Labrador Retriever Breeder Recommendations
Parkeyre replied to Kavik's topic in General Dog Discussion
If I was to ever get a Labrador; I would be going to Copperkee Kennels in QLD. I love their boy Moose! http://www.copperkee.com/ -
On average; Alice gained 55.3gm of weight per day of pregnancy 1. She was two years old. On average; Alice is gaining 128gm of weight per day of pregnancy 2. She is three years old. Maybe the girls keep getting bigger each litter? ETA: This time around I have been supplementing Alice with K9 showstopper earlier in the pregnancy and then Puppy Gold after ultrasound.
-
I know. Her mumma was known for big litters Both pregnancies have been by frozen AI too, which may or may not make a difference? Her first one she was three days early so I'm expecting a similar pattern again with whelping dates. Hopefully this time we have better luck with the survival rate as that was very sad. It's never nice burying babies. ETA: This time Alice has gone from 26kg to 33kgs in 53 days!
-
How many babies did she have last time Parkeyre? Willow has also put on 7 kilos but to me she doesn't seem overly big, I don't have anything to compare her to though as it's our first litter. She is quite wide in the ribs so she may be carrying them high. She had 5 boys and 7 girls. Two of each were still born, and then one girl died at a couple of days of age.
-
I'm guessing eight. Five boys and three girls. :)
-
For those who X-ray; what is the earliest and latest times that you'll x ray?
-
Congratulations on your four babies. Sleep forever sweet darling babies who didn't make it. I bet Mumma is pleased. :) Alice has just over a week to go and is looking huge. She weighed in 7kgs heavier then her last vet visit prior to pregnancy and is heavier (and bigger) than she was for her first litter last year. She's a lot happier and more content this time. She also seems to have her mind made up that the whelping box is not needed this time, as she will be whelping her babies either on my bed or behind the recliner. Goodluck with that Alice!
-
Looking forward to seeing the precious babies. :) Will try and load X-ray images and we can all join in with the guesses.
-
Congrats on the babies. I second the use of Fenugreek powder. Our x rays are this Friday morning. :)
-
Alice is behaving very pregnant. This will be her second litter, last time she looked like she'd swallowed a basketball!
-
I just upgraded to an X Trail! So I can't help you with much. Maybe a van might suit?

Port Augusta Sa Yard Check
Parkeyre replied to Leema's topic in Dog Rescue (General Rescue Discussion)
If no one offers, I can do it next week. Today is my last day off but it's a bit short notice with our schedules. I'm 75kms away from Port Augusta. 0457.314.449 - Bonnie. -
Merle x Merle breedings can produce double Merles (lethal whites), which can have sight, hearing and/or organ issues. It's a 25% chance for every puppy produced by Merle x Merle to be a double Merle, with life long issues. IMO its very unethical and you should run from breeders putting their puppies at risk like that.
-
She looks to have black nose and eye rim pigment, making her a Blue Merle, but also with copper (and possibly some white) markings/points. (Edited because I cannot spell).
-
We could hear puppy heart beats during the last week only.
-
Yes it is fine. :) Goodluck and have fun!

There's your answer. Get a girl. Just put in the work to make it work.

As you know; we have Australian Shepherds. What you may not know is that we had a Saint Bernard live with us for a few months. They got along like a house on fire. But in saying that; our aussies are quite lazy.
-
This is what I see. Eta; well I'm confused.
-
Esky; would you be looking at a puppy or an adult? I think the weight plays a part in the costs as well. Will watch this thread with interest!
-
Yeah. Same here. My dogs have their own debit card, so I have a record of all their costs. I have four Maremma: would you like their entire Veterinary History. :D No thanks, I have four Australian Shepherds, and an entire family who keep their dogs under my name at the vets without always paying their bills.
-
I have not got any insurance for my dogs. I have a linked bank account, a credit card for emergencies and a great vet who would allow me to pay off a veterinary bill. But I understand many are not as fortunate to have full time jobs etc and insurance is a great option for those who are not 100% able at any time to afford a massive emergency bill.

Cheers Tralee. Looking on google, PetPlan has a breeder registration so I've signed up for that. http://www.petplan.com.au/about-petplan/working-with-breeders
