AS this dog is a support dog then there needs to be a very grown up approach to the trauma this dog has gone through & the expectations on the dog at present being unable to do its job & that rushing to get a quick fix wont happen & may never happen . Its trauma is more than just giving it medication especially if the dog is expected to continue its previous life . Most vets are not qualified to give the moving forward advice that meds & a rehab plan needs . The owner & those supporting als need to be on the same page of reality & not fantasy The antibiotic path is not as cut n dry & vets have so many different legal rules these days . They may also have opted not to dispense behaviour meds at that moment due to the side effects it can cause & not knowing what is due to the attack & what is med related . Everyone needs to apply a common sense head not a gun ho vet is an idiot shoulda,woulda,coulda approach . If the vet cant help moving forward change if the owner is happy with the vet thats their business but the journey off reconditioning needs to be done by people with a smart head & correct non emotional advice ,those helping this person also need to use a non emotional approach in making sure info given is heard correctly or an ear of listening is a good one . This is a situation regardless life wont be the same & a struggle for both . Someone needs to advocate for the dog just as much for the human in creating a happy pathway moving forward.

We use technyflex powder & had great success. One dog also gets antinol which i buy direct . Many who use antinol use it for one dose & use the human lyprinol for the other to make it more viable

On the topic of exercise it just makes them fitter not drained it means each week they need more exercise to feed the body its an area you wont beat . Your better off looking at mind games which do make the dog tired ,teaches one on one focus & NILIF (nothing in life is free). I have large breeds & dont do dog parks & would never do so with anything under 12 months . Too many life skills go wrong happen there & just one moment of bullying & your up &hit creek for life . My large breed showdogs are taught other dogs dont exist ,im the high value treat . My current boy who is bright as anything would happily run around an oval & he would learn no life skills whats ever except free range madness. Im a big believer in all puppies but large breed teaching mind & body co ordination skills,teaching them focus & body awareness training .So may cheap items can be bought for this & both dogs can enjoy it . As for 2 girls yes we dont recommend it but you have them now so Mangement is a must keeping in mind the drama doesnt usually happen until adults when pushing the order happens or poking the bear . We had 2 best friends who one day turned into world war 3 & had to be separated for life they ticked the box"bitches" bigtime . What i would be managing in the pup is how to cope with not having to protect its human all the time & the skills to switch off . The combo throws in alot of different mindsets ,jobs & traits . The power aspect alone is a big factor when it comes to controlling the leash in adulthood . I would suggest life skills for one on one outings is way more important than dog park running . The first 8 months pups are like sponges in learning ,9 months on that brain starts to be independant so for me instilling foundations that make life nice is so much more important than meeting dogs especially in a powerful breed . I would tend to go more for a Guide dog principal of training especially if your mobility is an issue ,give the pup jobs to do now to ensure the outside world is you only . So many owners teach higher value of other dogs in there pups first off instead of the reverse . I go with if my dog doesnt like other dogs i still have 12 plus years out in public & the public manners are more important than a dogpark whether it be sitting in the vet,at a pet friendly cafe or for my dogs Showdogs in public .

Microchip papers is not pedigree papers all breeders have to follow microchip paper rules thats a given as do rescues in all States . Change of ownership papers would be referring to the pedigree papers so i think your confused about what the OP has posted so the info your given isnt correct . We have a 100% follow through on our contract to spay puppies & have legally pursued 1 buyer who learnt quickly lying about there intentions does not make them win either . Contracts are also based on the fact the item is sold outlining its suitable use . If the contract states no breeding due to a bad mouth,DNA tests results making it a carrier etc then the contract is fit for purpose outling all this . If sold as a carrier then paperwork again would clearly outline all this in the sale contract Sadly this is why some breeders have chosen to spay /vasectomy prior to sale which is not a path we wish to do . Thankfully we have retired from breeding so dont have to deal with certain aspects anymore . The pup we did sell to the contract lawyer did develop a bad mouth after we ran it on & was rehomed based on the contract outling this clearly ,what it wasnt suitable for & due to age spaying to be done at X age for growth. Contracts do stand providing they are reasonable requirements.

