I agree with giving Finn more time to adjust.

I don't get what your issue is, no one was harsh/rude, several people said they could see it from your side as well as the rescue's side.

Another thumbs up for Dr Bob, we saw him when he was still at Monash Vets. I don't think he'd have any problems with a Rotti. I know slightly different, but he was great with my greyhound.

Aww, great shot

Try Qld where we don't even acknowledge the title ETA - so neuter classes are offered, but you can't get your neuter title?

I certainly think Victoria is lagging behind with offering neuter classes, compared to states such as NSW, where most shows seem to have neuter class.

I thought the same as LMBC, sounds like cat is sitting in front yard attacking people who walk by? In that case, sounds impossible to trap it, so either speak to the owner or speak to the council.

Sorry Sandy, I may be missing the obvious, but I still don't understand what it is you want us to do?

Thanks for all the results

I use Hobson's Bay vet clinic in Newport - http://www.hobsonsbayvet.com.au/. They are fantastic if you ever need something a bit closer to home.

Oops, missed that. Thanks! Vinegar, hadn't thought of that one. To elaborate, we have just replaced our fake turf after 18 months of use. The first lot of synthetic grass we bought was the cheapest stuff available, so I think 18 months was a good result. We have upgraded to a more expensive and hopefully "better" synthetic grass. Also, we just hose it and let it dry off on the ground, I know some people pick it up and hang it on the clothesline etc, but we were a bit lazy, and didn't feel that it needed that.

But I never said that what I said was twisted into it. I said people may want to adopt because if they dont that dog will die it was twisted to say if you buy a dog from a breeder a shelter dog dies I NEVER said that. See so there were no AR rubbish coming from any one until someone tool something and twisted it into AR rubbish. Why assume the post was about you? I'm not going back through all the pages of this thread, but the "don't breed or buy while a shelter dog dies" was certainly brought up, and not initially by you from memory. Because I was quoted and told not to bring that AR shit here Quoted by who?? You quoted Rev Jo, who did not quote you.

Thanks for the results and well done all . Thanks. I'm "babyatiing@ a 15 year old dog that is scared of fireworks ATM so I might have to give it a miss:-( Megan, there is a show on tomorrow (the 1st) as well, starting at 9am if that's any help.

6pm.

I didn't say that AND I hate PETA I said that people see a shelter dog and if it is not adopted it will die and breeders dogs are safe and shouldn't be in danger of dying if it doesn't find a home. Thats why I think some choose to adopt also you can find purebred dogs in rescue/shelter for a fraction of the cost with all medical done. You may hate them but you have bought into their blame game. As to purebred dogs in shelters, you are also buying into the viewpoint that any dog will do. Please guess how many of my breeds I have come across in shelters. Go on. Guess. How have I bought into their game? I simply stated why I think some people adopt rather than buy from breeders. People are free to get their dogs from anywhere they please, if you have a love for a breed that dont hit shelters often or you would rather have one with papers then go to a breeder makes sense to me but most people just want a pet and a shelter dog is what they want. Most? If most people wanted a shelter dog there wouldn't be any dogs in shelters. Sorry most people just want a pet. Not most people want a shelter pet Why do you think that pedigree dogs are not pets? Oh god yes they are pets too. I know some people prefer pedigrees to be pets. Sorry, what do you mean by the bolded? Some people prefer pedigrees to be pets as opposed to what? ETA - wondering if you mean some people prefer pets to have a pedigree, and have just mixed the words around?

Another recommendation for fake grass, as said above Bunnings has different styles or qualities, some are more realistic than others. While she will probably be able to tell the difference, it should help encourage her to know that is where she needs to go. Ours gets hosed several times a week, splash some white vinegar on it 5 or 10 minutes before hosing, helps with the smell.

So frustrating .

Because I did research and went to a good breeder guess not good enough. I find lots of people want greyhounds, greyhound rescue NSW homed 80 this year FOTH placed like 125 dogs last year There seems to be a demand for greyhounds and no trouble finding people who want to take one in. Because adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue is saving its life when other people have turned their backs, their breeders arnt there for them, the owners dont give a rats they face death. Dogs from breeders wont face death or at least shouldn't ever face death just because it doesnt get bought. I struggle with you saying you went to a good breeder when the breeder didn't do anything to help you when you had problems with the dog? Re greyhounds, many people either don't want a puppy greyhound, or aren't willing to pay for a puppy greyhound when there are so many greyhounds advertised as FTGH.

Megan, there is normally not a breed breakdown included with Vic numbers, so until someone gets a catalogue, they can't really let you know what breeds are entered. Is there a particular breed you wanted to see?

Greylvr, if you saw so many poor examples of BB, why did you still choose to get one?

I have used Budget Pet Products in the past with no problems, found them very easy to deal with and fast delivery .

Could you post some of these photos that you have diagnosed illness from?

Thanks for the results
