Spoke too soon, it arrived this morning!! Hubby wont let me open it till he gets home (and of course he's working late today!) ah the anticipation.. I hope everyone's arrives soon!

I'm starring to get a little worried. The last tracking status was on the 15th November and it had left NY on its way here. How long has everyone else's taken?

Things are disappearing from my cart! I went away for five mins and the puzzle ball and a couple of other things (that I can't remember, wow I think thats a sign I am buying too much!) have gone. Thanks for linking! EDIT: Oh no! Now the whole website is down!!

Where abouts are you, if outer east or heading out through Beaconsfield, I may be able to help out. Do you have a store Austerra? We are up in berwick every Saturday and just noticed we are running rather low! Yep, in Beaconsfield Plaza near Aldi, if you know the area we are just along from the chemist opposite Subway. Ah I know the one! Will stop by next time I'm up that way :-) Thanks!!

Yes she is a German Shepherd, no she is not a cross (the amount of times I've been asked if she is a wolf is crazy!), and yes I'm 100% sure she is purebred. Oh, but i GSD's don't come in that colour, so her breeder must've lied to me but then when you ask if they have seen 'send in the dogs' the little light bulb goes off. Shes not scared of you, just because she doesn't give a s**t that your there. And her moving away from you means she doesn't want you to touch her, not that she's scarred and might bite you! (although if you don't get the hint and leave be alone....) Shephers are aloof! I was asked once if my dobe (rip ) was an Alsatian, that's just wrong on so many levels! And no I'm not scared he'll turn on me in my sleep, or their brains grow to big for the skull and they snap, ect.. That's all I can think of with little sleep.

That's a good point Jules! Gosh it'd be a worry if it did cause a fire! Hey Jessca C tick compliance is not something that is obtained in the US, it's an Australian standard. There are many things you can import but would need to obtain certain compliance for such as motor vehicles etc - you can bring them in but not use them. Hope that helps clarify :) Where does the department of communications do dog patrols to see if they are wearing non C tick approved Ecollars :laugh: The C tick requirement more applies to commercial Ecollar resellers within Australia. :laugh: I'd like to see that! The sticker rubbed off I swear! Interesting.... I thought they were illegal to import without a permit, but not illegal to buy in Aus. I tried to buy a radio fence collar from overseas several years ago and customs siezed the collar, but not the remainder of the package (wire, instructions etc). HOWEVER - looking here (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/num_reg_es/ciar20085n226o2008622.html) it appears that ban has been lifted. Collars designed to bruise or puncture the skin are still illegal to import. The list of restricted imports can be found here http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4369.asp This older thred may have some answers too http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/166765-importing-training-gear-from-the-usa/ Hope that helps. Thanks Tumbleweed!! I ended up ordering one from K9Pro (thank you to thr very helpfull Bec who answered all my questions!!) Can't wait to get a new one!

There is also K9IQ in berwick. http://www.berwickk9iq.com.au/

You can import prongs, it's just restricted (i.e. you need to have a permit). There isn't an import restriction on e-collars but the warranty won't extend to Australia and there is no C Tick compliance which makes them illegal to use or even own anywhere in Australia. Besides that, the shipping costs usually make importing small numbers of collars quite expensive. Thanks Huski! Please excuse my ignorance, but if you can get the same model here and overseas wouldn't they both be exactly the same (in regards to the c-tick compliance) Thank you! M-sass I don't believe they are illegal to own(unless, as Huski said, they are imported). From memory the use is restricted but not illegal (may depend on each state tho).

Yep, as far as I am aware the import ban was lifted a few years ago.

Just wondering what the advantages are of buying ecollars in aus over getting them o/s? When they are so much cheaper in the USA, would the only difference be a charging adaptor and warranty? Thanks in advance!

JulesP I believe escapes and xtrails are quite similar :) If you get the measurements you might be lucky!

Great ad!! Thanks for sharing

Our old dobe (rip) had ingrown hairs in the same spot. Bloody vet gave us a heart attack when he mentioned the word cancer. But luckily it was just the hairs. He only ever had it the once so hopefully hamish is the same!

These are photos of a 40cm, but you get the idea of how we did it. It's doubled over (you can see where the light shows thru one side more than the other) And how wr've taped it. It looks dodgy but does the job. Sorry I didn't take any on my dobe, he was asleep and I didn't have the heart to wake him :laugh: If you want a pic with him wearing it I'll take one later (although the 40cm is way to big on him).

We used a 35cm ecollar for our dobe. It was the perfect length but his neck was to thin, so we had to tape it a bit smaller then attach it to a collar so it would stay on. Looks pretty dodgy, but does the trick :) I can post up a pic if you like. It took several different sizes to finally work this out, after having a few dobes at work (a vet clinic) getting to their staples.

I am s very sorry to hear this I lost my dobe boy late last year very suddenly too. A week before his 4th bday. I understand completely how you feel, and my thoughts are with you in this tough time. Again I am very sorry

Naw so cute :laugh: I miss Lexi's zoomies! She's still a nut but it's not cute like Roscoe anymore. I think you need to put more pics up ;)

This is exactly what I was going to write! My parents had dobes and nothing can compre to them (in my eyes). They are great looking, loyal, intelligent, low maintenance, great parents (to human babies that is) ect. I hope our kids grow up with the same experiences I had with them. Why we chose a GSD - something different I suppose(maybe we're a little racist ad only like German dogs as we were also considering a Rotty :laugh: ), 90% of our dobes have /had health issues and watching them pass away so young (although not all their/breeds fault) really ripped my heart apart. I'm still struggling with loosing my heart dog late last year a week before his 4th bday. So we decided on a shepherd because they have alot of the same quilities as the dobes (I'm not saying their healthier, just something different whilst I'm getting over the loss of my boy). And we are so happy with the change, Lexi may be whiny and a fluff ball but we love her personality and temperament. We chose working lines over show, probably cause we are a little crazy! And love a good challenge. We hope to get another dobe in the future as honestly nothing can compare to them!

Haha that's great!! :laugh:

Love this thread!! :laugh: Here are a few of my lot. Can't be comfy "What I'm not doing anything..." This is the first time I've been thru these pics since Kaiser passed away "Is there something on my face?" Sorry not a dog, but had to put it in. "Look into my eyes, I didn't steal the toilet roll..."

My girl is the same, when she is playing by herself she crazily shakes her toys around (see example picture of her nuttyness). Although still only young, she is far from "weak on nerve". She has a full mouth, calm grip. She does occasionally shake if playing with a tug (learnt behaviour as she did it once and ripped it out of our hands, so she now knows it can get her the toy) but it is not due to her nerves. Anyways back to topic... And more cute puppy pics are needed :D

Thanks GSF! I wouldn't mind pics (but it's not my thread ) http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=735035 :)
