Very interesting. I have always been scared of PS as I dont know enough about it. Would it be easy enough to teach myself or do I really need to do a course?

She is more than lovely. She is just perfect. Such a great temperament. Has been to school for show and tell. Went to a dog show the second day she was home to visit. She was definitely worth the long wait. Still not so keen on the cat and if the cat hisses she cries but they will come good in time.

Hello Everyone, I have some news to share and will try and get some pics in the coming days. Over the long weekend I went to visit a breeder in NSW to look at puppies and end up with a 14month old little girl coming home with me. She is the perfect little girl and makes her show debut on the March long weekend. Her name is Goldie and she is a red Ig. Loving everyones pics. Cant believe how big everyone is. Nova is looking stunning.

Ouch, poor Feather. Hopefully its just bruising and it will settle soon.

Sumo is looking lovely and so grown up. Well done on his first points. Have you been to any shows this year?

No clear news yet Lisa. Hoping to meet some puppies up near you over the long weekend ( Up near Leeton) if we are lucky enough to be able to welcome a new family member from up there I will let you know as I would prob need to drive up to pick up the puppy :) Hopefully Nova will be ok with smaller dogs but thats great that he was still happy to see other dogs. No advice on the barking sorry ladies. Speaking of the Livamol has anyone heard of wonderdog? I was in a horse store the other day and asked about Livamol and they suggested wonderdog

Hope everyone has had a great Christmas/NY break. Hoping 2014 will be the year I can join you all. Lisa how is Nova doing now?

Thank you everyone, just wanting to start up the weekly buying items again after Christmas and these few things are on the list :)

For those of you that have food puzzles/toys do you have any recommendations? Also looking for a good long lead as we live on a rural property so need good recall if thats possible for a sighthound :)

Yay your puppy will have arrived ( if it wasnt coming from Melb as we have flight delays here today) Happy puppy kisses

Lots of excitement in this thread. I am hoping to have news around Australia Day weekend which seems so long away but with the Christmas break it will go rather quickly. In the mean time I will just keep buying more puppy things :)

2-3 weeks - they send you an email to say they have received your sample. They then email your results. I did have to chase up one lot of testing, have had quite a few done now. Awesome, thank you :)

Thanks Diva and Sway. Love more info on genetics. Never seem to get bored for it :) Sway do they take long with the results?

I am wanting to look at the Genetic make up for black/Seal igs as is seems they are completely different genes. For instance if you look at a Seal Ig its more likily genetically a B loco and if you breed this with a red you will get a deeper black where as the K dominant gene is what they call a true black. Izat Igs has alot of great info on genetics for anyone thats interested :)

Have sent you an inbox explaining incase others arent interested in genetics

Thanks Diva, might give them a try.

I am looking for some recommendations on companies in Australia that you do genetic testing on coat colours. I am looking for someone that test for K in Italian Greyhounds. No luck with google. thanks in advance

Such a tough decision for everyone. Oooh another Rotti pup to drool over. Hopefully it wont be too long until you have another gorgeous furry in your life.

Popping my foot back in here but hope to have some news in the new year :) YAY. Lhok any idea what breed you will go with this time or the same? Will treble being staying on? (sorry if this has been answered and I missed it)

Have a blast Lisa and Nova :)

Koda is gorgeous Jack. He looks so grown up now.

Show is at CANINE AREA, MORSHEAD PARK, PLEASANT STREET SOUTH, BALLARAT and judging starts at 9am. If you see me come and say Hi. Should be the only blue Ig there. (sorry the addy is in captials I just copied it of the schedule :) ) Woohoo sounds like Rosie might have another great day out :)

Ooooh, I have a dental xray that morning, but I might have a look! Wonder if they take dubious crosses? Haha. Are you coming along? Im sure you could ask, they allow Igs :) Sadly I wont be there as I have the human kids dancing concert tomorrow night/Sat/Sat night and backing it up with a dog show in Ballarat on Sunday. Hopefully next year I will be there :)

Steph thought you and Rosie might be interested if you arent busy on Saturday Yarra Valley Whippet Social Racing Club ( on FB have a fun day on Saturday)

No puppy news here yet. Hopefully not too much further off. I do have a visiting Ig here at the moment that has come down for me to get some showing practice in with. So still getting some iggy love :) Now to go back a few pages to check out all the new puppy pics :D
