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 -
some are also easier to install a false floor in the back so you can pack things underneath & then sit things on top making packing easier because you aren't reliant on it being done in an order to fit . Often with some cars you think "i could start packing now" but reality is you can't because it must be done in order to fit correctly so always consider if options are there to make life easier . Ie wagons can be great for the false floor unless the spare wheel is in the back & then that takes out space

What form of independence have you taught him. IE when home do you shut him outside so he goes & plays or his he with you 24/7 ^ reliant on you to be his fun?? What has changed over the last 2 months ??Have you been less active with him ,spending more time away or any other change? Have you considered doing a puppy sandpit for him burying his toys there & encouraging him o play there . I would also consider it is time to get up early & go walkies . The biggest thing you need to think of is the backyard is there domain for many hours a day often by themselves . Have you considered a doggy door allowing access to a set part of the house laundry do he has a more homely day time especially when it gets colder & they often sit in a nice snug house until everyone leaves then outside to the cold

A tad scary that someone wants to set a club up but doesn't have a no clue .

2 weeks at the pup is nothing ,he has a routine now ,poop over night & if you wish to wake up at 8am then its going to happen. If you don't start re establishing a routine now it won't stop. My 4 month olds go all night without toileting & i don't wake up at set times either,they are taught to ask to go out & when we go it its all about toileting . I have stood outside freezing my butt off for 30 mins or more & feel like a zombie the next day but its worth the effort. I prefer to teach the dogs to wake me up than me wake them when they obviously don't want to go . I think Caesar may be a tad confused over what his "toilet " world is,one minute outside but if that doesn't work then its fine to go inside . If the dog loo is part of his life then the people i now place it somewhere very specific to it being a loo (balcony.laundry somewhere that defines it . If going outside is the plan then you need to go out more often & stand there until pup truley gets what you want. Instead of standing outside for ever come back insie ,play with dog & then go out again . As for feeding some dogs will eat for ever,the more you feed it now the more expects,dogs learn quickly about setting the rules but you need to set the rules & stick with a plan
-
Agree with other is never to cold or dark . I think what you need to decide & train for is whether the pet loo is always going to be the main source for toileting or whether going outside is & then you need to train accordingly . But you need to do a latter toilet run
-
What is best also comes down to what you want to put inside & what will fit ie oz trails,trolleys etc etc

Can Dogs Just Take A Dislike To A Certain Person

Tibetan Terriers also don't shed & are fun dogs very bright & soft coat

Even consider an Irish Terrier less work coat wise than Airedales,Lakies & Welsh & fun dogs ,have the humerus nature the Wheatens can have . The Welsh i handled was a stubborn critter .The Airedale i showed for years was a gem . The Welsh are certainly the Mini Airedales in lloks just not that same nature although both are very loving
