Bonding takes time, but it happens :) It takes a little while for pup to realise he's in his forever home with his forever family. He's just spent 8+ weeks (his entire life) with other dogs and people :)

:thumbsup:

Try posting in The Show Ring section, you may get some more answers in there :)

Which puppy preschool do you run Dory? Welcome to the wait Lee-Ann! A friend of mine has a Min Pin and he's a really great little dog :) I'm not a little dog person in general but I have a soft spot for these guys :) 2 more sleeps!!!

We've had a list of seriously about 40 names that we've been tossing around for weeks and weeks. We were quite settled on Fergus, but then my OH changed his mind out of the blue. Pain in the ass! :laugh: I actually said to him a long time ago that if we could have a Saint for our next dog, then he could name it. I just never knew he was this indecisive!

Haha! :D We loooove chocolate mousse in my household and every time we happen to mention it, his ears prick up!

I have a Moose too :) At first everyone thought it was the weirdest name :laugh: Now it's just normal, it's just his name :) ETA: I really like Willow too! We were considering Wilson but I'd probably end up shortening it to "Will" and that's my brother's name, so we decided against it.

3 sleeps to go and pup is still name-less!

Is there a photo anywhere?

These are all really good questions to ask the breeder of your BB :) It's nice to get opinions from other owners too, but your breeder would know what their particular lines do best on.

Wow that's fantastic RiverStar thankyou!

I would never rule out a breed due to shedding. Actually I'd be far more likely to rule out a non-shedder because of the extra work required - well that and also there's no non-shedders that I am particularly attracted to if I'm being honest.

Oh I've been there many times! :) I actually need Giant Puppy right now, not Junior but thanks anyway for the offer that's very kind of you. I'd love to be informed when you have specials on! Do you have a mailing list or anything like that?

Do you have a shop Behluka? :) ETA: I'm in Brisbane today so can't get there, but for future reference.

Nacho is so cute!!! Yay Dory at least you know how long you have left now :)

I do. Not sure I'd be comfortable asking them to sign up for me though. The breeder of my Saint (who feeds and has recommended the Royal Canin) is in NZ. Breeders I know in my own state feed other brands. Thanks for the idea anyway :)

Many of the giant breeds (as adults) are great with toddlers and young children, not so much if they are a puppy though as they often don't know their own size and strength. But Newfoundlands, Saint Bernards and Mastiffs are all wonderful companions for littlies. Of course they are not breeds that suit every lifestyle though.

I'm not a breeder so does that rule me out? Silly question? Thanks for the Petstock tip though :)

The shop I bought from was Mt Barker Pets Domain, and actually I did go past that one on Gawler St afterwards to price compare, and it was $135 there. But at least they do the tenth bag free deal, thanks.

Oops double post

I'm in the Adelaide Hills too BCNut. Where do you shop? Pretty sure the Giant varieties are dearer anyway (hooray for me) but that is certainly better than what I've paid. I don't have the 10th bag free thing either.

Hi everyone. I know a few people feed Royal Canin, so I was hoping to get a hot tip on where to buy it the cheapest! I just paid $140 for 15kg It is the Giant Puppy variety that I'm after. Thanks in advance :)

Yes welcome to the wait :laugh: it's torture!

Same for me, 6 sleeps!

Good theory Dory I like that Wish I could take my pup to work...but I'm a flight attendant :laugh: Not sure that'd go down too well! :D
