Purchased Puppy but Not Breed Standards
Dogsfevr replied to Judgey's topic in General Dog Discussion
I hope you return the dog as obviously the ears will totally impact your respect for the dog as it doesnt look good enough to you The dog certainly didnt sign up for that kind of owner . Im gathering you didnt tape the ears whilst teething ?? Have you tried taping the ears now ?? Where they rose bud as a baby . Are you rubbing them upwards ?? Greyhounds,Whippets many breeds get funny ears whilst teething & we will assist them during the process . And many breeders have ended up in breeds with ears that just dont tick the plan they wished for .it comes under Sh&t Happens & many thousands of dollars spent ,your investment a very small amount & if you wanted perfect & statue would have been cheaper . Yes i get your disappointed but seriously this is a living creature that thinks your its humans & you are p*ssed & want compensation for ears that at 6 months with effort may sit folded . Good things about dogs is they dont judge humans in the same way And yes just like a human you may think your a super model good looking human & have children not getting the same good looks ,the world doesnt end nor are you going to offload your kids . As a breeder no way would i partially refund for prick ears . No dog is perfect nor meets the breed standard in every detail . Yes as a breeder i will refund for issues that impact the dogs health & well being but prick ears nope The breeder has offered you a full refund on return of the pup which is how it works in consumer law . -
The State bodies wont get involved as this is a personal issue at present . Just go to small claims or the relevant body in your state . If you paid a deposit you should have the contract listing the deposit guidelines & the what ifs . If you have in messenger the aspect of refunding copy that . If they have a website that outlines the process copy that . Also read up what the deposit law is in your State & when the item has not become available in the appropriate time . We never took deposits although some breeders do as its like a form of income ,have 1o deposits of $500 you have a nice income happening . It also blows my mind that people hand over money like this on something thats not even born,vet checked or even appropriate for there home without a question

Okay so im imagining this is your 2 yr old rescue dog you asked for help in the other post . The most obvious answer asap is you cant leave this dog in the house unattended . Chances are this dog already has a history & is in the process of going through another set of history . Also keep in mind Beagles tick all the things you have mentioned & are a breed that generally does better in a pack . So the obvious is you need to set up a safe run that this dog can go in when not home . Im presuming your backyard is not safe or suitable if the dog is locked inside when you go out ??

Tips for Managing My Dog's Separation Anxiety
Dogsfevr replied to michaelcarlos's topic in General Dog Discussion
Whilst im not a go onto meds pusher i do believe at times doing a course for a transition plan works so much more successful than letting the problem fester more & more to the point its harder to retrain & meds then often end up being used . I would sooner be proactive 6 months earlier than 6 months later -
It would actually be easier if you listed breeds of interest . You havent said indoor dog /otdoor dog,grooming/no grooming ,what kind of terrain walks,what kind of dog sports interest you .How many km of walkiing would be normal

When you decide you want the dog gone today they either go into kennels or too a foster where they will be assessed for home suitability thats just common sense . Desexing will be for the sale not the taking in . Im sorry but your supposed reason for rehome doesnt make any sense at all. If the dog was happy & brought you much joy & laugher then suddenly deciding being home alone for that time period was wrong to lets get rid off the dog doesnt marry up . Who did you speak too about these concerns before even thinking this was the right choice ??Its unfortunate even for the dog that alot more thought didnt go into it after all the dog didnt sign up for this either & at the end of the day the dog will be the one feeling the biggest confusion & i think im all your wording its all about the humans but very little about we screwed up bigtime & have let our dog down even more . You could have placed the dog in boarding kennels for a week & seen what life was like without the dog & made the serious choice You have legally surrendered your dog with concerns you couldnt provide it with a fulfilling life . Rescue orgs arent about offering second chances when people decide dont want it anymore they deal with all sorts of sob stories & crap as it is plus the dog . Reading there form i gather you paid the $150 surrender fee & the form was very clear about foster,kennels or can you keep it until a foster is available or work with them.

All the Staffies we board are so human friendly they kill you with kindness. Obviously a vet check including thyroid level check is a great start. Then its a be honest with yourself situation. I guess also consider how well do you trust your roommate & room mates friends that come over when your not there .Anyone smoke,heavy drink,any burglaries in the home or area. New neighbours,trades people , To flip like this is significant & requires some serios thought process. Human illness in yourself or roommate .dog has been on the receiving end of something unpleasant

Not a surprise at all if people are following the animal welfare aspects of Europe & people should be worried

For xrays that price is good . As to a second opinion suggest if you have no confidence in your vet yes . I will always advocate for a second opinion but we are lucky that when we pick our chosen vet clinic we do so based on what they can offer as a complete package & skill of the staff . In your case if its a second opinion then it would be with a vet whois a specialist in ortho issues or regularly does the procdeure otherwise your just wasting money . It may not require surgery often a conservative approach can work but you wont know till an xray . If nothing shows up then consider a doggy chiro /bowen person some wont treat till after x rays but those golden hands & water exercise can do alot & management

Albino is not accepting in any breed or form . Some idiots do breed for albinos & bigger idiots buy them whinge when the health issues or cancer care is required in summer . No different to humans

Most in NZ use Massey but the greater majority use LABOKLIN VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY (UK) Cambridge Uni in the UK as well . We wont use orivet

! COLOUR Any colour or mixture of colours - but never merle (dapple) Extended Breed Standard of the Chihuahua - Page 13 Colour may be almost any colour or combination of colours, solid, tri-coloured, marked or splashed. There are fawns, golden fawns, red fawns, silver fawns, blue fawns, reds and creams, sables, chocolates, blues, blacks, whites, creams, etc. The only “colour” which is not permitted is merle (dapple). Colour should NEVER influence any judging decision, as all colours, except merle, are equally correct. As above cream can vary from pale to dark Technically a White Chi would simply be a pale cream so if the people your talking to on Facebook cant explain that then their knowledge is questionable . White -albino is a whole different thing & runfast

Ears change & especially during teething but simple reality shes a rescue not likely breed with keeping the breed feature ears . If the shape & set is wrong they wont ever fix compared to teething ears

In my own breeds the colours have different natures bigtime . In Labs Chocs often are more scatty ,obsessive even now . I handle a very bomb proof Choc but we board alot of fruit loop chocs. I find the blacks more vocal The yellows really good all rounders
