It is more common than people want to believe & often affects young pups during teething. I think it has been discussed here before.Try the search section up the top

better pets sell coprice(canning vale) & if your a canine member you get discount

WA doesnt get cobber,great barko,uncle albers

We dont get great barko in WA so dont bother looking. Coprice has been a good budget brand available from better pets & gardens.Other than its trial & error. We use to use through the boarding but it doesnt cut it any more.The coprice is way better. We have aselection of budget to premiun for the kennels as all dogs are different

All sizes still prepared the same.The only difference is stds from some lines tend to have truer coats.You will still need to trim feet,bum,work on tail etc etc even if a baby

Even at that age your minis full coa still needs to be worked on. You will also need to clip the throat,bum area & ears(some handstrip ears,we dont). Then scissor the feet,face,eye brows etc etc. Many minis are shown in a great baby coat but you do need to work on it weekly until it has blown completely.For some this is sooner than latter. Your breeder should be your first point of call ,if in another area ask your breeder if they now someone in your area/s that may be able to help.If your breeder has never shown then you will need to find someone who can guide you through the process of what tools,how to strip & stripping a coat to your dogs faults. There is a schnauzer forum in the breed specifics with a few of us schnauzer showies. We have shown minis for nearly 25 years

Doesnt matter what the breed is leash control should be there .This owner should be applauded for being a DOG owner who is considerate off all. Do you shorten Ivys leash when people go past??

You can tell if its bad trust me

Depends which vacc has been used,often the third one isnt required. We show our pups from 3 months.we start walking ours up/down the roads at 8 weeks. I would say the 20 meters is just atad too long at present. Often better to make it it short & sweet & very fun. Also just sitting out the front on lead does wonders for confidence allowing them to see things,hear things & watch things.

Clipping wont make her cooler looking at that coat.A good brush with a comb or undercoat rake will remove the coat that is dead & building up.Clipping removes the top coat so you will be left with the undercoat

I dont now of any dog with diabetes that has maintained it by diet only. All have been insulin dependant. Best to ask your vet .

pro plan salmon & sensitive stomachs BUT the thing is you need to look at the hole eating plan. I would also go to the chemist & buy some flora max or similiar to help re align the good bacteria to her gut. You can buy a dog form but not always the easiest. I have dog who will get the runs if if i feed certain foods.he thrives on the pro plan.mutton 3 times a week,chicken necks & bits of other stuff.To much & he will get the runs. Hills has way to much grains & one of the specialty varieties has an ingredient known to be a cancer cause plus most dogs hate it & wont eat it. Beef,pork & lamb will give my the squirts.Kangaroo agreed well but turned him orange

I would be addressing the diet & also checking out the garden for wandering jew or similiar type plants

I highly suggest telling the neighbours & i would also give them a contact number if you are able.If your on goo dterms with your neighbours they can be a good life line to keep you informed. What state are you in?Hopefully not one affected by the heat at present. As for food dont leave down .It can be normal for pups to be picky as they have lost there competition to eat so you now replace that comp.If not eaten within 15 mins take away.As long as your following the breeders diet all should be fine.If you have worries about feeding contact your breeder who may be able to suggest a tempter that they fine breed suitable

wool wash use to be very popular years ago but dont now many that use it now & i personally wouldnt but that is something you need to discuss with your breeder.

George Huber in Midland is where the greater grey pop head but most vets thes days are very offay with the different breed requirements. Applecross has worked on our greys etc We have also used vetwest canning vale for spays & the vet we use there is super. Cost wise both are equal so it comes down to travel. We have used Applecross for years but are starting to get a heavy vet turnover. Ian McDowelll works from Booragon vet is superb at surgery. Lark Hill is also has a good rep but thats far away from you

in our breed yes & it has increased the pancreatitis issue ten fold. They are highly predisposed too it & thats why as breeders we suggest a diet that is suitable for that risk.

Just dunk them in white vinegar ,just buy the cheapie stuff dilute & dunk feet. Dogs can also suffer from Tinea lick us because they lick & lick there feet that they stay so moist they pong. Dogs cool from there feet thats why if ther hot they will stand in the water to cool

smell his feet

Given the dog is already showing signs of being being "all male" the stud work will make it worse. Not all males change after stud work BUT we inform qanyone heading down that path to be prepared to deal with a stud dog . Certainly in some breeds once used at stud it can really change everything .

If you are having to clean it then one presumes she has a major issue that needs vet help otherwise bitches dont just sit there licking there fanny all day to keep clean. If you are wiping all the time maybe your creating the issue??

Temperament Blue merle short coat heading sheep Graziers, stockman and dairy farmers across Australia since the days of the earliest settlers to their present day counterparts have typically selected breeds which display the abilities required to meet their working needs. The temperament found in a Koolie is an example of this much sought after ability. The optimal worker possesses a combination of working skills and bonding temperament. There are times when an uninitiated dog owner or a new enthusiast mistakes the Koolie as a shy, reserved or even a timid animal. The Koolies temperament needs to be understood in proper context when one seeks an optimal match of skills and demeanor. The Koolies are intelligent animals and the most experienced handlers know well that they need guidance instead of merely being pushed and given praise instead of assigning blame. A steady and supportive approach will be productive, proving the Koolies adaptability in diverse situations when given time. Such is the hallmark it bears. Owners will be rewarded through the Koolies diligence in varied roles such as in work situations, sporting activities, loyal service or the time honoured role of companionship. Known to be patient, temperate, dedicated, with a strong drive for willingness and devotion, the Koolie is not naturally aggressive but can demonstrate dominance, an untiring enthusiasm to work, and an admirable hardiness when the job or circumstance requires. This may give your more understanding of the nature but still give the pup a chance to settle .Im sure in a week you will see a new pup

Ask your local vet.Some vets do after hours & many dont.If you phoned your own vet do they do after hrs ,refer or work in a syndicate where different clinics stay open. Our vet does after hrs emergencies. For those vets that dont do after hrs care also ask where your dog stays if in for treatment. In Perth for example many vets dont do after hrs so when they shut for the day the dogs are shipped off to Murdoch vet who i wont use in a pink fit

Hate them even when sharpened properly .Never work & too much stuffing around to pursue them

From day one here. Voice tone easily identifies acceptable & not. If all they here is good then they dont get the wrong.removing is fine but they need to understand why. Even at 13 weeks most dogs grasp things very quickly & it becomes less confusing when there older
