Any breed can get sep anxiety especially as many owners do not treat there dogs as animals & do everything for them or take them everywhere never teaching them life skills to be a independent & happy on there own when required . Some dogs that always had a mate may have rellied on that dog for its confidence. Some breeds are certtainly more velcro but good owners set them up for successs

Both breeds are great BUT 2.5 acres doesnt equate to being the right dog . Both breeds are smart,intelligient & need there brain enriched ,lots of land doesnt tick that box. Off the 2 i would say Flatties are calmer ,Vizslas are well known as velcro dogs . Flatties need brushing weekly . Both breeds will either openly invite strangers into the home & they love people or they may alert . Both breeds can be a nightmare if not enriched

As there at the age where there playing outside & learning about life they will get a good appetite quickly with all the new daily enrichment they should/are getting . Start getting them groomed trained for there new owners ,lead training all these things add such valuable tools to a puppies growth on life skills

why do you want a second litter?? Are you repeating the breeding? Did the first breeding produce quality pups(which you wont know until older). To be honest as a breeder we would be reluctant to breed a bitch that didnt get good milk or motherhood wasnt for them . Producing puppies is nothing compared to the factors of why i should be a bitch potentially again . If your registered then the rules are covered the the rules & regs. State laws may cover other aspects that you should be very aware off as a breeder especilly in NSW

Bowl of water yes BUT make sure its not a full bowl that they could drown . As someone who has bred small breed pups at 4 weeks some eat like gusto some dont . Simple reality is there is no easy option ,raising puppies is hard work as you have found out & you need to teach with patience lapping & food . We generally use a spoon or our finger . When the penny drops it will happen .Fun and messy . Heat pad out BUT again be mindful of the air con if on & them not being in a drafty spot . Just be patient & feed time is like finger painting time sometimes you just have to let them go & they learn from it it. Warmish flannel & wet ones your best friend

I dont let my dogs go near other dogs full stop & it peeves me off bigtime that so many dog owners think there dog can do what it wants whether onleash or offleash My dogs are showdogs,well behaved around dogs & have the etiquette of good behaviour at many events,vet waiting rooms etc . Im lucky to have a great Lake to wlk around thats onleash only but still have to deal with the odd numpties with extender leads . Also offleash NEVER means i want your dog to come over . For me offleash means a place i can take my dog & be offleash for me it never means my dog is entitled to go do what it wants whilst offleash to other dogs . Luckily i dont frequent offleash places due to so many stupid dog owners . And my other peeve extender leads where stupid owners let them to the end & think its funny wrapping around your legs or my dogs legs if i didnt step in & take action . Dog parks have no etiquette & most people there dont even bother to read the local council dog act of what "offleash " means & what is reportable . Most dog owners should be fined more often And before the do gooders who will go on about dogs will be dogs umm no thats an excuse for owner failure . People who just make excuse after excuse for why there dog did something in the moment . My current old boy loves his walks,doesnt care about other dogs just likes to mind his own business & watch the birds that give him more high value pleasure BUT he does have a medical issue so i am very mindful when idiots allow there dogs to "just " approach without a care in the world that the other dog may be deaf,blind,partially blind.old,medical issue . Those dogs are entitled to the same wonderful life pleasures as the dog park or offleash dogs minding there own business. Most of my friends have brought chect cam videos off amazon for walking there dogs incase there is an issue & its reported to the council

We have used farex for near 30 yrs at the 3/4 week stage never had any issues . Used on breeds that would be similar size to the op pups which is small . Farex is used by many successfully with goats milk and becomes a good intro to food. We don't start meat until they have mastered the farex stage as there so small and then we absolutely use mince and many other options by then . When we had our large breed pups it was the polar opposite in what they could eat safely . I would not give a tiny breed a bone until way older . As a note a friend very successful Pom breeder lost a pup at 3/4 weeks as they opted to do the meat suggestion and pup was to small and not ready & choked to death . Small breeds do need a common sense approach

We start our puppies on human baby farex and goats milk. The RC puppy mousse is a good option in your case . . Syringing your way is hard and not ideal but it's working I guess .

