Hi - thank you all for your advice - our Garden shed is new (and empty) and he was the only one in it - we had his kennel, water food etc in there with him. Poor puppy - he is barking because he is frightened being on his own in a shed. Is there a reason he can't be inside with you? He can be inside with us... he just isn't properly housetrained yet and I dont really want to be cleaning up wee/poo all the time. The times we do have him inside with us (before we all go to bed) I always take him out regularly to go to the toilet but he occasionally has an accident. I'm worried that he wont ever learn to go outside to the toilet.

Hi - we have a 15 week old Min Schn - he has been sleeping outside in his kennel since we got him at 8 weeks. In the last week he has started barking at night - (before that he was very quiet). I thought it may have been the full moon, but he started 'going off' before it even came up last night. I do walk him in the evening to give him some exercise but this doesn't seem to work. We have had to put him inside our garden shed. Does anyone have any suggestions/thoughts on what the best way is to get him out of barking at night?

Hi - thank you all for your responses to my queries. I feel more confident now about asking for Eye certificates from the parents of my puppy. :D

Hi - I'm not sure... they are members of the Mini Schnauzer Club NSW though. Should I ask them?

Thank you for your help. When I asked about eye clear certificate they said said "Both parents don't have any health problems and in both lines there is no issues either". They asked if that would be enough. (The breeder is getting the puppies vet-checked though). It is going to be our family pet and I am not sure whether I should ask for one to be done.

Thank you for your help. The owner has said 'Both parents don't have any health problems and in both lines there is no issues either'.

Hi - I have just agreed to purchase a mini schnauzer (first puppy) They are going to be 'vet checked'. Is this different to saying 'Clear Eye Certificate available...' thanks for you help...
