Thanks JRG :)

Thanks for that , i have been researching on the internet and found a heated whelping box in the USA called Dura Whelp. They have a heating system that attaches to the box. Not sure if they will send to Australia but I will email them :)

Hi, I have a litter of Jacks due mid July and was after other breeders opinions re best heating as we live in Tassy and it was -4degrees the other night.Puppies will be in the house but preferrably in our laundry area as we have other dogs inside and would like to keep mum and pups separated in a nice quiet area. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. At present our laundry area is not heated but am trying to decide the best options eg heated whelping box or heater for the room:)

I have a Jack Russell litter due around the 17th of July all going well:)

Thanks for that. I will give it a go. Cheers Sharon

Hi Everyone, I have just run out of show entry forms and was wondering if it is allowable to photocopy entries. I am in Tassy. Cheers Sharon PS I can order more from the TCA but I am not sure how long it will take for them to arrive. :)

thankyou for all that replied. I am pleased to announce that his testes have descended. They are on the small side but they are down. Thankyou again for your help and guidance.

Hi again, No he is not over weight as I checked with my vet when I had him examined. Cheers Sharon

Thanks for that, I have no plans to use him at stud for a very long time but I believe in health testing but cannot see a reason to do the testing if he will never be able to be used as a stud dog.

Hi, My vet checked in recently and could not locate them but felt that they may still come down but that was three weeks ago. I will take him to our repo expert and get her opinion. I am just about to have him DNA tested for any health issues related to his breed but think that I will hold off. Cheers Sharon

Hi Rebanne, no note on his vet records and. Yes I notified the breeder after the first week.

Hi, I am the proud owner of a gorgeous Aussie boy who has just turned 4 months old. I am concerned as I cannot feel either testicle and he is quite a big boy weighing in over 11 kgs. When should I be concerned about this as I bought him to show. I have spoken to his breeder already who stated that they were both there at 8 weeks of age.I have had since he was 9 weeks old and I could not feel them at that time.How long should I wait before it is unlikely that they will come down. Cheers Sharon

Hi, We have a show in two weeks so thought it was about time to remove the glue. No problem with asking the breeder just thought I would get a quicker response from the forum. Cheers

Thank you so much. Off to the chemist now. Cheers Sharon

Thank you so much. Off to the chemist now. Cheers Sharon

Hi all, I am the proud owner of a gorgeous Australian Shepherd puppy named Maverick. When Maverick arrived two weeks ago ,his ears were glued down by the breeder. Only problem is that I am having trouble getting them unstuck! They have a lot of glue on them and it has caused a large hard area that looks impossible to get scissors through without causing damage to his ears. I s there anything I can use to help disolve the glue without hurting my puppy.Any help would be appreciated.

I am considering a golden as my next dog but barking is a major issue where we live. is it common for them to bark a lot.

hi cassie , thanks for that. it gives me a rough idea. cheers sharon

Hi Cassie, Do you mindif I ask you the total cost to bring your st over as i am hoping to import a bernese puppy from NZ in the near future. cheers sharon

Thanks everyone. We have submitted 7 names. I will let you know the outcome

Thanks everyone. There were some good names there but unfortunately most are already taken. I think that this is going to be a long process. Sharon :)

I forgot to mention that her Sire's name is Nicconi and her Dam's name is Already. Cheers Sharon :)

Hi, My husband and I would very much appreciate some help naming our new thoroughbred filly. She is silver grey and we need to submitt 7 names. We have run out of ideas as most of the clever names are already taken. I know that there are some very clever Dolers out there who have a talent for coming up with great names. Cheers Sharon

Thankyou everyone for the replies. I am happy to vaccinate later but was wondering at what age to microchip. I would like to have them chipped at 6 weeks so that I can get their papers ready for the new owners. Cheers Sharon
