Okay so im imagining this is your 2 yr old rescue dog you asked for help in the other post . The most obvious answer asap is you cant leave this dog in the house unattended . Chances are this dog already has a history & is in the process of going through another set of history . Also keep in mind Beagles tick all the things you have mentioned & are a breed that generally does better in a pack . So the obvious is you need to set up a safe run that this dog can go in when not home . Im presuming your backyard is not safe or suitable if the dog is locked inside when you go out ??

Whilst im not a go onto meds pusher i do believe at times doing a course for a transition plan works so much more successful than letting the problem fester more & more to the point its harder to retrain & meds then often end up being used . I would sooner be proactive 6 months earlier than 6 months later

It would actually be easier if you listed breeds of interest . You havent said indoor dog /otdoor dog,grooming/no grooming ,what kind of terrain walks,what kind of dog sports interest you .How many km of walkiing would be normal

When you decide you want the dog gone today they either go into kennels or too a foster where they will be assessed for home suitability thats just common sense . Desexing will be for the sale not the taking in . Im sorry but your supposed reason for rehome doesnt make any sense at all. If the dog was happy & brought you much joy & laugher then suddenly deciding being home alone for that time period was wrong to lets get rid off the dog doesnt marry up . Who did you speak too about these concerns before even thinking this was the right choice ??Its unfortunate even for the dog that alot more thought didnt go into it after all the dog didnt sign up for this either & at the end of the day the dog will be the one feeling the biggest confusion & i think im all your wording its all about the humans but very little about we screwed up bigtime & have let our dog down even more . You could have placed the dog in boarding kennels for a week & seen what life was like without the dog & made the serious choice You have legally surrendered your dog with concerns you couldnt provide it with a fulfilling life . Rescue orgs arent about offering second chances when people decide dont want it anymore they deal with all sorts of sob stories & crap as it is plus the dog . Reading there form i gather you paid the $150 surrender fee & the form was very clear about foster,kennels or can you keep it until a foster is available or work with them.

All the Staffies we board are so human friendly they kill you with kindness. Obviously a vet check including thyroid level check is a great start. Then its a be honest with yourself situation. I guess also consider how well do you trust your roommate & room mates friends that come over when your not there .Anyone smoke,heavy drink,any burglaries in the home or area. New neighbours,trades people , To flip like this is significant & requires some serios thought process. Human illness in yourself or roommate .dog has been on the receiving end of something unpleasant

Not a surprise at all if people are following the animal welfare aspects of Europe & people should be worried

Get a rehab specialist . Generally speaking swimming for injury recovery is warm water & with a set purpose in mind .

For xrays that price is good . As to a second opinion suggest if you have no confidence in your vet yes . I will always advocate for a second opinion but we are lucky that when we pick our chosen vet clinic we do so based on what they can offer as a complete package & skill of the staff . In your case if its a second opinion then it would be with a vet whois a specialist in ortho issues or regularly does the procdeure otherwise your just wasting money . It may not require surgery often a conservative approach can work but you wont know till an xray . If nothing shows up then consider a doggy chiro /bowen person some wont treat till after x rays but those golden hands & water exercise can do alot & management

Albino is not accepting in any breed or form . Some idiots do breed for albinos & bigger idiots buy them whinge when the health issues or cancer care is required in summer . No different to humans

Most in NZ use Massey but the greater majority use LABOKLIN VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY (UK) Cambridge Uni in the UK as well . We wont use orivet

! COLOUR Any colour or mixture of colours - but never merle (dapple) Extended Breed Standard of the Chihuahua - Page 13 Colour may be almost any colour or combination of colours, solid, tri-coloured, marked or splashed. There are fawns, golden fawns, red fawns, silver fawns, blue fawns, reds and creams, sables, chocolates, blues, blacks, whites, creams, etc. The only “colour” which is not permitted is merle (dapple). Colour should NEVER influence any judging decision, as all colours, except merle, are equally correct. As above cream can vary from pale to dark Technically a White Chi would simply be a pale cream so if the people your talking to on Facebook cant explain that then their knowledge is questionable . White -albino is a whole different thing & runfast

Ears change & especially during teething but simple reality shes a rescue not likely breed with keeping the breed feature ears . If the shape & set is wrong they wont ever fix compared to teething ears

