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 .

He was just given free range to use them at first & grasped that concept so quick . Im not wanting them out 24/7 but in his case they have been a great brain game for him . He is a bright pup gets bored very quickly but the reaction of the buzzers have made it a real fun thing for him thats not the norm .He is a very "foot" dog that swats,touches,shakes without training so the buttons allowed me to teach a foot & reward game for him that also teaches focus & self control I just got the 4 set to start

I know this is an old post but yes my current pup is being trained to use them & there awesome

Depends on the company some may road transport but that will still cost plus hire crate fee Most breeders/show people n Australia use Baycity,Mooreholme,KCR & a couple of others . I have used those 3 & considerably cheaper than the others & great service

Take away the lack of care care of the dog i can tell you as a boarding kennel owner we get plenty of owners lie about there dogs medical needs & i cant tell you how many owners of senior dogs would do weekend board & hope it would die or we would have to PTS on there behalf because they were to gutless to do the right thing. We have had dogs brought in just like above & had to refuse boarding them as it was beyond cruel for an owner to even think that was the right path.

Im gathering its 2 flights from Noosa so that will add to the costs . Try Baycity pet transport they are Qld based & well used & well priced Flying costs went up when covid hit

Yes Vanner is used in Australia a friend has 3

I have send dog for assessment/evaluation Your words. It sounds like your idea of what you say & what other people think is said is your problem & that you need to have a better form of communication /sales receipt/contract for both parties to fully understand prior to a sale especailly if sending out of state & knowing fully well the costs of transporting . Having said that we dont get to wipe our hands of our responsibilities. & if we end up out of pocket then we suck it up . The microchip papers would be easily solved by reading your State law/animal welfare act on rehomed dogs of each state & the time frame of paperwork needing to be resigned to the person .

Im going to be that person & say it doesnt sound like they need another dog at present . If away alot & a house full of seniors & dont really walk the dogs or get them out & about then no one can suggest a breed that will fit in & be ideal .

I agree with asking if you can watch him at daycare to see whether he's tired because he interacts or tired because he's overwhelmed. We have had blind dogs who adapted very easy and still enjoyed there walks . We had to be there eyes and common sense but as a partnership they still very much enjoyed going out . Scent classes could be a good start . It's also important your not feeling sorry and limiting it's confidence when out n about . Just think of this logically you wake up blind tomorrow it's a massive game changer ,your hearing works overtime,smells are different without sight this is where your dog is at . Teach obedience,give it confidence in knowing commands all these things will be important as he ages anyway

Some girls dont conceive by AI but do so natural ,some boys semen isnt great for AI but successful natural .

Our rehomes go on trial basis & its expected if the dog doesnt settle to be returned .The trial date is listed start to finish ,the have the right to vet check whilst there & it can be returned at anytime if it does not settle . Paperwork stays in our name until the trial period has been completed & both parties are happy We also would refund the price less any obvious expenses that are clearly outlined in the sales contract . If no obvious expenses then the full amount is refunded . When you say you have sent dog off for evaluation do you mean to a dog trainer . I truly feel for this dog that seems to have bore the brunt of some crappy decisions prior & now by yourself & does sound a little lacking of empathy for how it settles in the future remember this is a living creature not $$$$. Personally i think your choice not to refund is a bad one & you may want to check consumer law on where things actually stand & if your breeder learn about your responsibilities a bit more . If you didnt factor in transport costs if the home didnt turn out then that is a lesson learned for yourself If your truly dog savvy then you would know that some dogs just arent the best fit for some homes especially when you send them out of State ,sending the dog to a trainer to be assessed actually sends red flags for me & with the answer they actually want to keep it , Just curious will you charge the trainer the same price to home this dog .

Not New Am Staffs are cropped in the US & traditionally Europe ,the new it breed is the American Bully

Ill be honest i dont care if i offend people when i say No because people wont have the same nice fuzzy manner if something doesnt go to plan . Having said that owning showdogs i often have to say no at shows & be nice . Rarely is anyone offended when told No & the ones who are i tend to find are just rude entitled people who think there at the petting Zoo & can do what they want . I will give a reason & i will also let people happily touch the dogs . I see it very easy i am my dogs advocate,im in charge off how an interaction can end & its my job to read the moment & say yes or No for my dogs sake ,sanity & safety . If i dont advocate then i have failed them if something goes horribly wrong . For those who just touch without asking its rare but they get told sternly that thats inappropriate & i will stress not all dogs are equal,breeds have jobs & that you have no idea of a dogs history or even health status aka deaf,blind etc etc . Education a must but i dont suffer fools around my dogs .

The poster has deleted alot on Facebook not the sharpest tool in the shed ,there where comments on the post on FB about how could you put a declared dangerous dog in with another dog. (1) Pets Wonderland | Gold Coast QLD | Facebook Is the doggy daycare that accepted a declared Dangerous dog

A declared dangerous dog in a doggy daycare facility your insurance wouldnt even cover that dog & do the other owners know . This whole post screams so many wrongs especially the fact shes not even wearing the correct collar for her status by law ,not onleash ,dare say not even the correct housing & no sign stating the status of an animal on the fence The Am Staffs body language screams get me out of here & all your worried about is a doing a video to prove what . Your a brave person putting your business details on here breaking so many required laws ,the industry is known for toomany cowboys & this post just ticks all the boxes of why sourcing a good/honest & up to date with laws trainer can be hard. Like it or not this dog has been declared dangerous you have a legal requirement to do all things honestly by the law .

Do you have an air con & if so how did the dog react to that ??

No shock . Ive heard so many dumb things at the vets nothing is a OMG moment anymore . It does amaze me how many owners dont respect people in the waiting rooms no matter what animal they have with them . Our vet clinic has a big waiting room & a small fenced corner for owners with dogs that do have issues whether that be behaviour,deaf,blind,reactice fear due to arthritic pain of dogs jumping on them so that is there safe zone chairs well away. I have witnessed people pick up the chairs & move closer so there dogs can play between the fence ,The area is well sign written what its purpose is . You see people blatanly ignoring staff requests for control which honestly proves people are glass half full especially as most waiting rooms have CCTV .
