I have two pups. I paid the deposit for one puppy via bank transfer at 3 weeks old. Then paid the remainder in cash on pick up. The other puppy was interstate so I paid in full via bank transfer. As I only had photos to go off, I rang the ANKC to confirm their registration and all was well.

To be honest I am not quite sure how to react to this situation. In my opinion this seems a little dramatic.. You could of just contacted the ANKC of your state to confirm that the breeder you got your dog from is registered to breed the puppy you were kindly gifted by your husband. He did the right thing by buying from DogzOnline because this website has a strict process of ensuring breeders are legit before being allowed to list pups for sale. Your husband was probably hoping for a reaction like the puppy surprise videos on YouTube lol If the breeder has become defensive and only wants to speak to your husband then I’m afraid that you must of been quite aggressive? Because generally breeders are kind and understanding. If you had just said the puppy was an unwanted gift, I’m sure they would of cooperated. But regardless, I hope things work out for you.

You only get papers when both parents are registered and owned by registered breeders. A dog is only proved pedigree when these papers are present, so no, it doesn’t look like there will be any papers for your puppy or any way to get them. It is weird that a registered breeder has allowed their dog to breed with a non registered one tho..

Hey all, I'd appreciate some advice/names of breeders for Welsh Corgi's please (Pembroke preferably but also interested in Cardigan). We're looking for a puppy to potentially welcome into our home sometime next year, maybe shortly after Christmas, but that could change so I'm not wanting to view puppies or be put onto any kind of official waiting list at this stage. We have discussed what breed would fit in with our life style. We're total opposites with what dog we want! He would love something small like a Chihuahua and I've always wanted to have a Siberian Husky. Neither of these breeds would work for us though regardless of how much we want them. We've been discussing it for about a year and every time we brain storm breeds, and the positive and negatives of them, we always resort to a Corgi as our most suitable. We understand it is a very desirable breed in short supply. And the price for them is quite up there too. Hence why I'm asking for more information in advance before we go looking. I understand there is a breeders index here but I'm mostly looking for breeders who are willing to discuss the breed with me who may have pups available next year. What we are looking for in a puppy: In general we just want a healthy puppy with a suitable personality and are not picky with the specifics. 1. Colour does not matter, however I prefer the standard fawn&white and my partner likes tri. 2. Gender doesn't matter. Male preferred (only because I have a male name I really like haha). 3. Tail is fine! I adore the natural tailless/short tail though. 4. We are not specifically looking for a show quality dog. Traits that are not breed standard (blue eyes, fluffy, etc) in a puppy would be fine for us. 5. We want the puppy to have parents that have had all their breed testing done (hip scores, ect). 6. We don't want a puppy that will breed (not even back with the breeder). We will desex the dog when of age. 7. We will want to meet the puppy before purchase, even if that requires us to travel interstate. A little about my partner & I: I am a qualified Veterinary Nurse working as a Dog Groomer. My partner works as a Software Developer. We are currently building our own home which we expect to move in to by September this year. We own 2 cats, reptiles and large fish. I have had dogs all my life however this will be my partners first dog.

I rushed my dog into the vet because I thought she had dry blood around her vulva too but the vet did testing and it came back that it wasn't blood, it was just irritated skin. My dog has(as someone said above about their dog) a lot of extra skin around her privates and the vet gave me Surgical Scrub to wash the area twice a day when it needs it, they then said eventually she may need surgery to get rid of the extra skin.

http://www.petprotectoraustralia.com/ I've recently won one of these in a small giveaway they were having and received it the other day, it is about the size of a 10c coin and as thick as a 5c coin. I can't really give any feedback yet since my dog is getting it for Christmas but since I have it I will get back to you about how well or even if it works. :)

I use tinypic.com since you don't need an account. TinyPic and Photobucket are both owned by the same people, only difference is account related. Since TinyPic doesn't need an account, you may lose your photos after you upload them unless you save the Image URL somewhere. Anyway! With tinypic.com, you click the 'Choose File' button, select your photo and wait for it to be uploaded. Once it's all uploaded, the page will automatically direct you to something like this(the image below). For forums/websites such as this one, all you need to do it highlight the IMG Code for Forums(same one as highlighted in the image below) and paste it into a post. With Photobucket it's pretty much the same thing although you do need an account then just press this big upload button. Once it's uploaded it'll automatically direct you to your albums, just click your image you just uploaded and copy-paste the same IMG Code as explained above. I hope this is what you meant haha sorry if not!

I have my Kelpie on a BH diet. When I first switched her onto it, her stools were very.. 'odd' and she did scratch a lot. But I continued to feed it for a few more days and the stools & scratching eventually just stopped and her coat turned soft and shiny. I think it just takes their body a few weeks to get used to it then it's really good for them.

Hello, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum section! My Kelpie pup(female) is currently 7 months old and has not been desexed yet... The reason for that is because she's my first dog and I have heard a lot of stories about dogs not recovering and passing away due to the surgery. I own cats and they are desexed and recovered perfectly, although as I said above, this is my first dog so I don't know if dogs are any different to cats when it comes to recovering. I have a few questions if you guys could answer them please :) Is it okay to desex at 1 year old(probably after their first heat cycle), even though 6 months is preferred? Is it true that every heat cycle they go through increases the chance of a problem happening(not quite sure what 'problem' though)? Is it normal for some dogs to bleed from the stitches & refuse to eat/drink for a few days after surgery? Will the bitch become less active, fat, personality change, etc? Will desexing before they're fully grown/sexually mature have any impact on their growth rate/adult size? After surgery, should they be fed less than usual for the first 2 weeks? Anything else I should know about? Thanks guys!

When I first got my pup, she was being fed Pedigree & Optimum supermarket kibble. On Pedigree she was fine but Optimum made her itch(pretty sure it was because of the amount of grain/corn), so I got Black Hawk and she's been on it ever since - she's generally healthy, happy and her coat is great. Pro Plan have a new Sensitive Skin/Stomach formula out and it doesn't look half bad although it still has a few grain ingredients. Before I got BH for my pup I put her on Canidae which made her sick(vomit & diarrhea) for up to a week and I only gave her a hand full of it.