This is not true . WA breeders dont have to provide papers . A process must be clearly defined before sale . WA breeders can use the Non Transfer agreement form I/We, the undersigned, acknowledge that it has been fully explained to me/us that the above dog is registered with Dogs West in the current owners name, and will remain registered in that name in accordance with the following regulation - R11 which states: THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE SIGNED BY ALL PARTIES Payment By Credit Card Mastercard Visa Other Total Due $ Card No Expiry date / Cardholders Name Signature 11.1 All applications to transfer a dog must be submitted on the Association's form. A seller shall be responsible to transfer the ownership of a dog, when a dog is disposed. A completed transfer of ownership form to the new owner must be submitted by the seller to the Association within 90 days of change of ownership. Where it is agreed by the parties that the dog is to remain in the registered ownership of the seller, then a Non-Transfer agreement must be submitted by the seller on the approved form within 90 days of change of ownership. 11.2 A dog subject to a Non-Transfer agreement shall not be transferred to any other party while an agreement is in effect. A Non-Transfer Agreement can only be cancelled on written request from all parties

Im going to say if not done by 7 months there is a reason as late penalty fees start to set in . I would contact the State body with your issue alternatively if you want to send a pm with prefix i can check ANKC database if registered need date of birth

First off you need to ensure the bird is in a no go zone , The back & forth game of you picking up & him running back is simply in his eye a reward behaviour . Until you now how to mange the right way dont set you as a failure to what your expectations are He has no clue of the boundries so you need to set him up for success without the overstimulation of the prize being right there as such also factoring he may never change so management irrespective is going to be a new life skill for the household . Train him without the bird ,you will be invisiable during this time until some mutual respect is earnt by both Dogs learn quick its just a case of finding this ones "cue" i often find traditional obedience can be very boring to a dog so seeking someone who incorporates trick training,hoopers with training is often a fast forward in "getting it" You can do many of these things at home but just think outside the box . Your new,the house is new.your expectations to it are new ,your boundries are new

Actually a correctly written contract does stand up ,it may come down to how much money either side want to spend fighting it . We sold a pup to one of Australias best contract lawyers who helped tweak ours & fully explained the pro/cons/must/must nots & all the must dos prior to accepting any monetary value .

As a Groomer Thankfully not yet & we actually dont groom oodles but yes have seen them .Some very sweet ,most with coats that i dare say the owners dont factor into there life & ongoing expense list

The classic answer of someone who actually has no clue about State regulations or liability . What you may think & what is legal requirements is a big difference . Maybe read this section which applies to Victoria for example & please tell us your view ??This is just a small part of varying state laws (govt) that breeders also have to understand & inform prior to sale based on DNA results . Being a breeder & selling pups is more than just a person saying shouldnt dictate . H Code of Practice for the Breeding of Animals with Heritable Defects that Cause Disease | Codes of Practice | Domestic Animals Act | Animal Welfare Victoria | Livestock and animals | Agriculture Victoria

Many breeders keep pups till 10 weeks very normal. We also dont supply papers until sterilized some state bodies its fine providing its clearly stated prior too . The breeder can place in joint names until spayed or on limited reg alternatively. Microchip paperwork must go with pup & that is your proof of ownership for the council & the dog . The receipt depedending on how they do theres will have that listed on the contract as pup #12345666666 purchsed by Yadda Yadda. We scanned the pup infront of owners so they new it was the pup they had already meet & placed a holding fee on or that its simply the pup they purchased .

i would never spay a bitch whilst in season & most vets will not recommend it .

Could simply be wavy coat & Pugs can have shaded coat colouring so can look wavy but arent . Easiest way to really tell would be wet after a bath

Those prices are cheap . As others have already said You will need the dog in your name & be a member of your state body aka Dogsqld. If wanting a bitch you will need to do the waiting period then sit & hopefully pass the breeders exam & then pick a prefix. Qld has different requirements as all puppies need to be DNA tested prior to registration . Depending on the colour of your dog ??Will also depend on if it can be breed with in ANKC . Health testing absolutely especially for IVDD,eyes,VWB & the other few this would apply to male & female & there status as to whether worthy of being bred. Also not all animals should be bred & in Dacchshunds the quality of the back & construction is so important . You then need to factor good mouths,soundness in movement & temperament . The papres wneed to be ANKC Already on mains or the breeder willing to upgrade & you becoming a member for anyone on DOL to be able to use it . There are other registrations so papers could mean anything . I would highly recommend understanding your local council /state law requirements as a breeder then familiarize yourself with ANKC requirements . I already have a line up of friends and family who will take a puppy and before I get howled down this is not a money making venture. Breeders rarely make money but pay out plenty to just get a litter on the ground at the end of the day you will be no more special than anyone else BUT you will be a breeder liable for any issues you bred whether sold to friends or family ( i gather those people are prepared to pay ) You will still be bound by your responsibilities as a breeder so infact any sane person breeding is looking for the best /permanment home So at the end of the day you will have DNA fees,microchip,vaccination,worming,registration fees,feeding,time off work potential C section (should always be factored) AI if dog wont mate ,prog tests & the list goes on for expenses .

