  1. Most people i now who had semen stored at vets in armadale area have transferred it to Toodyay vet
  2. scrap the tin. have you talked with the breeder??
  3. I own 2 at home & have titled many for others. My 2 at home where grand titled at 2 & 3 yrs,well before there prime.To retire them on the title alone would mean there show career had truly never began. My 2 yr did his biggest winning at 5/6 which is expected in the breed . My other went on to win multi BISS at 4/5 Both also multi BIS winners. I dont breed but campaign my dogs ,what i have is what i show through till retirement. The reality is grand title is no different than Aust ch.If they cant be beaten at either level then it either means the quality of the others isnt there & or they just not ready yet, I would hate to see grand ch retired well before there prime which is what happens to most
  4. It is a great place to see schnauzers,There will be entries aussie wide there. Just keep in mind being a speciality it isnt the easiest show to talk to breeders as they will be busy watching or grooming but it will be an excellent show to see the stock there from varying kennels
  5. We use flora max all the time & i always start the dogs on it before flying eat to shows & continue. The gut is responsbale for so many aspects so caring for it is a good thing
  6. I would never put a 14 yr old through an amputation. Im sorry to say i would sooner enjoy the time with 4 legs & go day by day than put an oldie through all the pain & rehab required with an amputation & learning to walk again.
  7. Clipping a dirty coat also kills the blades quickly. If you dont bath often make sure the dogs are clean before clipping.
  8. The same here .i have chosen the option just say nothing
  9. He is supposed to have fur, he is a Schnauzer, I don't quite get why you want him to look so skun. A #10 is certainly as short as I would go, most that I do I use a #7 and they certainly don't suffer here in the Qld climate. We do #7 in winter but not summer coat grows faster .#7 for most leave it too long unless clients are coming back 5/6 weeks
  10. Its only sperm & if both sides are worried about wearing it then you not in a position to ensure he will be spot on. You are lucky & have big dogs so it is way easier /
  11. There is no miracle coat grower. Growing coats is all about the diet being feed,coat maintenance & the family genes
  12. Puppy was the Staffy . Minor may have been the staffy & the border Puppy.I cant remember but both these breeds won either of those classes
  13. BIS puli RUIS cavie baby Chow minor i think B collie puppy junior GSD inter RUIS Aust BIS open Rotty
  14. Well i would have simply moved away.If you chose to take a dog to a large gathering you have to be prepared for things that can go wrong & deal with it. The minute i felt i was getting blocked in i would have moved anyway because a dog & an auction could lead to something going a stray anyway & still causing a fuss. The kid may have been a monster he may have been bored out of his mind & playing La la or could have had an issue but either way when we take dogs out in public we have to be prepared for the unexpected . maybe im more inclined to think that way as i showdogs & im always mindful of dogs & public places
  15. black to black will produce S/P .We often get S/P in our black breedings because there are very few blacks that are line breed black. I dare say your pedigress arent solid black breedings
  16. Unless your mini has an enormously thick under coat there is no way i would use a #30. We groom alot of minis & i think there is only one we have to use a #30 on & its a black with a horrid coat,generally a #30 will scalp them to nearly bald & then you have the sunburn risk & general itches as it regrows. #15 is again only used on some dogs who have the coat tolerate that size blade. Dont think using a #30 means less often because it doesnt & a #30 is harder to get through a coat that is over grown & increases clipper rash
  17. Thanks, I have posted it there however have been told it is against guidelines to advertise dogs that are not desexed?! Does anyone have any other ideas to find them a new home? Have you contacted the breeder & i would never rehome an entire bitch asking for all sorts of weirdos to want her for the wrong reasons. Spay her now & then weed out the right owners
  18. Yep & would do so for quite awhile. We also find pumpkin better than rice.
  19. #30 on the tummy We groom all pet schnauzers like there hand stripped as different areas grow faster head/neck/bum grows faster than the top coats so we dont do once size all over . We may use a #15 on the bellies but that is only on dogs with an intense coat under there,generally a #10 is fine & going backwards in some areas is fine . How long between grooms ??
  20. Yep my gordon & ES ,scratching tonight going to sit & watch instead
  21. I won both breeds but scratched one from grp specials,he just doesnt deal well with heat so he can stay home tonight
