If it's not an infection, grab a spray bottle of 'urine off' from your pet store or vets. Removes the traces of past urine. Doesn't hurt to spray the floor around the cage also. Good luck Sharon

Whilst she's outside and you see her urinate say, "Good Wee Wee." Then plenty of praise. Eventually she'll associate this with urinating and being good. When you have her inside, take her outside every 20-30 minutes. Give the command to leave the house and wait till she's about to urinate and once again praise when she's urinating. Keep doing this. Eventually she can told to 'wee wee' before coming inside, getting in the car, going for a walk etc. A very handy thing to teach. Her bladder from what I know will not stop developing till she's 6 months of age. Good luck Sharon :D

How's his bowel movement? Restlessness is a symptom....

Some days I say...........toooooooooooooooo many. Other days, I could handle another one or two. :laugh:

Actually it's sad. People think we as breeders continually breed and they truely don't have any idea. It's the puppy mill mentallity. They see these stories on the news of all these puppies available from puppy mills, so we all fit into that slot.

Didn't you know we can pull them out of thin air because they want a puppy NOW.

14 weeks, many pups are cutting out the third meal. Good luck....

Thx for the replies and the help. :)

My photo's are generally good. The last I took do look better or as good as the professionals at the wedding I just attended. Just want to take the next step to enhance shots. :D

Photoshop is bought, or is it available on-line to use?

How do you achieve this type of photo?

Pay backs a bitch....

So what's happened? Our dogs are crated at night, but they are fed and given bones in there, so it's good place to stay - something to keep in mind. But I have DOGS not one, they do need company. Even if you have a crate in the house where it can hear you might help. But if you do bring it in stick to your guns in the decission of where it sleeps in the house. Place it there once and that's where it stays with no visits. Sorry but if it was my husband a short sharp jab to the ribs each time the dog wimpered will change his mind quickly. It's his decission the dog sleeps outside, and I gather he agreed to get the dog, so let him share the joys of the dog being outside.

Yea, Kyojin has just suddenly decided he doesn't like his kibble anymore in the last week or two. Which sucks coz I have about 20kg of it left! So I'm trying to add some tasty things to it so that he can finish up this lot before I think about trying him on something else. Try mixing it in with the brand you know he likes. Or use a broth or an egg and coat the biscuit, might trick the poochie boy.

She maybe bored with that diet. Our dogs meals consist of the following. Not all this in one meal, just varied to keep them interested. Good quality dry food Homebrand Tuna, sardines in oil for winter, springwater in summer. Too much oil can make them itchy, especially summer. Fruits Vege's Raw meat (human consumption only) Bones Greek yoghurt Leftovers Eggs (sometimes semi boiled with shell on, or raw cracked in bowl) There's most probably more, but can't think of it now. I noticed you said you're giving you pup the crust of your toast. Please don't, wheat is not good for your dog and may crate a smelly and sometimes sores on your dog. Hope this helps. Enjoy Sharon

Nippers....roll their gum into their mouth gently and allow them to bite down. When it's a pain to them they soon stop it. No way do I mean to hurt the dog, just gently.

See we all have different views on this. I still stick with no. As we use to take our pups socialising, but when one was struck with parvo, it gave us a different view.

Start off going out with her when it toilet time. Stay with her and when she does go, lots of praise and in a higher pitch voice, saying good wee wee, good wee wee(or your chosen words). Do this over and over. Then make the distance between you and her further each time, but praise each time she goes to the loo. Eventually you'll be inside and telling her, go do wee wee from in the house. She'll even go in the rain as she's getting the praise she craves. Good luck Sharon

I'm one that would say, NO. The dogs your visiting may be vaccinated, but how about the dog over fence or the ground that may have the virus's that hasn't shown as the dogs there are vaccinated. It's a risk you're going to have to weigh up. I know it's hard, as your pup is lovely and you want to show it off, but think of the big picture. Good luck Sharon

We were asked to supply a receipt stating the 8 week old GSD would be trained as a guard dog. No they didn't get a pup....

Removed as requested.... This is the advert.

I was just googling dog washes, having a look see at what they have and it appeared in there somewhere. Should have kept a link to it, sorry. If I find it again shall put it up. Puppy farmer is what I was thinking, as there was no mention of showing or anything really positive. I really don't want this to turn into a hate, hate thread, was more interested in the chances of it being a true registered breeder and if this was a done thing.

What really court my eye was the $60,000 they wanted for it. That's no land, just the dogs and the rest of their gear.

Our Staffy would do the same thing twice a year. We knew she wasn't pregnant, she was desexed, but hey you tell her that. Go luck with it all Indigirl.

Hi All Has anyone ever sold their breeding kennels? As in, all 25 bitches, and two stud dogs, water bowls, beds, blankets, name rights etc etc etc. Come across an advert yesterday and I've never seen anything like it before. Is this the norm? Thx Sharon
