That's what I saw as well on the packet when I looked at it the other day. I found it a bit misleading. 50% meat doesn't = 50% protein. Meat isn't all protein matter. i.e. 100grams of chicken may only contain 30g of protein. I know but the way it was written made me think they meant 50% protein. I found it misleading. And it isn't 50% meat in my book when chicken and turkey meal were the first 2 ingredients.

not enough food by any means. 2x4's a not a meal as such, they are a snack and extra hard to help keep teeth clean. This poor puppy needs at least 2 meals a day of proper food.

what the MDBA develops or thinks of things is not the law or the current code which is what the OP wants.

Personally, if you can't do the full on quarantine then you have to accept that there is no quarantine. Only you can then decide if you are willing to take the risk.

I have my dogs with PetPlan, was with Medicare. I prefer PetPlan cause it allows alernative treatment like acupuncture. Very pleased I made the swap.

Thanks. Do you have any suggestions i.e. things that you have done to mitigate risk if you have rescued dogs from the pound? no I don't take dogs direct from pounds, except once 20 years ago. I have taken dogs direct from others (greyhound kennels) though. It's a risk I chose to take.

I'd give her another pain pill now. It's nearly 8 hours so she can have one.

unless you can keep your own dogs away from the run and the crate and change your clothes and shoes everytime you won't have any quarantine.

Haven't you ever seen Dante's Peak :laugh: it's about a volcano erupting I have a Warrior, and he most certainly isn't :D

Good work! Names: Thor and Dante sprung to mind as soon as I read your post and now Zeus as well

That's hilarious and I don't even have a clue what he's trying say I think they are trying to say Snook has 12 different profiles and they have sent the info to head office. Which head office is any ones guess :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Haha thank's for the translations. It worries me that you can read moron :p worries me too

An elderly greyhound outside in winter? Thankfully the Op is not considering that. +1. Totally agree Clyde. There is nothing wrong with a greyhound, including old ones, sleeping outside. Mine do so every night that I work, in minus degree temps and are perfectly fine. Good kennel, plenty of blankets and a couple of coats and all is well.

She is plenty old enough to know how to behave and understand about consequences. She is an adult and has been for some time. I don't feel at all sorry for her.

I would still leave space for her to get off the heated bed, you don't want her to cook.

they did ask my neighbours either side of me. One said no but the other, who is a bit of a pain, and always stirring up sh!t and goes to council meetings etc gave me a glowing verbal reference and when the other neighbour said no they asked him to write it down! Mind you I already had three dogs and had had so for years, often 4, but the council letter to the neighbours read as if I wanted yet another one on top of the 3 I already had. They did not check with the neighbours behind me or across the road.

I love all the ex-racers I've met, only seen just 2 show bred dogs from afar! Again, surprisingly one I haven't looked at as much. How much to show bred greys usually go for over there, out of curiosity? I guess it would be one I'd have to import? Are they being bred here at all to your knowledge? Is there any difference between the show and racing dogs, build and temperament wise? There was a litter born around 3 years ago but nothing since and I'm not sure if the person intends to breed again. My last litter were $1200. I don't see any difference in temperament but show greys are usually longer, taller, deeper in the chest. We need more people to keep the breed going in this part of the world but that applies to the beezers too.

That's how I think they should be. Fair enough to be charged the initial application fee because they do an inspection, but then I think it should just be continuous, not paid annually as is the case here. I didn't even have an inspection unless they came one day when I wasn't home and peered over the fence. Permits were new in last year, they had them years and years ago and let it lapse so were getting them going again. Will be interesting to see what will happen when I want to change dog details, as in one died and I got another.

could always do with another greyhound person in NZ :D

I have a 3 dog permit, it cost nothing and carries over each year. Individual dogs are not noted on it.

good tip in the breeders thread from Kirislin, try getting some straw bales to build some walls around the area, very insulating

what a great idea!

heat lamp and heated room ( well half the house really )and very big electricity bill!
