to put some effort in and research.

Links have already been posted for a website that does this...

I am all for health testing and having public results - My dogs are tested and the results are on my website. I also host/run a Hip & Elbow database to get a breed average for our breed that has no mandatory testing. BUT the buyers needs to research and research and do more research. A public database means people can see results but in reality what does it mean to the lay person if they don't understand it? There has been plenty of media stories on puppy farms and BYB and yet people still buy from them???

I see a discussion, I don't see personal attacks?? Feedback and discussions are not personal attacks,

Why would someone looking for a puppy speak to a veterinarian first? It's up to the buyer to research and ask the breeder or breed club questions. Anyone can spend 30min on google and find out what testing should be done for what breed and what problems occur in the breed they are interested in.

Scan - I want to know sooner rather then later to plan things. Just remember counts etc are not always right - ultrasounds should be used to confirm pregnancy and not numbers. If you want to know numbers xray at 8 weeks - mind you they have also been known to be wrong.

I am just doing a poll to help decided for future shows..

GREAT start time, much better then 8.30am many other shows do for hot weather.

Oh my !!

Thank you! Jan or Kathy - I have pm's turned off. [email protected]

I am not doing Noorat but I have a friend who is who could pick it up from you.

Is anyone in Point Cook / Werribee who could pick up a small wine fridge for me and bring to a show? Dimensions are 500mm high X 440mm wide X 500 mm deep & weighs 15 kilos total Thank you :D

Entries close this Friday.
