I should try and find some of the pet Peke's my parents had

could be an abcess from a stray tooth getting him from your older dog, could be the occiput. Part the hair and check out the skin and see if you can see any tiny marks. If so you need to go see the vet with your pup

I too have used homeopathy in the past. Sometimes it has worked, sometimes it hasn't but the yay's outweigh the nays. My vet is a qualified homeopathic.

you could always take her to the vets when she doesn't need to go and work on manners whilst there as long as you don't bother the other dogs.

I have a OKS trolley, from Tassie. It's pretty big but even I can manage it with my dodgy joints. Martin is so obliging, did a couple of extra things for me at no extra charge. https://sites.google.com/site/dogshowequipmentcom/ https://www.facebook.com/okslightweightshowequipment/

I am 75% at breeding Phoebe later this year

show line greyhounds are few and far between though and plenty have just as much prey drive as race bred.

It's now being said the pup choked on a treat and is dead

Her mouth could be sore. I'd persist with the kibble but maybe soak it first and sprinkle a tiny amount of parmesan cheese over it. Dog roll and chicken wings 3 or 4 times a week would most likely be ok but she must eat the chicken wing.

of course they can't shut it down, it's no different to preventing cruelty to pets. Some people will always do the wrong thing no matter what. Would you like to outlaw pet ownership as well? All that can be done is make the penalties tougher and enforce them. For everyone.

What about the op where they remove the ball totally and let the muscle hold everything in place? A friends dog had that done and lived a good life on 100 acres. She wasn't a working dog but they walked miles every day. Osteosarcoma of the jaw got her in the end.

depending where they live it is illegal to let a greyhound off lead at a dog park. Not allowed in Vic ( or wasn't last time I checked out the laws )

My current dogs both had a dew claw not correctly removed and they are tiny wee things that I occasionally dremel with the others. I agree with the breeder. You know it's there so just trim it if it ever needs it. One of my dogs is now desexed and I didn't bother getting it removed.

so I can book my holidays

Not likely to be mega eosophagus then

might need to be checked for mega esophagus. Does he throw up straight after he eats? With no warning most of the time. Or is it anytime of the day with classic I'm going to heave any minute now?

will be waiting for the update!

some breeders do charge more for a pup on mains registration but I would be hoping the breeder would be checking the young dog over to see if it is suitable for showing or breeding. If they are just going to swap it over without checking out the dog then IMO they are not much of a breeder. Ring the NSW canine council and ask about your pups papers. Yes there are delays over Christmas but I think most were back by around Jan 10th. Did you get copies of the parents health tests and your pups vaccination card and microchipping paperwork?

I can no longer see the photo either. But I did see the original. Bo idea why it's happening but you could try taping it and see what happens.

No way I'd use a commercial road transport for a pup that age. If you had to I'd wait until at least 2 weeks after its 12 week vaccination.

Both for my dogs. Yet to have a dog that didn't crunch a neck before swallowing.

I'd get her at 8 weeks. You then have her for 4 weeks before you go away. Word up your student on what you want her to do. A large % of pups would be sleeping for a minimum of 8 hrs at night by 12 weeks but you do have to allow for the one who doesn't. You need a good seperate area the puppy could go in while people are away for work. A Cav pup and a large goofy dog will require good management

and that's a very valid thought PC. I'm not yet 60 but have struggled with getting a semi downed greyhound into the car on my own. It's one of the first things I think of when buying another car, could I get a greyhound in it on my own if needed. Luckily the vets in my home town still do house calls and would come out if called. My elderly Mum used them a few times for her elderly pug.

Yes doesn't take long for the needle noses to wrap their new humans around their paws

The dog certainly went under water at the end and there was some panic by the handler who was in the water by that stage but "they" say the dog was fine. The video stopped after the dog went under so who know's what the truth is. It was very disturbing and I wouldn't recommend any one watch it. I can't get it out of my mind.
