Chocolate

I've used it with my dogs and it does work. It's available in Spray or gel. Gel is better. Comes in Peppermint and Salmon flavour. Also there is a stronger vet strength version available called Vetzlife. http://www.naturalpaws.com.au/grooming-teeth-petzlife-oral-care-product-360.html http://www.naturalpaws.com.au/grooming-teeth-vetzlife-oral-care-product-356.html

Ukky yukky, I've never heard of this before but I always greet my pups with a bowl of food in the morning so their only focus is on eating then they go do wees and poos afterwards with full bellies. Try it.

Ophnbark they look like healthy little fluffies!! Some of my pups are getting a bit of what I suppose would be termed dermatitis around their chins and muzzles. I've had it before with litters and always seems to come about the same time when they begin eating puppy mush. They are on barf at the moment which is quite moist and easy for them to eat but so messy it goes everywhere. I do wipe their faces off with a damp cloth and they of course get regular bedding chaneges but I think that where they all snuggle together the warmth provides a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. What do other breeders do to prevent this? Any tips or advice appreciated.

MissMaddy what a little cutie, he likes to stick his tongue out Wonderful to see a baby GS I've never seen one so young. Love the pic of him on his back :D

Thanks I'll give them a try.

OMG he's a little Ripper Jackofhearts!! You are so lucky getting such a perfect littleman, he's just gorgeous and so.. cute My little ones are 3.5 weeks now and although still sleeping a lot are starting to become a bit more aware of their surrounds. I'll try and get some cute little stack pics at 4 weeks but I doubt I'll get them standing as nice as you have Jackofhearts.

One ebay UK vendor says don't ship to Australia. Another I emailed them and they said no they don't as it is always stopped by customs. So which vendor is having luck getting it through customs? Is seaweed (plant) allowed into Australia from overseas I would have thought perhaps not. What did they put on the customs decs as description those that have received it?

They look lovely oakeydoak1 what a super surprise to come back to

oh isn't Jax adorable! Mine are 2 weeks today and I'll add a photo in a min once I've resized for DOL.

Okay super MissMaddy I just got a bit worried when I read he had lost 114g. You wouldn't want him dropping more and important to act quickly before he gets weak but sounds like all is going well now Just keep a regular tab on his weight for the time being but that 22g increase is terrific and if he's looking pot bellied then wonderful!

Hi MissMaddy, Just saw your post. Yes def supplement if he's not getting enough from mum. Will check in again shortly got a visitor at the moment.

Congratulations 7 girls that evens things out a bit as so far this month has had lots of boys!! When did they arrive Sir Sniffalot?

Yeh Sir Sniffalot how is your girl doing? Got any pups yet?

Oh he is lovely MissMaddy and what a super mum she is. I try to weigh once a day around the same time of day.

Woohoo congratulations MissMaddy on your new boys What a whopper, what would be an average weight for a GS pup? Glad she's got milk and sounds like he did his first poop already so all will be fine. Can you tell yet whether short or long haired?

If the heartbeat is still good in the morning and pup is showing no signs of distress will give her the opportunity to deliver it naturally tomorrow?

Finger crossed she will have it naturally Miss Maddy. It sounds like she's doing just fine so far. Do you know from ovulation which date she is actually due to whelp naturally?

Your little boy looks gorgeous Jackofhearts

Thanks for all the great ideas everyone. There are some interesting ones that I'll work with. I'll post them for comments Welcome to the thread Poodle Mum Hopefully some good ideas appearing for you to. We may end up with some similar names Well you know how themes kind of can change a bit well I have 5 pups to name and 4 names so far as follows: Kanibaru Fudge Pecan Pie Kanibaru Fudge Caramello Kanibaru Hot Fudge Brownie or should it be Kanibaru Fudge Hot Brownie??? Kanibaru Fudge O Licious Kanibaru ??? One left ............. May be Kanibaru Fudge Toffee Apple

Thanks guys some interesting ideas here and some things I've never heard of before

Oh what brand is that, I love icecream :D

The dam is registered as Kanibaru Caramel Fudge and the sire is Kanibaru Visual Touch I'm thinking perhaps as Caramel turns to toffee this might be a good theme. Anyone got any good Toffee name ideas????

One very special little baby!! Hopefully a little Ripper for you. Sounds like you have a good plan in place with your vet. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks for the congratulations I'll add a pic shortly. Pic of nursing pups

Congratulations They look gorgeous!
