As far as I know - yes. What does the eye certificate cover, would it pick up ectropian or is it only a check for degenerative eye diseases? it picks up everything possible and would most certainly cover ectropion and entropion. http://www.petwave.com/Dogs/Dog-Health-Center/Ear-and-Eye-Disorders/Ectropion.aspx http://www.petwave.com/dogs/dog-health-center/ear-and-eye-disorders/entropion.aspx

I have a roof racks with a basket on my Mazada and it holds 2 very large soft crates, my chair and a floor mat ( have yet to unpack from yesterday :laugh: ). If you are young/strong enough you could chuck a wire crate or two up there.

As far as I know - yes.

video of the bulldog gaiting around the ring The dog also has a Clear eye certificate issued in Dec 2011.

What were these people thinking, putting a dog up with these problems. I am sure they would be breeding from it as well. No wonder people see registered breeders as unethical. Imagine the pain this dog was in. I have to wonder about the judges along the way also... you are assuming the dog in question did actually suffer from said condition eta fix spelling.

totally confused, it's been a long day!

actually I would have to reconsider advertising my pups after 8 weeks of age because of http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/234935-new-vic-microchip-advertising-rules/ or break the law myself and put in false numbers.

Hope it is a great day for all

well I actually hope a toddler would be taken to a Dr first but a vet is a good 2nd choice :laugh: My vet once told me about the pressure point for tooth ache when I happened to mention my daughter was waiting to see the dentist. It worked a treat but it's not something I share around :D

Where is my question rude and intimidating? I said please and thank you, what more do you want?

I gave my bitch 5mls of calcium after the first 3 pups were born, then every 45 - 60 minutes until she had her c-section a few hrs later. I used a reptile heat lamp for my winter litter, plugged it into a themostat and kept the room at around 25 degrees, 24 hrs a day for the first 2 weeks, then phased it out.

Being a complete stranger and a new member in no way means someone has no dog knowledge. There ARE other places to learn about dogs other than dogzonline forum. Some people have been posting on here for years. Its obvious they haven't learned much, and they are complete strangers to me! please point out where I said the OP had no dog knowledge. What they have done is set themselves up as a dog trainer 'ask me for help' all I have done is try to find out, for the benefit of others I might add, just what makes them suitable to do so. I've seen plenty of newbies come in and offer advice which is downright dangerous and other newbies think it's great. Usually an older poster or two points out what is wrong with the advice given, they get jumped on by all the newbies and told off for daring to question so and so's advice and so it goes, until sheer weight in numbers disproving dangerous advice gets through to the new comers. I am not saying the OP has posted dangerous advice BTW.

your welcome and I haven't ruined anything. You can ask all the advice you want from a complete stranger who has been a member two minutes.

yes expected due date is 61 days after the surgical AI. My repo vets were happy to wait an extra 48 hrs but day 63 was it, absolutely no later. Fern had her c-section about 30 hrs after the due date/time. agree better a live pup then a dead one.

when I used frozen semen my vet gave me a date that the bitch must have had the pups by or else we had to do a c-section. Fern only had 2 and never went into labour. From talking to others some repo vets are quite strong in wanting C-sections if bitch does not deliver by due date. They do not want the pups to go over 63 days.

points 3 and 4 came later. And yes I read your last long post. I wonder how people on your previous forum would have felt if someone noone knew came on offering to help sort out their doggy problems? No one would query them? Plenty of people on here have been burnt in the past from so called experts, my question was and still is valid. eta and BTW you did write a response to someone else after my question had been asked so that answers point 2 as well. have a nice day :)

Where have I been less then polite? You have been a member less then 3 weeks and come offering advice on a dog breed that is under threat from BSL. You were on DOL after I asked my question. Helping hand/suggestions are still training advice and I think it is only fair to the other new members that you state your experience in these matters. People don't know you from Adam, as the saying goes.

IMO Yes when you are offering your services you should post what/why/where the things that make you qualified to offer help.

sometimes, still haven't got a reply to two emails sent to them ages ago. I did find out what I wanted elsewhere but curiousity led me to resending the unanswered email and neither have been replied to.

still waiting for a reply please :D

Hi deghj, can you please post your qualifications regarding dog training, obedience and behavioural matters? Many thanks

I saw a very happy baby puppy trotting around the ring at the Canberra Royal carrying their lead in their mouth. Didn't do any harm to his/her chances as they won their class. :D

snail mail entries have closed but yes OzEntries are still open for a few more days. :D It's looking to be a great entry

Thank you, Miss Shine ( Swayd She Drives Me Crazy ) Was very tired by the end of the day.
