Beagles aren’t hyperactive but there a scenthound so they view the world differently . They can be destructive and are better as a pack breed . Most of the Beagle brigade at the airports are pets that the owner could no longer live with ,In most cases people who brought a breed without being honest with themselves as the wrong breed for there lifestyle . This applies to any dog cross or pure . Every breed has there good and bad points as a breeder we make this very clear as a potential new owner you will also have your good and bad points and that should factor into the right dog . If you want to live with a fur baby then don’t get a Cattle dog We board some lovely Cattle dogs but if you head down this path buy from a good breeder who health tests and hearing tests and is honest about you being the right fit for the breed and then able to assist in selecting the right pup . PWD love waster for example . Some breeds are built to be better suited.to biking or long walks so consider the terrain you plan to cover and factor that . There are so many breeds that could suit heading to a show is the best starting place to see size,coats and general behaviour in public

Also when you say puppies are you meaning 1 puppy or are you looking at getting 2 puppies ?? Personally we sell to people who work all day just like the people who sold us puppies when my parents worked all day .If people didn't sell to working families no one would own dogs ,what we do factor with working homes is the lifestyle one has after work & if people live a very busy social life & sporting life on weekends then one needs to access where a dog will fit in . It can be done with some effort working & puppies . We have also homed older puppies but important factors to keep in mind. In our situation we work from home ,we have other dogs so getting an older puppy does not mean it will be easier or the best fit as an older puppy may already be use to having some form of company around thus making retraining to your home just as much work an effort .Older puppy does not mean easier in all cases so if you do consider this option ask questions of its current lifestyle . As a breeder we make this very clear & pick the type of home we may potentially sell an older puppy/dog to due knowing what its currently use to & how easily it may adapt .Whether exposed to kids etc etc Puppies don't need 3 meals for a long time & you can switch it too 4 with working .

Plenty of people work and raise successful dogs but it comes down to picking the right dog for the effort you want to put in each day . The 3 breeds you have listed are the polar opposites so what is attracting you to them so far . Are you happy to do the weekly brushing and grooming salon visits for the P water dog ,keeping in mind the added costs and the dedicated training you need to put in for brushing manners . What exactly do you want from your dog . inside/outside brushing/ no brushing regular grooming salon visits to budget for or no grooming expense . Regular walks or preferably happy to sit in backyard and amuse itself . This is a good starting point in thinking what you can live with for the ne t potentially 15 years not what is for example pretty or totally unpractical

Kangaroo is not tolerated by all dogs . Mine have never done well on it

Is that all he gets feed ? thats very little food for a large growing puppy . teething can affect some puppies more than others . Owners expectations and training methods can change a puppy . What has the puppies breeder said about your concerns

Most in WA dont use her but use the guy in NSW

The dogs breeder should be the person helping you . If you brought from an ethical breeder who did all the right health testing they will be the person to best educate you and help you learn about the faults your dog has the qualities it has and whether he should be even breed from . at the very least he will need his hips and elbows done . If you brought from a good breeder they would have supplied you with the relevant paperwork from the registry they belong too and copies of parents health testing and whether your pup is clear by parentage of any breed issues that can be tested for. You will need the papers in your name and join the registry those papers are with . If the dog is on Li tied papers then it’s not for breeding . Your only option is to be a BYB breeder supporter . What is the fee ?For starters you will be the stud master,the person who deals with tricky matings and getting the job down.The bitch owner is paying you for the service . If your dog and many fit into this category not the greatest in the area then the dog maybe required to have an AI mating which is something you need to make clear to the owner of the bitch so they can consider any additional expenses . If you are unable to work your male you will need to pay a stud master costs can vary and that is per mating . Bitch owners may ask for a fertility check and check STD’s Also you not hiring to stud . If you want to own a stud dog then you need to have ethics and morals and the ability to say no to a bitch that isn’t worthy .

