  1. Beef would be the first thing i would drop out. Having said that he may have tinea in his feet & can often head under the belly of some breeds due to it staying moist
  2. All the long hairs i groom i use Liberty Stand dryer with no issues
  3. without seeing coat texture & condition anything from #3,4,5,7 & #10. #8.5 is often handy if matted badly
  4. If its fungal be prepared to spend thousands, We groom a dog who had this issue,yes he is still alive & doing well considering but he is now an epileptic. There bill hit $10000 plus .It returned a number of times but at present its been well over a year since needing treatment again. He did on anumber of occasions come close to being PTS I have to say the dogs nature has changed dramatically & he seems a sad dog but that could be owner created. We also groomed a dog who we picked up cancer of the nostrils & he has sadly passed He hung on for a year after diagnosis ,he did age very quickly though. I do hope your dog test results prove to be a happy ones,its a horrible place to be in
  5. Powder only here.I can mix it better,i find the oil always ends up at the bottom of the bowl & with alot of wastage
  6. Yep dog doesnt understand what you wanted except he had something enjoyable & you headed his way. Most people make the mistake of simply not acknowledging there intentions to the dog & when the react its an issue. Remember the issue is both sides.
  7. The WA dog shop sells them but there pricey ,not sure what they do so well for the price??
  8. They do if you have one points in some states
  9. Use the kids as part of training & distractions. I wouldnt panic too much ,atleast you are honest with yourself so it will make progression way easier.
  10. I dont think the dog shop sells much of the range except dog bait. im presuming the OP wants meals not treats?
  11. . I don't think it would unfair to the breeder to ask for an eye clear certificate for that pup before purchase. If they are in it for the long haul they should be eager to comply. Because in this breed rarely are they eye tested as pups unless there is an issue. We have tested at that age simply due to finding out info about our imports lines & making sure we didnt add a problem. We didnt but the bitch & pups are spayed. Both parents should have eye clearances but with pups you will find a small handful who do it as the need isnt there.
  12. We encourage all our owners to get there new pup vet checked
  13. I now the breeder personally & there not nobs. In our sales contract you have too I'm sorry but once a person buys a dog they can do as they wish, a sales contract 'most' of the time isn't worth the paper it is written on. Sorry I wasn't looking to make anything into a debate, just making a correction to something that was said. I believe in many cases the dog would be better off with the Breeder so I'm not suggesting the Breeder isn't a suitable person....never made mention of that of all, just stating the legal status. Sales contract are worth the paper there written on when done correctly The new purchasers sign it per the agreements & its a binding contract. Our contract has been done & approved via solicitors ,its a case of how much you want to spend fighting it Its seems breeders are dammed if they do & dammed if they dont buy you. If they dont take there dogs back they called names.when its suggested they atleast be informed of whats happening its known of there business. common sense will tell you wont get your money back selling an adult dog nor should rehoming be about that ,its about finding the prefcet home for that individual dog & its needs. The OP seems to be doing a good job thus far & hopefully these people will be the the owners she is wishing for
  14. I think given the age you got her & most likely the lack of interaction & learning with mum pup is most likely becoming more confident & has no clue. For you its a problem & rightly so but one the pup doesnt understand & she is making up for lost time. Be patient,consistent & maybe not the food risks around children especially strangers. If it was me with the beach if my dog was being & turd whilst walking there i would have turned around & gone home. The pup got to be naughty but rewarded by getting "fun". Pay attention to when she nips the most ,sometimes there can be something that sets them off that you can then understand & be ready for
  15. I recently complained to the vet that the only place I could get Eagle Pack from sold puppies. They offered to get it in for me and frankly, given the range of places where it's available, I'd rather the vet got the money. Still waiting on what changes there are to the formula. If you know what they are, perhaps you could say. Or even explain what you mean by the above? There are plenty of places you can get it even online as for changes contact eagle pack but due to food regulations on imported goods various foods places/products have to comply to meet import standards . It may not affect all the range ,it may do . I just now from people who are reps that there will be changes but we no longer feed it so i havent asked
  16. I now the breeder personally & there not nobs. In our sales contract you have too & often we may have people on our list looking for adult dogs or would be able to deal with a dog with issues & that have previous breed experience/knowledge. We have also worked in with breeders east who have sold dogs in different states to access & help again with rehoming to simply ensure the new owners are aware of the breed. The OP has contacted the breeder so that is all that matters. There is nothing worse than finding out second hand that your pup has moved on. We have only had one case & the owners dumped it in a boarding kennel . Luckily we new the kennel owners & the dog has been rehomed & to a super family
  17. I believe there will be major changes with Eagle pack range(not all) due to the international trade thingy. personally i think vets shouldnt sell biscuits or even promote a certain brand.Unless your prices will be competitve for eagle packs & the likes how many would actually buy from there vet compared to other means??
  18. Both parents should hold current eye clearances Not all breeders use the ACES scheme so dont worry there. If there members of the schnauzer club they will be registered breeders ( i now as where members & you have to be a canine member). As in my other post not many do puppy eye clearances but both parents should have current ones. Ours are done yearly or well before a planned mating
  19. Grown kids should now better,i agree let them chase there clothes & take same part of the training. We tell all our new puppy owners kids that if you leave Barbie laying about ,she will likely become legless or headless.You leave your transformers about youw ill here a crunch crunch & the big kids are told dont leave the remote controls on the floor or where a puppy can get it. Has must be puppy proof until such time as it gets it.
  20. Have you informed the breeder though?? I now they would want to now what is happening.
  21. napi san or the likes,any thing will pretty much work & providing you follow obvious after care & hosing out all is fine
  22. Yes. Some breeders will eye test at 6/8 weeks for CHC .It hasnt commonly been done in Australia is it hasnt been an issue but with some new lines here breeders have been. Do both parents hold current eye clearances by a specialist as only an eye specialist can do it??
  23. Defiantly an overkill. At 10 months she should be out walking regularly & building up muscle condition.At her age & nice daily walk on ideally softer surfaces for 20/30 mins at a casual pace would be fine When you do decide to start your going to have to take it slowly because i would gather she isnt in good muscle condition so she will be behind the eight ball. Weighing her food will make no difference at all ,its all about her body weight. be aware that throwing the ball & turning quickly is the common cause of liagment/cruciate issues As for jogging not until 18 months & certainly not before you have worked the dog to a fitness level that can deal with,this would apply even if you exercised earlier. The reality is hips is either going to be an issue or not but dont become so worried you dont enjoy activities with the dog that it needs. You could get the hips/elbows done if you wish but that is your choice
  24. My first advice dont weigh food,each dog is different & you should adjust according to the body weight . It sounds like she is simply not getting enough food & quality foods.
  25. I use the same & all mine start from pups through to death. You need Chondritin for it to work. Another product that my old boy is on & with great success is also human & not cheap but "pain no more" It comes in 2 choices & pick according to your issue but it has given great relief to lad whom im avoiding pain meds until really necessary. He also gets monthly bowen treatment If his hip is sore & inflammed & your dog isnt heavily coated i can also highly recommend rubbing Arnica with comfy on to it
