Not that I have seen

I would be interested to hear why you want a second dog and what sort of dog you like.

they can live in the house but you still have to provide the kennels

sleep with the cat play tug sleep with the cat run madly and sleep lots!

Yes. 21 I can do. :laugh: much better then here!

Congratulations, what a drama for you

Forecast is looking good

My dogs love the turkey drumsticks and wings!

well as someone who does everything, heartworm, flea, intestinal worm treatments seperate, I am horrified that anyone thinks it's ok to double up on chemicals. Just goes against the grain. I'd never go to that vet again. It may not be bad for them, have never looked into it, but I would never ever do it. With all the stress on the body nowadays why add to it?

another one who does fleas on as need basis. Which is not very often.

Glad it's sorted Kahnazhu. I think Sway and I have something planned for the newbies so come and join in the fun :D

My cheque was cleared on Friday so am now waiting for numbers to arrive. Best give the secretary a ring to check. What breed are you showing?

I've entered there as well. Must check if mine has been banked. Perfectly fine to call and ask.

Beautiful babies Piper, love them both, the red boy is so cute and the little girl has a lucky thumbprint on her forehead. :D

What they hell thay are doing allowing with these superbugs to compromise the surgery is beyond me. Anyway, complaining won't help. The good should eventually outweigh the bad, at least I hope so. Puppy is home now, and not happy about it apparently. So, Ive planned a visit for the new year. yeah, bad vets allowing this to happen (need rolly eye man here) as if they did it on purpose (another rolly eye man). Super bugs are all over the place.

that's only a week, maybe a tad long in the time to get to you, but if they had been posted earlier, in accordance with the rules, you still might have actually got them before the show. Posting on the Thursday before the show is way too late.

because she doesn't want the other dog to sniff her that's why. She is uncomfortable with the other dogs approach and this is her way of saying so.

I didn't feed puppy food to my bitch either. Just increased amounts of her regular food towards the end.

I was at a show recently in SA where a person was bitten and I know the SA rep was notified and and the police were also called and spoke to people. I was told that in SA if you call for an ambulance, the police are also called. If bitten in someones backyard I think the hospital you are treated at is required to make a report, but it would be hard to prove unless there were independant witnesses.

Mature to me is adult height and weight. If you go on behaviour alone, then yes some dogs are puppy like forever. :D I say my 17 month old male greyhound won't be fully mature until 3, or more likely 4, but that is his prime physique, for the show ring. No way he is a puppy now, he is a mature dog.

8 weeks with C3 and microchipped at the same time

Dogs indeed can inherit their parents temperament, good or bad. As to which is easier to settle into a new home, that's like asking how long is a piece of string. Very much an individual thing based on both dog and people.

As an anti-vivisectionist I find the whole suggestion extremely disturbing. Not discounting the fact, that dogs are sentient beings. Whether or not a Vet is 'chopping' neatly, the intimation that education proceeds through the indirect suffering of innocent and defenceless animals is simply astounding. and you don't think a bitch whelping under the house, struggling to birth a puppy alone is not suffering? Reality is that most pet owners would not see when a C-section is needed and the bitch will suffer and quite possibly die if she gets into trouble and that's while whelping under the house or in the house. And we are not talking about an accidental mating, the people owning the ACD x are planning to mate her.

Where did Pav say she wanted the dog to have a terrible death? Dogs rarely die because of a c-section.
