  1. I made it clear that no-one, including me, will know what pup is going where until they are assessed at 8 weeks of age. All, including the show homes, have been fine with this. As much as it is killing us all to not know which one is "the one" we are all just sucking it up. :D There are 2 pet puppies and they are spoken for, and the new owners are thrilled to know which one is theirs, but I have 5 show homes waiting to see how the other 6 pups are shaping up. And there is no guarantee for show quality, only show potential.
  2. I've got a desexed champion sleeping on my couch because he is not good enough to breed on with. He's still my baby.
  3. the type of person who just has to tell the big bad dog breeders how nasty they are to all the poor newbies who venture in here and then don't like the answers they get cause they are given to them straight.
  4. So - where is YOUR advice. What advice do YOU think we should have supplied? Not being a breeder is no excuse, this person isn't either - what sort of advice would YOU be looking for if you were considering it? The advice offered is good advice - find out about the breed, find someone to mentor you and worry about the important stuff such as health temperament and conformation instead of the unimportant stuff such as colour. Obviously this wasn't the advice the OP wanted, but how is that OUR fault? It's not about the advice itself, it's about the tone and delivery. If you want to educate people and bring them around to your way of thinking - and subsequently grow your community, well a kind word or two wouldn't go astray. Where was the, "oh good on you for coming here first and not just breeding your dog to the first female you found like so many do?" that's been done before and then people like yourself still found fault with it. The answers were great and if the OP has a problem with them then they are not ready to breed at all. Breeding is not for the faint hearted. At least it's not if you do it properly.
  5. I have had several pups over the years, some were crate trained, some weren't. And no you aren't doing anything wrong by not using a crate. Your other dogs turned out ok didn't they? I just found everything was that bit easier with a crate. Adult dogs can be crate trained. Lot's of people put the crate away once the pup is quite trustworthy in the house.
  6. can't be bothered cutting and pasting bits and pieces but it should be noted the working with children's check, while it has your mug shot and name on it, does not have your address on it. And it's the one I will be using cause I am not handing over my passport details just to belong to a dog registry.
  7. you do know your dog can die from a reaction to a vaccine too, or be put down because of it? There is a risk both ways, it's up to the individual to make their own informed choice.
  8. where's the like button? excellent post.
  9. I also ordered a couple of car boot protectors to put on the floor for the pups worked well with the polar fleece blankie on top
  10. it's called making an informed choice. An informed choice..... what to let your animals die from Distemper, Hepatitis or Parvo should they be exposed to these diseases. That in my book is not an informed choice, that is just plain fool hardy. (Excluding medical reasons) or they can die from over vaccinating or live a life full of misery from the reactions some have when over vaccinated.
  11. ordered on the weekend and arrived here Tuesday morning
  12. That is the easiest way to put them up by yourself!!! I will be watching to see which company has the compact deluxe on sale in the next few months, I have a 3 x 3 Oztrail Deluxe and I love it, but when going away without the trailer it would be easier to have a smaller / shorter version. Thank you for posting this thread it has been interesting reading the responses. yes I will be watching for sales as well, no real hurry to get one.
  13. Hi Cavalblaze, your babies are beautiful! Do they nearly take your fingers off if you are silly enough to handfeed them mince? All going to plan re enough pups having show potential, I think I have one left still looking for a home.
  14. yep it's the mad scramble all over her that seems to be too much for Fern. They aren't far from drinking off her standing up how did they get so big, so quick? It took a while for the brindle to show up on the blue but she's very pretty.
  15. That's handy to know for the future
  16. I can put up a deluxe gazebo on my own, I have heard the compacts can be a bit harder until they loosen up. I usually get the frame up enough to put the roof on, then climb under and push up from the centre.
  17. Fern's cracked it to a certain extent. She is still cleaning up after them but only feeds them when I tell her too. I think she finds them a bit overwhelming when they fall upon her like famished sharks! She is much happier when I have fed them first and they aren't so frantic.
  18. You obviously don't visit facebook much. Topics on here are regularly cross posted and discussed already. I use facebook all the time and have only seen the odd topic crossed over, and only very recently. I am obviously not political enough, or, more truthfully, am not "friends" with the "right" people
  19. please let us know how you get on, soft crates are so popular I'm sure you won't be the only one needing ideas on how to repair them.
  20. all have come home sitting on the passengers lap, longest time was 3 and 1/2 hrs.
  21. I have one at the foot of the bed, the rest are in the dog trailer for shows. Of course the greys have the choice of 2 couches or my bed for alternative sleeping places but they all take turns sleeping in the crate (open)
  22. fair enough, I am stalking your posts in the July thread for pics! :D
