Thanks Lappiemum and TerraNik. How often do you check?

Thanks for your reply How do you know if you area is a tick area? would it be best to ask the vets in the area?

Hi all, I have another question. My wife and I were watching a vet show the other day and a dog had a paralysis tick and it got us talking about the Finnish Lapphund. Is it easy to find a tick on a Finnish Lapphund with the coat they have got. Also is the paralysis tick a problem in the Newcastle region? Cheers

Thanks for that, I'll check it out now

Hi everyone, newbie here and hopefully I have put this in the right thread. My wife and I are looking to getting a dog hopefully within the next 6 months and have narrowed it down to a couple of breeds, one of which is the Shetland Sheepdog. We just have a couple of question. I love the look of their coat, from what I have read it doesn't take much to look after, but does it shed much? Do they like the water, and would go for a swim? when should one take a puppy to get trained? Is there anyone/breeder in the Sydney/Newcastle region where we could see one? How much food do they eat in week? We would prefer a female that we will desex (or already come desexed) as we are after a pet not a show dog, so how much would a female Shetland cost? Thanks for all your time and look forward to hearing your answers Cheers Mike and Jane

Hom much food do they eat in week? how much roughly is the price of a female lappie? Thanks for all your time and look forward to hearing your answers Cheers Mike and Jane
