Rebanne

thank you, yes I saw the parents papers or papers I believed to be for the parents it wasn't until she'd been here awhile that we started thinking, she wasn't purebred (vet confirmed this down the track) but by then she was our dog and we loved her regardless. No nothing arrived when I tried to check with the breeder in case they sort of got"lost in the mail" they didn't respond to calls / texts / emails. even drove there once but no one answered the door. Yes, but did you ring Dogs Queensland and ask if these people were current members. Did you ask to see their current membership card ?. Did you go to dog shows and speak to other breeders to ascertain that these people were regular breeders ?. ease up, how would they know they were supposed to do all that?

:laugh: mine wouldn't cope either. mine would just sleep on my bed and occasionally get up to look over the babygate directly into the loungeroom.

These people aren't just visiting for a couple of hours; they plan on staying. I'm not stupid. I know that and it still won't kill the dog to be confined. My dogs would live very happily in my bedroom for days at a time.

I don't think there is one unless you have a breed that has mandatory health tests.

that's quite an early pic, maybe before he'd had much training?

agree

you only need one C3 after 12 weeks of age. Then the dog is fully covered for the next 12 months.

totally agree

but it's your Mum's house so you possibly didn't have much choice anyway. Same as you couldn't take your in season bitch in the car because it wasn't your car.

wash and brush the dog, then suck it up and confine him to your bedroom or somewhere. It won't kill the dog to be confined and your bro and sil can then see you are happy to meet them part way. My dogs are often confined behind a baby gate or put outside when I have visitors. Even doggy people cause otherwsie they hog the furniture and the people have nowhere to sit.

I quickly threw together some bunnings compost sides last night as I was worried about taking the soft crates. The dogs loved it, next outing I will bring shade cloth and pegs to make a lid, not that they tried to get out except for Fern once and she was only half hearted. ETA: we actually had to have solid sides up for an hour or two this morning at Kilmore!

Mine get fed much later, usually 8 or 9ish in this weather and they eat it all, even dry food.

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
