We use Frozen Puppies Laidley. Just great!! Lots of good sound knowledge and high success rates.

My old chocolate girl has white under her paws and greyed at a very early age. One of the links about bolo spots said they wondered if there was a link between the white spots and greying as a adult?? I have had a few puppies with white pads in my choc puppies but not on the blacks... never had puppy families question it though.

This is my first post in this tread even though I have been checking in here regularly. I do not know Jed but lots have tears have been shed from my end for this wonderful lady. I have gotten to know her a little by going over her many posts and by seeing her through the eyes of others. Get better quickly Jed.....

RIP little man. I feel so bad for his family!!

I notice extra weeing when my girls come into season.

What terrible news "RIP little pup" I think you will find that Petplan will cover their vet bills and replace when they are ready.

What have other breeders experiances been with bitches that either don't cycle or are very late to come into season. Has anyone successfully brought a bitch into season? I have one bitch that is now 2 1/2 and has never had a season, I have housed her with other cycling bitches but she still does not come in. We did hormone testing and all is OK... The second bitch has had one litter at 2 years old and has never come into season again, that was 3 years ago......

We are on 5 acres too. We have a very traditional 3 block kennel that has a large grassed area fenced around it aprox 9x9 + two large fenced bays 6x9 which each has a shelter similar to a open horse shelter, we also then have a large paddock about half an acre that we use as a day run and then of course have the fenced house yard. All of my fencing is timber posts with dog wire and the 3 strainer wire. I have found this setup great with being able to separate puppies from older dogs etc.

It is only this puppy. It is very mild and you really have to sit and watch her to notice it. Her head looks like it is nodding side to side when she sits still, while walking playing she is right.

Thanks everyone. I will probably not know for a little whether it is progressive or not, there is not testing to confirm. I have read that it can be caused by the mother coming into contact while pregnant with the Herpies viris. I am just so hoping she gets better not worse!!

I have a Golden Retriever puppy from my last litter (now 10 weeks old) that has just been diagnosed with Cerebellar Degeneration. Her only symptom is a head nod like Perkinsons in humans. It started when she was around 6 weeks old. Has any one had a puppy with this problem or heard off it? I am unsure of the long term outcome for this puppy and would be interested in any one elses experiences??

I came in to do a search on the very same thing. Mary's van is never at our local shows and need to buy online, we live in the sticks too.

One of my girls had previously had long hard labours resulting in lost puppies. I chose to do a C-section even though she would have whelped her puppies on her own to avoid loss of puppies and the strain on her. I would do it again if I had another girl like her. Fingers crossed my current girls are great free whelpers

That is so terrible!! I hope you can get some good evidence and then the police will do something.

We use Frozen Puppies in QLD out at Laidley. They are very good either way and have very high success rates for both. If I was bringing in from interstate I would always go chilled and just do a normal AI, the semen is so much more viable and frozen puppies can split it and do 2 AI's over 2 days. I would only use frozen with a surgical if there was no other way (dead dog or overseas dog) Price wise, frozen with a surgical will cost you double what chilled will.

Congrats on all the new babies. I am really enjoying all the lovely pics.

I have not heard of this before either but I tend not to look for ear canals when doing my checks, I will from now on I am sure this little fella will adjust and compensate for the lack of hearing.

Dates spot on

Oops my "Anzac Day litter" was ment to post "Australia day litter", hehe, in my other post was born last night. 2 bitches and a dog, all chocolate. Unfortuntly the dog has a cleft palet so will have to pts but the bitches are just lovely (obese) puppies

Great pics "addicted2gold" Well done Willow!!

Fern is doing well, I am hoping she has them on time, makes for some great pedigree names with a valentines theme ;) Fingers crossed your girl has the same idea and goes a day early.

I am not on the list but have a litter of chocolate Labradors due Anzac day, little litter, expecting 3 ;) Carrie

I am new to the Forum (have watched in silence for a while) but I have Labrador babies due Valentines day ;) Carrie

I am straight in there as well, babies are too special to wait. Some girls are good and I don't need too though.
