This grey has been assessed as not small animal safe. I would listern to GAP before I listerned to the owner. To me the owner is playing on people's emotion's. They tried GAP and were told the dog is not suitable, they should PTS or keep him/her. They should not be trying to rehome the dog, pity the small fluffy it meets. They are not all suitable for rehoming.

sorry to hear this ruth run free Ivan

I've stayed at the one near the river twice and both times had no hassles, it was a couple of years ago now.

congratulations Tibbiemax

yes, for sure.

how are they going to police it? Check every litter that is registered, see the birthdate, then go find out what shows the bitch has been to and when, and work out if it was in the prohibited time frame? What a joke. Fern could have been shown easily by 8 weeks after having 2 pups. In fact she could have been shown up to the day she had them and most wouldn't have picked her pregnancy.

very nice

I muzzle Miller when I run him with Fern, away from home, he can nip and a nip can mean several stitches. But at home they are fine, including very fast games of chasey in the back yard.

Thanks TerraNik. Think I have it sorted in my brain

what's the domino colour in a lappie?

all groups are on the same days and Sway will be there all 3 days

no she must stay at home so there is less chance to spread it to others, if it is KC. Even so, she sounds like a sick little girl and staying home would be in her best interests.

a bit over the top

maybe plug it into a timer?

I've got two and they are on 24/7 in winter. Couple of blankets on top and the dogs and cats fight for the hot spot

wild rabbits are feral and prey, being killed by a predator is the norm for them. Dogs are predator's. Sorry for your pet bunny.

Totally untrue

Congratulations on your new puppy, I sincerely hope he is free of health issues as pet puppies are as important as show puppies, neither deserve to suffer because of colour.

who's definition is it that they are BYB'ers and what if that dog is the best available for the bitch? How old is the dog? Is there any way to breed back, are there siblings or off spring available, owned by supposedly more ethical people?

I boarded my boy for a week, but only cause I was working and was worried he would sit outside the "bitches box" howling all night (I work nights). The bitches box is actually a yard and I was very confident she was secure in there, which she was, and he couldn't get to her but was worried about the noise factor. Only trouble was the kennel didn't follow my instructions to limit Miller's exercise and I got back a very, very sore boy with very worn pads. If I had been at home or only away for short periods of time I would have just did the swap around.

gee Moselle has made more returns to this thread then Dame Nellie Melba ever made!

why do clubs even bother having a closing date if they never stick to it? Aren't entries supposed to be closed at least 3 weeks before a show? just rewarding the tardy ones.

poor cat, the cat was there first and should come first, no way I would subject mine to a high prey dog, way to stressful, for everyone.

Maybe if they enforced the laws already available there would be less need for new laws.