In my own breeds the colours have different natures bigtime . In Labs Chocs often are more scatty ,obsessive even now . I handle a very bomb proof Choc but we board alot of fruit loop chocs. I find the blacks more vocal The yellows really good all rounders

If there a decent breeder they will likely have your number blocked . No way will you be getting this puppy back . I can guarantee if the money was refunded that quickly they felt red flags & addressed it quickly & smartly & did all the rights things for the pup. Simply put your relationship with this breeder is well & truly ended with no comeback

There is no right or wrong just what ends up the best fit for the dog . Any dog having seizures i would want a Thyroid test done

Just drop his dry food for 6 weeks and stick to what is working & see what happens . He may be the kind of dog that needs kids Gaviscon given for reflux

Colour i cant help as im not sure how simple it is in Staffies without knowing colours in pedigree & DNA colour testing . As to the COI it again is as simple as lower is better & hopefully no breeder goes by that theory alone . I do know in the UK many have that mindset yet within my breed dogs in a pedigree of hips scores up near the 30 OMGno BAER testing but brag about the COI being low has truly screwed over the concept on know your pedigree

Im presuming your using a repo vet so they would have clearly explained the best timing & timing may mean not in the morning but ready in the afternoon .Good repo vets tell you the whole package Are you using chilled.frozen . Days are irrelevant for AI numbers count even breed quirks can be considered . I know plenty of AI done around days 20/25 with good success

I gather most will be PTS because people think thats a better choice & apparently find that thought process easier to live with aslong as they cant run in circles. Funny part is for many many many years the biggest source of blood donors to save dogs lives are also Greyhounds so people dont have an issue when there dog needs blood transfusion to have it from a Grey but want the industry banned but dont really care what the future is for the dogs . Im gathering lure coursing or Sprintdog isnt an option with the NZKC dog sport events

Yes there are still show bred there & i certainly hope the NZKC fights hard for the show people because yes that NSW saga was not nice for the Greyhound show folk who got targeted & had to deal with the unknown fear for that period because no one uses there brains.

We always told price first as it was no fun for us to talk to someone on the phone for 30 plus minutes & then hear So sorry thats out of our price range . I will say though we didnt put the price in the ad nor every life detail . Our ads we simple if needed to be posted . Puppies available ,health tested, available from Please phone xyz to discuss further because we would never sell a pup based on the info in a post. The one then we clearly made important in our ads was the people should clearly have researched this breed & understand it needs professional grooming every 6/8 weeks & weekly brushing so this breed has life long expenses & owner commitment as that was more important to us than price . In 40 plus years we never did application forms & the questions most ask are nothing more than what you get talking . Talking to a human weeded out very easily the good,bad & not this breed people .

Your first post a few years back was about being at the point of rehoming a 6 month Sheltie as it was still pooing in your house . Infact at a dogshow a Sheltie lunged at me walking past & broke skin Any dog cross ,pure can be an issue with owners who shouldnt own anything more than a garden gnome

Dangerous ?? Please show the references to this breed being so dangerous . So you would want the breeds who do the same/similiar jobs to be banned too .

You can buy them in Oz . There called Happy hoods here and groomers often use them to lesser the noise for hair dryers & the likes but if a dog doesnt want to wear it they just push of easy peasy

So you sell your stuff from your bedroom?? Your happy for strangers to come into your room to ensure your legit?? Im going to safely assume you have a neutral room you sell stuff from & most likely CCTV to ensure your safety . I mean no sane person is going let let Joe Public just have free range through their house so they can confirm . I mean anyone telling me that sends Red flags up as im not going to just go into a randoms house if there selling stuff either ,could be a serial killer. I can safely tell you if wanting to snoop through a home is your thing you will get more no from breeders . Most breeders do outside ,neutral for meet n greets .Get to know each other & go from there . All aspects covered in a respectful & responsible manner . We ourselves did communication before pups where to be viewed & we where old fashioned & did phone calls only as we could learn alot by what was said not written,we never did questionaires as so easy to fudge answers & thats not a tool we base a pup for life to be sold by . We always ensured contracts,diets ,breed history etc where all covered before any commitment was made . As a side note a good Dobe breeder in the US was murdered after people came to his home to look at pups,they also stole the pups .
