Recognisedin Us as far as I know. Vertical learning indeed! Up or Down who knows?! :) Iam not NAATI certified translator for them they have to translate it anyway. Besideswhen you trying to do that kind of thing you really not having room for mistakes.Better move the most to professionals asyou doing it not just for yourself or just for your dog. The hard work ofgenerations of breeders involved.

Source: http://www.ankc.org.au/News.aspx?id=131All news to me as i just started the process of getting my dogs breed recognised in Australia. And getting some experience it bit by bit and dollar by dollar In Regulations http://www.ankc.org.au/Regulations-1.aspx You have to read Part 6 THE REGISTER AND REGISTRATION SECTION 10 page 21 Recognition of New Breeds You have to write a letter of application requesting that the breed be recognised for registration in Australia. With the letter of application you – as the importer and the person wanting recognition - has to provide: a. A copy of the export pedigree b. Proof that the dog is in the country – quarantine documentation c. The official breed standard – a translated copy certified that it is a correct translation from the Russian Kennel Club d. Breed information about the breed - including history, function of the breed, photographs, diagrams etc e. Written approval from the source of the breed information ie breed club, for permission to reproduce this information in preparing a breed standard extension May be sound simple enough but I am dealing with pure breed russian club. :) So far they did not bother to translate the breed standard into English, so I have to hire official NAATI certified translation company. Not gona mention the cost... :) Than I'll have to send the certified translation of the breed standard back to the russian club and ask their permission to use the document by ANKC. Remember the doc is in English so somebody will have to translate back to Russian for them and the cost involved....... Oh boy....

While I think that obviously we must have quarantine & we must pay for it to keep our country as trouble free & healthy as it is I think that the standard of accommodation & level of care for the cost is abysmal. There should be space, air con & heating for that cost & after the journey these animals have had they both need & deserve it. Conditions is not really too bad can check some youtube videos. but stl $1700 for 10 days is way overboard. Also now you not allowed to visit your pet or even hire a professional dog walking services to give a pet much needed quality exercise after that long flight . No visits from outside at all in now days. Use to be 30 days for $600 and 1/2 hour visits are allowed. Not sure which option is better :)

http://www.daff.gov.au/biosecurity/cat-dogs/quarantine-facilities-and-fees/fees-for-government-animal-quarantine-faciltities Fees as of today are 149 dollars a night! +++ Total just over 1700 dollars in 10 days not including Any additional veterinary care. Talking about profit here.. Dog in a small 2x3m pedick 149 a night/day. Some hotel corps will go jealous for sure.

Brilliant work Aleksandr. I knew Shepherds were herding dogs, but did not know that they also had a livestock guarding role as well. Oh it was a mission to teach him to do the poultry right. at the beginning he was just keep pushing our poor ducks back to the shed and chasing chooks for the same reason non stop. Our small ivory of budgies was just bucked over(ice cream he thought). :)Very relaxed now with poultry and He gets a fresh raw egg every feeding time he kind of respect that. However, only Turkey allowed to drink from his plate. :)

what a beauty!

Agree with that it is more as barker. :) But laika is also - Husky. What you seen in Kamchatka is real Mckoy of Husky. Out ther development and breeding of the breed is never stops according to local needs. They are more stronger, great stamina, can withstand very low temperatures, great hunters, etc... They probably are far more superior to Australian Huskies in qualities they need to live in Kamchatka. Local Husky in Australia is rather a show dog. While I agree that Volk is probably mixed, I asked them if he was a Husky and this is what they told me, no it is not a husky it is a Laika. So they seem to draw a distinction. My wife has a friend who races huskies in the Beringia so my info comes from what I have been told by hunters and professional racers, some of her sled dogs look like mine and others look very different. While I agree there has been a disheartening trend to breed shorter legged huskies for show in Australia, this is not always the case. My boy comes from racing stock and has nice long running legs. There are a number of breeders that bring in huskies or frozen semen from long running Iditarod champions as well. I am a born and raised in Siberia in small village where every one is just had to be a hunter. Locals you been asking most likely never heard of the name Husky. Have to say Laika is a great hunting dog specialising in Sable and Squirrels, but the same type of dogs using by local Yakuts and Chukchi to pull their luggage. Huskies that is. :) Yet to become a laika dog(any dog) just had to be a good hunter. Due to the climate conditions and demands for local dogs most of them are huskies. Also, you might want to read this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika Laika too mate! :) P.S. https://www.facebook...154059347981478 The local I was speaking to is my brother-in-law and he certainly knows what a husky is. Anyway, I don't need to read a wiki article on the Soviet space dog named Laika to qualify the info I got nor do I see the relevance to hunting dogs and pulling dogs. I also don't see how a Facebook page about a Husky named Laika has any relevance mate :D Either way, this is now veering too far off topic mate! :) wiki and fb page(Laika the Husky) just two more opinions that Lika can be any dog, as long as it burk to the right target. And yes you brother-in-law is right in regards to his dogs. Laika that is! :) But there is no such breed... It is a prestigious state of the hunting dog in Siberia! No hunter will sell that kind of dog to you for any money. Never mind. It is now way out of topic subject. :) Any photos of your dog?

Dogs looks so proud of been appreciated for the job they been doing with all their pride and ability! awsome! :) We are on the smaller scale getting our dog to see the poultry as a clients to protect and not a walking meal. how we started and how we are now

Husky mate! 100% Husky :) In which language Laika means bark? I do know they bark a lots while not busy. :)

Beautiful dogs those British bulldogs. He is 12 months old and going through his teenage time. Get him know his place, show that you are far more superior to him as well as other humans. IMHO

Agility and sport I kind of hesitating putting it together. Some representatives of any breed can show extreme intelligence not necessarily by selection of breeding. Even some no breed cross-cross-cross dogs can trash hi profile top of the class breeds in competition if they allowed to. I believe should be a competition where bread is in no use till they win. And as far as I know Australia got every dog breed representative from around the world.

Keep her to the end. She needs you more than ever right now. Looks like she is on alert watching of what you doing while you taking a picture of her for us. :) Yes you are the lucky one!

Just back from the VET. Done 2-nd vaccination for our kitten. 120 dollars it was. The bitch is still lazy.... :)

Bull breeds popular in Kalgoorlie. However rarely seen been taken for walk around. Noticed only one proud owner of GSD taking a noble evening walk. Also, 20 to 30 years olds tend to get bulls, perhaps to embrace their personal ambitions as a fighters. Such is life. :)

Breed of East-European Shepherd is not recognized in Australia simply because as far as i know none of bread representatives in Australia. I Can tell you they will be recognized. That bread is not a designer cross breads. Period. Those dogs do not look the same as GSD. My 4 months old puppy EES next to GSD You right they are bigger. Have to be to carry on their duties as a modern working dog(Army, Police, Guard dogs) 4 months old EES guard dog with mature Labrador Bottom line. Is anyone seen this kind around?

I bet nobody seen East-European Shepherd. ? Anyone!?
