Rehome both until you stop comparing them to Harvey they will never meet your expectations. New dogs come with a new beginning,if you can't accept them for what they are then they will never be happy . Contact the breeders & seek there help in rehoming & yep do it sooner than later because whilst you decide the dogs won't be your first priority & they will now there not wanted by everyone's interactions

I think one of the issues is people who don't do the right thing on public ovals & pick there dog poo up. There is no excuse for there behaviour but i as a kid when playing sports remember club members/parents having to do a poo check before we played . We have a dog offleash oval behind us & it is now a sports oval too with training & games ,I haven't heard of any issues as yet but reality is it isn't going to work but luckily this oval is very much unknown so people use it during the day but i have no doubts many don't pick up because these same people have allowed there dogs to crap on residents front lawns & not done the right thing . There behaviour was not acceptable ut maybe keep in mind that un like yourself who may be an excellent owner who does the right thing many more don't & sadly ruin it for others .

All our showdogs are crate trained & love there crates but we never train via many methods "suggested " these days in books. We have never bribed our dogs to sleep in them,they go in door shut & all is fine. There is no fuss or performance made about it . The greater majority of pups from breeders have been in a crate at 6 weeks,whether it be a vet visit or something else. Our pups at 6 weeks on travel in crates & spend time in a puppy pen so its more normal than people think so if you do wish to head down this path chances are the pup has already experienced it. Ask your breeder a good breeder is worth there weight in gold

Did your breeder not suggest products in there puppy packs??

There are a number of Guiremere dogs in this state competing at top level but there owner /handlers are people that OsoSwift is talking about . Good handlers who match the dogs well. There are also many show breed dogs competing in this state at the same top level .

The live stream wasnt great last night either I watched Terrier judging

Does she lick often before fits if not leash grabbing. For me the leash grabbing & licking could be ways for her to alert to a fit or she trying to soothe the panic of what is about to happen

Advice On Owning A Big Dog And A Little Dog
Dogsfevr replied to LillyFlower's topic in General Dog Discussion
I have big & small but you need to teach the little dog just as much as the big . Big dogs play like big dogs some little dogs are stirrers & can be the trouble maker . My big dogs are taught to lay down to play BUT they are also allowed to have big dog play because i won't take away what is natural to them especially when there pups. I guess the biggest concern witha Frenchie & chosing the right playmate is the summer months & it not going over the top in the heat . It can be done but matching the personalities is a must ,Frenchies can be full on so its depends whether you want something that matches well or in the Goldies case will require more exercise as a pup & want to walk longer distances than say the Frenchie will. It depends i guess on work whether you want big & small,keep in the mind the Goldie will shed alot more coat than the Frenchie . -
So does the dog fit more on walks & often before fitting grabs the lead ?? or does the dog fit at home or any other scenario as well??

The mars coat kings we rarely use on the Minis & it would have to have an amazing coat to start with for the coat king to be any good.Very few show people use them The coat kings are fine for the Stds & giants as there coat texture naturally are way harsher but Minis not so much but this is for pets only again If you wish to maintain the harsh coat you really need to hand strip it correctly the first time & then try & roll the coat . The coat King will not keep the coat harsh & do all the work you will still need to use other tools especially for the head . Once you have a good coat you can use a slick n Easy to pluck the dead coat out & other tools plus the obvious part of clipping throat ,bum,belly & ears unless you plan to strip the ears as well (not many do The sizes you have listed wouldn't be suitable ,you would need the higher numbers i think its 24 (without looking at ours)

Thinking About My Next Breed... Shortlist Now Chosen!
Dogsfevr replied to kiwifeathers's topic in General Dog Discussion
Do you have a preference to which group your prefer showing in or hanging with . -
Here you apply yearly & the permit can be refused because it requires neighbours approving unless in an area with different rules again. Note sure of the fees

How Often Do You Have To Cut Your Dogs Nails?
Dogsfevr replied to kelpiecuddles's topic in General Dog Discussion
Weekly irrespective of how much they wear them down we ensure we either nail file the ends or basic tip trim . The more you maintain the esier it is & the the blood vessel doesn't growm longer & longer. As a groomer i can safely say most people have no idea what long nails are ,many think there great when there to long,the dew claws are the worst having to find a starting point . You can tell so much about a dogs soundness & any issues by the way they wear there nails done & when to long it alters there foot shape -
British Bulldog Ear Gluing
Dogsfevr replied to LoveMyBullies87's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Is it showing ear issues ?? We have a breed where taping/gluing ears happens occasionally but certainly don't do it from a young pup & not with every pup either . Teething can make the ears do funny things . If the ears aren.t correct to start with no amount of taping/gluing will work . So you need to decide what issues the ears are,whether the fold is there or not -
A very expensive exercise . They can't fly excess they go as freight ,you then have the vet testing prior ,permits ,crate etc . For exact cost call some comapnies but i would say $2500 plus

Appropriate Weight For Sighthounds
Dogsfevr replied to SkySoaringMagpie's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
When we showed our Greys they where covered like shown now.They weren't fat ,they where fit animals I do believe there are many Sighthounds shown under weight especially in Salukis . I think the problem is people interpret visible hip bones differently & some dogs are very hippy due to straight rears . Visible for me shouldn't equate to starving underweight ,if the dog is constructed correctly you will see it without having to keep lean