No one can really answer . There are pros/cons . In near 40 years never ended up with an incontinent bitch . I guess you just have to weigh up all the factors including how an entire bitch affects your council permit & managing pack dynamics when she is in etc etc

First off make sure the breeder is happy to agree to this . Personally i wouldnt worry about the week off infact we encourage our buyers to keep the routine as to what it will be in the future so if your going to stay home for the week dont fuss so much that its world is turned upside down when you go back to work . 10 weeks isnt a problem but that 8/10 weeks needs to have some skills being taught so depends what the breeder will do if holding it longer

We board a few American/Australia n Bulldogs . All have lovely nature's but owners struggle to walk them with there size and power and have health issues especially bad hips ,crossed with a pitty I would be seriously assessing this choice with a child and his friends coming over unless all the humans are prepared to put in significant lead training,social skills and manners . We have boarded pure pittys and all where delightful but start crossing them and that's a whole different cup of tea. Also there alot of dog will it fit into the car you have . Will it be an inside or outside dog . What is the health status of the parents with hips/ elbows etc . Cats n dogs are no guarantee of getting on that's something that will always be a thing . Some cats are horrible to dogs but yes a cat needs a safe area for the early stages

Have to agree i wouldnt be looking at a female especially when your expectations are for it to be its ears ,confidience & getting along for life is a big reason for getting the second dog so i would be very much looking at a male & the personality you want it to role model & give this pup . Have you had the BAER test yet ? Yes plenty of bitches live happily together plenty more dont . In near 4o plus years of multi dogs we have only had one drama & 2 girls who where best friends until one night & no way in hell where they getting over it & a breed that never has those issues .Just 2 girls in cow mode & for ever seperated . Also be mindful that some dogs also dont gel with dogs with issues .So finding the right soul to be group leader is worth the wait & not the rush

I would not under any circumstances get another pup until you have taught this one life changing foundations especilly through the age changes & tackling new outside experiences plus pup learning the sensory changes it will use differently like smell,vibration (walking around traffic,outings to park ) Another pup will just take away vital tool training this pup deserves & may make it overly reliant & focused on the other dog in an unhealthy way . This pup has yet to experience life skills & it is important you set it up to be independent & able to cope on its own . One fright will be a big part of her growing up journey & teaching the pup how to cope during these times is so important Buy the dog buttons & teach to push for commands. Alot of deaf dog owners use them . Your dog may not be clinically deaf but low hearing,it may be uni or completely . Obviously its your choice to get another pup but make sure your prepared for the very extra work the new pup will need & the constantly training the deaf pup to not be a follower & loose focus on its cues to be safe . And yes i have owned medical needs dogs .

Yeah that would be still a no. Ear Haematomos are no comparison to taping ears to help the fold . We have taped ears and big experience with Ear H. A breeder is the only source and if the ears aren't right no amount of tapping will help . To the Op that is a small head compared to ear size . What are the parents ears like ? What has the breeder said ?

I would wait . And i agree that each day should be a memory day & photo's . When the time comes then the fun of selecting a new person & new journey will begin & ofcourse whether the children want another cavie,for some replacing with the same breed is too hard or the same colour .

We have always had multi dogs so its is our normal and we are set up for multi dogs & licensed BUT it comes with alot of extra effort meeting the big age bracket needs,mental enrichment for all,tranquility . 2 is company 3's a crowd is reality especially for people arent willing to sign up for the pack needs

A breed known to be a successful at a job doesnt equate to cant happen . If your wanting people to say it would never happen because its a Maremma no one can .

One area we dont self med is Eyes . We cant see scratches or the "possibilities" but the wrong eye stuff can end badly .

Barn hunt is a fab event. I saw the Barn hunt national titles in the US . An event all dog owners can compete in & all dogs .