Penn hip is not common in Australia now ,it’s just doesn’t have its place . Depends on the scorer you have chosen to use and whether they factor age in anyway but 6 isn’t that old so the hips and elbows are either good or bad

The difference is the breeder specifically breeding just for the bob tail gene and the breeder breeding for a quality Corgi whether it has a tail or not . i guess the issue for you in waiting is are you happy to take any Corgi as it’s a bob tail or do you want the right Corgi to fit into your home . Breeders will ask most likely about tails as it enables them in some ways to see who on the list is after the right pup no matter what or the potential of a NBT that may not appear in the litter and how long you wish to wait

Soak her dry food to soften it

I would suggest you speak to breeders of mini Smooths first .Find one that health tests and has good natures. Colour would then be the next factor and very few in the Smooths breed creams in fact I can’t ever recall seeing one but common in the Mini Longs

In a breed I’m involved with breeders are very savvy to using DNA results as a tool but not as the end of the world scenario. the complete package needs to be considered . For example PRA is late onset meaning 10 plus years . Breeders will breed carriers to clear ,affected to clear providing the rest of the package ticks the boxes such as hips/elbows/nature . Going blind in old age can happen anyway ,crappy hips at a young age affects it for ever ,risks that need to be prioritised ,managed but still with the future in mind

I would be going to the vet sooner than later or the very least phoning to express your concerns . Easy solution for the present minimise risk until you now what the future is

Over exercising is just as bad as potentially overweight . First off the bag ratio is a guideline .The bag ratios are based on that being the soul diet anything added each day is part of the diet .The idea is to adapt to the body condition in front of you so it’s important to regularly feel your dog which you will be when brushing your pup weekly ,brush time is great for bonding,Training and ensuring you are feeling and touching your dog regularly to notice changes . That is a lot of weight for a Goldie of that age even if a chunky solid pup . it could be perfect for your boy it could be over weight . Generally good breeders discuss over exercising and 1.5 hrs is waaay to much for a 6 month old and nightly walks should be short . With my Setters at that age I only do 15 mins twice a day ,I don’t do 1.5 until Atleast 2 yrs and there fitness has been solely built up and finished growing . Joint health in puppies can decide so much in adult life . At this age leash walking is about training ,seeing the world ,learning self control and life skills . Mind games at home are a great training tool . If your breeder is local ask to pop around and see what they think providing they actually are dog savvy and didn’t just have a litter

Sorry but vets have resources readily available, to them above and beyond what we do if breeders are expected to be at a certain level then the same applies to a vet If your not sure spend a few minutes to check or ask the experienced breeder at a consult about key features . We have had our own vets phone to query something ,nothing stopping new vets to do some hands on learning at shows,talking to breeders in there chosen field . Our puppy folders cover these key areas but when vets don’t respect this knowledge or listen to new owners then it’s the vets fault new or not .If they don’t now be humble and check We expect Doctors in the human field to be drug savvy and many have failed there luckily for people the pharmacist has picked up an issue ,vets are a pharmacist too so it does require a little more work . i totally get in multi cross breeds this is a much harder thing to work with but with breeds known for ivermectin issues then the first question asked should be have the parents been tested or the pup ,if owner unsure please check or we dont have a product suitable .

The other issue is vets sell products that cause health issues ,potential death .Those things would be potentially recorded without a vet having the balls to accept the products they may sell is part of the issue . Most Vets don't have the ability to know what there talking about ,it takes a special vet to be open & honest & savvy & have true experience . Many clinics despite the very public issues surrounding certain flea/tick products haven't stopped selling it ,some vaccinate dogs with C7 in scenarios where its totally not required & without any thought of the lepto component & the affect to the dogs. Since vet clinics have know become chain stores all about the sales the only way this would work is providing vets are made very accountable for there decisions . Working in the animal industry i can only but cringe at what many vets say,suggest ,infact its down right scary. I belong on a breed group where a number of the dogs are dying younger than they should BUT simply put when you read what they feed,products they use & many other factors im not surprised . Sadly many owners its all about keeping there "furbaby" happy instead of keeping there wonderful dog in good health & a well adjusted animal . As a breeder its also no shock how many vet practices try to convince puppy buyers to feed,use products that are not suitable for the breed because they have no clue & almost bully puppy owners into there way or no way Many do not consider heartworm products with ivermectim sensitive breeds & crosses of those breeds . In my breed by nature it has a higher cholesterol so its important what meds are prescribed ,some meds side effects is increasing cholesterol levels ,diet is important as there at a higher risk of pancreatitis . Diabetes is becoming the norm in dogs aswell Our breed isn't the only breed known for higher cholesterol levels but surprisingly many vets don't know this when prescribing . Our dogs live to 14/16 years

