.Ummm...most people just want to buy a puppy, not a lifelong relationship with it's breeder. Mentoring for show puppies, yes maybe, but mentoring for pets? Why? to make life easier for the dog and the owner, particularly if they have never owned the breed before. You don't have to live in each other's pockets or even speak on a regular basis. It might only ever be if there is a crisis but you want your puppy buyers to be comfortable enough with you to ring you if there is a problem. And if there is never a problem you may never speak to them again.

I got my 1st choice in 2007 or 2008

your email was responded to and you were asked to phone if you wanted more info, what more do you want

wow .. you're keen ... LOL ... doesn't close till 29th April Should be more people entering early instead of after closing :D

I had no idea who you were. Yes it was our yearly get together, last year Sydney Royal, this year Tumbarumba. Though Shantiah told me she is coming down for the Melbourne Royal later in the year so we will have 2 get togethers! Shantiah's Pickle - Whirlaway All Time Classic went Junior In Group today Paige was runner up BOB and Fern was last making way for the next generation.

yes both days but only showing Sunday, was originally working Sat but now have it off so will come up.

Fern and I will be there Sat arvo for a look see and showing on the Sunday. Shantiah is bringing 2 Italian greyhouns and 3 greyhounds and will be showing both days. It will be a mini greyhound specialty on Sunday!

I have one adult girl who can be quite fussy, prefers dry to raw more often than not, her two pups, now adults, are pigs when it comes to meals and my oldest male eats better when fed inside Foster pups I have had were all good eaters and all were fed a mix of raw and dry. Don't let them being greyhounds throw you, they are still dogs

Add raw to their diet. 1 to 1 1/3 cups of dry per day sounds a bit light on to me. As for their weights, I do like my pups on the lean side, same as the adults, most of the rib cage should be covered with a hint of the back 3 showing. Vertabrae can show no matter how much you feed. Don't skimp on their food but yes they need to grow slow, so keep them lean but fed. And yes they can be great bench surfers right from an early age For more info PM GAPVic, she breeds racing greys and has just bred her 6th litter.

You can start weaning the pups now. Get rid of the tin food. Buy good human grade mince and mix with milk, make a pink slushie. Soak the dry longer so the liquid is absorbed. Don't give them straight cows milk unless well diluted. Make sure they are pooing and weeing ok.

also try putting the lead on before meals and let her walk towards her food. I take it she is used to wearing a collar? ie you are not trying to add several new things at once?

Pickle (greyhound) Junior in Group

:) ;)

he might be the only one from one of your sires, something to keep in mind. I know you won't let him suffer. Never having to have used brandy I think it is like a heart starter, bit of a shock to the system. As a non-drinker it would make me gasp. I was thinking of that thread, glad you found it.

try giving regular drops of your glucose mixture for a bit. I'm all for not letting a pup, or any animal suffer, but this is a pretty special litter, I'd be fighting for a bit longer.

the requirements are pinned above

I cover the bed with the spares doona cover is not enough to stop the drips going through to the doona. I'm not the fussiest person and a bit of blood never hurt but I didn't like the doona having all these blood spots on it. Dry cleaning didn't remove them. So I have multiple layers on the bed.

depends how much you want to help him to fight

any group 4 results please

I just put a few spare sheets and polar fleece throws on top of the bed.

I think all my boy dogs have been/are broken cause no lipstick ever shows

Thanks LizT, at this point we are unsure of the grade of heart mumur, am hoping we get more info next week, her regular vet last checked her heart about 2 months ago & told us there was no problems, so that's why we are a little annoyed & confused. We are just hoping the vet can find a solution to safely manage both her heart & ear problems, & that we have her around for a long time to come. There well not have been any problems then. Heart murmers can come and go. I had a dog show one, not long after doing an ET, then it disappeared again.
