Im the opposite all my active large breed pups are taught how to switch off . I do walk mine within reason as they need to be lead trained and experience the world but its a short walk We don't teach leash training in our backyard & all our pups from 5 weeks play in the front garden so they see cars,bikes ,kids & any other noise . You can simply sit out the front on leash . As for weight im not a fan of too lean ,my large breeds pups are well covered they grow quickly and a underweight pup can suddenly be anorexic when it grows so adjusting the weight to growth is important ,I see far to many lean pups up to 12 months & then they struggle to get weight or condition on . Your breeder should be a wealth of knowledge though & don't be afraid to ask them questions us breeders want to hear from our puppy buyers & give them sound breed knowledge

I would be taking them to an eye specialist & getting a BAER test done . The question i would ask myself is would i take on this pup for ever ,if the answer is no them i consider the same applies to other people.

If your breeder is a good one there diet sheet & knowledge should be your first discussion point. What is best is what suits the dog & even the breed not all food work well with all breeds so what people may suggest could be a nightmare for your dog. Is there any reason you don't want to follow the breeders diet chart??

Should hace said it won't be live & there vidoeing some breeds that will be placed on that site at some point but its great for other shows anyway

Crufts themselves only stream main ring events ,another UK site are going stream some breeds at random or people video themselves & post to you tube . They have never shown breed judging just clips during interviews with judges

Training a Dobe to stack itself & hold a good carriage isn't that simple . I help train Dobes for the ring & all are taught to be stacked manually & are use to having the tail handled/touched a very important part of the ring especially when being examined by the judge . Teaching the stand que is easy teaching a pup to stack true & look good at the same time is a whole different ball game

Depends on the breed & what its requirements are on the stack . Many options but training a good sound stack in the first place can vary from breed to breed

You don't get any acknowledgement or Ref # with Virgin atleast with AAE you get sent out paperwork & ref # when you book The dog will be booked as special requirement so you can't do online boarding pass you must check the dog in first & then you do your check in at the airport Toll will have the info but life would be easier with some acknowledgement

Don't pander to here you will create a monster that isn't fun after awhile. Eating yes some like privacy but leaving foood for 30 mins nope ,ours get the 5 min rule no eat no food , Our Minis love going outside in the rain but again its time to reset the rules outside is toilet no matter what the weather is . Nipping heels again not acceptable & OH needs to address you can be a dogs playmate but both parties should have mutual respect.This isn't typical Mini behaviour & if you have young kids around at any stage may not be fun . From other posts you haven't had her long also consider that toileting inside could be because she is confused at what you expect from her. Just make sure she isn't being pandered to so much that she isn't becoming insecure ,she may respect you more because you treat her as a dog but still with love a mutual respct for each other & she nows where she stands with you but everyone needs to follow the same rules so she feels she fits in & nows where .

You can visist to groom ,you must pay $160 for someone to stand there & watch you

Im confused why you asked for advise then ??

We always confirm our bitches are preggo so we now. Personally i would be at the vet whilst its day hrs especially if you aren't sure & if your vet isn't very offay in breeding look elsewhere

We have double figure & coated breeds but i think it comes down to what your willing to sacrifice & commit too & whether you are able to house the dogs if things go pear shape with larger numbers & you are able to nothave favs & work with all ages & needs equally . But it also comes down to council regs ,like mentioned car size && whether the whole family is on board to also willing to put themselves out. Above all the dogs already at home need to be considered as to whether they are happy for new additions or not after all they make or break the dynamics

*I would never attend a royal without a crate.not a fan of chaining especially when you don't now who your neighbours are & the dogs can chill out without my attention (toilet run,eating,snooze or just a wander to stretch my legs ) . *Cool coats if its hot its horrid in there *Chair ^headache tablets *we take our own drinks or certainly enough to hopefully last & buy lunch *A dog trolley if you have one is awesome for carting stuff if not a luggage style trolley or courier trolley to place items on & pull,if need be use plastic containers to store stuff in to cart more loads . *A very secure walking lead especially when leaving & having to walk through the crowds & past the roller coaster ,its chaoes at departure time * If you have a friend with you get your car around 4/4.30 & start loading as much as you can I actually found Sydney Royal to be disappointing for buying stuff so don't get to excited

The goat had better manners than the dogs

We board lots of dogs on it & no one has had issues nor have we seen any changes in those dogs . I would sooner use Sudafed

If flying way cheaper as excess unless of course your ticket for the time you want costs a fortune to. For my 38 kg dogs plus the crate i pay around $275 each way . Never had issues with the dogs being cancelled if something required that & it has happened once new arrangements where sorted & no drama at all .

Actually teaching tricks as part of your training works wonders & keeps a puppies brain working . Mine get taught to do high 5's or any trick they may foster themselves ,yes it means very little but there desire to please you whilst performing these things is often 100 percent more doing sit over & over again . My current boy is a leg weaver & his whole body language changes when he gets to do this & the focus is so much better generally i use it for his reward for doing things right . Like mentioned shaking hands many dogs love so having a good sit is required ,rolling over or playing dead is part of the drop,high 5's can be part of the sit or stand . Mine are showdogs but i still enciurage tricks because they enjoy it

I often think the better question is am i being selfish keeping my cherished pet alive . I believe most people in there heart now there time has come its then making the decision that becomes hard. Whilst they may have good days i still evaluate what a good day has become & often that is still a struggle. Our oldies are very cherished here but i guess after having to make the choice many times now each time it becomes easier because we take great comfort in knowing what we are doing is the right thing & i can take comfort in that decision plus like all people we have hang on to a dog one time to many & that is harder to accept even many years later ,we do have regrets with a few that we let them go longer than we should have & it stays in your mind I had to pick her up to bring her inside For me this line would hold alot of value in my decision & has done so for one of my dogs & the reason why. It was summer,if we went out & this happened we weighed up the worse case scenario & for us it wasn't pretty & not a way i wanted to see my dog .I had seen her struggle to get up on one two many occasions & the fear in her eyes at being completely incapable of getting up was heartbreaking . But as others have said its personal & only you can live with the time you select

yep i would be sending back to & the fact the previous owner suggested valium is rather odd. This dog shouldn't be your problem or anyone elses problem & i don't say that lightly
