  1. interesting article.2016 .. shame its been a total failure to get the government boofoons to realise what this journalist has recognised... not even dogs nsw is game to say animal rights has now control of them. to scared of offending them. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/rendezview/the-rspca-cares-more-about-political-activism-than-animal-welfare/news-story/d2a6ddc43f2e8d370efc6d15b85dff41?fbclid=IwAR3CmSeu-mTl6vMtxSh2LK-xIOI31AUaOQKteJGhz0DmtEykXv_6mfgAcLQ
  2. 99% do, so many only remember the few bad eggs, same with dogs too or we wouldn't be seeing people crying after their dog was killed at a dog park, its funny you are supposed to blame the deed not the breed when the killer is canine, but fine to despise the entire species when the perp is a sapiens?
  3. may have to leave by 2pm, not sure on that yet but before that yes be great to see you
  4. be lovely to see you and if you can teach me how to operate mine lunch or dinner is on me
  5. just received this... not feeling well and mind refusing to cooperate.. anyone like to help her and im happy to forward on to her or I can pm anyone who wants to help the email address if they want to help direct. Thought the brains trust here might be happy to help. " Hi there, My name is Irene Cipriani. I am contacting you to know some informations about animal training. I am currently doing this course about “Instinct and Learning” in Pet Care & Veterinary Assisting. PS : I need some informations / examples for my set task. SET TASK Recency - "The things that were learnt last are the things that are best remembered". Appropriateness - "Things that are appropriate to the individual’s needs are better remembered" Motivation - "If the individual wants to learn something, it/he/she will learn it better". Primacy - "The things learnt first are the things that are learnt best". 2-way communication - "Learning is improved when there is interaction between the teacher and the learner". Feedback - "Learners who get feedback from the trainer remember better”. Active learning - "Learning is better when the learner is actively involved". Multiple sense learning - "Learning is better if more senses are involved". Exercise - "Using what has been learnt repeatedly will reinforce or strengthen learning". “talk with someone” who has trained animals about the relevance of each of the above principles with respect to animal training. Proved specific examples of AT LEAST 5 of these as possible influence on animal training. "
  6. I thought that thing was only little? went to put it in the wheelie compost bin and after getting the nerve up to pick it up discovered its longer than the bin is high, measured its three foot five inches... summers fine and full of beans but sure afraid of what we will be seeing when things actually warm up....rock hard frosts last night and we are beside 7,000 acres of top quality snake breeding government land.....sigh its lovely when the echidna's come by for a visit or the kangaroos but the wigglies, they terrify me
  7. Summer. LOL lookalikes aren't they. terribly upsetting to find even if she was smiling. just about worn out her new super kong already too, just rechecked her, there were no signs all day of any problems and not a mark anywhere on her, still happy as tonight. unfortunately so stressed out been sick all day worrying, easy for my vet to say alls fine but knowing how easily it could all have been ended so badly and its still frost every morning, dreading summer
  8. Not what you want to see in the morning Dogs fine Can't say the same for the snake Or the Super Kong either by the look of it too
  9. Was only discussing this with a friend, lost her bitch and later she learned from their owners, three of her puppies had died from this as well. In her case her dog was a glorious Bull Mastiff
  10. what led you to that conclusion? multiple puppies gives multiple genetic combinations, ask any geneticist, you actually need 100 from the same parents to get the best sample of all the possible combinations and that's a huge diversity to select from, I was taught by Glen Roberts a world recognised geneticist (you can check publications, yourself, but that takes time and many hours researching, months actually to find the best relevant data for what you wish to learn.)... the minimum number of progeny of a pair needs at least 36 progeny to give a vindow to a fair sample of what they actually carry... Few horses produce even ten, twenty max...so selection is far far slower than can be achieved with dogs. but today few even bother to learn, why should they. to be "ethical" today even one litter is deemed sufficient. even just one pup and accept that and hope it is not hiding genes you would have a fit if you knew they were there. so so many extort to never make two mating's of the same parents, that's puppy farming today. Not giving yourself and the breed, the best chance to select the best possible combination from the parents. Let alone find what todays dna tests dont even have markers for yet and probobly wont for decades, there are thousands of them just waiting to say "HI". best breeding practice has been eliminated in the race to be "ethical" with no understanding of the ramifications of artificially shrinking the possible gene pool that could have been available for selection. what you can actually see, when you look at a puppy is a fraction of what is actually carried and not yet expressed.... its what you cant see is the big question..
