x2 no, I reckon neocort would be ok but I ain't trying penetrene so there

hadn't thought of that until you posted, I was worrying what the 3rd blood/injury thing was going to be, glad it's just a little thing compared to the last 2 lots

lets hope your puppy has a long and safe life. The pound is full, or not full because they are dead, of dogs who "but they have never wandered before".

who said they were the original poster in the thread in the breeders forum, made an informed choice, for what was best for their pup, end of story Agreed. That particular instance was the probably the right call. The discussion then turned into some breeders offering blanket no's to anyone with small yards/ apartments. Hence the debate, or you wouldn't be here Any one wanting a greyhound puppy from me who who did not have an adequately sized and fenced yard would be a no from me, no matter what other boxes they ticked.

yes I love spying on my youngest, he has a great time all on his own, I really need to video tape him

Just curious I sliced my finger open on a tin, deeper than a paper cut but not very serious. I've dressed it etc, there is a fair bit of blood on the dressing but it's stopped now. Which led me to wondering if I could have put the quickstop powder on?

you ain't seen a greyhound in action then lol. actually I have. That is why i said in an earlier post that Greyhounds would be a breed that is a definite exception to my argument. Remember? And you replied it's only the adolescent grey's that need this. yes but adult greys make excellent apartment dwellers, I would have no issuses letting an adult go to an apartment dweller who ticked all the boxes, one of which would be to provide a safe area for off lead (legal, no dog parks) exercise a couple of times a week. Otherwise they may find a racetrack in their apartment.

Good point. So if a breeder says no to selling someone a puppy based on unsuitable fencing, is that discrimination? is seems to some people any time a breeder says no it's discrimination

you ain't seen a greyhound in action then

leaving a dog unsupervised in an unfenced back yard is pretty negligent

Crazy. Based on yard size? Breeders know no more about me and my ability to raise a dog than what my butcher does. Good breeders will find out about you and your suitability to have one of their dogs, good breeders do know more about their dogs and their breed then most puppy buyers. Good breeders do have a duty of care to the lives they were responsible for bringing into this world.

When I'm around other breeders at shows, trials and tracking, why is it the breeders who have these strange policies/ prejudices on who they sell their pups to, also tend to be the most vocal and outspoken against BYB's and pup farms? Do they not understand its their prejudices about yard size or house size that are directly adding to the demand for BYB's and pup farms? The irony is delicious. And justify it any way you want, with whatever logic you see fit. It is nothing more than blind prejudice. Strange policies/prejudices umm well that might have something to do with the fact they know their breed, they love their dogs and they very much want the best for them. So they choose the best possible owners for their puppies in their opinion. Why on earth would you let a person have one of your pups if you didn't think they would do the very best for the pup? Why would you not turn down a person if you thought them unsuitable to give your pup the best home possible? You should let a person have a pup, even if you think they won't do right by it, just to stop them going elsewhere?

I have never seen the council mow a naturestrip outside a home. There was a guy in the street next to me, years ago, who kept his home and yard immaculate (sp?) but because of an arguement with the council, he never touched the nature strip. He got warning notices etc to clean it up. I'm not sure who gave in, in the end, but eventually the nature strip was mowed. It went on for months and months.

No kidding If you think that all the breeder does is check out how much space a potenial new home has to offer to one of their pups then you are sadly mistaken. Sure some might, but most do a bit more than that.

The kind of abode someone inhabits reflects little about the level of commitment to meet the dogs needs for exercise, lova and care. A backyard does bugger all to guarantee anything. I live in an apartment and researched a breed suitable for living. many different breeds came up as possibilities but a lot of it had to do with me and my temperament as much as the dog's. I went with a papillon, but would have got it even if in a house. Stories of greyhounds, danes, staffies and german shepherds living in apartments came up in my research: examples of dogs that were happy in apartment living because the owners worked it out to maintain the dog's health. Adult greyhounds in the main. I would never deny my greys, especially the youngsters, the chance to free exercise, they do so, most days, twice a day. And it is against the law in Victoria to let them off lead in public places which include dog parks.

I breed greyhounds, a breed most suitable for apartment living as adults. I would never sell a greyhound pup to someone living in an apartment or only with a courtyard. The self exercise, zoomies, mine have done in the backyard and still do, can't be matched, as they are not allowed off lead at places like dog parks. My dogs, my right to sell to those I think would be the best homes and if someone I that I think is not suitable then goes on to a pet shop or similar - so be it. I will have done what I think is best for my pups

why do so many of the overseas rescue shows rescue forgotten dogs from apartments

I hope this is a typo. No way a small kid could look like a dog's toy

maybe It is the breeders right to say who gets one of their precious pups, no one else's.

thanks for that, I didn't get a dremel but I did need some more sanding bands and they had them cheap

what a grand old age

if you set up over night, leave it on the lowest setting and use your guy ropes
