Is there a maximum height allowed for the Saint Bernard?

season two has finished now, when i get it sent to me I am happy to post you a copy too if you like. ;)

I like the colour of your floor boards. That song reminds me of the True Blood song. Lol.

When I purchased Millie; Belinda and Lesley (the breeders) sent down a puppy pack (as did the breeders for my other Aussies), but what made Millie's puppy pack more special then Jack and Cooper's packs was that Millie's came with a disc full of week to week photos of Millie from birth through to 8 weeks. It also had photos of her littermates and both stack and play shots of her. These photos are my favourite photos of Millie to this day, particularily one of millie at an hour old. I have been really lucky with my aussies, and the three breeders of my aussies. They are all really nice people and I am very lucky to have them as mentors and people for advice. Each of my dogs came from their breeders with a puppy pack folder set up, and each of them have since been converted into a large folder with dividers for each pup. *goes to grab giant folder* Millie's folder came with a photo of Millie, her call name, pedigree name and her breeders kennel prefix on the front page. then it had the breeders contact information, Millie's paperwork, her microchipping form, some history on the breed, the breed standard with diagrams for sturcture etc. It also presents me with information regarding Millie's birth night, she was the 5th puppy out of the litter etc, and I also was provided with photocopies or the sire and dams hip and elbow scores, their eye exam certificates and my puppy's vaccination and litter screening details. Because Millie is co-owned i was also sent the partnership agreement and other littler bits of information on the breed. Millie's folder also came with a new toy, and a bag of dog food. Cooper's folder gave me a wealth of information regarding everything from what to expect on his first night with me, to feeding at different stages of his puppy hood through to maturity and beyond. It presented me with information regarding what he's been treated with in the way of vaccines, fleas, heartworm etc and provided me with details on when he would next be due. Some things particularily appreciated in Cooper's folder was the list of Poisonous Plants and the list of drug problems in the breed. Cooper's folder has photocopies of his sire and dams hip and elbow scores, their pedigree papers, eye examination certificates and CEA/CH certs. Cooper's microchipping details were there as well as information for PetRegister.com.au - a free pet identification service that gives you a free dog dag to reunite you with your pup if it goes missing. Jack's folder also came with a bag of the dog food he'd been raised on. Jack's folder came with photocopies of all the sire and dams information like the other folders, also Ivermectin Sensitivity testing, photos of his sire and dam. It also has information on Dogs Victoria (where the pup was purchased from) and the Companion Dog Club, a list of obedience training clubs and contacts, information on the difference between limit and full registration, contact information for all of the breed clubs, with my breed highlighted. There was also a brouchure for dog toy products made in australia that are the right size for my breed. Something that stood out from Jack's paperwork was the information provided on what Jack had been feed, where i can purchase it, exactly whats in it, how much is recommended and when, and i was presented for gift coupons for the food as a gift from my breeder. Jack's folder also came with a new toy, and a bag of dog food. - - - - - - - - - - - - Somethings i would have liked to have seen also put in their folders would be : - copies of awards the parents have rec'd, - a pictorial breed standard, - Applications for registration of membership into your state's Canine Association, - a listing of the year's exhibition dates, with highlighted dates of particular interest for learning more about the breed, - A contact for a breeder of your breed in your state if you've purchased interstate. - Copies of topics regarding the genetics and health of my breed. eg: Multi-Drug Sensitivity(MDR1) eg: Canine Epilepsy eg: homozygous ("double") merles eg: Collie Eye Anomaly ETA: Wow, my post looks super big, my bad. One other thing I'd love to see put into my folder would be a 5 generation background of my sire and dam and a page notifying me of Dogzonline.com.au and the forums. Oh woops, should have read through all of the other posts before making my humungo post. - I think a CD with photos from birth to 8 weeks and maybe some video would be special. - I like that mine all came with a bag of the dog biscuit they were weaned onto and information for weaning onto another brand. - I also like that mine all came with a toy, and Jack's breeder also sent down a towel in the crate that smelt of "home". I am good friends with the local engraving company here and I have had them engrave my dogs's pedigree and call name onto stainless steel bowls. It looks really good and is just something extra special for each of my dogs. I am really happy with the way it looks and it cost me less then $10 for the bowl and the engraving. A year on and it still looks fantastic. Maybe this could be something extra nice for a puppy buyer to be surprised with.

Offtopic; but you know your a DOL addict when you recognise those dogs from here, both Finnish and not.

Did you get to see the mother and other pups in the litter? that oculd giv eyou an idea as to what she is. Whatever she is, Zoe is gorgeous!!!

I have to agree with this, My Aussie Shepherd puppy was taken to them today.

YAY daisy and huski!

Why are you in qld! everything would be awesome here in my SA backyard.

RIP Memphis.

I'm so sorry

RIP beautiful bella. xx

Cooper eats oranges, peel and all. Also lettuce and capsicum

i switched from X amount of Kibble to half with chicken wings (very fatty )

Your socks will generally only last 6-24months, you're going to have your beagle for a long time. I'd be making sure that I am the pack leader and putting my foot down regarding the clothes stealing. If it takes a few pairs to get through to her that its bad and she doesnt get played with over it, she'll stop. Give her a stern "BAHH" when she goes to pick up anything, then distract her. Get her some toys, rubber, plastic, rope etc.. not fabric. Teach her what is hers, and what is yours. Pick your clothes up off your floor.

oh dear. i have nothing to add for you, but i hope that Molly is okay, and you are too. Give her a cuddle for me please?

Try CHicken necks instead of chicken wings. the tips of the wings are VERY FATTY. I would think that wings will only contribute to his weight, going on the experiences I've had. I use chiekn WINGS to keep weight ON my girl.

Their skin is great, they didnt smell, their coats looks/felt lovely. I would say that what you are doing with their diets atm is really good for them. They're looking great. =D

Oh dear, this happened only yesturday. lol

sounds fantastic. my guys LOVE it.
