That's what I read too. One has erect ears - Nowich Terriers and one has folded ears, the Norfolk Terrier. They both look like nice dogs. They used to be one breed until they decided to split them into 2 breeds due to the ear carriage. There are a few other subtle differences.

So?

Well said. I'm sure sometimes folks wth smooth Salukis feel the same, as they may feel overlooked for pretty fringes. But I think the difference being that dogs of a different variety, like Smooth and Lnghaired Dachshunds, are not interbred (except for the specific rules around Chihuahuas and Belgian Shepherds) whereas the Cresteds, Salukis etc can have both coat types in the same family, even the same litter. I think Xolos are another breed where the coated ones are not judged separately. I might have misunderstood you, but Collies Rough and Smooth are interbred but shown as separate classes. I guess that depends on the country, in UK they are bred as separate breeds. Aren't the griffons split by coat type and colour? I thought there were 3 varieties under FCI? I find this an interesting discussion, my breed under FCI are split by colour, some countries allow colour crossing and some want at least 3 generations of pure colour. While it is easier to get support for the 'minority' colours by having them split, it can also cause problems in finding useable bloodlines - perhaps something that would be a problem if the cresties and PPs were split?? I did hear that there is a lethal gene when 2 cresties are bred together and they need one PP parent to have a healthy litter? I think judges education needs to provide positive views on the 'minority' of any breed, to remind them they aren't a fault and should be looked at just as much as the more popular, not just dismissed because they are different. I stewarded for the CC/PPs at our Premier show, there was a good entry of about 20 or so dogs and they were split about 50% of each type and both types were taking class wins.

I have found neem oil shampoo stoped my boy being itchy, one shampoo greatly reduced it and the 2nd shampoo and he isn't scratching anymore. Neem can be used to treat all sorts of things.

We just used human artificial tears a couple fo times a day for my old mini, that was several years ago now, so things may have improved for treatments. Vet suggested the human tears.

ticks are another thing you can find on hedgehogs.

That very nearly happened to a DOLers dog.

vets will sell it - just ask for whatever they treat diarrhoea with.

IF she does have another one, it might be worth taking a video of it to show the vet

have you got any prokolin or kaogel to settle the tum?

you probably won't come across the other type of breeder as any older dogs they need to rehome will be done by them and with the full back up support and option to take the dog back if it doesn't work out. their dogs will be socialised and used to a normal life. Of course, there are the occasional dogs who do better as a single pet, whether that be just their nature or because they've had a bad experience.

I stood like that when i had a slipped disc, so it is worth getting her xrayed asap to see what is going on with her. Dogs can be very stoic about showing any pain.

let the breeder pick but also don't be afraid of telling them what things are important to you - eg particular temperament or if you favour a particular colour or feature of the breed. At the end of the day, you have to live with the dog, it is only a show dog some of the time

woohoo!

if the accidents are over night, confine her to a safe area or crate

In the UK we have our registration papers (which is what PP has lost in the post) it gives details of parents names, health testing, reg number, endorsements, details of breeder and owner. It has no other pedigree information. The export pedigree is a 3 gen pedigree which will also list colours of each dog and the name/address of owner and breeder. The only extra details on the reg doc is probably just the health test results of the parents

Our "mutt" was desexed at 12-18 months, when we adopted him. I guess it concerns me as he will sometimes try to hump our (desexed) female. That humping isn't anything to do with sex, so nothing to do with how he may react around an in season bitch. Really wouldn't worry about it, but to ease your mind, just ask the neighbours to keep the bitch in the other side of the yard when in season.

Someone mentioned it can be a numbers game - ie with a breed that tends to 10 pups, you have more of a chance of getting some pups, but breeds that have 2 or 3 pups average, then there is less chance. Not sure if that makes sense, but with my breeds, it is a lot more successful with the giants then with the minis.

Dog is from the UK, she means the UK Kennel Club

Sorry, I think he looked better before.

and whenever you bath her, use conditioner on her feathering and ears (treseme conditioner works really well on hair that tends to knot up) and blow dry the coat and brush as you go.

Tralee maybe you would like to search here for overseas (FCI) affixes http://fci.be/affixes.aspx

I've made a little video of the pups at 4 weeks old

Apart from the ears, they are just like Norfolk Terriers :D