  11. giardia can fail to be detected, even when the patient is near death almost lost my daughter. finally although all tests had been negative in desperation the doctors treated her just in case and finally began to recover.... but only after having tried everything they could think of n decided since nothing else had worked dose her just in case yes water was the cause, I did not know that the water in mittagong was contaminated and gave her a glass from the tap of a relative, not knowing that she boiled all water and stored it in the fridge. just wasted away until could see the bones through the skin
  12. Surely you cannot buy a Sentient being, or pay/buy to adopt it either? This is not animal welfare.... this is animal rights, the right to live wild and free, not exploited by man, in case the sheeple haven't twigged there is a very big difference.
  13. notice its doesn't mention early onset incontinence. its another side effects other studies have found
  14. Very true Dogsfevr, it is rather frightening to realise you know more than the new vets..... they dont even know the difference between a genetic condition and a cogenital (developmental defect) which is not an inherited cause they just lump the lot. A friend had to tell the newly graduated vet what she wanted for her pups, she recognised they had an infection,. the vet didn't even know they needed antibiotics? I could not believe one young vet, he believed all dogs should be given ivermectin on the grounds that will eliminate the sensitive ones from the gene pool... I kid you not. well remember when it was first discovered it kills an unfortunately large percentage of Murray Grey Cattle as well. When I told him this, his reply was eliminate all the susceptible and rebuild the breed from the survivors
  15. my lot turn wooden kennels, even heavy duty plastic kennels and foam beds into dental floss, turns out my granddaughter's kelpie and deerhound do too. maybe they are only going to last more than a day if they are for toy breeds? so they now content themselves with shavings and meadow hay to sleep on, poor things have to really rough it.. One bonus it sure gives them nice shiny coats. although my friends cavaliers seem to like turning their foam beds into confetti too.
  16. my vet wanted a central register where vets could list breeders they found to be breeding soundness and give a rating so that anyone thinking of buying could ask their vet. One look and you could see how many and what health issue percentages were found in their puppies. he said he couldnt get the ava to approve it. they were worried the breeders who had low ratings could sue. bonzer idea pity they didnt back it
  17. just spotted this.... so on the mark true. people dont seem to recognise hypocrisy when they see it anymore
  18. they appear to eat with no trouble, the problem as my vet explained it was the teeth alignment in toy breeds and brachy breeds is different to for example cattle dogs. tarter buildup is a given for them, so it needs to be watched for and removed. as Rob Zammit pointed out, crossbreeds are only as sound as the breeds used and many carry the same defective genes so the problems arent going to magically dissappear and not show in the puppies in fact as he showed with one he used as an example that crossbreeding does not give a puppy with none of the two breeds faults, instead it can combine them all, no amount of "hybrid vigor" is going to help when that happens, cute as she was, had slipping patellas, hernia's, undershot jaw and sorry forget the other two she had. The biggest problem is the assumption that "ethical" breeders dont breed puppies with health problems. Mother nature doesnt care how "ethical" you are, every puppy is a completly new genetic mix even full bothers and sisters are remarkably diverse... As my vet says, instead of asking why did this happen, when a puppy has a defect, we should be blown away by how many are fine when you realise how many things can go wrong. Not all problems are genetic. there is a reason some conditions are called "congenitial " aka "born with it" defect occurred as the fetus was forming. mum running a temperature in early pregnancy can seriously mess with with the cells busy forming the fast growing baby, that happens with people too. stop and think .. what parent can " life guarantee" their own child? When I first heard fellow breeders saying that if you are an "Ethical" breeder you "life guarantee your puppies. I thought, your kidding surely, that is not a sign you are ethical, it is a sign you have absolutely no idea how impossible that is. AS the old time breeders of every species said, you put the best to the best AND HOPE FOR THE BEST! that is reality.... Yet everyone expects the breeder of a puppy to achieve what you cannot do for your own child. That is reality few seem to live in reality these days. As the buyer of the puppy I bred that developed syringamyelia asked me when she began running in circles at 5 months and it was diagnosed. "How could you be so cruel, you have broken my heart, I love her so much." She had to be put down there was no way to save her. But to blame me for a condition I had no idea my dogs could produce and was only just beginning to be understood was a bridge too far in the blame game for me and many others. life IS A LOTTERY, for all of us, you and me included, not just our dogs. to criminalise anyone for trying to breed healthy puppies, when the dice fall the wrong way. Is going to achieve what Peta want. Less and less people are going to take the risk of being demonised. Yes, some dont care a jot.... Sadly they are the breeders who will be the only ones left in the long run at this rate Her breeder may be one of them, not treating the ears and not telling you rather makes me suspect she may be one of the ones that will be churning out puppies without a twinge. So it would not matter if she was in the next street. The result would be the same, delivery of a puppy already needing vet attention.
