are you reaching out to your pups breeder? They are there to help you with all of this. What is your pup being fed and when? All my pups got a raw chicken wing when put to put to bed and then I also would set the alarm for toileting twice overnight and then cut it back to once and then very quickly they were sleeping from 10 ish to 6 ish. Quicker then human babies! Mine are also crated next to my bed as youngsters.

My Dyson cordless upright was a piece of junk. Even with a new battery. Certainly didn't last 2 1/2 years.

Supercoat is fine, my dogs do well on that. Add in some cheap raw chicken and pup will be fine.

I'm another who would do as you are going to do Deeds.

Tell them up front, offer to take puppy back when she has her season (if they feel they can't cope), and if you wish, offer to go halves in any corrective surgery. Not all the costs though as they have taken her with full disclosure. This would be as a good will gesture only not because you have done anything wrong. Sh!t happens at anytime. Ask you vet what they think the surgery would cost so you have an idea. Make sure any agreement is in writing. Just a simple letter saying X has purchased female puppy with possible inverted vulva, recommend to allow puppy to have one season and if it doesn't self correct, then you will contribute x amount of dollars ( or 25/50 % ) to corrective surgery. Or same letter without the contributing part but saying you would refund part purchase price upon the bitch needing surgery, and include at same time of desexing. Just because your buyer is a lawyer does not mean they are any better or worse then others.

you do realise that by getting a crossbred it may be nothing like your current dog?

and please keep your dog at home until this is resolved no matter how much he begs

I use Budget Pet Products, never had a problem in several years

I've never heard of it. Maybe ask on a Boxer group on facebook or shoot an email to a state's boxer club. Google has clubs in NSW and Vic.

I would wait until 2 weeks after her 12 week vaccination but discuss this with your vet first.

so very sorry no more pain Patty

could have been a mild seizure. I'd suggest a vet visit and if it happens again before you get to the vet try and video it.

Take the pup to the vet get them to scan for the microchip number and write it down. You will need to register the pup with a microchip company that covers Australia. As the pup has come from NSW it most likely is only on that states database. Other states have a lot of trouble getting into that database so it's best pup be put on another. Your vet will help you get him registered. I believe DogsNSW process litter registrations very quickly once they have them. I would be contacting them to see if the registrations have been submitted.

you have no vaccination card?

I guessed you were talking about GSD's. I was talking purely good conformation, the way the whole package comes together, how every joint works in partnership etc. No good having good hips and elbows if the toes are crap or going blind from PRA. Plenty of working bred dogs can't work. Ask any farmer how many they have shot over the years.

good conformation is a must because without it a dog will break down much more quickly/seriously. Not much good have a very keen/good working dog that can't see out a days work.

I am guessing white with a patch?

one thing I would say is, as first time dog owners, you would want one of the more laid back pups. All those hip and elbow scores are fine except for the elbow with 2. I personally would not be happy with that. However you can have perfect scores and still end up with a pup with a problem. I would want proof that the dam put to the EIC dog is clear of that disease. DOG forgiveme for saying this but registration papers are less important then full copies of all health testing and what sort of support the breeders will give you. You could also look up the lab club for your state and see what other health test they recommend be done. There are also two other places you could check here. https://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/170329-labrador-retriever/?page=13&tab=comments#comment-6954506 https://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/108730-those-crazy-labradors/?page=1493&tab=comments#comment-6924661

Steve has not been on here for ages. I answered your other post. Try contacting your breeder.

Haven't seen Steve on here for a very long time. Suggest you contact your breeder or see if there is a live stock guarding group on Facebook or similar

I let people come to the house. But I know some who don't. Personally, if the pups were close enough to view easily, then I would want to see them.

so sorry LMO. Bunter was a very handsome dude.

I use ValuHeart which is Ivermectin based. Not to be used on non DNA tested working dogs. I usually use Advantage for the spot on and the all wormer is usually Milbemax but I'm not too worried about brand as long as it is an all wormer.

I use as little as possible and never a combo. I give a monthly heart worm tablet that only does heartworm and I give it every 6 weeks. I use an intestinal wormer roughly 3 times a year. Spot on flea treatment a couple of times over summer for just in case. No ticks where I live.

hi and welcome to the forum. Sorry to say though I can't help answer your questions. Is the ear really bigger or is the ear set different which makes it look bigger? I would guess it's just one of those things that happen in breeding any type of animal, including people. Mother nature does like to throw curve balls at us.
