30 people is busy,loud and overwhelming to a pup and this is where people don’t think from a dog perspective. If this was a baby/toddler you wouldn’t expect it to be cuddled,carried,hugged by 3 or 30 people who are strangers . You would be more guarded and manage. The most bomb proof pups can go pear shaped without direction,respect . in fact it makes owners some what slack in presuming bomb proof means ready to deal with what the world offers . People who smoke,smell,strong perfumes/aftershave,people with health issues that a dog can sense and smell.People who aren’t dog savvy,no knowledge on how to pat,behave properly . These things can greatly alter a pup that’s left on its own to cope . All these aspects develop with age and that’s when owners need to teach the next stage or feed the brain . Evem with our bomb proof showdogs we have to keep educating to the world and things that aren’t really normal expectations

Problem is owner isn’t savvy otherwise they would have better understood the overwhelming expectations they placed on a pup that would not have been managed or monitored in the pups best interests. It know has reached a limit off not having the coping skills to deal with happenings that weren’t managed . I doubt she was relaxed but just compliant to what it was made to do . I agree drugs have there place . Owner needs to decide what they expect from this dog in regards to the effort they want to do . If they want it to be a cafe dog it’s not going to happen without them putting the training in and learning to understand the dogs body language and mannerisms for needing time out and time at home . it needs a safe zone at work

Why are you using Malayan though ,it’s not for all issues . We bath our minis and recommend selsum blue . I only use the F10 on a dog with yeast issues .

Never seen it happen but anything is possible but I find it useless stuff and harsh prefer F10 shampoo

Let’s look at it another way whilst they may be a water breed at some stage in life they get old and drying off isn’t as simple and easy . This doesn’t mean they live in a coat but circumstances may making a coat a good option if running through the heavy rain to a vet appointment ,a toilet run on a icy cold miserable day . I don’t think it’s a yes / no answer but it can be a good tool at the right moment .

My boy has been on meloxicam for 6 months . Had another on it for 2 years it’s my preferred go to pain meds as reaction seems to be small compared to other choices .

All my vet nurse friends did the tafe course . If you really want to get a good answer ask your vet what they look for or better still look at vet nursing jobs advertised and what requirements there asking for

Did the breeder suggest this diet .? Food can trigger some dogs but at 3 months . Just like people who use treats with food colouring . The puppy school should be teaching you self control exercises and teaching calm time to its class .. What has the trainer said or suggested . Has the trainer said the dog is not normal in its activity level at this point . The people suggesting it’s hyper what are there dogs like boring,scared,no zest for life . Pups get excited and yes there owners need to teach zest with manners. If the dog is truely behaving above a normal hyper level it and the people saying it are qualified and experienced enough to say so without it being about them pushing another brand it’s worth hearing and digesting .

I guess the other factor is low shedding important or not .

Did you ask the breeder ? One of the reasons unless in the dogs best interests to follow the diet sheet the breeder gives and marrowbones are the worst for dogs full stop ,full of marrow and to hard on the teeth . Then add another diet change your pups gut is just hit a brick wall and will dehydrate quickly. Go to strict bland pumpkin and Turkey and reintroduce the breeders suggested diet slowly Added with the turfed outside the pup is having the raw end of the deal .

Std Schnauzers are a true working dog ,good temp is due to great owners . yes they are good therapy dogs but that isn’t a given . They need there outlet time and mental stimulation. Soft Coated Wheaton Terriers could work . Petit Bassett Griffen Vendeen. I guess it also comes down to the people it’s needing to cope and an adapt too

Depends on what kind off breeder they are and members off what or members off nothing in relation to orgs . But the very basics vaccination and microchip paperwork .

I think the OP means “ pet only” not pup only . Which means the breeder clearly sold the dog as a pet only not for breeding . Without you health testing you actually can’t claim fully healthy for breeding . Breeding Frenchies is expensive so if the massive price difference shocked you then you better be prepared for the breeding bills and health testing bills .

Yep the implant has been well discussed on many sources . Besides also shrinking testicles lasting longer and fertility issues . I would never ever use it on a breeding animal

I tend to agree I would be trying the steroids to just get on top off it and go from there . They can do a low dose .

What kind off bowls.Metal,porcelain,plastic. Is the water bowls the same . tags on collars ?. try feeding on a paper .plate,licki mat or on paper towels . We actually boarded a Malt that around age 7 wouldn’t eat from a bowl anymore but on a plastic floor mat

Lymphoma progresses quickly . Sadly Berners are high on the list and you have done very well for her to get too 9 yrs . My advice understand the effects the chemo can give your dog,don’t be fooled into the dogs don’t have side effects line as they can . I had a dog with lymphoma,she survived 3 months before it was all too much . She was 3 years . We have no regrets opting for quality memories and enjoyable times . Our vet is very down to earth and made it clear the chemo would not save her and it was very advanced . The vaccine is a great long term hope not sure it’s quite there yet as I own a breed that was used as a priority in the trials due to the higher incidence of this disease . Fingers crossed for the time you have what ever path you decide .

Is this the same dog that had teeth removed. Otherwise I would be worried and want further investigation.

Human emotions is often why dogs get screwed up . All my dogs are taught to be crated overnight because it’s a great tool . vet stays if overnight require a crate unless you use a vet who does free range stays and doesn’t worry about IV’s ,drips,drains,open wounds . Some dogs will destroy things overnight ,I would sooner a dog allowed indoors and crated than turfed outside at bedtime . so surely that comes under life saver,sanity saver,safe place . All our puppies from birth to homing have learnt about safely being contained ,we encourage all our owners to continue crating or penning overnight until puppy has learnt to be safe . Most dogs don’t need to be crated but then often the owners against crating overnight will happily shut them in the laundry for the night and see that is superior . I say if an owner is crating overnight they have there reasons,they may rent,dog may be destructive,still a puppy or it’s simply the best of the alternatives.

Does the cavalier have anxiety issues

Schnauzers shouldn’t have a body odour . This is not normal ,what does the groomer say about the coats

Oily is very obvious especially when clipping them . What sort off lotion are you putting on . Yeast can cause these issues so ideally you need decide why . Thyroid issues can cause massive yeast issues . Food,oatmeal shampoos feed the yeast .

No to marrow bone depending on breed may end up with a very sick dog due to the marrow and the bone is too hard on the teeth . You can try stock feeds and stuff for horses to not chew but looks like the wood inside is not functional. May be better to get some aluminium sheeting and attach to that area or even heavy duty rubber

We never feed by calculations ,we feed based on the dog,the seasons,the work load , and it’s body condition. If your rotating your meats there shouldn’t be a need to make it too hard . If I feed based on the calculations all my dogs would starve to death

You will be dealing with the excitement and issues for weeks to come . Pup deserves it’s time at pick up and yes as a breeder your dog wouldnt be allowed on the property and I would be annoyed if you just turned up with it . Let the pup deal with the change ,manage the meet n greet at home very simple . pup goes in the backyard when you get home to toilet see the yard and the other family member deals with older dog either going for a walk ,feed time and a slow meet n greet ,no guarantee your older dog will like the pup ASAP
