Dont make a time,your vets are well aware of the situation & if you feel the time has come they will be very accommodating. Some will come to your home at this time. I would suggest deciding what you want to happen . Will you bury or cremate? Which company would you use if that is the path you choice?? Arrange in advance that its a waiting game but you have chosen there services(if this is your option). Its a horrible time waiting & having a girl with bone cancer years ago you truly dont now how long but you do now when its time & as hard as it is you now the right decision is being made . Its horrible news but take every day you have & enjoy it

i now many that do the parvo aspect themselves

Where you selling it as pet or showdog?? If it was pet home why wasnt she going spayed in the first place??

Hey! if you're not a PIAA member (the people that host/run it...) its usually around $950 or so for all the days/events... My mum attended one when held in our state ,especially went due to the stripping aspect .What a total waste of money,time & loss of income for the day. It wasnt true hand stripping but carding & even then carding is alot of bolony. They tried to demo on a dog we breed9not owned by us) that hand been clipped for nearly 9 yrs,the dog didnt have the coat nor texture to have this technique used & they didnt seem to care, Having owned stripped breeds for 25 yrs it was a very disappointing display for wannabe groomers or groomers hoping to learn a new skill. You really need to decide what exactly you want to learn & expect to learn because it also covers how to colour dye etc etc

I hope so.my irish/english are multi BIS winners so would be nice for there new mate to join the trend

setters currently english & gordon with a mascot visitor my retired irish

Considering the young dog im showing exceeded all my expectations for 09 the only options for him in 2010 is BIS but given his age & breed this could be a hard one but already being a grp/ruig winner under 20 months anything is possible

So the ones of yours who dont maintain contact what do you do?/ In all reality the pet photos you get sent dont tell you anything ,especially if its just fido sitting in the arms of the owner.It doesnt tell you if there mouth is good,eyes are clear,hips/elbows etc etc.I tells you there well loved but not what we are looking for. Everyone would like to keep contact but you cant force owners who have paid for a dog to be at your beak & call & insist they keep in touch ,i want our puppy buyers to feel they can contact us at anytime without being pushy & be there when it counts.

No we dont ask or expect any of our buyers to send photos or keep in touch,we certainly encourage the fact we are there for help/after sale care & general info & that is in our puppy folder & the greater majority do phone if they have an issue but as for photos generally the only time is with the spay paperwork. We follow up after they have left but in all reality once the pup has left i dont believe we have any right to demand updates nor annoy people unless some form of arrangement was made or there was something in the sale aspect that would mean both parties would be involved for different purpose. Im gathering as the pup is on mains that it was purchased for a reason & something discussed between both parties Having said that i think there is some part of the situation missing here which could make the whole issue different. I personally cant figure why the breeder is supposedly harrassing for no reason on photos,that seems odd & not normal but you not replying also is just as odd yet coming on here to happily vent & ask

Euk stuff is proganda from PETA dont get fooled. There is testing & testing & if you do a serach you will see that topic on here. I dont feed Euk but this comes up every so often

Just pray they eat it LOL Chis are notorious weird eaters so be prepared to having to adjust if need be. Also realise they arent big eaters so watch the quantities in that there not over feed . Having said that what diet where they feed before you got them??Changing too quickly can create tummy issues so be careful to adjust slowly for the dogs sake

What say above obviously isnt enough for this pup & he has got into the trained routine of coming in. Unfortunately OH desire not to be more helpful just makes it harder & more confusing for the pup. Our pups will do many pees & sometimes after one pee you need to do something to break there train off thought & then go back to the toilet command. Also for some pups the attention of toileting inside is reward alone. Some will crave the attention of simply being in trouble so maybe look at what attention pup is getting & whether its being over done/under done or maybe to much expectation which is confusing it or the pup simply hasnt fully figured out the toilet routine. Will the pup have access outside or will your training be reliant on him alerting you to outside?

What issues does she have. Athritis,heart any med issues that make it harder??? All our oldies take longer in the morning to rise,they are normallly active by mid morning because there active till late.Whilst we work from home where up the back & generally arent in the house fully till midday by which time our oldies new that & would be ready for there time till night. Your girl could need some meds our is simply in a routine of your daily schedule

Now you're being nasty! The question was only asked with the intention of causing trouble, and to find a reason for another dol slaughtering. I can understand why Bub chose not to answer. I dont think so,for many of us who have followed Bubs post over the years we all new that the second dog they had was Bubette,now there is no Bubette but a Bit bit so i gather like many one is curious whether something tragic happened or if Bit bit was Bubette with a name change? No conspiracy there. But as Bit bit is only about 8 months it is now obvious there not the same dogs

What did you use before they reacted?? What are you using now??

The guides mean nothing when budgeting,each food varies on each dog & what works for one may be to little or much for another. Here we simply feed what works

It would be extremely rare to have schnauzer bumps,it isnt a problem seen in Australai but well known in the US. Do you feed Beef?? What diet do you feed. We breed minis & groom alot & see this problem often with a poor diet

The is a mini schnauzer club in QLD & many of the breeders do groom.There is also a Yahoo list called schnauzers australia you can join & talk all things mins. They have schnauzers picnicsup there

.Although it would nice if many actually owned books ;) far to many groomers dont even own grooming books that would still give them good basics.They groom with no knowledge or even reference. As a schnauzer breeder they certainly have to be one of the most butchered breeds around & the reality is they shouldnt.it isnt that hard yet groomers seem to make it very hard. The worst is those that insist on giving owl eyes & trimming the beards,they have no idea how hard it is to grow it back.Those 2 areas just dont grow like the rest & can take years to grow back to what was trimmed off

totally agree. Remember you not the only good dog owner around & spoiling them or over humanising creates issues. The dog we board love to come because for a short time they get to be dogs & they enjoy every minute of it

yes phone the breeder,the breeder will most likely ask what sort of tests have been done to confirm parvo or whether there treating it as parvo without testing at present? was it a breeder or pet shop??

Contact your breeder & ask if they now anyone who grooms minis,sadly this breed is constantly butchered by groomers who have no clue. Does your breeder do grooming?? Our minis go fully groomed at 8 weeks so no it isnt to young.Most of our puppy owners come back to us our we now a handful that can groom a mini well & pass there names on.

All our pups are walk onleash at the same age.offleash is great BUT not every dog can or is able to have this option. Also for some people there yards are fairly small so getting out is a must.It is also excellent socializing to the outside world. One km isnt far providing you arent over doing it & he is walking on soft surface aswell.If at any point he looks tired then dont keep going.remember metal games & teching tricks(shake hands etc etc) are also great concentration games & fun between both parties

The with doors is the door itself,many are very heavy & solid & many dogs dont like this. Ours is soft/clear vinyl & no issues at all for all age stages & when someone gets wacked it doesnt hurt or frighten them. When we did havea solid door we occy strapped it up until the dogs had the idea & then introduced the door
