have you tried ebay?

Whaaaaaaat?! Lol, I've never bought from a breeder myself (although my parents did), so I didn't have any idea those were the prices! What would a pure poodle cost out of interest? My toy poodle was $1300 and my standard $2000 both from registered breeders

I know OH has said no more!! The reason for my new girl is I want to start showing! Just as a hobby and something different. I started my search in January for a breed and breeders. I went to a few shows in different places and people on DOL were really helpful too. When I moved to Mackay I went to a show up here and a met a lady who shows and breeds Standards so she helped me out in getting a pup. So you could go to some shows and meet some Pom people. Your in Brisbane and the Ekka is coming up so you could look at what day they are on as I assume there would be plenty there being a Royal Show. Or maybe the lady who only keeps show prospects for herself could recommend or point you in the direction of some breeders who would help you out?

My girl comes tomorrow after lunch :D Can't wait to finally meet her!

I still check texts from dog every now and then found this today My link Their publishing a book!

What dryer do people recommend getting that will be required for drying 2 huskies and show Std Poodle?

How do hot spots develop? And how can you prevent it? We have recently moved to Mackay and have been told to be careful of hot spots developing. I have never seen a hot spot before. Having Husky's it is something we definately want to prevent happening.

Courier Mail MOSES was found in a Rockhampton churchyard on a chilly day in May. Too weak to walk, he had been dumped there and left to die. Devastatingly thin, terrified and with barely any fur left to warm him, Moses was believed to be a Siberian husky cross, but vets could not be sure. They found he had devoured pine cones to survive. Moses was a gut-wrenching sight. Moses is one of about 12,000 animals in Queensland who will this year be on the receiving end of an RSPCA emergency rescue call. In anyone's parlance, that is a shockingly high number of creatures great and small in need of urgent care. Moses stayed in hospital for a short time, then became one of the 6500 animals who will spend more than 185,000 days with an RSPCA foster carer this year. And in his particular foster carer placement, Moses hit the jackpot. Wendy Hilcher - who specialises in taking on abused or neglected dogs, or "black tags" as they are known - focused her years of experience on Moses' rehabilitation. She showed him security, care and love. For 10 weeks, she fed him, worked with him, sat with him, walked with him and talked to him. Hilcher, who has taken in more than 200 high-need, abused dogs in the past six years, says Moses quickly became her "handsome man". She gave him her all. But Moses was the first dog she had cared for who could not be loved back to health. After intensive veterinary treatment, anxiety medication and behavioural therapy, Moses continued to live in constant fear, his abuse at the hands of a person unknown leaving him unable to trust. While he showed tiny signs of response to Hilcher's love, he was frightened around everyone else. His shattered spirit was so broken that it could not be mended. Twelve days ago, with his loving foster mum by his side, Moses was put to sleep. Hilcher is devastated. In her words, she has cried "rivers of tears" for her beautiful, broken boy. She has created a video tribute to Moses' journey to help the public understand how prevalent animal abuse and neglect is in Queensland. Scroll down to watch the video. She says she wants people to understand that effects of this social blight ripple far beyond the poor, damaged animal to the many involved in trying to help them heal. The amount and level of cruelty that continues in the backyards of our neighbours' homes is alarming. The RSPCA in Queensland last year responded to 13,772 cruelty complaints. The number is growing every year and those on the ground say the kind and extent of the horrors they see are getting worse. That such neglect is so widespread in Queensland should concern us all. Even a person who is not an animal lover struggles to rationalise such shocking treatment of sentient beings. But so many still scoff, as if a domesticated animal is a thing, an object, an item that can be thrown away. And I wonder then who really are the animals in our community. When cases such as Moses' draw attention, animal lovers like me weep. But tears must transform into action. RSPCA animal behaviour trainer Fiona Blake, who works with neglected and abused animals, says dogs who receive love and care for even a short time when they are puppies have a better chance of being rehabilitated after abuse than those who are never shown love and care. Puppies learn fear by the time they are four months old. She says she has seen some dogs who are so damaged that even eye contact from a person can send them cowering. A trigger as simple as catching sight of a man in a uniform or a person with a broom in their hand can make them urinate with fear. Blake says behavioural treatment starts small, with steps like just sitting calmly nearby, or reading a story or speaking kindly to them in a normal voice. Such simple kindnesses start healing and soothing most fearful, damaged creatures. But while medical care and good nutrition can heal broken bodies, a handful of animals remain mentally harmed beyond repair. And it should never come to that. We all have a responsibility to promote animal care and blow the whistle on abuse. Too many animals are suffering because people fear speaking up and upsetting their neighbour or insulting a friend. But reports of suspected abuse or neglect to the RSPCA can be anonymous. Often all that is required to help an animal is to educate the owner and remind them of their responsibilities. Moses' journey is a reminder to those who think they have the right, because they own an animal, to abuse it and neglect it, that such behaviour is not acceptable. We must speak up and stand up for an animal that is being flogged, starved, or left alone for too long. We are their only hope for something better. As Moses experienced, there really are some things in this world worse than death. RIP Moses

We had the same problem with our poodle and it ended up being yeast. Every now and then Coco will have a flare up of yeasty ears and I bath her with Malaseb and make sure I get right in her paws and leave it on for at least 10 mins.

Well photos are definately a must! Frenchie's are so cute!!

This is Mishka when she first came to us in January This is her at the start of July There wasn't anything wrong with her apart from her coat being shaved off But we are so lucky to have her :D

How exciting! A frenchie? Photos a must!! :D

Guess you went with the Yorkie over the Silky :) Congratulations

Congrats! So exciting for you :D We're picking up our pup on the 20th so we'll be going through the puppy phase together krystal&coco We can trade photos of destruction :laugh: Not long too go now

Must be a very exciting time for you!

Not long until I get my girl :D pups will be 8 weeks on the 21st so excited!!

Coco barks at any animal she see's on the tv and will run up to the tv, the sound doesn't need to be on either. It's funny when a dog is on and it's running and disappears she starts looking for it

That could work and in summer I can just get changed before going in :D

Does the white get dirty? That's the only reason I was scared to get white.

I was wanting pant suits You could always just buy suit jackets and pair it with black pants (depending what colour your dog is). That is what I was going to do but my dog is black so apparently I shouldn't wear black...

I was wanting pant suits

Advantix has always worked for us if we have seen fleas on the dogs

Where can you get show suits from? I am just about to get my first show dog and need to start looking at all these things :)

Our husky never had the extra stuff however she was 6 months when we got her desexed