Dont go crazy with foods & additivies on the bitch ,you need to take a step back with everything & think logical . What she eats can go into her milk & through her & affect the pups so adding everything on top of the meds shes getting needs to have a common sense approach . We have solely bottle feed numerous pups due to lack of milk,mother refusing,top ups . The time frame its taking you to feed the 2 pups is way too long . Does this syringe have a teat on the end or are you just dripping the milk in ?? We can feed 6/8 in that time . Pooping after meals is not a regular thing we just wee them . Being on formula should not mean the runs unless it doesnt agree with them . Our pups had terrible runs on wombaroo & no one really uses it anymore & divetalact was tno better . Hence why we use goats milk the closest to mums milk . The old hands still use carnation milk . I would still be trying the bottle or looking at whelping supplies webpage for premmie/small dog teats

We never use wombaroo. We use premmie teats and bottle feed every 2 hrs . Every 8 hrs is not a choice . We have also tube feed and it is not easy and gas big issues if done wrong and it's very easy to do wrong . There a plenty of old recipes that can be used but that's based on the fact your savvy and the vet is savvy . Both pups aren't gaining weight in the manner I would expect and if her milk is low neither will thrive . We use goats milk with thickened cream added and bottle raised countless pups BUT there feed on a regular schedule. We have used special brews when required to get pups up j going but this is after our vet being involved a breeder vet . Some pups can be bad suckers especially when getting dehydrated and going flat . The runs may be due to the milk formula,her milk may be going blah . But bottle feeding will happen you have to keep on top off it and not over feeding some pups are hard work but 8 hrs is not going to head help . Vet still sounds like a nob . But

Did the vet know it had the runs?? Did they check for cleft palette? Did they give any form of anti biotics ?? What kind of milk are you using ?? What milk supply does she have ?? I would not tube feed unless you have the right gear & been shown. This pup will be becoming very dehydrated at this point . Is the mother pushing pup away ?? Is it weeing ?? I would certainly be finding a vet savvy with puppies & asap with the Christmas break . There could be many reasons but you need a vet irrespective

Is this the dog that you where getting Cancer treatment on ?? A Toller vet is irrelevant your needing a vet savvy in potentially this area . It could be many issues .

i would read it as only elbows done . From my experiences the reader will clearly right notes of any issues or poor films ,placement etc etc .

Yes & it can take 12 months

laudromat nearly all have a pet wash machines so we go there every few months for a super duper wash but cot protectors are great on dog beds although our dogs beds are baby cot mattresses with cot protectors so much easier .

Yes the bowls being raised is important & often harder with other dogs in the home but they all learn. The baily chair can be very confronting for a dogs & place significant strain on the bag & legs

Just because you feed black hawk doesnt mean its the right fit for your dog . The suggestion of the urinary diet for 2 weeks would be to see if any changes happen quite a normal path & cheaper path to suggest

We have 2 clients with it & boarded 4 dogs with it . 1 client has it mild & the dog lives a wonderful quality life at present 3 yrs. Has to drink from a rabbit dripper & multi mealsDoesnt require meds Its litter mate we board has it extreme must be feed 3/4 meals ,eats in a stand up chair ,cant drink from a bowl must be from a rabbit dripper,puks nearly every breakfast ,had pneumonia numerous times,skinny as a rake .Requires 2 lots of meds to be given 30 mins before each meal . Cant have treats We will only board it for shorts stays ,can only eat prescribed food (they are on the groups & have a great vet but attempts at varying foods options havent worked well so the cans are there only option so $$$ wise they have a costly dog. Breeder did refund there purchase price & stop breeding . Dog doesnt live a great life in the scheme of things . Another client big dogs had to be feed in stand up feeder had terrible pneumonia so many times it finally passed from it . That dog lived a life of hell. Each one has to walked on harness only & finding one of those for each dog is not easy & daily adventures may not be what owners planned with issue ,treats & ensuring all humans follow the rules can be life n death basically ,,summer is a well planned exercise as risk of dehydration is a big as the water intake is a problem . Meals are watered to assist with drinking . The degree of it really makes a difference & if severe it is not a easy path for the dog or humans .

