So as a future (medium) dog owner, the going advice is carry a stick? Jeepers don't people take responsibility for their own dog? Last week I was sitting in Freo next to two ladies who had a pomeranian pup. Gorgeous little thing, but he absolutely launched at any other dog that walked past the cafe, barking and growling. They thought it was hilarious and picked him up every time "scolding" him in a cute, friendly voice. One to look out for at the dog beach next year for sure...

She's beautiful!

Dumb newbie question, but since when do you have to ask for council approval to have dogs at your own house?

I will do just that!

Thanks for the quick responses guys and gals. What a good forum I've come across! 6 months is not an issue, as I'm still trying to decide on the right breed and then breeder for my future pup. Before that my fiancee and I will be moving into a new home in around 3-4 months and I won't be making a final decision until we know the size of the house we're moving into. Really 6 months may be not enough time, really depends on what she and I find out. So I guess I'm just in the researching phase! (And I hope you guys don't mind that). I've never imported a pup (or even considered it), but are there any quarantine regulations from state to state? How do the pups go with the flight so soon after leaving their family? Edit: Oh and as far as meeting some Lappy pups, we would love to!

Great info and beautiful pictures guys thanks. Is there anywhere to get Lapphunds in Western Australia?
