Dont create a monster but over thinking things .Also don’t turn your Yorke into a carry around pet nervous pet . Puppy could have had a gut ache ,sometimes the days activities can be just to much for puppy and there just too tired to sleep ,like a toddler that hits the wall but won’t sleep .

And if you are a good ethical breeder whose dogs are house dogs that will no longer be allowed as all breeding bitches must be in a kennel ,so even if someone owns a bitch on breeders terms it’s suppose to live in a outdoor kennel setup . The sad part is pet owners see these types of a reform as a win but it changes nothing except making it tougher on beloved house pets and it doesn’t stop puppy farms

Your dog doesn’t set the rules you do,how do you change easy it’s your terms not the dogs,look at other enrichment ideas because your dog will have days if it hasn’t happened already where a walk just isn’t going to happen,the world won’t end and the dog doesn’t get what it wants .

Remember many tricks still require sit,drop so the dog isn’t missing out but often engages more because it’s fun,fast and works a busy brain well . i have a breed where sitting is awkward as a baby so it’s not a comfy position and they will wriggle about due to size and growth hence I find working on tricks is more fun and still engages the dog to watch,listen and learn. Not sure what sort of coat your pup has but don’t forget to add grooming to the training ,this includes che king feet for grass seeds,chechecking the teeth and feeling all over

If it was my dog I would be training for the tricks more and rewarding than the boring stuff especially with such a combo .

deerhounds are a great option but I think the simp,e reality is giant breeds struggle in old age simply due to there size so age and quality is a different package . But in the scheme of partners issues sounds like a small dog would be a better fit

We Never do the third but it depends what was used ,we only suggest the 3 If a high risk area but in the end you have to be happy but ask questions what is being used and why ,some vets are truly doing it over the top

I very much doubt watching you pulls weeds has encouraged digging ,if it was that simple to train a dog by mimicking humans training would mean we all own the perfect dog with no excuses . Chances are digging was normal where it was raised ,when we have litters we don’t encourage digging but they will give it a go after all there dogs,outside can be boring ,sterile and life so routined . Some gardens literally say dig me ,pull me and destroy me

There is a place in Sunbury that deals with issues ,just can’t remember the name

For us the frustrating ones are those who go on about must haves ,will wait,not perfect enough etc etc and then phone you to say have brought a pup that wasn’t what they wanted from a random breeder because they couldn’t wait any longer and ask for your help as they have issues . The reason many breeders don’t deal with in blunt terms time wasters . we no longer take waiting lists and believe those who are serious will respect us by being honest and upfront others who seem to want to p,at the game we find hard to build a trusting relationship with and question there honesty

Needs to be PTS ,if they want professional help then they need to find a reputable person who will access the dog correctly and advise as such . I would not get involved unless you have the qualifications to back up the reasons either way . thyroid issues could be a reason but this dog would get a one way ride

You certainly don’t have to take your dog to the dog park and your dog won’t suffer if you don’t. mine have never been near one and never will ,happy social dogs .

I’m happy to wait for my right dog especially as it’s a future showdog but given I have other dogs I show it isn’t a case of needing something now kind of thing. As a breeder we have people who will wait but I do believe some will never find what they want so I can honestly say we tend to take them of the list as they often end up wasting our time especially as there is always another great home available . So I sit in the middle understanding but some I think live the dream by simply having there name Down on the list ,some will never be happy with the pup they get as there expectations are to much so we are very cautious dealing with such people

Try crocodile,roo meat gave one of mine terrible gas,coat discolouration.

BAER testing is not a normal service you will have to travel to get in done ,generally only a handful of places do it in each state so your not going to have a great deal of options & the hills to Two wells area isn't that far . The Uni may offer it or the dermatology section at a referral vet but i would be comparing prices I had to fly east to get my dog done so your lucky to have the service available with a drive .

There are 2 clinics that test in SA Adelaide Plains I think it’s called Noah’s Crossing out two Wells way .

You can’t monitor hearing issues ,if your pup is deaf ,deaf in one ear or borderline then the sooner you know the easier you can adapt a lifestyle that allows quality,independent living and ensuring human interaction is positive not frightening the better . Your vet should have to.d you about the BAER option .. A BAER text is the only health check to confirm it ,puppies learn quickly to adapt ,follow or read signs ,feel vibrations hence a vet check as such will not give you a true reading . i would contact your breeder with your concerns

Get her BAER tested then you will know for a fact if deaf or not

Tongue / lever my first thought,these need replacing atleast once a year more

Rules for what ?

All that should be required are honest rescue groups who do right by people adapting. To easy to become a rescue and then wipe your hands of the dog once gone. I cringe at some of the breed right ups,the misleading info that only fools a potential adapter in thinking it’s the right dog for them and getting high and mighty if you pull them up on the info. For example a breed I owned came up in a rescue .The breed right up was not correct for the breed nor was the suggested type of home . I politely told them so and offered my breed knowledge as assistance to list the correct info and what an ideal home would be . I posted that info on there FB page for that dog. My info was deleted,fast forward 3 months person who adapted dog emailed me regarding that dog and some serious issues they where having . When I asked what the home situation was for people and dog red flags where abundant.This dog bite someone and attacked another dog . First time dog owners who thought rescue was right and had no clue about the breed they adapted except what they read ,thought the dog was cute so put there name down. Rescue grp no help dog PTS . We have boarding kennels and board people who have adapted dogs and been terribly let down and refuse to go down that path,many saying they would sooner by from a pet shop . Also have many clients who have lost there pet and decided to rescue,awesome homes who where refused for ridiculous reasons .

The breeder who I presume knows there is another dog in the home should be offering stacks of advice on this topic .They should be a wealth of knowledge on introducing there breed and also ensuring the pup selected has the best temperament to match going to a home with another dog. Problem is at the age of the pup it’s personality could change again and may not be the best fit but that is something the breeder needs to access and address . You need to understand the needs of your current pup,it’s training level and should be very aware of how it interacts with other dogs already ,then the right pup selected to minimise any issues with the right training in the household. Any breeds/crosses can dislike each other the difference in some dogs the issues can be more stronger,more often and a bigger issue

It’s a chemical so any dog can react . Frontline caused burns,friends used advocate and caused a rash down the back and coat texture to change . A risk with any product used.

Depends why you want to change the diet