The saying 2 company 3 is a crowd is very true,bad management & Pack management can go pear shape & the big question if it doesnt work out who goes? We are a multi dog household with seniors to younger & its not as simple as many think. The oldies have their needs & get more demanding in different ways in their senior years & pups need enrichment & life skills to learn independence & self confidence ,ensuring all age gaps have their needs meet is consuming when you add & often 3 dogs in the car is not able to be done . The dominant aspect may be a red flag & even though your bitch backs off it doesnt mean that will stay that way if a confident pup comes in . It can be done easily BUT the household has to be committed to the change in pack dynamics & needs during this time ,there is no point thinking everything will be great because there is always pros which are wonderful & the cons which are reality .

Start simple train them by approaching the door but not opening ,teach them that being at the door doesnt mean open door .Sit .stay ,release & walk away from the door .

Sadly a number of those ads are stolen photos & breeders have been involved & accused of being dodgy as people have noted ads with different prices or sellers but same photo on there website,ad etc. Its a sad state of affairs when good people have to deal with the dishonest

We never put photos up,we dont put the cost up & we ask all people to contact us & discuss whether the dog in question is a suitable fit for the home . Do you really want to sell your dog This line would send red flags off for us & most likely say No .We dont just sell to appease the person enquiring .Its a living animal not a rock. Yes you do have to satisfy the breeder you are the right person & i would be alarmed at any that didnt ask questions & just wants to offload the dog . I have no idea if your a dog lover or how much knowledge you have on the breed .You could be a exporter,pet shop supplier ,dog fight ring animal buyer ,you could be a hoarder or someone who thinks its a right to just own a dog & it lives outside 24/7. We get plenty of people wanting our breed who say they have researched but have no idea they need hair cuts 6/8 weeks & its a life long expense to add to the yearly budget, As consumer law has it a breeder is selling a product & we have to make sure the buyer is the right fit ,fully aware etc etc . Over the years i have had plenty of fruitloops contact us for dogs ,our job is to make sure that special dog is going to a special home . Mind you over the years of advertising older dogs except for photos we have clearly outlined the best home fit,requirements & that if your home doesnt fit this is not the right dog for you & we still get people who contact us so either dont read the ad,dont care what is in the ad just want the dog .We have even mentioned no shipping & had every Tom ,Dick & Harry East contact us . I would never buy a dog without having a good chat to the person anyway i want to be asked questions & i want to ask questions ,i want the dog to go to its right home first off not be a circle of life of wrong homes . Photos are being used to often by scammers stealing them for websites & using in ads

For me no i wouldnt bring in a pup but my reasons are different . The oldie has enjoyed a homelife that is simplistic & its norm for a long time ,it still has its fun when it can with its buddy . Make the most of enjoying the harmony . As for the younger dog this is a great time for you to step up & offer different enrichment & be the buddy . 3 dogs can work great or be a total disaster.

Don't worry about muppets like Coneye ,you only have to read there post to see they have no clue or knowledge to give just a Rant of stupidity and suggesting if you get a dog like his the world will be perfect . No dog/breed is guaranteed which any dog savvy person knows.. Forums bring out the wonderful,weird,wacky. What I would suggest is video the pup interacting ,seeing things in motion can be very educational. If pup passes vet visit you truly need to decide and implement your plan . Whether that be rehoming,rescue or what ever that is your choice . And to be brutality honest the sooner the better . Belinda also if you go to settings you will see Ignore user ,just type that person name in & they arent your problem
