Hey Artur, are you planning on showing anything? Cheers Amy

:D Good luck with the babies.

Just touching on this part, many average Aussies want a companion, and a "watch" dog they go to the local paper or online classified in search of one and they do not generally consider working lines or showlines, just a breed of dog.Then said person gets disappointed when the dog will let all and sundry through the backyard and say "oh but it's a (insert breed here) and are caught by surprise...I hear this all the time from just regular dog owning people..........I dare say many end up in the pounds and given away because they weren't what was expected..

RIP Rex.

True, if you can find a home with a long term arrangement and keep a small amount of dogs, no prob's at all. Usually private is the way too go.

The second one on your list is an excellent book. I would recommend it. Sorry i have not read the others. Just clicked on your link and i have already found another book i must have!

You expect to pay the same price for a breed potential imported lineage pup on main registry, or a pup from a renowned kennel esteemed for producing consistent trademark type, for the same price as their pet limited-reg counterparts? If not, it is profiteering and all about morals? Hmm thats an interesting perpective, I'm thinking of a few kennels whom I now might just ask for a discount based on that ethos ... see what puppy I end up with the cheek of me wanting their bloodlines and the years of their expertise and trained eye, to benefit my learning and my dogs but I dont want to pay for it uh-huh bcz if they were breeders with morals, they would sell me their standout pup representing their breeding effort for the same price as a pet ... ??? With Main reg you are not only buying a dog, you are buying its pedigree, and you expect that pedigree to also benefit the future breeding and standing of your own dogs, else you would not seek it. Agree. I have no problems with people selling different prices for differing registrations etc a pet on limited is limited in capability, breeding showing and so forth. A main, is more option potential for that puppy not necessarily a guarantee of better for lack of a better word but the option is there. Access to those lines to go on with etc...

Decent eye candy nek, very solid Mr. Not that you asked about his conformation anywhere in this thread..... he does have a bit of a "preggers" lol look to his manly chest. Have fun drooling.

i voted yes

Priceless where did you come by it? Strange call alright. Very condescending! We had them handed out to us in about 1996 ( 'twas a long time ago ). I have a feeling that Toohey or Jed may have revived the sticked in the last couple of years. The British Bulldog folk, took exception to his ways and mass produced them. Thanks would love to get one someday.

No IMO however details etc should be swapped

I don't have a problem with the "prize" going to a farmer, it is a valued animal.

RIP Beautiful Boy. I am sincerely saddened another amazing Rott has gone but too a place they can truly express themselves and run pain free. Thinking of you and Stan and family at this time Sue. Take care, a hole will be left in your heart, but know all greats live through their babies as Ash will and already is. :mad RIP GR CH BLICKSCHARF ASHKE CD ET

A champion dog should meet the full criteria and more importantly given that the breed is a working dog, great conformation in a dog lacking the genetics to work is no champion GSD and should never be rated as such.

Awww....Precious cheeky pups!

Another is other breeders calling up acting like a puppy purchaser to see what others are doing etc......

I've been peeking at these dogs for a couple of years on/off, nice to see them again! Good luck with the litter.

This looks interesting, I'll pop it on another site i go to.Thanks!

Yep what cramet said. Great game and very rewarding just be careful with young pup's due to growing teeth etc.....

...Don't know why but i had to read the heading twice.......thought it said Anyone buying a husband! ....

2+ years.

I use a furminator and hydrobath when required, but i still find the Rotty hair, you will go to the fridge and think how the hell did rott hair get stuck to the butter!

Yep i am one. I have kids also. So between a toy found in my bed you will likely find Rotty bitch hair and maybe even an old chomped down piece of rib that has been stashed under my doonah. Yes i have to mop and do washing VERY frequently!
