Why not adopt a Malinois? small breeds make excellent guard dogs, everything wakes them up.

Been awhile since I Posted a litter due, hopefully we will have a litter of Lowchen due early April (ETA 7/4/2015)

What's XP3020? It's interesting to read that people's dogs have reactions to BH, but I suppose you get some who will have reactions. Royal Canin is an oilily dry food, but dry flakey skin be caused by numerous things.

I would advise against an Irish and Soft coat they are both a full on breed and wouldn't be suited for an elderly person. All the breeds mentioned are grooming required and should be done every 6-8wks. Just remember being Terrier's ie vermin controlling breeds Westies and Mini Schnauzers have strong big teeth and can leave a nasty bite when not trained right (but that's like any. Breed). I would probably go with a westie lol

Not puppies but I had a vet tell me my afghan was underweight and this was my chunky fatty just because they could see her hipbones. Take in my underweight issue one and get told she's fat?!?

I can really only vouch for the Standards. Having owned and lived with 2, they can be the most loyal and faithful dogs, they can if bought up correctly to live with any other dog, children, and other pets. BUT... Choose your breeder carefully and make sure you take home the right pup (but this can be for both breeds). Grooming, you have more variety and choices with a poodle and the best thing about them, they are minimal shedder (I never use - they dont shed, as they do). Collies drop coat and can become very clumped and expensive if needed to be groomed out. Both breeds have their up and down in Temperament and this is something to discuss with the breeder. Ultimately the choice is yours, but I would lean more to a Standard ;)

Im ok to selling to someone who is an apartment liver, as long as the dog is looked after and allowed to live there :)

There is a Class just for Poodles, all 3 sizes. People either have their own dogs or borrow/hire dogs from Clients or other people. Any breed can be entered in a Grooming competition, even a Smooth Fox Terrier (which has won an American grooming comp) Any breed can be used in creative. Creative is just not dying, but also incorporates carving - using clippers to carve designs.

Most of these dogs are groomed weekly, their hair maybe parted and coloured, but are dried and washed within an hour. Its no different to colouring human hair which Im sure most here have done or will do, when those elusive greys appear. Most of these dogs enjoy the whole process, I work with a dog that is groomed in Creative. Im not a fan of creative, dying etc, but am in awe of some of the creativeness some people can create with dye, ink, and scissors. Most people who slam creative groom, cannot do anything creative and cannot see outside of the box in grooming.

Adults camping fees $7.50/night children I think $4.50/night Claim a patch and have fun. They weren't rejects, I just didn't need them :D

I start my babies from around 3-4wks, but normally say 6-8wks depending on the coat

Keep an Eye on their Blood Sugar Lvls, can be tested with minimal blood.

Our Paper work Arrived yesterday :D So we have: Steal My Sunshine - Zayde All That N Sunshine - Squeak Blazing Sunshine - Fattie Twisted Sunshine - Bubbles We were going with a fire theme but everything I put up wasnt accepting, so we had to go with Smisch's theme o.O They are all walking around, squeaking, barking and grumbling, and had their first mini meal yesterday.

Going with a Fire and Ice theme; boys Fire, Girls Ice... Ideas

Make sure you have a sharp pair of scissors, cause at 145am you don't wan to be searching while the pup is half way out lol

Smisch posted up our results 2 little girls both Sable parti's and 2 boys 1 black and silver parti and a solid dark not sure if actually colour as to young to tell lol. Congrats to those who have whelped so far and those awaiting litters, good luck!!!!

Our girl went off her food in a major manner.. current diet is bikkies mixed in with tin food sadly it's all she will eat but as long as theres food going in i guess its okay.. shes packed on the kilos though. making up for the weeks that she cant eat due to a belly full

Works well for any breed, I use it both on my Lowchen and Lakeland. Brings out the natural colours in the coat strand. Is supposed to be good on all skin typed even senstitive!! Best thing is after using the Shampoo, conditioner and hydrating spray... Your hands are soooo smooth :laugh:

Just got back from the vets and we have confirmed that our bitch is Pregnant!!! So due date 7th Dec - Breed Jelly Bean Bag!!! estimated: 4-6 puppies Estimated time of Death of OWNER!!! ASAP!!!

Well... waiting... Apparently I'll be showing another Schnauzer (mini) and another Lowchen!!! Well Find out more details when their owners know whats happening lol Other than that Showing the Vetrans... Leo and Amber :laugh:

Should star up a Earth Dogging club. You only need a few earth terrier types to start and then go from there. Just need to build the dens ;)

Yep cautious means delicate areas, easy to cut. A basic test of pressure is to turn the clippers on and run the blade along your arm, from there feel how much more or less feels comfortable. If you feel like your going to snag or get stuck on a knot don't rip or push harder, this could lead to cutting. If stuck go slowly and make sure no skin is getting in the way.

TO get a good Finish you need a good start, give her a good scrub in the tub, (slicker, rubber curry etc) sud her up!!!, rinse and make sure all suds are out. Clean everything and anything that is mucky is to be cleaned off!!! Blow dry... when finished drying make sure you have no Knotts or tangles (run a small toothed comb through the coat) What size Blade, Skip teeth blades can be dangerous and can easily cut the skin more then a Fine (F) blade. Comb attachments are for longer lengths. For a smooth effect #7F or a #5F - but beware they can heat up and burn (so normally x2 blades and switch when hot) Cautionary spots, under the front legs and hygiene areas. Oh and never call a Lowchen a SWF!!! They come in Colours ;)

Ummmm... We might have a litter due, but not say what until we know she is actually preg or not, due early Dec

Ahhh so he did lol Just noticed that too lol, oh well youngest bitch and only lakeland in Australia (according to the Earthdog committe) to have their EIC and as far as they know only lakeland to have an Earthdogging title :D STILL LEARNING that art of Handstripping!!! :rofl:
