Is anyone else seeing conflicting results on FB??

Book an appointment this arvo Im a bit worried about the litte lad

Group 2 results anyne?? Thank you! x

ok so I wormed the babies again yesterday, this time with the tablet (bright pink, 1/4) and a very outgoing baby has gone downhill?? They are 6.5 weeks old now. Hes drinking, but very flat and not interested in food.. Ive just scraped some nutrigel on his tounge and he is in a container snuggled up and warm at my feet. Any ideas?? Poos normal, no vomiting and he is drinking (I just saw him) All others are fine and dandy... * I will drop to the vet if he hasnt improved by this arvo, he may need antibiotics perhaps??

Well Miss Keisha came back from Nicoles last night..looking at her I will be surprised if there is even one...we shall see...I have a feeling she has asorbed

interesting read! Thanks for sharing!

Ultrasound today!! Keisha has been up with my friend, keeping her other dog company, she is vet and is 'on call' today so she said she is taking Keisha in to ultrasound her. She said she will just play around and count and scan whenever its quiet! lol! Ahh to have acess to a machine like that and any amoutn of time! @ Parkeyre, whoo hoo!!!

omg, shes had him for 4 weeks at most...poor pup, sorry your friend, nice as she may be is an idiot, and the baby excuse is crap, didnt she know she was preggnat when he arrived? Poor breeder... Sorry OP not having a go, it just makes me very sad and cross to see this..

wow, Im part of the 'token' other breed litters! lol Kiesha has her ultraound tomorrow EDITED TO ADD 12!! OMG! I would be happy with 2 or 3, lol

ok, so I hadnt sold the last baby of this litter as yet (they are 5 weeksish) but had started to fill my waiting list for my october litter..you know when you are waiting for "that" home? Well today it came!! I was in the middle of chatting to Sway and put her on hold for the call! lol (sorry Sway!) It was a pensiner couple who recently lost thier 12 year old Cairn boy earlier this year. They are perfect, he was just ringing to ask to go on my waiting list, but I said, WAIT I have one just for you!! Its not about the money for me, so I reduced the price for them as well, I am so excited for this little pup He will be so spoiled! The three I have on my waiting list are good homes and I am happy with them to have a pup, but I just wanted a special home for this wee one <3 <3 They are coming to visit next week, I could hear the wife in the back ground very happy

Miss Keisha BB! lol (the Afgan ring in, lol!)

Sooo, my guys all passed Shunt tests! two have gone and the other two go today and tomorrow! Miss Red is Aimfor Made to Order and will heit showrings up north, and I am still undecided between my two boys, lol but he will be Aimfor Spankee Doodle Dandie..

Erm, me.. with my bitch I bred that is back on lease, will have ultrasound on sat I am over puppy poo really..Due 3rd

My friend who is a vet on the border of Vic just had thier first snake bite yesterday, so far the dog is doing ok...

MAN! I would be pissed!! I suggest crate training to all my new pup people, and Id be lost without my crates! They all get loved, playtime, couchtime, etc etc, but at the end of the day, they know crate is bed and are happy in dens!! Sorry that happened to you (break in and RSPCA etc )

Yup, I match mine as well, less chance of them having to be rehomed later

great ideas all, the reason I ask is I may be able to get ideas into the head of serious doco makers (mainstream TV)...so just putting it out there to see what area would be best to present when and if I do, and I will head them this way to good ole' DOL as well for feedback/info and support..I think its high time that somthing Benifiting the purebreed dog community would be a GOOD thing

What would it be about? What would it cover?

Sorry on iPhone .. Wow Steve great post and thoroughly explained. I humbly apologize to you and the MDBA, after reading that post I do understand where u are coming from now.. no, what im saying is breeding should be done not for a humans own selfish bank account but for the welfare of the dogs they have. the animals rely on us to look after them and it is up to us to make sure they come into this world as healthy as we can by researching, now puppy farmers with 2-3-4 breeds in the one poor puppy are unable to do this because they know nothing about the dogs they are breeding and don't want to know all they want to know about is how fast they can sell when they'll be out the door and how much money they will get. the pedigree dog if bred correctly with care is a far superior choice for consumers and people wake up to this after being stung. i've been told this too by a person in council, there is a market for these designer dogs so why not? there is a market for any puppies really, people just want a pet puppy so will end up going to a petshop or puppy farm until they learn how the dog was bred and how they are helping to keep thousands more dogs in prisons their whole life. You still dont get it. You say people shouldnt breed dogs for profit but for the welfare of the dogs - but the push is that even if purebred breeders dont primarily breed for profit they dont care about the welfare of their dogs - ETA Pedigree dogs exposed. You say that the pedigree dog if bred with care is a far superior choice but you dont hear that the majority of people are not agreeing with you - they are saying that the designer dog if bred with care is a far superior animal - but you cant see we dont get to tell people what they can breed and whether they should make money from it. In Australia it is a legitimate business and federal law says you cant prevent someone from doing something you dont agree with just because you think they are manufacturing an inferior product - if this were the case since pedigree dogs exposed purebred breeders would be even more endangered than they are now. They say they will breed puppies with their welfare as one of their goals - they have a development application which complies with the regulations and until they do compromise the welfare of their dogs all of this just makes it look like its a bunch of animal rights nutters. The big picture is to push for breeders to be separated and for each group - designer dog breeders and purebred breeders to fight against each other so each help to bring in laws against each other because they know in Australia you cant have one law for one and not the other . Its difficult for me to see that people cant understand that in this country you cant stop someone from doing the same as anyone else can in case they muck it up because one group doesnt approve of their motives. Please dont speak to me of dogs kept in rotten conditions in commercial premises because Im one of the girls who have been up to my armpits cleaning up after breeders over the past several months who have had dogs kept in the most appalling conditions you could possibly imagine. Where we have had to put on masks and overalls to enter people's bedrooms where they keep their dogs sitting in 6 inches of shit and walking on the dead bodies the breeder cant be bothered to remove. But they are registered only have 10 fertile bitches and they dont breed for money and they are purebreds ? Kidding right? Some of these have been purebred breeders still to this day active in the show ring - who take a dog out on the week end which has had the honor of living in a crate in the loungeroom separate from the current breeding stock in the bedrooms and everyone cheers them on ! Take a good long look at those in this country who have been pinged for animal welfare issues and some of them have been judges and owners of purebred dogs who say they dont breed for profit and everyone can see it. So do we say purebred breeders shouldnt breed dogs because some of them do the wrong thing? Do we watch PDE and say in case all purebred breeders muck it up we will stop everyone from breeding purebred dogs ?Maybe its better to take em on one bit at a time? Ban them breeding some breeds or outlaw some of their practices? Of course not so why cant you see we cant stop someone else in case they do the wrong thing or because we believe our puppies are superior when there is a ground swell telling the world the opposite. Why cant you see that if you fight to prevent one breeder having rights that this will inevitably affect our rights. If we are going to protest against numbers, breeds or motivations and carry on in case they do the wrong thing and we win the very first thing that happens is that the laws have to treat us all equally. Mandatory codes and domestic animal laws apply to us all. In australia they have to at federal level which overides all others. You are in bed with animal liberation and animal liberation want the breeding of all dogs stopped. Part of the plan is to divide us and have us fight each other to bring in laws which will affect us all. Beating the hell out of someone who asks to be able to do something on their property with a desire to be out in the open and easily located and inspected etc makes no sense to me when the alternative is for breeders to hide away and keep their animals in cramped filthy conditions in bedrooms and sheds in fear if they ask permission and are prepared to do it all they are told that they will cop this. I want them out in the open so we know who they are and where they are. I want all breeders regardless of what they breed or what their stated motivation is or how many they own or breed to be accountable for the welfare of their animals and thats not possible if we show everyone if they put their hand up we will make their lives hell. If you continue to judge people in case they do something wrong then there isnt much point in sooking because they do it to you. Before you all start moaning that I am supporting puppy mills, or designer dog breeding or that I am anti purebred breeders or anti show ring - all of which is stupid and nothing could be further from the truth - before you back a call to protest against this decision ask yourself whether or not that will help or hinder . I think it will hinder and make it more likely that more dogs will suffer and whilst you are more than welcome to disagree and continue on your path all I ask is that you think it through for the sake of the dogs. There is so much going on behind the scenes and I think animal rights are playing you like a fiddle.

okkkk....
