We boarded many Pitbulls with super owners & they where an absolute delight to be around. A number where owned by very high up doctors (certainly very few by drug dealers ) We have boarded many other breeds that if i didn't now the breed better would put them on the "never own "list,Owners who have created monsters . The fact is it doesn't matter if you don' get it,there are many responsible Pit bull owners out there .there are breeds you have listed that many people wouldn't own & have temp issues they just don't hit the headlines. One breed in particular you have listed is well known for temp issues & biting Work in the dog grooming field for a week & you will have a whole different opinion

the 3 yearly is the basic vacc & you needt to get the canine cough done yearly People should check the prices though some vets are charging over the top prices for the 4 yearly & it can end up expensive, Many of our clients brings there bills with them & many are paying around the $130 plus mark for it which is There is much debate over how the 3 yearly is made up & whether its the same just turned into a 3 yearly or more you rarely get the same answer from even those in the field

yes one of mine has had three yearly & the co owner/breeder is a vet. Mason as far as show handling classes go pick wisely. classes should be about learning not being made to feel stupid or the dog handled in a manner that is over the top Go down and watch ,you have tuesday with Helena or thursday with wolfproud/spitz club ask your breeder as well Better still if you own a video camera or similiar videos the Labs at the shows

We never do the booster & we show our pups from 3 months. 5 weeks never heard of any breeder doing them that young especially on a pup so small .

Anyone Here Show Their Gsd In The All Breeds Shows?
Dogsfevr replied to loveretrievers's topic in General Dog Discussion
GSD have done very well in the All Breeds ring in Perth . I showed my GSD All Breeds only before he retired & he was a big winner when the breed numbers where 20 or more. His breeders showed Multi All Breeds BIS winners on a consistent basis. The problem i see with a number of the GSD shows All Breeds in Perth is there ring manners aren't exactly pleasing on the eye,they shouldn't be pulling like crazy with legs going in all directions . Loose lead ,free baiting & picture perfect & any GSD will do well if its a good rep. -
Yep snake season never ends & i now of 3 dogs already killed by snakes .the warmer weather just makes them more active & seeking food so often more cranky at this stage

I would suggest shorter walks with plenty of treats. It sounds like the dog hears the same old same form you that it means nothing or your boring & the outside world is more interesting to the dog. If the dog is food driven then take plenty of treats & use it to your advantage to maintain attention & to teach the dog to listen. It does sound like you need assistance to understand where your going wrong & the sooner the better

Kennel solution may not work if they haven't brought there vacc card with them or the dog isn't current. If the dog is current then there vet should be able to fax/email a vacc copy.

we had Beddies who luckily where clear but besides the diet you need to also watch your water supply as generally people have copper pipes.

Acd Joint Problems In Young Dogs

One suggestion would be if the dog is due to be vaccinated get it done before you head to Karratha & maybe consider the 3 yearly,the vacc prices up there are bad. I would also stock up on Heartworm meds & tick meds before you get there,perfect weather for heartworm & they have brown dog ticks up there often in plague form . Not sure what you feed & what your happy to adapt to

Because we live in a world that sues at a drop of a hat & we have to many owners who don't consider others & allow there dogs to annoy other clients. My dogs sleep on the bed etc etc BUT i also see how many of our clients treat our facilities when they enter ,They allow there dogs to piss up our BBQ,out door settings,doors the list goes on. The small minority leave an ever lasting mark . We are use to dog hair in our coffee & the things that go with dogs but i also appreciate not everyone else is & have no issues with places being a no go for dogs because the way i see it is if i can take my dogs then people with pet rats,ferrets etc etc should also be able to take there pets & i now many a dog person who wouldn't agree to that

Showing Breeds In Different Groups?
Dogsfevr replied to Crazy Daisy's topic in General Dog Discussion
When i started in juniors i started with Irish Setters & Whippets ,nearly all the kids in my era grew up handling large breeds. I have trained juniors too & tabling can be done it really comes down to the child & how much the like to help themselves(ie some are really keen & work around it others just don't have the grunt to try ). Also consider the dog you buy now will be the one for the next 5/7 yrs if it turns out well especially for juniors so the breed picked ideally needs to be something the child still wants to handle as they get bigger -
head off to a dog show

As far as the homophobic thread we have only heard one side of a story so i don;t believe anyone can state black/white that is the actual reason at all & to be honest if the reason isn't true than i feel for that breeder . As an interest the dog world has alot gay couples / breeders & are wonderful dog ambassadors & super people Selling a pup is about both parties ticking the right boxes . The fact there are plenty of reasons that some people won't sell. I now a rescue org that won't sell if your income is under a certain amount but also won;t sell if you work long hrs. These that won;t sell with young kids,outsdie dog only etc etc If its a genuine reason to the breeder then its there choice whether one agrees or not ,after all they have to feel happy with the pup going there Some reasons may well be trivial or silly but each to there own.
