With all these threatening emails going around from MA, I find this post from his FB the other day quite amusing, especially the last line.

That's a bit stalkerish. I'd be totally weirded out flowers or no flowers. Hi, I just noticed your dog, followed you home and purchased you flowers because you refused to take my first conversation seriously enough for my liking! There is probably a very real chance the woman knows what the problem is with the dog if its reasonably well maintained and being regularly walked. Maybe the dog doesnt have long to live and shes enjoying what time she has left with it, she just doesnt feel the need to expain it to a person who randomly pulled over. + a billion You've stated your concern, she said the vet hasn't found a problem which means she has probably seen a vet for something else. I'd leave it alone. If you see her out and about, a nice friendly hi how is your dog feeling today could be appropriate, but pulling the car over or sending her anything is a little on the creepy side.

I'll hang around and wait ... maybe I'll get a magical superpower too! Like yours to unblock yourself from his page

I haven't yet reached your level of awesomeness

Oddly enough no drama, everyone probably agrees with him: Mark Aldridge I Impost them from Bali, started doing it to help fund some children there and the Sanctuary, nothing i import is available made in Australia sad to say, but it keep us alive, only a small concern to be honest. I lost count of the contradictions in that simple two line post

Were you being naughty on his page? :laugh: Oddly enough I wasn't! He's been carrying on about bread, and how it's imported and omg how dare they import bread because it's taking jobs. So I asked what part of Australia he imports his Indonesian goods from. I hadn't checked all day as I'd been out doing uni exams, got home tonight to find myself blocked :laugh: I'll grab OH's phone her FB and see if there was drama in my absence!

LOL I think I've been blocked from MA's fb. Awesome. I must have hit a raw nerve

You can get ones that only activate if the dog is wearing a device that makes it open, like a sensor on their collar or something. Maybe that would satisfy the insurance?

What about a step in one, they go across the chest, not down? Rogz have ones like that. Duh, just saw someone already suggested it, sorry lol

If they don't pull, shouldn't they all be comfortable coz they really don't feel it? I have my boy in a rogz step in one, and It's weird but good because it doesn't go near the throat like most harnesses do.

What about one with a thicker chest piece, like the puppia style ones?

No mention of Moorook on MA's Facebook for over 24 hours. He didn't even comment on that article. Something is up.

This just makes MA look like an moron:

Brachy breeds travel all the time, how do you think they get from interstate breeders to their new homes? A lot of breeders use road transport companies too. True, but they do fly a lot as well.

Aww that's so sweet. That's where they should be, not just in more cages

I am curious as I have only desexed one dog, a female, and her coat texture changed dramatically and for the worse. Heard later that is not uncommon for her breed, the spay coat can be much harder to manage. But I know another desexed dog of the same breed with a normal coat, too small a sample to tell either way My other girl, desexed (and unrelated to my boy) has a great coat, and has ever since she was little. My they are short haired. I know people with longer hair breeds sometimes say coats on desexed dogs are often a lot coarser or just not as nice, in general, as entire dogs of the same breed.

Can it still be baby coat at 14 months or do you think his coat will always be different? His dad didn't get his 'final' coat till after 2 years of age, so if that's anything to go by it's possible he's still going. It's changing, slowly! He's got a racing stripe at the moment :laugh:

My male pug, desexed at 13 weeks and currently 14 months old, has two entire brothers, and although they live in very different environments so this is a factor as well, he is so much more chilled out than they are! The other main difference is that he is taking a lot longer to get rid of his 'baby coat'.

I'd say it was the Scotland part that bumped up the price. Did that include the consult fee etc? I had someone ask me the other day if I knew anyone in SA that did titre testing at a decent price, because all the quotes they got were way more than any other state. A DOL search showed that SA seems to be a bit behind the times and oddly expensive. But there are a few SA Dol'ers that titre test, so they can probably point you in a direction that might be better.

It must be bad if even Lola doesn't let hers get that bad

Is he crate trained? That will definitely help, so if he's not used to a crate I'd start getting him used to it as much as possible. Apart from that, try not to stress! Dogs and pups fly all the time, you will probably be more worried that he will :)

Haha, just saw a comment someone wrote on a pic on MA's facebook. It was a pic of one of the puppies in a room, presumably from the puppy farm raid in SA the other day. It was the first sentence in the comment that cracked me up, and I wonder if they realise even what they said? Tania Green HOW FKN CRUEL!!!!!!! Lola doesn't even let her shelter B in this state of disarray this is appalling u can see this poor little bugger is so scared outta of its wits N cold.

They aren't the brightest bunch!

You can send to labs in the US or WA. So I guess It's up to you to research the costs of both and see which is cheaper for you.
