Oh I love it! Such awesome names, proposed and call!

Congratulations all those with puppies so far! :D So where are the photos? Sorry to hear about the misses angelsun, I know how devastating it all is when the planning doesn't come to fruition.......what's with these girls?

So sorry Missymoo

I was personally interested from a trialing point of view. But also mentioned the advantages of a dog who will automatically refuse food waved about by a toddler or elderly person/ wheel chair height etc. Would also be good to help with refusal from strangers over the fence but agree, it's not fool proof. Thanks anyway guys.

Oh Eishund, they are absolutely adorable!!!!

Yep, Atlas! I had thought that myself but got too distracted with all the others

Hi all, I've been talking to a friend about the benefits of food refusal. They've currently taught their dog 'wait' before food, but I wanted to give them an idea of how advanced and safe this could be for their dog. Anyone have any good you tube vids of training for this? Would also like to see a successful trialing effort just for comparison. Cheers!

Oh he's so cute! I had a bit of a search on name generators.....got as far as Ad Came up with these: Acacio Acario Abeodan Adalrik Did you have any idea on what origin you wanted to go with?

Can you take us off the list please BB Again nothing from Miss Roxy. Her last litter was 2 years ago, 7 pups, and an 8 pup litter before that. Boy has good count, motility and morphology so I don't know Best of luck everyone else, I'll be waiting eagerly to see all your puppy photos

Big congrats Parkeyre and alpha bet! Totally agree.....those pups are going to be cute as!!! :D

I have high energy dogs, but I don't take them to off lead parks to socialize. Mostly I'll take them when things are quiet and just one at a time, play a game then go home and swap dogs. If someone else is there we just simply walk past and go to the other end of the park. I don't expect my dog to take it's focus off me, if it does then it's back on lead and we go. My other exercise is the occasional jog of a few km's or a long bush walk, both on lead. If your dog enjoys fetch then you can usually get a pretty good work out in a small area with total focus from your dog. I wouldn't try it at a populated dog park though in case possession issues came into play. Best of luck with it

*Cute!* Roxy's been fusy with her food for the last 24 hours so I'm hoping some tinned tuna can change her mind. Apparently dry kibble is nicer than kibble mixed with chicken mince......or just none at all We have a little baby bump too :D

Awesome news to everyone with positive scans! Congratulations!!! OMG! That's.....impressive! Big month for GSD's!

We were actually about day 24 but usually day 28 onward to week 6 is what I've told is best. If it looks more likely she's going to have a large litter I may xray, but at the moment 4 sounds reasonable so depends on how big she gets........of course I may change my mind ;)

Big congratulations to all confirmed :thumbsup: Best of luck for all those waiting.....October's looking to be a good month! :D

Errrr........ Can you add some more GSD's please BB :D Ultrasound today picked up 4 individual very very possibles, 80% sure but had to ultrasound a bit early. Due date Oct 11, will be confirming by follow up ultrasound in a fortnight.

Very nice

Oh look......something other than GSD's! Best of luck Monteba!

Gosh...that sounds like a busy couple of weeks coming up! Best of luck angelsun Hurry up September ..... :D

Best of luck Heidii!!! May I ask who the Dam and Sire are, and under what prefix?

Getting in early BB :D

Excellent idea Sway. I can only suggest Dr Margaret van De Weg at North West Animal Hospitalfor Tas. Not sure if she is a specialist per se, but comes with excellent recommendation. :D

Oh so sorry to hear Ish

Chicken frames usually consist of the carcass with meat, wings and legs removed but heart kidneys and lungs intact. They also have two fatty pouches near the rear flap of the cavity which should be cut off prior feeding. They are OK fed raw about once a week or for a puppy cut in half. I've always fed frames and necks to my dogs as did my original breeder and most others around me, GSD's love them. Good luck finding a local supplier at a reasonable price. What you are paying sounds way too much. Cheers
