Most people can't follow offleash etiquette & believe there friendly dog can do as it pleases so you aren't going to stop the other factor either. Plenty on DOL have posted about things they break the law about or believe it doesn't apply to them & they get educated but don't care. Then you have the band wagon brigade who support any new trend when they don't have a clue

Haven't had a dog with this issue but we board many epileptic dogs & those on high doses are like zombies . Was this her first time for seizures because that many in one day is an awful lot if she had no history prior too

If they fly excess baggage you don't pay anything if your plane ticket includes excess baggage already (and if it doesn't its only about $20 to include it), I flew Daisy a few months ago as excess baggage and it cost me nothing. I believe flying through AAE costs the same regardless of whether you fly with the dog or not, but I didn't realise that some airports don't let you fly the dogs as excess baggage through the terminal. It sucks because it adds extra time the dog needs to be crated and Brisbane -> Perth is already quite a long flight Welcome to the world of big dog owners who have had it this way for many years Trust me the cost is not the same if it was my dogs would fly east more often to there breeders to be shown

Depends on the combined weight, Flying dogs isn't cheap anymore as excess baggage ,prices went up about 4 years ago . I use to pay $75 each way for near 50kg now i pay $220 each way

Don't stuff around at the airport. Photo's & the likes can be done at home. It is a very noisy place with alot of activity & you are strangers,People have lost dogs when picking up because they have been to slack . Chances are pup isn't lead trained so walking wont be that simple. We just pick pups up & leave the sooner we get home the better

As the title says excess baggage i presume it is flying with a Person. Yes it can travel that way i fly yearly with my dogs from Perth . Perth has never allowed dogs in the airport they are simply lodged at AAE. I don't think many airports now take dogs via the main building anymore. With AAE you will need to give the details to AAE when booking & they will send via email the paperwork that needs to be filled out & handed over when lodged & an estimated price . I have always booked direct through AAE for dogs ,they have just changed there dog lodging system over

We all do things that are annoying but my biggest pet peeve would be people who allow there dogs to piss up your gear . If it does happen just tell the people ,yes we may be annoyed but i would sooner wash it of whilst wet then fold up my gear & see dried piss up my walls,. I have had dogs wee into my dogs crates whilst in them too ,up chairs,grooming box & anything that in all honesty is set up within a camp so the owners have had to go out of there way to allow it to happen . A little thought goes along way

We had a specialist talk about canine cough & they said the vacc last 6 months . Mind you i do wish the vets would get it right it and call it Canine cough because to many people presume kennel cough means in the kennels only which of course isn't true at all

I would sooner people ask how much & decide they may not be able to afford the breed than spend countless phone calls or emails back & forth only to realize it is out of there price range. When we go buy fridge,cars etc etc we generally look at price first & its either in our price range or it isn't, i don't see why people make such a big deal about asking the price first . What i will say though there is away of asking the price than the one liner .

Depending on the breed many people are still overseas after doing the world dog show & there have been many circuit shows/national shows on so some breeders can be away for a week here & there or judging . Phone again & email again.

We have rehomed older dogs & never regretted it,99% of the time its people who already have one of our dogs & want a mate without the puppy stage or its people who have had ours & lost there last dog but through age don't want a puppy but an older dog . We have placed a number with older people who lost there previous dog & the dogs have lived the loving loyal life We wont just rehome to any tom ,dick or harry especially as our dogs are use to a lifestyle of us being home all the time & other dogs for company . We don't have to rehome any but i do believe some dogs thrive more when this option is workable & with the right home. Rehoming here breaks our heart too but sometimes you now some dogs will thrive in the right home than be part of the pack & left home on weekends or missing out . The joy we get in return is the owners coming back so thrilled with there new mate & it being the perfect solution to there needs & the perfect home for our dog

Drying coats are usually for assisting with a wet coat . Or are you after a satin lined coat to place on dog after its dried fully but to help keep it flat ??

The Pupkus you can try in the in the dog shop but buy cheaper east . For the price it is a great dryer & i have used one for the last 2 years on a number of occasions east to dry up to 16 long coats for shows ,easy to hold the hose as it isn't a thick one We have the oldfield cylinder dryer & they are great as well but the hose is alot thicker & depending on your hand size can be awkward

Ranford we will go for prog test or bee sting emergencies but there not our preferred vets .

Digital doesn't make any difference .If i was to guess i would say your talking about Vetwest . That price is over the top & add the fact it isn't someone who is a specialist in that field either.

Paperwork makes or breaks the success . Use an agent it well worth it especially if things go wrong but phone around. You can do things so it does end up cheaper . Crates can sometimes be brought cheaper (must meet the requirements) You doing the vet runs etc etc. There are things you can do but it dpends on whether you want to do the running around ,it can be time consuming . Get quotes from a number of transport companies

Around the $1000 mark & the dog will have to clear customs at the other end so after a few hrs yes you will see it unless the rules have changed . You will still have the expense of the export procedures(vet checks etc etc)

Well it seems without knowing both sides of the story ( i say sometimes because there can be two sides ) it seems she was involved & is fully aware of her part of deal

I think you need to sit in the middle & look at both sides. Your are disappointed BUT also understand her fears which lets be honest breeders have refused to not return the bitches & maybe they have read horror stories & maybe for them that comment about do they really want the bitch has hit home . There are stories on DOL about breeders terms so it doesn't take much for a person to suddenly fear the worse What would we do Firstly we would contact them explaining that wont be happening that it is there dog & that the contract signed both both parties explains that We would try in a very compassionate manner to ease there mind & see what happens . If that doesn't seem to work then you need to decide what you want . Do you want the bitch to be spayed . Do you want her back Do you want to simply meet the contract terms . What else did your contract state Ie If the bitch didn't meet your expectations & you decided not to have a litter what was written in the contract then about payment ?? What age did you say the litter would happen ?? The people i now who do this sort of breeders terms the people pay for the pup & its listed in the contract the approx age for the litter & once all is done they get a refund back .