  19. She is beautiful, frankly it would not have mattered if you bought interstate or around the corner. puppies are not whitegoods, they are utterly individual..although cavaliers come with quite a few endemic to the breed problems. heart problems are endemic in many cavaliers, the first cavalier book I read, gave 8 years as the average life span, which is pathetic for a toy breed. I wondered why when I read the book, soon learned why. I used to breed them, ear problems are also endemic, as is poor chewing action so tarter buldup is a given, their teeth do not shear their food properly... I adore cavaliers, but sadly gave up breeding them because you simply could not guarantee sound puppies and I had dogs that were hernia free, 90% patella free, mitral valve free for 5 to 7 generations and they could still develop a heart murmur any time from 4 to 5 years on, the majority i had and bred were fine at 10 even to 14, but you simply could not guarantee it, as for syringomyleia, that was finally the deal breaker for me.. only had two develop it, but a friends had to have a mri due to a tooth infection that was suspected to be cancer.... although she has no symptoms, and is now 14 and still symptom free the mri says she has syringomyelia .... a friend had all her breeding stock mri'd only used the clears and only used clear when using other lines and still could get affected pups, its still a work in progress. your darling looks very cavalier style, so keep a good eye on her teeth, and their floppy ears keep them a sitting duck for yeast infections..... I always clipped the insides of their ears to keep good airflow, and plucked the hairs from the ear canal (standard practice in poodles or they get the same problems, all floppy hairy eared dogs need this seen too)
  20. no idea what she meant either, the only one who can take/rescue/seize your animals here far as I can remember with complete immunity is rspca. From what ive seen of the Animal Welfare league here in nsw is that they are excellent, everything and more than the rspca once were....