Problem is far too many vets misdiagnose so I wouldn’t be a fan and I myself had a dog badly misdiagnosed by a vet ,luckily I could read the x ray and question the vet another poor sucker wouldn’t have a dog listed for an issue By an idiot vet

When it comes to hearts things can be tricky . We have had a 6 week pup vaccinated and all fine ,pup reached 8 weeks and things changed dramatically. It can and does happen and one vets grading can be different to another .One vets idea of a murmur is not the same as another ,Good vets can tell the difference within reason ,some pups sound like washing machines and a vet say murmur but it isn’t ,it’s not black/ white .Some pups get so overwhelmed at There first vet visit hearts can be tricker to hear ,there are factors that p,at a part You took the pup due to the ear but I gather the pup seemed active and happy when you picked it up not acting like a pup with a dodgy heart ?.You had no reason to think it’s heart was a problem No different than humans .

A vac certificate does not prove your a legal owner at all and any vet handing out info based on that theory is going to get themselves in trouble . there are plenty of scenarios where someone has the vacc card of a dog but are not the legal owners nor privy to getting info from the vet .

MY question would be why did the vet clear it for flying with an ear infection ? Im also surprised the vet has openly discussed this pup over the phone without consent from the breeder or proof you are actually the owner . The privacy law covers this area . Your best beat is to contact your state body on what is the process regarding purchasing a faulty product as dogs are considered a product/ goods . The breeder has actually offered a refund on return of the pup which is how it works when purchasing goods . Some will offer an exchange which is why it’s important to contact you state body on purchase issues and decide your best option ,that may be small claims which may mean you have to do it through the courts in your state you purchased the pup . Basically you need everything in writing not verbal . Go to those with correct knowledge on this area

I see it different ways some owners are insanely boring,use the same uninspiring voice tone over and over again and have expectations the dog should meet but often don’t think it’s the humans that are just no value .. Some puppy classes are also very boring and don’t teach self control and enjoying your human so it really depends on the class you attend and what there focus is . I guess what you need to consider is will you always be sharing a home with another around or are your future plans different . Then base the house management on the future keeping in mind there is no guarantee they will always like each other

Heartworn injection has been well known for issues for far too many years ,its unfortunate that people don't say to there vet no thanks i want to personally research a product before giving it to the dog just like a human would generally ask questions about any meds a doctor prescribes . We put in our puppy folders that we under no circumstances recommend it & if owners decide too its at there own risk .We actually don't heartworm ourselves as the risk of getting it in our area is so low compared to using any of the products We strongly suggest to our puppy buyers if they want to treat there dogs then they just give a good old fashioned heartworm tablet .Most just put a reminder in the phone or on the calendar so easy to remember . We also also wont vaccinate with C4 due to reactions & it was generally promoted that a dog didn't get its vacc & Heartworm on the same day . Mind you i wouldn't have vaccinated my dog when it was having allergy issues on the day & requiring medication

The spot ons have been known to burn the skin . We are lucky and have no need to use those products but have seen dogs with skin reactions to frontline and advantage

I taught mine to do both and decided which one was a better fit for the dog . Are you planning to trial .? If yes then I would go watch some trials

Consider other factors ,flea/tick products with seizures .
