Liz I recommend that you call Dogs Vic (hopefully you get a 'nice' person, and ask them if you can uncheck the box at a later date.

Not that I am aware of.... I would think that if you, as the breeder, wish to change the endorsement that it could be done in a similar fashion to the way in which a Limited Registration can be upgraded to Main Registration. That's what I thought ellz, but I was told by another breeder that it cant be done once it is ticked. Dogs Vic can be a pain in the arse at times and quite rude if you happen to ring them with a question, they treat you like a moron. I asked a question once about this litter and she said to me (exactly) "well Dah!!" (rude bitch). I hate ringing them and going in there, the ones on the counter are the most unfriendly 'customer service' people I've ever come across.

Not that I am aware of....

I spoke to Jet Pet today about flying a puppy from Melb-Syd at 8 weeks of age and they didn't say anything about any new 'guidelines'

Liz like you this is my first litter and I have a similar situation here.... Buyer said PET ONLY now 2 weeks to go and today has said "I have a question, do you have any show puppies still available, we have been to talking to our breeder up here (he doesn't breed rotties anymore but still shows them) and he would be willing to help us show a dog". My response was Yes I do have a show 'potential' male available (haven't decided who is going where yet, they are only 6 weeks old) to APPROVED homes only. I asked WHO the breeder was in her state (different state to me) and then and only then will I make up my mind (after I have investigated this 'breeder who doesn't breed any more but shows' with a few breeder/show friends of mine who have been around for a hell of a lot longer than me, its a small circle in our breed). I have said that if I do decide to sell the boy on MR it will be for showing only NOT breeding (I dont know this woman from a bar of soap, just through our numerous telephone conversations ) and the 'not to be bred from box will be ticked'. However, LR or MR if a person wants to breed there is nothing from stoping them, they just cant register them. The majority of rottweiler breeders dont desex our males until they are around 2 years old. Mine have all been sold to PET homes, because that is what people have asked for, they were advertised as show potential/working and companions. Unfortunately I've not had any enquiries from show homes and would like to see a male of this breeding shown. I am keeping a female and those who have not yet found a home (2 boys) will remain with me until a suitable home is found. Those boys will be the pick boys and will be shown by me until a suitable home is found. I wasn't expecting such a huge litter but c'est la vie ....... 2 weeks to go and I am getting sad as I will have to say good bye to them

Allerzeit, I have Jett remember so I do naughty all the time

Allerzeit I paid $245 for Bandit hip/elbow x-rays earlier this year at Monash, even though they are pricey at lease you know the dogs are placed in the correct position. I would hate to see a dog xrayed incorrectly and given a high score because the person doing the x-raying didn't position the dog correctly. Speak to Michelle and see who she uses in Tassie, although I've not seen her here lately you may have to ask her on FB. As Sam said Prof W has increased his fees slightly, am guessing the wine in Margaret River must have gone up a tad You know Neo can always stay here I dont mind keeping errrr....looking after him for a while

I use Troy Puppy & Kitten Syrup 'Meat Flavour' and none of mine got the runs.

I had someone last night ask : Phone rings.... Me: hello Puppy enquiry : You got Puppies? Me: Yes I have 3 males available to approved homes on limited register Puppy enquirty: How much? Me : $ xxx Puppy enquiry: What's your last price Me : $ xxx (same amount as before) Puppy enquiry: No whats your LAST price, you have 3 left to get rid of, last price Me: I am sorry I cannot help you, thank you for your enquiry (hang up) My puppies are $ xxx they are health tested, vaccinated, wormed, microchipped come with puppy pack includ food (which I get from Artemis breeders program ) - if that's too much that's fine, thats how much they are - I dont discount. People either want a puppy from me or they dont, I could care less. I too do not charge a different price for males or females

LOVE it ..some more on the Doors/Love theme Love Her Madly Hello I Love You Love Hides Love Street My Wild Love Who Do You Love http://www.whosdatedwho.com/music/songs/the-doors.htm *hehehe* I decided to go with 'Hello I Love You' for one of the males ;)

LOVE it

I am the same as the rest Liz, it's a no here too.

Yes she is, her litter is due today The reason I am using the LOVE theme is because Jett's registered name is Willemstadt Elite Love hmm i better rethink our litter theme lol. chandra is due on my wedding anniversary hence love. you have come up with some really pretty ones. and some great suggestions from others all the best with the other rotti litter smooth whelping vibes heading her way. hope you get ten names you are happy with Emery, what about an eternal or togetherness theme. eg. Forever in my heart always by my side soul mate truly yours truly madly deeply its love with a twist. That's a great idea

Thanks BBJ, I have Jett has 10 puppies All looking really nice, some opened their eyes on Sunday night, the rest on Monday. Gotta say that I absoultey ADORE puppy kisses BBJ I used towels for the first 3 days, then vetbed which is awesome! THey seem to have decided that the heat pad is the place to poop *LOL* so I am forever changing the cover.

Thanks everyone, there are some nice ones there!

Yes she is, her litter is due today The reason I am using the LOVE theme is because Jett's registered name is Willemstadt Elite Love

I am not keen on love me tender, endless love. baby love, addicted to love, love conquers all. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

THanks Liz, I am doing well now. Jett has turned into a great mum and is more aware of the puppies now and moves if the squeel. Getting a bit more sleep now, but I am a very light sleeper so any noise and i check on them. Last night i think i got up about 8 times *LOL* Oh and Jett decided it was toilet time at 5am .... spose ya gotta go when ya gotta go!

and the rest of the litter...

Puppies are doing well. Have one struggler who I am having to top up feed with an eye dropper and he doesn't like it at all. He has doubled his birth weight but is just so little compared to the rest. He's a sweet little thing. Here are some pictures of the bubbas at 11 days old.

ellz, do you do sardines as well with the cottage cheese?

what are the pink slushies?

I was told by my mentor to use goats milk and a baby cereal such as farex which you can pick up at the supermarket. ETA cuz I didn't read where you said puppy milk in the OP
