What exactly are you planning to scissor other than the feet?? For feet only i would just buy Wahl.I use them every day pretty much every day of the week & the last well. We have Jaguar,s but there not cheap but we use them for technical styling

The thing is Kennel are operating 24/7 .When our hours for opening/closing have finished we are still working & people seem to forget that. Irrespective of what time that dog comes in its under your care & covered by your insurance . The dogs get checked before bedtime & in summer depending on the severe heat are still outside at 10 pm (although many kennels dont they shut at 6pm & that is it for the day) We get some dogs that may bark at 2 am ,i will be up there asap seeing why & shutting them in if need be, One has to assume its barking for a reason & to go check especially as you get dogs with medical issues. Kennels aren.t a 9- 5 normal job they work well outside the normal hrs many of there clients would ever consider working themselves. Our day for example starts at 6am & where not finished till 7pm generally latter 7 days a week 365 of the year.Its hard work & often people whinge about the prices & think they should pay a pitence but they have no idea what expenses kennels have BUT a kennel should always offer the basic needs without extra charge unless the dog comes in unrealistic maintainable condition . I certainly now of a kennel that doesnt brush & there highly used ,they reply we dont now how to brush as they own smooth coats.Sda part is those who have used them have ended up with matted dogs that are beyond hope & need clipping off which should never happen There are plenty of wonderful kennels out there but everyone has a different idea,have different council rules & different set ups & its finding the right facility for that dog. We have long coats so brushing isnt a big deal for us & we have all the gear . At peak times some of the larger kennels will have staff to just answer the phone/invoice because the reality is people want you to give there dog plenty of attention but answer the phones aswell & during the severe heat kennels are very busy ensuring the dogs are all stable & coping. We tell people to call & we suggest a time that works well after all we would get people ringing all times of the day & night forgetting time differences & wanting to now how Fred was going. At 2am im not a cheery person & some would take offence that you didnt chat longer . No sorry form them just how is my dog .

Smooth or long should make no difference. If the dog comes in knot free it should leave in the same condition. If the dog is in a monster coat & the kennel isnt good at coat work then they should say no. The problem is most kennels hose whilst the dogs are still in the runs & they get wet & matt easy. With ours there either in there outside yards or shut in there sleeping area so they dont get wet & the runs are scraped dry. It seems in the east that kennels are getting very greedy & charging for things that are part of basic animal care. We run kennels & arent open sunday morning .Most kennels arent.One needs to appreciate we work 7 days as it is 365 days of the year so i think kennels are more than entitled to have one morning session off. Nearly all the kennels i now dont charge per night ,its daily irrespective of time picked up so you would have been charged for 6 days .Many changed to this method after people trying to pull shonkies & getting argumentative when turning up late If the dog went in knot free & came out with knots then complain ,we check all coated breeds before they come in & knot on there sheet if the coat is in bad condition & give the owners a choice of what they can have especially if long term. Weight is easy to loose many dogs run it off quickly but gain good muscle condition but if you feel it lost excessive weight then again ask

Shade sails all the way,if you buy quality you will get better shade & coolness than many trees,less mess & can be removed in winter f need be. We have just installed 2 very big ones in our big yards & on 40 degree day they where divine ,ours are 90% & quality

My dogs as do many never run offleash & are more fit than most are.They are walked,biked but never off leash. Offleash can often be the lazy mans form of exercise & one should make sure what offleash exercise actually equates too & that doesnt mean a casual stroll sniffing at every tree which many call "offleash". Walks in our house is about being constructive

totally agree

The wandering jew needs to go asap. What do you feed?? Have you discussed the issues with the breeder?/ Does the dog go for wlaks & what sort of area??

Scrape the harness & just get him use to the collar. When we are training our babies(who never have collars) on we head outside & train there as its a fun place & they can venture on there own & follow.We dont do it inside.

If that sounds the way it reads why would anyone allow a dog to travel that way help or not??

We dont use rice ,we use pumpkin . We cook pumpkin & chicken. As already mentioned his system would be gutted so i wouldnt panic at present if he hasnt passed anything but certainly keep an eye on it

Also appreciate not every body nows those details except those posted. It isnt the end of the world & im grateful for anything posted . generally once someone has Cat they will post proper names but again thats only if there confident in the correct name .

I dont own theme but have seen them at the shows over the years & are friends with people that do breed & show. The most important thing is not to under estimate the breed ,they need owners who are dedicated to The BRT needs & nature. There is alot of grooming needed. basically the BRT is like a Bouvier

Years ago I had an old shepherd who's arthritis always played up in summer I put it down to him laying on the concrete more to keep cool and he seemed to be more active as well so this probably agrivated his joints even more. Also remember the air con if there inside

Mine is on weekly to 2 weeks

Im surprised it doesnt fit into the Getz,Is that with the seats still up?? Otherwise get a trolly hitch for the tow bar & then it doent have to go in the car

I agree something is not right. What breed??

One day I'm going to go with you MM! The gundog cluster over the WKC weekend would be good plus the setter nationals but im a chicken to leave home so there a dream Hopefully they will live stream the shows again

I dont have any,i am happy to say the people we dealt with where very up front & honest & our owne reserach meant no surprises . Although the one thing we stress to our puppy owners ** Your buying a dog not a baby human** & treat it with the respect it deserves

att Norton & Linda Beer wouldnt happen to be part of that bunch?

To be honest I'd rather them not take the puppy at the end of the time if they really didn't want it... Agree

I use Bowen & have one the top in there field treating my dogs monthly. Bowen has many fly by nights so getting a good one is an art Mine is in WA but often there is a long wait associated with her

The Melb cup cluster shows

Nadz talk to your breeder about diet.Not all breeds thrive on certain brands no matter how good the ingredients sound. many breeders guarantee there pups if feed the diet recommended unless there has been a discussion why the change. What diet does your breeder feed??

We do pre arrange aswell.We will work in with people even if last minute & the reason is beyond there control & in the pups best interest but if the reason isnt something we consider reasonable then yes we will ask for something. The only time we wont ask is if the dog hasnt been picked & we are running 2 of the same sex on & it works well for us. basically we work case by case

I believe you will find that if the pet shop is PIAA registered breeders can sell through them. Not sure of the exact facts but pretty sure there is an avenue & then they negotiate papers after wards
