Problem is whilst you walk you spread it.

Also if your vet is a good one they wont want you in the waiting room. leave dog in the car & go inside,dont take the dog in at all. Most vets will have signs stating this. Yep communal water bowls are a no go here too

Page 16 of todays paper is an ad,you also hav eto join the club

You have now learnt why Std Schnauzers are one of the most intelligent breeds around. Owners generally fail this variety due to there extreme thinking skills & desire to succeed Std schnauzers are loyal to there owners & feel the need to be with them. I would consider crate training during the nights & getting pup into a pattern of where he belongs Are you doing training with him??

Yep agree with Nekhbet,dogs feed of people who are confident,rewarding & show respect. Sounds like your dog is very confused thus feeling calm with 2 people who respect the dog as a dog .

What until you sit at shows for 5 plus

Word of warning to all with Oztrails. I have seen 6 or 7 over the last couple of weekends buckle under the weight when the canopy fills up during rain. The frames just crumbled and were basically thrown away due to the damage... Anything will buckle thats why you need to ensure any huge gatherings are removed.We do when it gets bad but its very rare

I do have an article about the percentage ratio during atrial but i cant find it which is peeving me off as it has other great info on this topic

Ours has never leaked but if i lived east & showing outside alot i would buy the rain roof. I have shown in some down pours & its been fine & used with the gutter to join 2 even better

4 vacc?? What has been used

The reason the product was suggested in my breed was simply to try & give that extra bit of help whilst travelling to the vet or being in an area not close to facilities. Its all about timing & knowing when to get help asap

It will never stop but you can certainly improve the amount of shedding by brushing with the right tools. Making extra effort during coat change season aswell

Maybe ask your state correspondent for the mags to write about it. Simple part about manners or the lack off.

i keep de gas in the grooming box,i believe the key to the right product was it must contain a certain ingredient & for the life of me i cant find that article

Yes he will learn that some adults where never taught manners. People like that make me sick and I would never excuse their behaviour as "people will be people". Its no excuse but he will meet many rude people & school will also be a place of rude/bad behaviour & kids with bad manners. A good tool is to learn from these experiences that will make him a better person. Club also did good by sending an adult the next day. Yes they shouldnt have to but raffle selling is often greeted with the word no.It really is a horrid job,why do you thinks the adults often offload it to the kids ;) I remember being sent around to sell raffle tickets & most where great.polite a small handful rude but in the end the good outweighed the bad & i couldnt dwell on the bad side. The bad will always be there that is reality.

This is a reality he will have to learn no matter what.people will be people some more brutal than others. Maybe next time send an adult with him,i now often the kids get sent because the adults are busy but a confident adult who can introduce said child to those in the now makes a big difference

yes i got similar comments for years from the club i attended about training /trialling Irish Setters.

Are they dog lovers & will be happy to have a dog indoors??

Ours greys always smashed there tails. vet wrap & a hair roller(or the toilet roll inside) wrap & leave. We used 3% hydrogen peroxide from shop/chemist & all would heal well except one whose tip died & was removed

I would simply start Ruby sleeping elsewhere simply due to the unknown. Simply look at all the things she does now & look to the alternative. Does she spend independent time outside on her own?and im not referring to turning her to an outside dog but enabling her to be more functional on her own,able to amuse herself without you when the time is required. We always suggest pushing the pram & working on the sit/wait commands. Baby crying CD,s to allow Ruby to hear the horrid noise without panicking. What room will the baby spend most of its time in?? Will it be mainly yours or simply only at night?? I would be reducing the access to any rooms now that she has that may suddenly be a no go latter on. Ie no doubt there will be times you will havea nap when baby is alseep,what will you want Ruby to do ?? Does Ruby have a doggy door or easy access outside or is she reliant on you to open doors/speak to be let out?? In the car if you dont use a doggy seat belt or the likes then start now as you dont want Ruby jumping on baby

On planes yearly .In my state its only one show on the weekends so no options so if a country circuit then 4 hrs drive

with this do you imagine on the chair with you or on the floor?? for example my english setter fits what your saying(but there not for everyone )he will curl up like a cat with his head on my lap enjoying being touched/stroked. At present he is curled up in bed next to me . Having said that our lounge suit seats 8 plus has a lay shay style end so that where my setters head ,the other dogs go all over & that means enough seats for me LOL ,

ii would make a list of what you really want from your dog, ie walking/running/jogging hairy/needs professional grooming/easy care the time realistically you would get to spend each week what impact the weather seasons would have in the coat care or the breed as to how it will cope or the facilities you will need to provide. how many hrs each week your happy to put aside grooming Then keep doing the dogshows & some breeds will start to interest you more & more. I have had my own dogs since 13

full time groomer but from our business i could never do mobile & yep back breaking/joint killing industry

I would suggest heading off to a dog show & take brother because no matter what he will play a part in your pups future. Some dogs aren.t cuddly & you cant make them cuddly,there not stuffed teddies. but will accept pats We board many Mastiff breeds & i wouldnt call them cuddly.They love there people & there always close buy but not cuddly. My friend breeds newfs & even those arent what i would call cuddly,again very people orientated & love to please but still happy to have space I have big dogs who drool which doesnt worry me but many people dislike being covered in slim,slim up the walls,the roof,bench tops,furniture you name it,it dries like a snail trial & sticks like clue. Besides normal weekly house cleaning a few hrs is spent washing down the walls . We have boarded alot of Berners do agree they are easier than the other 2 breeds mentioned & i do think more touchy/feely.
