Most grain diets will still have other ingredients that can be an issue . The answer is simply what suits your dog not what the human thinks it should have . If your dog is doing great on what its being feed then don't change it. We don't chop & change diets here if its suits the dog that is what it gets . And like already mentioned most people who get fixiated on grain free feed crappy treats & other stuff so it really defeats the purpose

Personally we don't encourage our puppy owners to take time off,start as you plan to go for life . If you plan to stay home then whilst home the pup needs to do the routine of what would be when your at work so unless your prepared to not pamper it with love & make it think you will be there 24/7 then i would not take time off . What your main concern will be is ensuring the pup is well catered for as its summer ,winter babies are so much easier . Keep in mind the laundry often is one of the warmest areas so pup may not enjoy being in there & exercise as a puppy before & after work will be limited for quite some time due to the growth plates so you need to look at activities that encourage independence & using its brain until walks can come in ,a tired pup is one that has had to think . Also make sure what type of personality you are after in your pup & make sure the breeder is aware of this & talk to them at what is best for making a Sibe a non escape artist .The fence is a great start

The fact you have said We don't want to get rid of puppy and I don't want to lose choc. None of our family can take her as they already have dogs and children I will be honest you should never have brought a new dog home knowing the old dogs issues & that being 10 yrs of issues . The pup needs to go before it gets traumatized more or attacked again & suffers worse injuries or become aggressive. The old dog should be your first priority not the pup .Its not a case of get rid of the dog with issues now because the pup will be more fun ,the old dog is your responsibility. Not sure where you got the pup from but surprised if a reputable place they where happy to let it go to live with an aggressive dog

Just call. As a breeder being sent a SMS message is a big no go for us . No time will ever be right but that can be sorted very easily from a phone call. We prefer phone calls than emails,emails are so back & forth ,on the phone the answer can be very easy if there set on something we don't/won't have. During that phone call we then ask for them to send an email with all there details . Headings & peoples email addresses can be an issue,we get so much in our junk mail & we don't open all our junk mail so be very specific about the title if you want to email .also keep in mind for the last 8 weeks we like many have had big email issues so reliant on the providers to sort things out

Its easy if your worried about pay back then you have to suck it up & not complain,if you want to be able to walk your dog in peace then report it .

Never used rice but always use pumpkin

Show dogs aren't taught not to sit .like i said in my previous post my ES aren't a sitting breed they stand or lay & you have said "sometimes" sits . Its the breed but it doesn't mean they can't sit its just not for them,i find with my Setters standing & drop is natural because in the field that is what they do . I have owned a GSD & yep training the two is like chalk & cheese ,your GSD will do anything to please ,you peeve and English Setter off & it will make a meal of you & the battle will begin .like i say there all about "why" so "why " should i sit & if there is no real reason to do it they won't . What you need to do is reward when he sits in his day to day life & make him realize that makes you excited.

My best advice is to make sure your dog is well exposed to noise and the outside world,the Royal can be very overwhelming for puppies with the noise around especially when leaving and having to go through part of side show alley and the rides . Lunch I would buy but take drinks.You don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to ,you can take a book and read whilst your dog sits in its crate

Personally if it's just because the vet said I wouldn't be worried ,not sure why the vet would want a dog to sit anyway. ES think differently and have the attitude of why but they are good learners when the process engages them .They can certainly make it hard if the process doesn't seem right to them Show dog or not they can sit ,my old ES isn't a fan of sitting but loves down,I don't teach sit but always teach drop but for vet visits I good stand is a blessing , Does the dog regularly sit when not asked or is he a stand and down type of dog?

There is only one person who has Welsh in Perth but she no longer breeds them ,you will have to go east

Unless it's one run to specifically teach the right manners into adulthood then a total waste ,far to many are free for alls and run by unqualified people .Puppies need to learn that seeing another dog means it's entitled to play,teaching self control and focus amongst a crowd is far more important ,good dog manners sets up a pup for life You can tell the owners who have been to a free for all puppy school as they often struggle to control there dog when getting older.Puppy school should be about teaching adult values and behaviour not about researching the dog bad habits taught at free for alls

This is something you & the other party need to discuss ,co ownership agreements are a very personal thing .Ideally this should be all sorted before you even start the process especially with an import . I have co owned 17 dogs but i wouldn't bring an import co owned

Have you discussed this with the co owner ? I would be going to a repo vet for a second opinion

This is an area that suddenly everyone wants to be involved with so i would be asking Why would someone trust you with there dog . What skills do you have? Why does this career appeal to you ? What sort of dogs do you have experience with ?? Do you want to do at home sitting or in peoples own homes?? And yes insurance is a must .

Dont buy anything lead wise until you have the pup & know its size & what best fits it ,your breeder will tell you what she has trained the pup on,Personally i hate harnesses they teach bad lead manners & increase skeletal injuries . As for training he will be old enough to attend an obedience club at 12 weeks on so just go & do that teaching a boisterous Boxer the right manners from early on is more important than free for all puppy classes . I

Well hopefully you had the terms in writing . But the stud owner has nothing to do with costs of whelping ,that is the risk the owner takes when breeding .You don't make money out of breeding . As to a pup in return for a stud fee thats a risk in itself that we would never do,We always pay a stud fee with an option to first or second pick if we are happy with the pups & there are enough pups

As all of the above especially the gaining speed running & stopping . I too would start with a 5 mtr that you have full control over & not encourage complete bad manners on a leash

Had a bitch who always silient seasoned,she came in everu 8 months,no swelling etc etc but the dog instantly new & we found her seasons to be very short & she had to be mated from the moment the dogs said yep ,after many misses she did have 3 litters one small two huge ,prog testes weren't always helpful due to the limited time she was in .

Blow drying the dog won't be an issue ,they aren't hot like human dryers & dog dryers have the option of turning heat on . Chances are if you cancel at such short notice don't expect the groomer to fit you in especially when other people would be desperate for that spot ,its summer hot days will always be an issue .

Providing there used correctly ,there not designed to just be left on . Dogs pant thats how they cool themselves down . I have cool coats but there not left on & i only use them at dog shows never at home

So what has he been eating & what is the main reason for changing ,Health issues,not doing well ob previous diet

As a breeder we don't take on toys / blankets & treats . It ends up more work because puppies will be puppies & we generally use toys we now are suitable for all ,can be washed easy & not fall apart in the machine because pups are grubs and you are forever washing stuff daily . You now what why not when you pick pup up give them a small token of your appreciation for all the time & effort they have put in over Christmas & the New Year ,pups put a hold on your celebrations ,as its non stop washing.cleaning,training & keeping cool
