like the others I have been thinking of you TT.

If I bought any dog unseen, I would expect to have discussed all the finer points with the breeder and had a written understanding covering such a situation. You do realise that sh!t happens sometimes and any pup you buy could end up not being 100%? With it not being the fault of the buyer or seller? Just one of those things that happen.

I basically agree with Alkhe but as a breeder I would also be worried about your attitude wanting a discount for a preceived fault. Sorry but I would be wondering what else you would want down the track if things didn't turn out how you think they should. Same amount of effort and money is put into "pet" puppies as show potential ones by most breeders.

I think it's good. Warrior was 9 months in this pic

:thumbsup:

yeah I am just green, have friends going over and I am so jealous! One day!

I'm happy with my dogs diet but since I had the 6 1/2 yo at the vets yesterday we did draw blood so we have a base line to compare to later on in life. Not sure if I would do it every year. And I don't vaccinate every year either, nor dose them up every month on a one dose does everything pill. Heartworm tab every 6 weeks, intestinal worming 2 or 3 times a year, flea treatment if I see a flea.

how sad

I'm 53 and take supplements, I share them with my dog who is 6 1/2. :D We both have aches and pains We take superflex tablets and magnesium.

me too and we won't be the only ones. R.I.P Buddy once again Caz

hmm, might shoot them an email

Yes, when the pain relief stops working it's what shaped my views on what I would do next time (please let there not be a next time) and why I would always go earlier. Early is better then one second too late.

if the judge can't get a good idea of gait cause the dog was playing up too much then they are right to refuse a challange. Correct movement is very important for all dogs. My 9 month old greyhound bitch was refused challenge in the depths of winter cause she ran around all bunched up, wouldn't stretch out at all properly. I agreed with the reason.

I've lost one dog to this. My experience with Sam has me made me decide that if it strikes again PTS pretty well straight away. If the dog was diagnosed while sedated for xrays I would not bring them out. If not sedated then I would most likely arrange for the vet to come to the house the next day. what ever you do will be right for you and Tess

My bitch stopped feeding the pups when they were 3 weeks old. She was relucant to be with them for a few days before that but I made her get in and feed them, she looked so miserable I soon gave it up and started feeding the pups from 3 weeks on. She still cleaned them for another week or so and was happy to play with them but the feeding stopped. Mine went onto 5 - 6 meals a day with no ill effect.

doesn't matter where they come from or what their breeding is, we all like our dogs to look their best :D

well done on your wins Sway and thanks for the results

does this mean he has access to these other animals? cause 2 dogs will create a lot more havoc if they can both chase the stock.

I agree with this, you seem to have huge doubts which to me means no.

for you all

I wouldn't be making any deal with him about house or furniture. The dogs are a separate thing. Who is moving out? If it is you, just take the dogs with you. Then when you settle for an amount of money, the monetary value of the dogs and what has been contributed to their upkeep can be taken into account. what a horrible thing to say, the dogs were bought by both parties and are loved by both parties. So was everything else they bought as a couple. Splitting up means somebody misses out, at least until settlement. If it were my dogs I would take them with me and not leave them behind like the washing machine or fridge. but they are not her dog they are their dogs

so group 4 will now be on 2nd on the Sat?

agree, but I would also add in raspberry cordial.

I work night shift so my dogs are inside with me during the day but I always worried about clamshells and dogs doing zoomies through them then hurting themselves by slipping etc. This is in a back yard not just in a dog run. In a dog run I wouldn't worry.