  21. zzzz Yes, just about everyone is asleep at the wheel... I twigged what was going on in 2000 after becoming a felon for a dog with nothing wrong with it, just because a dill with an rspca uniform formed an opinion (with no knowledge of the subject anyway)....... that is unappealable.... I gather this lady is an American. The warning is clear and she is right.... look at the victorian Breeder who send a pup co-owned to S.A.only last week, the new co=owners vet has told her the new law is that ALL puppies born after the new law came into effect must be desexed by six months or he will have to report her and her puppy for prosecution. They may have to send the puppy back to Vic if they want to use her for breeding...... believe it or not? Its on one of the ANKC forums Australians need to wake up, the rspca here are further advanced which means if we don't become exponentially more vocal - and fast, this will be our reality in half the time predicted in this post. https://m.facebook.com/groups/1509679472674969?view=permalink&id=2083070482002529 ‎Linda L. Minten‎ to Farmers to Felons - laws, regulations, and the advancement of animal rights Yesterday at 06:01 Most folks are skeptical when they hear my warnings.. figure I am just a loon. Over the course of several years we have posted facts based on my crazy. We have said there will be overly restrictive laws that discourage animal ownership... putting average owners at risk of felony charges (check), We said the AR groups control the legislative and judicial process (check), we have said some of the vets being utilized are AR affiliated (check), we have talked about the financial gain for rescues to instigate and participate in seizures with immunity (check)... We have said this is an environmental agenda and it is all tied in to one (check).. We have demonstrated that they divide and conquer using one group to destroy the other (check). Here is the deal.. the goal is NO animals because they are bad for the environment. It means less people too. So if you own a pet, are a farmer, ride horses, rodeo, eat meat, or even if you are a vegan on (their side)... you are each and every one of you at risk.. maybe not today, but you are at risk. Gone will be the circus, zoos, rodeos, animal sports/shows, breeders, farmers, timber, service animals, and eventually pets (after they get done using those people's donations to take everyone else out). No domestic animals, no food. We, you and I, are the enemy they seek to destroy on behalf of the planet. So while you can sit on your high horse and tell the world how great of an owner you are and that it would never effect you and the person being accused must be guilty - think again. Take a hard look at what is happening around you and realize it isn't just effecting the bad guys, it is effecting the good. Your rights to own an animal or farm your ground, and in some cases drive or use your vehicle and cut a tree... to use your property as if you owned it rather than the government... all those things are at risk. Same enemy wearing different masks and they use us to do their bidding. So if you are a good guy and live a perfect life and think you are good.. you are NOT. While easy to jump on the bandwagon to destroy someone based on information you can't personally verify please remember it can and someday may be you or someone you love. The poor guy who builds a pond for fire protection.. the old lady next door feeding feral cats... YOU because your fifteen year old dog has tarter and you decided not to risk having them put out anymore. Not your call anymore because they have infiltrated every aspect of our life with our collective help. It is going to get worse. Call me crazy but I predict within five years it will be nearly impossible to own an animal legally without risk of being charged as a felon. (in many cases we are there already). I believe breeders will be a thing of the past. We will shut down imports then and require spaying of all pets. A lot of farmers are going to bail because they just can't keep up with all the regulation and attacks. We will have some problem that creates food shortages because we have set ourselves up for food insecurity.. We will cram people into cities, the country will be left to the rich and wild. You may be allowed to have a car.. or not. They will tax and legislate us until we are no longer a free nation. We can no longer enjoy the right to liberty or freedom. Yes, I am crazy - crazy scared. I saw it years ago and finally some are starting to wake up.. but even in these groups I see them helping the AR agenda (better renamed the environmental agenda cause it has nothing more to do with animals then eliminating them) by infighting or jumping on the dang bandwagon without facts. My opinion for sure and I really really hope I am wrong. For kicks and giggles, look around your home, property, at your animals and tell me if you looked through the lens of an animal rights advocate who's goal is to eliminate animals (one generation and out, better dead then bred), accompanied by a "rescue" hoping to benefit financially with no risk to them (immunity) - would you survive it? Think long and hard cause I know a lot of people who dearly love their animals that would find themselves felons. We better get it together and start working as a team rather than against each other or this ship will sail and there will be nothing but would have should have could haves... my opinion.
  22. fit to fly is exactly that, so some one mucked that up all right as for the puppys vet who vaccinated her giving you the information, the fact that you had her vaccination certificate proved you are now her legal owner, my vet welcomes puppy buyers contacting him for any info regarding their puppy. He files everything he notices about each puppy for me or their future owner.
  23. I remember Rob Zammit showing a cute little maltese x shih tzu and it had every fault both breeds can carry, forget which lifestyle show, it sure wasn't the garden gnomes who put up so much advertising for x breds and encouraged it.... Rob pointed out that x breeding from faulty parents does not give the magic hybrid vigour so many were touting as the reason to get a x bred.... He had left the garden gnomes program unfortunately the message does not seem to have been noted or spread successfully
  24. Think Rebanne is right, you can only report her to the rspca if your puppy was not microchipped or vaccinated, it is law that they must be..... remarkable how many people still dont know that even though its been illegal to sell an unvaccinated or microchipped puppy or kitten for more than twenty years now
