  1. Okay turn the scenario around ,you want to breed so what will you be doing when people phone with any issues you have breed?? I gather you brought the dog from a breeder who health tests & has done everything in there power to breed a healthy dog or did you just buy from any breeder that would sell you a main pup that you could breed with?? As the breeder i would be asking you to get a written report from the vet with there exact findings . I wouldn't be phoning the breeder unless you can actually explain the findings correctly or the right terms . How old is the dog??Has she been shown & does she limp or show any signs of issue
  2. 1. Held under the Rules and Regulations of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW and Dogs NSW. In the event of a conflict the Regulations of the RAS prevail unless otherwise determined by the Committee. This is on the info pack we got so i gather they decided to award to there or all agreed
  3. I don't think anyone knows why considering how many on FB where asking who won 3/4 . It seems it was a well kept secret
  4. liquid tears gel ,no drops they run out & leave very little in the eye.The gel stays for longer & use more so over night
  5. we get alot through boarding that don't resemble what they claim. Yes we do tell them & let them make there own choice simply because most are microchipped as *** breed/mix & if found you would never ever list it as that breed or say Yes we have something like that in the pound/vets etc etc. Not many do anything about it but they can't say they weren't told.
  6. Yep she needs to learn inside/outside rules & the more time she spends inside the more she will learn the rules & the more you as a family will read the signs plus learning better house manners as a puppy is easier than when a big adult. Don't worry about the cold ,the weather will only get worse so you need to train now whilst the weather is still good. Generally dogs do give signs but you need to learn them (running around looking for a spot) & if you aren't seeing them then train her so both understand what is wanted If she doesn't have access to outside then you need to teach her the rules of going to the door & making it fun & outside for wees. If your home during the day i would consider allowing her more in time during the day to start teaching her the rules because its far easier than at night when people tend to "forget" or its cold * no one wants to move . At present her routine for nigh is toilet inside & she doesn't understand any different,the laundry could also be cold which won't help with training Don't growl but don't fuss if a mess is made because reality is its everyone's fault pup has toileted inside. You need to stand outside until something happens ,walk around but no games ,toilet time is that,If nothing happens bring her inside on a leash sit down for a few minutes then go outside again with the key words ,it will happen .
  7. Also keep bloat in mind ,it can slowly build up have been there done that
  8. Trailer for crap & car for dogs . That is what i do I take 2/3 dogs in car & tow a 6 berth trailer I have just returned from NSW showing There was no royal repeat for my boy but his brother won so all happy there We won RUBISS at The Setter show under a US gundog specialist . And i collected the award for Australian Show Gordon of the year awarded at the shows so a very happy time
  9. The Setter Club of NSW judge D Kittredge (USA) BIS Irish Ch Tullane Might & Power RUIS Gordon Grd Ch Deveron Amazingly Easy
  10. I can't suggest anyone but i do now one club used students studying film at uni/tafe to video & edit a dog show & it worked at well & it was used as part of there course marks
  11. I would consider around $10 000 to be a reasonable figure to work with maybe more The US has flight restrictions for certain weather stages so keep that in mind as well.
  12. Any dog will chase your cats ,drive has nothing to do with . Infact of all the breeds we have owned the only safe ones around cats where the Greyhounds . The breeds you have listed are all so different in size & needs. If you don't have hrs to spare then factor in coat care . Keeshond need a good few hrs a week for brushing . Briards are big powerful dogs with lots of coat again a few hrs each week. Lagottos need hair cuts so factor in the expense. Tollers easy coat care but are thinkers Brittany easy coat care & again thinkers. Infact of all the things you have listed the Whippet would fit the couch potato aspect the most & the other areas,great with toddlers & small enough they can enjoy the dog
  13. Yep flea rinse is meant to remain on & blow dryers warm up with use . I use dryers every day & rarely use the heat option as it is very hot
  14. At 8 months i would still expect him to grow ,he should certainly be starting to fill out but generally Labs at 8 months are going through the fugglies & look all legs with a tube body & start to come back into shape from 10 months . But each dog is different but even with my guys i have only had 1 stop growing at 10 months
  15. You must buy tickets for Contest of winners as its a sit down event at tables ,Anyone wishing to just watch will be asked to leave .
  16. Time to stop it being a game & time to set the rules,'At 5 months she is old enough to be learning & setting her up for success with age . If your breeder will help you take it up PROVIDING yopu want to clip yourself otherwise decide how you want her groomed & source a groomer who will do it that way. Are you wanting the top coat hand stripped?? Has the breeder shown you how to work on the top coat ?? Our are you after simple & easy clip off?? The training will make & break how you groom her yourself long term ,badly behaved often end up matted & not worked on as its to hard work (spent 3 hrs clipping of a cocker this morning because it plays to for the owners ,it came off like a sheep ) Do you groom her on a bench/table that is non slip ?? or on the floor/knee??
  17. The problem is they grow like weeds ,mine is getting bigger & bigger & puppy cuddles not as easy on the lap now
  18. There are plenty of mobile ,most arent good & i doubt to many will allow you to stay & watch.It is harder work to groom a dog with the owner sitting there or walking about ,Dog moves & the risk of an accident is to high plus it takes far longer . Plus many groom in there van or trailer so no extra space for people If you want to watch to learn then you need to ask the groomer because explaining things as you go is very time consuming & you would get charged more . They should be listed in the yellow pages & then its a case of pot luck
