For me teaching my dog to hold something in his mouth on cue was really hard for me. He loved to retrieve but would drop balls, sticks etc halfway back to me. So i had to go back and start at the beginning. I gave him a rolled up pair of socks ( which he has always fancied) and then had a huge party when he had it in his mouth and i said good hold gave him a jackpot. Then i started holding dummy and click treated when he had it in his mouth. He is now heaps better.

PM Ptolomy, she had to have 1 of her dogs on a low protein diet for a liver issue

I think its about a month or so after they are mated they can be scanned/xrayed

Aww Emery that must be so tough - hope it is still an enjoyable evening for you

Yup if I was gay and people did not want to sell me a puppy just because of it I would be very hurt too

Aww Emery huge hugs. The Brooke is awesome you will love it. I am cooking hubby a birthday dinner tomorrow night for 6 people and my energy level is now zero lol

Ruby grunts, Mason does darth vader breathing lol

Sure do ;)

Im also getting pup in a weeks time

I might have to head east, too I may be keen to

Seeing the pups on sunday - very excited!!!

Is it only for american dogs??

Havent looked at all the ingredients but what about Canidae??

Bedazzled your pup has grown so much!! He has such long legs.

Im getting flu not a happy Jan

I get asked, " is he a labrador", I say yes they say ' but he is so skinny" - he is not skinny he is just not fat!!

Yup I would ask them to put their dog in kennels if the 2 dont get along

You free on Sunday? Nope going to see my puppy

Now i would say for a flatcoat you must be able to deal with heaps and heaps of energy and they are working dogs. Im friends with a breeder here and know her 3 dogs who have way more energy then any lab i know.

Yup i took a goldie in as his family coukdnt keep him ( ok he had issues and was a bit aggressive and dominant) but he was very different to my lab

Here is my lab, he is from show lines but his father has a retrieving title. Bubitty i think labs and goldens have quite different traits

Great pics - I have been sooo lazy with my camera lately.

I agree 100%. Quite simply my dog cannot eat any foods made here in oz, waiting for a bag of Canidae grain free Salmon to arrive and hoping he tolerates it. I feed mainly raw but he does not thrive on it whereas with a bit of kibble he looks heaps better.

Let me know when you go do it RS and if we are free we will also join you. It is warming up though so better do it soon.

Seeing the pups on sunday :thumbsup: very excited
