If there are direct flights then the transport should be same day? The breeder who I sent chilled to did the AI herself at home.

This website http://www.greatdanes.net.au/scores.htm has the current average as 7.3

We sent chilled semen from NSW to WA earlier this year. It was collected monday AM, arrived in WA Monday PM, was used Tuesday and Wednesday and produced a litter of 5. It's important that the people the other end have progesterone tested the bitch and that their vet is savvy in timing so that collection and shipping can be done at the appropriate time.

Yes - had one bitch have a dreadful reaction and the hair fell out in a neat line most of the way down her back

It doesn't even look like a canine...

Thanks Ons that is a good report and I'm everyone will be still be extra vigilant :)

Agreed, good meaty bones of varying sources. We don't feed dry here, bicthes in whelp are fed a raw diet right through :)

Totally agree - if you autopsy collect him and take him to another vet!

Me too.

Yes! Thank you, she looks great, best wishes :)

Please post it here - I really dislike how FB has taken over so many other mediums.

Just to chime in on this topic - congrats on the DM Cear status for your bitch and puppies. For those of you considering testing, I and many other Pembroke breeders have been successfully using the Vetnostic Lab in the USA. Turnaround time is very good given the distance (kits usually arrive within 10 days of ordering and results generally within 10 days of posting back AND very reasonable pricing. http://www.vetnostic...epherd-dog.html

It's 1 tablet for children 6-12 years so I'd look at no more than 1/4 tablet and see how you go. you could always try 1/8 tablet to start and give another 1/8 if that's not effective.

What's the dose for humans The Ark?

This is such an odd thread...why the OP continually refuses to answer questions (such as what the point of this thread is) is just beyond me (and clearly many others)! ETA: I am enjoying the photos though :)

Yes, like this!

Maybe the article/s I saw wasn't genuine purebred Min Pin then, I really know nothing about the breed so just tookit for what it was and believe dhwta I had read now what's the saying?...don't believe everything you read!

Cash and sash - for everything!

I stumbled upon about 3 articles some years back all showing a couple of pups/adults with ear, leg and tail feathering and some undercoat. I can't provide you with links because a) it was so long ago and b) I got to them inadvertantly via other breed links within pages that mentioned them. Basically the articles all were similar (so perhaps same source?) and all suggested that this happens every now and then in the breed and showed the photos. Nothing indepth about why or genetics just taht they "popped up" from time to time! WHich seems to fit with your posting earlier. Sorry

Dont Bet on it. There was a pretty high profile case in a chihuahua puppy, the sire was Gates Adam a very definate longcoat and cant remember the name of the mother, she too was a unmistakable longcoat. DNA proved absolutely the smoothcoat pup was their puppy. Ask Dogs NSW about it, cannot remember when but it was the talk of the chihuahua world at the time. The new owner of the pup wanted papers and was determined to get them. DNA gave him just that. Some one goofed bigtime when they said two longcoats cannot produce a smoothcoat. Is the long coat gene of the Chi genetically the same as that of the GSD? I don't think anyone goofed and I feel certain that in these "odd" cases there have to be more modifying genes at work. That's no uncommon I've read about it several times? It's well documented.

Contact the State Canine Control...

I'd like to see the DNA results for the coat genetics of each of those parents then because I'd question their coat length if that was the case. Or the Coat length DNA of the supposed short stock coat pups.

Breeding LC x LC will only ever produce LC. Unless you meant LC x SC in which case (in theory) the result would depend upon whether or not the SC parent was carrying the LC gene. If the SC was carrying in theory there would be LC puppies. If the SC was not carrying the LC gene then no resulting progeny would be LC however they would all be SC carrying the LC gene. SC (non carrying) x SC (carrying LC) would only produce SC. In my own breed, long coated carriers are known as "Fluff Factored" and those not carrying are known as "Fluff Free" :)

My homebred girl "Avery" (Ch Aziah Curiouser And Curiouser) qualified and we received our invite in the mail yesterday. Unfortunately we won't be able to attend but I am very proud to have had her qualify.
