LOL It's Czechoslovakian Vlcak and I don't have that much money to do so but maybe one day /whistful sigh --Lhok

It's a herding breed so some what close. --Lhok

If my husband got his way I would have to import them They are also considered to be a rare breed. --Lhok

--Lhok

Are you sure? --Lhok

dammit... someone beat me to it Ahh well but that is very interesting that Kerry's can come in that coat colour or is that puppy going through coat colour transformation? --Lhok

ok then totally wrong for those guesses then Back to the drawing board. --Lhok

How very tempted are you? oooh so cryptic on one hand I might be close.. on the other I could be so very wrong and I know from your previous posts you love both breeds so I wouldn't want to get it wrong.. Care to throw me a bone on this one I am itching to know.. --Lhok

I am tempted to say a soft coated wheaten or a kerry blue but I don't know if they come in that colour.. Sorta thinking along the Irish terrier breeds. --Lhok

Glen of Imaal Terrier? --Lhok

Yup, was it too easy? --Lhok

--Lhok

Formosan Mountain Dog --Lhok

Lundehund? --Lhok

As far as I know these guys aren't in Aus --Lhok

hmm New zealand huntaway or header? --Lhok

That video was adorable I love how the pup was all Pats please! --Lhok

I am aware that other people have lives and what not, however it really should not take almost a week to answer my question considering it was only about their stance on registered ethical breeders and seeing how they already had stated that they were not opposed to them I would have thought that the answer would have been forthcoming very quickly. It also should not matter if I sent an email from a free email provider considering lots of people only use them. Manners is also a virtue, however it is one that is fading fast from this world --Lhok Do you really think they will answer you ?. I would be amazed if they did. The idea of the rally was to eradicate breeders. Full Stop. well i am a reg breeder and i ask questions of oscar law people and i always get a prompt answer who did you speak to? I sent an email on their contact form. --Lhok Also to add, I am done with this debate. I tried to see things from both points of view, to debate logically. Damned if you do Damned if you don't --Lhok

Well It's been almost a week now and no reply from the people of Oscar's Law when I asked them about the laws they want to bring in and their relation to ethical registered breeders so I have given up looking for their reply. Only bothered to ask them due to someone stating that if we wanted answers they would be forthcoming so even though I knew it was all lip service I thought I would give them a fair go. It sometimes annoys me that I am so cynical that even though I know what will happen but I choose do go out of my way to find out if I was correct. Also on another note I recently spoke to my local member for State parliament and he is interested enough to talk to me about getting breeders and pet shops put on Microchips as a non changeable point of contact for information in case of dog being lost or ends up in a shelter. I would like any help in gathering as much information for and against for this system before I have another meeting with him. --Lhok

RIP Mac I don't condone what the man did, but the family is also partially to blame if the dog was wandering enough to be caught in a trap. --Lhok

O.K. so we ban the sale of live animals in pet shops - what then? People will still be breeding lots of dogs, people will still be buying lots of dogs, people will get more money for what they breed because there is no middle man. No middle man to filter out the rotten operators and act as a buffer between rotten breeders and the new owners. What then? Like everything you have to take small steps to fix the problem and assess how the plan is going then change to suit what crops up. To do so you have to start somewhere, to me the most obvious is to ban the live sale of animals in pet shops. Then people will have to look at where they will get there dog from. In most of the states that have banned the live sale of dogs in pet shops the growing trend was to get their animal from a shelter. In one of the news articles I read that Siks posted they have even started Boutigue shelters to give customers a piece of mind while saving animals from being put to sleep. However damned if you do damned if you don't --Lhok

I am not a breeder of dogs At the time when I first read about the rally I thought it was a great thing (and it is a good thing people are getting it into the public forum) however after the wave of emotion calmed down I looked at the whole thing logically and I didn't like what I was seeing for the future of dogs in the future. It is all good to get emotion behind a cause but if you don't have logic and fore sight for the future, the seeds you sow today can be your demise in the future. I personally think the first step would be ban the sale of live animals from pet shops, like they have in some of the states in America because the whole thing is people will do whatever they want if they know it will get them money. --Lhok
