I have used parvac on my adults dogs a couple of times. And would use it agin if I feel the need. I don't vaccinate the pups until 8 weeks old when the vet does them, checks them out and issues a vacc certificate.

I reckon it's great if you make a profit on a litter.If you haven't cut any corners in any way, good luck to you. In most cases it will be put back into the dogs and even if it isn't, it's no one business but yours.

I love the big girl!

what do you mean? Is it cancelled? What show are you talking about?

no breeders of beagles prepared to say anything?

I will be in with 2 at albury, would consider wagga

Has he been put under and the vet had a proper look?

Hi Lab Rat I'm not sure where WA is in regards to the muzzle laws. Best to check with GAP. If you get a grey from GAP it will be house trained already. You just need to be mindful, as you would of any new dog, that you might not read the signals right etc but really they are so easy (99%). The age can be any age. In Vic they will take them from 8 months old so some don't even get to the track and some retire to the couch after stud duties. A friend of mine has a bitch that had had 3 litters. They are exceptional dogs

A kennel out under the pergola would be fine, a bed inside would be even better. The thing that jumps out at me is the height of the front fence and do you really think they would be outside with the greyhound every single time it was out in the front yard? Are they going to take it out the front every time for toileting or is the back yard also going to be used? What about walks? Greyhounds can and do live very happily in apartments so can live without a yard but it requires a big commitment from the owners. If the front yard is only going to be used once or twice a day for a romp, I would expect the owners would cope, my greys don't get a gallop every day. You would have to be very, very sure the owners are up to it. And if the fence is only 3 foot high then I would have serious doubts about letting a dog loose to do zoomies, it would be so easy for the dog to jump the fence and be off.

I asked at my local produce store and they won't carry it anymore. Between the 2 guys working there they had 6 dogs and not a single one would eat it. When I said I had heard nothing but good about it they said so had they but they didn't know of a single dog that would touch it.

so very sorry to hear this news, take care

That would be greyt, yes very few greyhounds here in Aus would have had any eye tests. I have been told they are not needed but for the price why not? Can you also help me out with who does this certificate?

thank you will now do a search on the ACES scheme

hmm will have to ask for more clarification from the Americans what they test for exactly.

so if I needed to prove my dogs eyes were healthy what could I do here in Aus?

I did a search but didn't find anything useful, maybe I wasn't putting in the right words or something anyway can people please tell me a bit more about eye tests, namely CERF? I think it a yearly test that certifies your dog is free of certain eye disease? Is that right? Who can do the test, where and approx cost would be handy too please.

but surely you would still take care to keep them apart? After all there is no real way to tell when the implant wears off is there? While they say 6 months, with some dogs it might be 5 months.

Yep, it's what I use. Stick in a bit of cheese or meat and it's inhaled!

This is a good idea, it seems they may be close to knowing what they want but need more samples to test on first. At least that's how I read it.

yes, thankfully none of mine have it ( from the symptoms described ) and it's doubtful if Fern or Miller are carriers as they are fairly certain it comes from a European dog for the 70's and that is not in their background but still, it would be nice to know. I have asked on the list about sending blood from here. Australia gets forgotten a bit!

There appears to be a disease manifesting in greyhounds (show bred ones) that scientists may have discovered a marker for. They are based in Switzerland and are asking for blood to be sent to them for testing. They are quite specific in how they want it, plastic tube, not cooled, to be with them within 3 days of being drawn! The call went out on a greyhound list I am on and seems to be mainly aimed at the USA people. I am interested in participating, still looking for more info, but is it possible to get blood from here to there in 3 days? and if so how?

That would be because he was called before the KCC to explain a few things but resigned before they kicked him out. It was printed in the gazette at the time.

Same Neville Williams I got my girl from then. He used both prefixes at that time.

I *think* he did, when I got my GSD his name was in the local phone book with various dog activities attached to it, including protection dogs. I haven't had anything to do with him since around 1996 ish.
