Yeah, get back in line Ceilidh! .... cant ya see how busy Poddlefan is! I'm hoping if we harrass her enough she will sell us one of her pups. Isn't that how it works?? Bombard with emails till the breeder gives in? That may be necessary for some breeders but here at Deshonko we have pups ready to go all the time. Of course I vet all homes carefully.... no credit card, no pup!

That first one is something the team at the Ponds Insitute for Canine Genetics are working on for guarding yachts, sea front and beach canal properties. Not one for you though Raz, it smells like fish at both ends.

Can't people buy offal in the butchers shops in Tassie?

Just don't expect a refund or for me to take the dog back.... unless its still entire.

Get back in line Ceilidh.. it's 5 weeks to Christmas and the bloody phone's ringing off the hook. God bless the Trading Post! I've still got to come up with an improved Bull Terrier.. which gives me an idea to full two orders. I think the Bullfox Terrier has a ring to it.. and if I do a teacup version it should move quickly.

A puppy farmer? Hardly. I am THE puppy farmer. You can still trust me Souffy. I can be trusted implicitly to engage in any dog breeding practice that swells my wallet. Troy only tolerates me because I educate you lot.

If got a couple big hairy black pups I've been unable to sell while they were still cute running on here DW. As they've not had any handling and have never been socialised they might be just the thing. None of my work for the dole experienced professional kennel staff will go in their pen. I could give you a good price on one of them.. discount for two! I think they're still there.. don't get down those back pens much myself.

For $3,500 I'll sell you a violet spotted Biddleonian Aardvark Hound.. if that's what you tell me you want. What you actually get ... who knows? It's not like I keep track of these things. Breeding records are for hobbiests and the other mob. If the lawyers come calling I'm not going to be hung by my own paperwork Any how, I'm a professional breeder - the punters really go for that term.

People have been referring to me as PF on here for years.... little did they realise.

I think people make far too much of grooming their dogs. Sure its a good money spinner but I'm not in that line myself. If you never take them anywhere and don't let them in the house does it really matter what they look or smell like I think you'd be better buying a tin shed for the whelping side of things. Personally its better to keep the buyers off the property so they can't find you. Just meet them in a park somewhere. If you want to spend big bucks on a whelping set up, get a colourbond shed. When the pups freak out in their new homes because they've not been handled or accustomed to domesticity, blame the owners for failing to socialise them enough. ;)

For the right fiscal incentive YM I'll tell you anything you want to hear. If the pup fails to be a winner, I'll blame diet, training and socialisation. You'd be amazed how many owners you can guilt into leaving you alone. I've had the most incredible success telling puppy buyers that it's possible to socialise their pups too much. Its like shooting fish in a barrel.

You need a Lurcher YM.. They tend to be Whippet/Collie mixes. Give me 8 weeks and I'll have some. I just have to source some dogs from pounds or the FTGH ads. Rock up in a nice car with a nice fake family and you walk away with the dog no worries. People do it all the time.

You guys are slow to catch on aren't you? I can sell a punter any pup here at Deshonko as any crossbred they say they want or any new purebred I say it is. None of them set foot on my place. The punters don't know any better and anything that's unexpected, I write off as "hybrid vigour" or a "throwback". Hey, if it's got OZKC papers, its all good. People who do their homework go to those snobby do gooder ANKC breeders with their profit sapping rules and code of ethics. I'm catering to the rest..that BBC doco has made it soooo much easier to sell my pups. If the subject of the other mob comes up I just ask if they saw the doco, imply that all the established breeds are genetic disaster areas (more feigned concern and heavy sighs) toss in a reference to hybrid vigour and hey presto.. $$$ ;) Of course I would never sell a pup to a petshop.. why should they get the 300% mark up on cost price when I can make those sorts of profits with a website.

Is that my Nigerian or Russian account? I can attest to the fact that I adhere strickly to the OZKC code of ethics. If you ship 'em as "animal derived product" you get round most of those pesky live animal quarantine rules Becks.

That's what I tell the buyers PM... and by the time they've figured it out, I'm long gone. Look, you and I know "low allergy" = "high maintenance".. but the punters don't.

If I splice in some German Pinscher, we might be able to pull it off Becks.... or you could simply pick a Decore colour.

Look, I'm not very happy about some of the PMs I'm getting Yes, all orders will be filled with delivery by Christmas Eve. If it's whelps this week its available.. I can ship em aged 5 weeks - any longer cuts into my profit margins anyway. What do you want papers for.. go to the newsagents and get yesterdays for free.. they're fine for toilet training. If you absolutely insist, I'm sure I can knock some up. And yes, of course the OZKC has a code of ethics.. I wrote it. Here it is.

All my pups go on OZKC Main Register. It's good for families to experience the joy of birth!! It's even better for my investment in veterinary practices. Of course I make my stud dogs available and have lots of bitches out on mulitple litter terms. Sure cuts the workload down here at Deshonko and you can charge for pup, they pay for its upkeep and you get the profit. I seriously recommend you reconsider your narrow breeding strategy here Shonkbred. You can sell the "rare" colours for $$$$ but sheer numbers of pups sold add up ya know. Helps compensate you for the time consuming job of dealing with buyers whose rare coloured Dobes go bald too. Don't worry about temperament or ability. You can blame any problems on the owners if you word it carefully. What ever they've done, tell them they should have done something else and feign concern - works a treat. I'll see what I can come up with in Bull Terriers..

It could be an abcess or a haematoma. I'd be off to the vet.

A whole new show outfit might do the trick.. and a new chair!

I had to buy a new pair this week. The last pair become Whippet snax. Shite I'm a slow learner.

Tobster, that's the unfunny part of this thread.. that people actually do go to the Deshonkos of this world. Anyhoo, yes of course my dogs come with a warranty! All breeding stock is health tested. If it breathes, it's healthy ain't it?

Because you can: AND AND THEN From time to time you: If you really hate doing entries, there's always Ozentries.

It's good that you're not fixed on a colour IW.. because we all know that buying a dog based just on colour is never a good idea. It just plays into the hands of those unethical breeders that are out there. I'm getting the impression that some people think I"m a colour breeder. I'd just like to say that I can categorically state I don't just breed for colour.... Volume is important too. If only I could get my hands on some of these bitches that have three seasons a year.
