D & D

We rotate the groups Move to Darwin, people

Doesn't his wife hold a prefix, too? There was some sort of weird swap thing happening for a bit. Any news on her?

All three quarantine stations are run under lease. All leases are set to expire in the next few (5ish??) years. Apparently the land is worth more for development purposes than it is as a quarantine station. The cost of building new facilities is horrendous. No idea what the next step should be

Oooh, especially when she's wearing black and you're on almost first

Sorry to laugh. If you'd like another sister, I have one free to good (??) home You wouldn't last a day before swapping back

A bit late answering, but I agree with Pappy DogsNT could use the extra numbers, and we have lovely committee members

Where does she stand as a breeder, Vicdogs (?) member, showie?

And pillows.................................

The mistake has been corrected thank you and there is no choice on the praying. :D http://www.ntmajorprojects.nt.gov.au/lant/pub/ip4.shtml Damn

:D You don't need a prefix to show her, you just need to be a member of your state's controlling body. Head to the 'Show Ring' section, there's plenty of helpful people to answer any questions. ETA: SwaY beat me to it :D

Er, the NT one has a mistake. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals of the Northern Territory??? Most Territorians I know won't sign this, there's too much praying. "Humbly pray that" "Will ever pray"

(kind of) Sooz, have you noticed that Darwin Group 7's largest class is now neuter?

Love all the photos I iz tired, have rest now I no eating mud Bwaaa haaaa, just kidding I did not push her.........................she just fell

So sorry for your loss. The unexpectedness can make it harder. :D Run free Sophie, you're in good company

That is too cute :D

Congratulations. They do look lovely. I did have to have a second look at the first photo, you looked really, really short

Nice Tri?

I like some of the kid comments. I had a young girl say to me "I like your dog, it looks like a baby cow" (she's a harli Dane). Loved it

Tri'd N Tested Tri'd N True Tri'd N Copied

"You could put a saddle on that" No, your comment is not original, nor is it funny. Oh, and the comments increase exponentially when you're walking two Danes. But I do get quite a few people who are interested in Danes as a breed, so I get to talk about them heaps.

Glad I've never been to the Palmerston one The Bagot Rd one isn't too bad. Most of the staff have been there for a while. They rarely offer me advice (more often than not, they ask me for it). They always seem happy to see my dogs, even when they jump on the counter for a pat or give shoplifting a whirl

My above friend has had two litters in the last few months, 1 Whippet and 1 Beagle and I think has another due in a month or so for yet another breed. All up she owns about 7-8 breeds - I don't see a problem with it. 50 dogs???? It is an impossibility to ensure that all 50 dogs are given proper care and invidual attention. Yes, that does constitute a puppy miller! She is breeding as a means to earn herself a considerable income and that is a NO NO. It is a disgrace! How dare you. You do not know this person, nor do you have any idea about where or how she and her dogs live. Oh, you know the 'income' level her dogs bring in? She breeds for herself, not income. Her retired dogs stay with her (they make up a good percentage of those 50 dogs). Actually I've sent two of my dogs there. A much loved boy and a girl that was my pride and joy. I couldn;t be happier with the time and effort that goes into those dogs. The boy sleeps in the kennels, which is fine by me, that's where he was here. The girl, lives in the house and baby sits the smaller breeds. This lady is so far from a puppy farmer that it's not funny. Immaculate house, dogs kennels, acres of grass and care that is second to none. You should be very careful not to judge a breeder by their numbers. Well said. I'd love to live there

Dane results. Thanks SwaY

Usually in the back yard with a hose. It doesn't get cold here, so that works year-round. Although, I have been known to have a dog follow me into the shower. One, in particular, often beats me in

I doubt another day will go by without you thinking 'what if'. You did all you could, so much more than others would have or could have done. If words and caring thoughts could take away a little of your pain, I'm sure DOLers would have you pain-free in an instant. Still sending cyber-healing-vibes (and a little bit of cyber-Dane-drool for Phoenix).
