What are you wanting to register him on?? If its with the council then just list Shar Pei unless you have some weird rule that proof must be supplied

There was according to post from the Lab people 170 bitches

Agood vet is one that works regulary . We won't use any clinic that has a high turn around of vets . We pick a clinic where the vet prefer is always available unless on holidays etc etc. WE don't use Applecross like we use to,to many staff changes but they offer services that we need so we do keep our foot in that door but use one of Applecross past vets at his own clinic

With food also remember that means treats like Schmacko,s & the likes. Do he have bad ears. What are you washing him in now. Did he itch from the day you brought him home . Regards to licking is it his feet & if so are they sore looking?? Or does he just lick his front legs for example which if nervous could be a soothing tool for him. So many what ifs but even if you go to the vet making a diary of his diet & the likes can be very helpful

We board lots of FIFO dogs & have friends who own dogs with other arrangements that are FIFO workers & they are some of the best dog owners around . We board & groom dogs owned by people who would tick the traditional owners box & they are some of the worst owners around , A good owners is one that does all for there dog no matter what there lifestyle maybe so no i wouldn't judge a FIFO worker solely on there job

There was a rescue group here that still exist but not sure of there policies anymore that wouldn't work with any breed club because they would profit from the dog . They would prefer these dogs to sit for months on end in there shelter & that requires money spent on them than work with a breed club that could easily rehome to people experienced with the breed . This same group also refuses more homes than not for stupid reasons If you don't earn enough,if you work to many hrs Yep how bloody stupid is that We have sold puppies to people refused by this org who are the most wonderful owners. I visit a person with my dogs who was also refused & works from home because heaven forbid the Kelpie x they would be interested in would spend many hours outside with them with the horses. I fondly remember one breed a Italian Spinone that was spayed living for many years in this place all because they wouldn't work with the breeder east who was happy to pay for the dog to be flown home & homed at that stage with someone who already had the breed Here it does seem pure breed snobbery does work & some groups go on this elitist band wagon that they are the be all & end all & forget about the actual dog in need & that if everyone worked together the dog benefits the most which is the most important factor

is the crate in a cold room ??

Perth has 3 ET trials looking at the calendar what a pain

Don't push it , Your pup needs patience ,pushing them to like something will have the opposite effect .There is no rush for your pup to be best friends with any dog BUT it is crucial that your pup meets other dogs even if that just means watching for awhile from a distance . You also need to consider your body language & reaction . Just take him for walks with daughters dog but no play or offleash no interaction.Just walk together & that is it off you go Your daughters dog also needs to learn not every dog means play & some pups are very in your face & over the top , At present its seems the match isn't working but with a time,confidence building & maturity & not rushing things all should be fine. I imagine you have had pup for maybe 2 weeks & the other pup is an established pro

without reading the rules i would imagine it is for dogs that hold a QC in field/retrieving(qualifying card)

The Vic one we print out & place in all our puppy folders

plus the other factor,you either have a good coat or a crap coat no matter what you do Diet first & foremost & how often there maintained . Over conditioning & oiling can do exactly what you are experiencing now. I prefer maintenance programmes than over oiling/conditioning & changing the routine when the season changes are happening or when appropriate . The more crap you put in coats the less it will grow as well. But the breed does make the difference in what one uses & then it comes down to your dog as to what works best ,no product is the best its just a case of what works best on your dog

Does the dog also have bad ears?? Yeast feet here we treat with tinea cream although we rarely get it. The dog we groom with yeasty feet generally also have bad ears & transfer the infection back/forth

We would keep it because it is our problem to manage The expense to any new owner may be massive . If the elbows are an issue then we would get the surgery done ourselves manage the rehab & then after the all clear then look at maybe rehoming . If the issue is so bad that as the current owners we wouldn't do anything then i wouldn't expect any new owner to be placed in a position to either & having to in many ways do the dirty work that someone else wouldn't whether that be surgery,PTS or any option

Family affair here from the big & small. Never had any issues plus our mums still run with the pack during time out anyway

Things to keep in mind if your not in attendance. The person & the dog need to have a special bond,some dogs can totally freak without there owners especially as she hasn't been in the show scene for awhile. Make sure who ever helps is able to show the dog from start to finish ,If the person willing to help clashes with there own dogs that will mean the dog either isn't shown or handed off to someone else who you may not wish to handle your dog. If your paying then there is a certain expectation to be meet by both parties plus the person will need to be offay with Sheltie coat work . There are handlers & handlers so take the time to find the right match
