Oogh ah. What a big fat fibber!! Had a drip in for sure. Parvo? Tummy bug? Why can't these cretins in pet shops tell the truth? Spose they make less sales that way. Probably - shouldn't have tear stains at that age, and the bloodstained eyes are a problem. You could spend zillions on this dog, after you purchased it - in vet's fees. And - anyone who wasn't upfront with me about a dog I was buying would be shafted very fast. Have you gone off a cocker? agreed and thanks, no i haven't gone off a cocker . we purchased today from a breeder. and i owe it to the people here that i did buy from a registered breeder . thanks everyone . the advice , papers, certificates, veiwing of the parants, and time we were given on site to pic one + the bath before pickup, dog border, cards, and petcare procedures and dates to follow up with , are simply unreplaceable . also the presents for the pup to go on pickup, and tearfull cuddle to the pup from the breeder made the experiance all worth it . cheers . i have added 4 photos of bailey . on page 54 of the PHOTOS THREAD . " COCKER PICS "

THANKS . i cant convince my wife on labradores . she wants a golden retreiver . but i'm learning to be patient . also love cockerspanials , i'll start a thread on this cheers.

thanks . i'll do some more research and take my time . the last thing i want to do is put a young dog down . at the same time dont want to miss good oportunities . i'll keep you's all postred cheers . oh and i'm not going to buy the dog .

yeah your right guys . thanks for the advice . and advice will be taken . i guess this means i'm looking for a breeder . please pm . if there are any who want to sell a pu within 2 hours from sydney . cheers. the price is 695 $ the sister in the other shop is 799. and the 2 labs 850 each i must say though looking at the labradore pups. they are the healthiest looking pups i've seen fullstop . i think i'd buy one if the wife would let me . but regarding th x breed i'm taking your advice . thanks. we are not comfortable paying prices like this wiothout having a choice of litter , and veiwing the parents anyhow .

we have found a puppyt 9 weeks old it is a male labradore x golden retriever. it's temperament seems fine it looks a little undersize. its coat looks good teeth legs etc . but i am concerned about a couple of issues which people more in the know than i could advise me on . please reply asap . as my wife and kids want to buy tonight. the 1st thing is i noticed it's front leg has been shaved and a needle mark . the petshop told me it has that because the dog was hard to vaccinate in the neck so they vaccinated it in the leg. IS THIS THE TRUTH ??? WHY WOULD THE LEG HAVE TO BE SHAVED .? THE 2ND ISSUE IS . I'M NOT SURE ABOUT ITS EYES . it has tears about 1cm long each eye . which makes it look abit maltese terrior ish. i dont know if this is normal for a retreiver or an eye problem . it looks like the bhair is actually dark brown there . COULD THIS BE A FEATURE/ OR A STAIN .??? or does it mean eye problems ???? it's eye balls look ok . but are slightly bloodshot . again i'm not sure if this is normal for a puppy. compared to some purebreed labradores the same age in another pet shop . he is smaller , has a more scruffy coat , and doesn't look as well presented . the other 2 labradores i have seen look absolutely perfect to me . but my wife and children prefer the x breed we are looking at . i have seen it's sister too in another shop , she looks lethargic. but the male we are loooking at seems healthy enough but i'm so concerned about the eyes . please help with some opinions . ta.

i'm sorry for your loss. man for someone who literally hasn't cried for years and years, myself and others were beginning to wonder whats wrong with my emotions . the death of my dog , and this forum , and site has me in tears, like a whimp. iguess i'm HAPPY NOW . because i have become human agian. !!! I HOPE YOU DO ONE DAY SEE HIM AT THE BRIDGE !!!!
