Aziah

Brooke - I am posting on behalf of Ben's breeders, they are no longer members of this forum and cannot post so I am acting on their behalf. They are confused, upset and somewhat angry that they have not been contacted in regards to Ben's situation. Could you please either contact me privately or make contact with them, they should be your first port of call as the breeders of your dog.

9-10?

Congrats Kelpie's Rule, lovely pics... Erin - way to go, keep up the great work! Abby is looking really lovely

and BOY is she cute Benshiva she's such a character Was watching her in gen specials in the first show OMG she was definately the cutest one in the line up She had a very cheeky look on her face especially when she didnt want to walk Congrats on her cracka of a start! Thanks :D I wish you'd seen her in general specials at the PM show - she really motored around she's like a wind-up toy

Baby 'Ever' (Aziah Break It To Me Gently) made her debut yesterday (2 shows)...back to back BABY IN GROUP wins

They are doing very well

See you on Saturday The Ark

Bath as you normally would and make up the reccomended dilution of Fido's Fre-Itch Concentrate and dip him in that. Wash all bedding...

We all deal with things differently and in this case the breeder has made you aware that the puppy wasn't 100% and that it was most likely not going to be able to be collected that day. If it had been one of my babies I would have advised that the puppy wasn't 100% and that I'd update you the following day - that would allow me ample time to assess the situation, hopefully find the problem and see what sort of improvements were happening in 24 hours time. Glad it's all sorted now

Send me a PM with your email addy and I'll send you mine...

I maintain that for many, 2 puppies at the same time is asking for trouble...

Do they have beans in them?

What you've read is correct, I know you're searching for a reason why but you may not find it

Actually, a lot of potential show dogs do go to pet homes - either because the breeder can't keep on everything they like from the litter, or because sometimes your pick doesn't turn out as well as its sibling 12 months later. That's true but what about the person who has a neutered pet who has faults that the breeder didn't want anywhere near a show ring? I can bet that from now on all pet home dogs will be placed on the Limit register. But that won't help those that have already been sold and are still on the Main register. I actually not opposed to this move but I think people need to look at all of the implications. It's only the breeders fault if their pet homed puppies start turning up in the Neuter classes, can't blame anyone else for not putting puppies on the Limited Register.

Not going to happen to me, as they were all on limit. But, any of the main registered failed show prospects that I've desexed and parted with over the years could well turn up, regardless of their faults. Food for thought, if you are going to pet out a failed pup that you ran on, you'll need to down grade it to the limit register, to prevent the above from happening. I've done that once or twice and will certainly ensure it happens in the future :rolleyes:

Well for most breeders that won't be an issue - pet puppies should be sold on Limited Registration so they won't get the chance to be shown as a neuter regardless.

Mine seemed to die off all on its own but I've noticed some coming back now and I'm currently deciding on the best course of action...none of the dogs have ever reacted to it but you never know. I'm reading things like RoundUp (but painting it on each leaf ) but most seem to think that manually pulling it out is the only 'green' way to remove it.

I agree, that's a reasonable idea Sandra...

Most pet puppies are sold with limited registration however that can be altered but I'd not be willing to alter it until I've had proof of that puppy being spayed/neutered and I felt it was worthy to be shown.

I wonder if they can take the Whippet if they'll bring my dryer back?!

Now all we need to do is to get the clubs to participate!

I do how excitment!

I think that now they are offering this title they need to make at least one neuter class mandatory at all Championship shows. I think it's a wonderful idea

I have been trying to find national dog and havent been able to find one in over a month i feel like ive missed one! Did you get the dog news annual Bec? See kite? Hope ya feeling better soon! You can now read the January Ringleader online...
