10 mins is nothing when it comes to waiting but at present your training it to go inside. All my pups are placed onlead when puppy toilet training so they learn to toilet on lead & also focus on the job. Just walk around saying "your " word & praise whilst there going with a calm tone. Dogs get it but they also get confused quicker

Yep having owned tape breeds the only way it works is to address it asap,the longer you wait the higher the risk of it not correcting itself is especially if the breeder says they haven't had it before There big ears & the fold doesn't look very good so if it was my showdog it would be taped

Some of the worse we have done where Keeshonds We did on OES cross that took 2 of us 4 hrs to clip off it was so matted . But this isn't what the topic is about & what happened in the OP case is totally groomer/salon fault but as already mentioned don't lump all groomers into the bad basket because i can guarantee most who whinge & say they groom there own dogs now have no idea what the greater majority of clients dogs come in . I love being a groomer but each year i get more disappointed in the laziness of owners who claim to be dog lovers & brings dogs in such appalling conditions

I have seen plenty of young dogs no awarded often there ringcraft was so poor aswell that the whole package of being worthy of that CC just wasn't happening on the day .I see it more so in Mastiff breeds that are more popular in our state with novice exhibitors . Any breed,any age can be no awarded.

A judge can certainly refuse based on ring craft manners. Puppies are puppies but at 11 months manners should be there & whether its a cool evening or not makes no difference. Judges have a small window to evaluate each dog & if in that small window they are unable to make a sound decision then yes they may refuse . If the dog was trying to get the bait then chances are the movement it showed wasn't very desirable at all as they generally throw there fronts around whilst looking that way . I am gathering the judge had already moved the dog & it didn't behave so are you saying she should have asked for it to move again or was it never moved except for entering the ring .

We had a dog with bone cancer & whilst she was still in pain it was managable but from diagnosis to her time going was just under 3 months & the signs are very much there. Signs it was summer & she was cold & had to be coated if the air con was on BUT i think in your caes the signs will be more dramatic due to the location Rebanne same thoughts as you. Ours was a Grey we went for x rays & told them if its was the big C to PTS there & then unfortunately the staff didn't pass that message on & we went to pick up her up she was her happy self

Big dogs go in the hold & little dogs as well if not traveling with someone . But the difference is dog owners over there respect more things,dogs are crate trained as many places will only take them in crates & no one thinks twice ,here people have a hissy fit when crating is mentioned . Here people don't give a stuff about rules even many DOLERS think there entitled to have dogs offleash etc etc.

responsible owners that understand dogs don't need to bark at night especially at these types of venues

Your steward is the person that gives the info Many judges don't say alot ,they acknowledge the steward who will say Aust male first/CC & BOB or just BOB & then you leave. There isn't alot of chat because it adds to time spent during the day Generally if they no award they call the steward over & say non award,some may explain why or they may say nothing , http://dogsnsw.org.au/activities-a-events/showing-your-dog.html?showall=1 This may help explain some things more

Don't bother it became a fad when all the fancy clinics opened up. Many charge & arm and a leg for it & make owners feel like there poor owners by not selecting it . One of the worst offending clinics in our area for all this stuff is part of a chain & they are done right rude when you say no. Used them once & the attitude from the staff was appalling because we said no . Plus all the other added etras they insist on having. We use to good old fashioned vets that you don't pay & arm & leg for ,you get all the bells & whistles if required & there more concerned about the dog than ensuring we are forced to say yes to pre testing I find these same style clinics hand out drugs like there lollies & over treat to the max

She may have pulled a muscle

I gather they didn't get a puppy check when the pup arrived ?? But i would certainly be asking questioning what happened during the second vacc (providing they had it ) as to whay it wasn't picked up then. Generally some vets diagnose murmurs when there not there but to miss one this bad then i would be pissed

As a comparison that is about 10/15 kg heavier than a Newfoundland & Neo Mastiff. I would certainly be questioning what sort of dogs they are actually producing

I wouldn't leave a clam shell to many have tip over & trapped dogs. We do leave the sandpit pools in the runs,they are more sturdy,can't flip

From our experience of grooming dogs with bad ulcers i would say remove the eye. A number of the dogs we groom have had owners try & save the eye & after a year or more it had to beremoved & yep it is very painful.,In a number of cases the eye specialist recommended eye removal as the better option but not everyone can deal with a one eyed dog We could see the dogs where not happy & once the eye was removed the dogs went back there happy old ways. Ulcers are very painful & at its age i would vote for comfort

Just because you now more shouldn't mean your entitled to both or automatically make a better owner. It may simply mean you took it upon yourself to do more around the house because of your experience but it doesn't mean the other person will be a bad owner straight away . If you discussed this topic & he said he would like one at the time then you need to respect that after all what was the point of bringing up the topic?? It maybe a case of doing a trial & seeing how each party deals with it or the OH may decide that with him working it may not work as well but just because he works shouldn't mean he can't have It likes saying if your not working you can't afford them . You both need to discuss the pros & cons . He has contributed just as much & just because there chipped in your name doesn't mean your entitled ,did he refuse his name being on the chip or was he not given the option?

Have you phoned the breeder to ask for advice on the issues ??If they area good breeder they will answer your questions or atleast assist in the things that aren't going right It is great to see the vet but you can become paranoid & see things that aren't there & that will take away the joy of owning a pup

As above & i would consider seeing a Bowen or doggy chiro

Our bitches will spend hrs out at that age put will pop in/out for a quick top up. Infact we love the bitches that aren't obsessed BUT you must make sure there are no issues like mentioned. We have some girls that are velcro mothers & drive you nuts but most of ours are very chilled & still want to play & be part of the normal routine,The box is in the kitchen so they see & interact as normal with TV on etc etc & just get let to the other side when they ask. Are the pups restless?? Are they very fat ??

The packages to advertise are very cheap in the scheme of things. Yes many do it in the hopes to win more ,many others do it because its one of the options to get your kennel name out there world wide as the mags area world wide thing. But as already mentioned chossing the right picture & then putting together a out there but simple ad seems a bigger issue. So many have all the fancy crap,way to much wording & photo's that aren't the best I have taken ads out & also been lucky to win half/full pages as dogshow prizes .
