Can do.... we will be in Bathurst tomorrow.. let me know if this helps.

Yep, great results here too! the salve only affects the bad area, now depending on how badly affected the area is as to how much will be effected. IYKWIM The salve has no effect on good skin, so the corrosive issue doesnt wash with me.

I dont know who Plutopup is but I give them credit for speaking up!! I also know of another little dog (Pekinese) who was left severely handicapped by this salon and I do wonder how many more victims that there are?? RIP Buddy What do you mean? Plutopup, I note you have one post only, being this one. Are you the groomer, or maybe owner? Could you share your story with us please? RIP Buddy, Sleep forever sweetly beautiful man.

Bloody horrid things! I hope HHH will be OK and home again soon

Ditto what Clyde says

Nothing much has changed, but the names of some of the dogs may be different now, as our numbers do go up and down! As we've been doing this what feels like almost forever, and they are all welcome here if they are in need. Pups of any breed (or breed cross) may be 'easier' to rehome, but the secret is finding the right home for that specific pup. My preference is for the adults, and the oldies are all special.

I just listed a 7 yr old dog, yep simple enough I used the drop down to the 7 and clicked! voila! magic! and when it accepted the listing it said 6 yrs 11 months and 4 weeks!! :laugh: Now when you look at the listing it only says 6 yrs and 11 months! Bloody joke! If the breeding is unimportant with a rescue so is the age IMHO, so why be so pedantic with trivial information Very disappointed and I agree give us back the old site. At least it worked and was readable. Considering we are the users we should have been consulted

Im sorry Lilly Pilly! but I can see many many issues here and ones about to happen!

There has been a new post on her page...... and in my opinion, it will never be Ok for a hairless breed to be living in a kennel in -2oC weather while its snowing!!!!! :mad:mad What sort of person starts looking for homes for day old puppies, and it seems that dogs are finding homes but not actually leaving! something is very wrong here As we know, it is very easy to find the dogs that are needing new homes but realistically harder to actually find them homes. What about a return policy if the dogs dont work out??

What do they need? Happy to help if I can.

I have never heard of them, and from what I can see from their personal FB page, the pups they just 'sold' were bred by themselves, BYB style. No mention of desexing.

I can do sweater style or Pyjama style in fleece. If your interested email me her measurements.

My two pups here out playing

I know Denise, Clyde is a treasure!! and I am extremely grateful to her for taking these on, as I also have two more pups here with me. 4 pups total in care = 1 male and 3 girls. All pups will have all there vet work done prior to finding new homes!

By far my favourite photo! It is amazing how quickly they have found the comfy spots :laugh: What smart puppies!

Hi ellz send me his measurements, are you fussy as to what colours

and further to Jed's link, for those who would like to keep up to date, would like to know more or for those who would like to help in some way, go to The Pet Parents Action Group

Well done Clyde, Im sure that wouldnt have happened if you had stayed silent! In NSW anyone who breeds dogs and cats should comply with the Breeding dogs and cats code of practice http://www.dpi.nsw.g...of-practice.pdf edited to add... Yes, and vaccinated, it always surprises me why anyone would buy a new pet if it has never been near a vet and hasnt had at least one vaccination. 8.2.1.8 Kittens and puppies must be vaccinated against common infectious diseases in accordance with best practice clinical guidelines, in consultation with a veterinary practitioner.

All dogs and cats must be microchipped prior to be given away or sold, 12 weeks or not http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/caa1998174/ PART 2 - COMPULSORY IDENTIFICATION AND REGISTRATION OF COMPANION ANIMALS <a href="http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/caa1998174/s8.html">8. Identification required from 12 weeks of age and before sale http://www.ccac.net.au/files/Compulsory_microchipping_UAM06Garrett_0.pdf This is a two step process, with identification with a microchip by 12 weeks of age, point of sale, or change of ownership, whichever occurs first. Lifetime registration is required by 6 months of age.

Steve, the dogs guarding the sheep in this scenario, can I ask what they are like with poultry? or are they specifically sheep only dogs?

Probably because Im biased and they are the majority of what I deal with and the easiest to read. In 2008, we had the most numbers of dogs in care than any other year, all coming from very different situation, with very varied temperaments and needs. Included in this number was 12 pups which I never advertised and only offered to people who I felt had the ability to raise/live with an intelligent quickly growing dog. So even with the pups on the ground, the adults were for me the easiest to place into situations because once I knew what each dog was like and good with, I could match them better to new situations. Like any breed, pups can go either way, some turn out right and some dont! the largest problem with dogs (of any breed) not working out in previous homes is that the dog didnt come up to the owners expectations, ie if you expect 'high obedience' dont get a LGD!, if in suburbia and they bark bring them inside, dont leave them out! dont think it's OK for a dog to learn to jump fences and then wonder why they dont want to stay on your property. I have been asked why we have so many, are they hard to live with? the answer is the dogs are very easy to live with... the hardest part of rescuing these guys is finding the RIGHT homes for the dogs. Andrea, can you explain why you would always choose an adult?

Bruno, I sympathise with your situation and you have been given some great advice in this thread! Im sure that you're aware, that your present course of action is the only possible way forward to deal with your current fox issue. My only other suggestion would be to bring all the lambing ewes as close to you as possible so that you can supervise them while they are at there most vulnerable. Over the last 10 yrs of rescuing maremmas and other LGDs, I have placed quite a few successfully onto large acreage, but these dogs that were suited for those positions most definitely werent dogs that were suitable for the average family to take on and no dog was ever placed until it had spent time with, and proved to be 100% trustworthy with, the stock that I was placing them with, and that included the the new owners ability to work with the dogs to integrate them into their situation. If you asked me what my preferred choice was .. a pup or adult... I would always choose an adult, but it is not just any adult dog that would suit or even adapt to your situation. Also, too many people think that just because it is a Maremma it will be 'good' on acreage because that's where it is supposed to be, but like any other breed, if the dog never been on acreage and has not previously been exposed to stock, it will be a disaster waiting to happen. Dogs can be successfully integrated, however, this cant be rushed, if the dog is introduced the wrong way or given too much freedom too soon, .problems will arise.
