minxy Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well, it looks like we might be getting a dog sooner than we thought - OH's parents dog! They've been having huge problems with their neighbours for quite some time, mostly to do with their poor dog. Neighbours used to throw cricket bats etc at the dog. Now they keep reporting her to the council for barking. Council have come out several times and watched her; she's never barked. But they've still ended up putting an anti-bark collar on her All the fighting is causing OH's parents a lot of stress, so we're thinking that once we rebuild our new fence we will have her come live with us. She's a golden retriever, about 7/8 years old. We'll still get a puppy when we can though. Which I think is great, as I prefer two dogs to live together.

PuppyLove01 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 HI everyone im going to the durack dog shows on the 18th of Sep to see my breeders dogs and mum and dad. Ive seen mum and dad on her website and they are gorgeous, dad has a very full coat. There will be heaps of collies there so ill be in collie heaven lol Minxy great news about getting you OH parents dog, what nice neighbours how can they do that, we have awful neighbours behind us but at the end of the day what can you do unless you move and im hoping to do that next year sometime. Some people just have to be pains in the asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minxy Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Yea I have no idea what drives people to be so cruel. It's a shame that they will most likely end up having to move as well. I'm looking forward to having her come and live with us. That's very exciting about the dog show - that will be so much fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exquisite15 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have 4 more weeks to wait till I get my lil Westie Pup "Murci" I have a question though, a slight complication has come up where I have to go away for 3-4 nights (over a wkend) to NZ (back home to the family). At this time Murci will be only 13 weeks old (so only 1 month and 1 week at home with us). Do you think its ok if we have someone stay at our place to look after him? - Hoping that my months training won't go out the window whilst we are away for 3-4 nights. Also, he still needs to be fed about 3 times a day, and the people looking after him could probably only feed him twice a day due to full time jobs. My partner said he would stay and look after him and I'll go instead to NZ. But both of us are required to go as it's my nephews (2 of them) baptism's - we are god parents. Hmmm.. not sure what to do!! I don't want to kennel him either, I just hope to keep the training going at home with someone there whilst we are away. Anyone had a similar thing happen when having a 4 month pup? Thanks for any help in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spitzbaby Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) Collie rough she should be a tri colour if everything goes ok. The mum is due to come into heat in the next few weeks. WOW!! I bet you'll be very very excited when you visit her with all the lovely collies around ;) That means you're hoping she will carry a tri colour? sorry I'm not an expert with collies, but do they usually have tri or is it depending on chance? He is so cute Spitzbaby! I bet he is well worth your patient wait. How exciting for you. Edited to ask: Are you waking him to take him out during the night? Or does he wake you when he needs to go? Thanks Naomi He is very worth it He will make some noise when he has to go, if he doesn't wake up, I wouldn't wake him up unless I know it's his meal time, I try to stick to a time for his meals so I know his "number 2" calls timing Oh wow Spitzbaby, what a gorgeous pup!! So jealous Thanks, which puppy are you looking at to get? another golden?

Thanks for any help in advance!! :D I haven't had the experience but I know I'll need to leave my boy for 10 days in January, I'm already panicking now.. If the person minding your puppy is dog savvy maybe you can tell them the routine? maybe that'll help editted: because I was blind Edited August 11, 2010 by spitzbaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minxy Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Oh wow Spitzbaby, what a gorgeous pup!! So jealous Thanks, which puppy are you looking at to get? another golden? Nah, trying to get an Akita puppy. I must admit, GR's aren't really my sort of dog. Mali is lovely though, so it will be nice to have her come and live with us.

Dju Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Have any of you had any thought about what would happen if you wanted to use your puppy for breeding one day when it's grown up? Does anyone like the sound of that for the pup they're getting? Or is everyone just after a friend and I'm the only one getting kid-excited about the future "family" of a puppy that hasn't even been born yet? I've been considering asking my prospective breeder about buying the dog without the desexing contract but considering the amount of trouble I'm already going to so that my dad will change his mind about funding my furry friend's purchase, I don't think a rise in pricetag will make him look more favouribly on the situation. He wants to get me a $50 Kelpie from the flea markets, ffs. edit: also, I have come across "OH" a lot of times on this site, what does it mean?

TsarsMum Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 LOL i somewhat am like you that was my excuse as well but to my hubby ill show my boy but as i dont live where its suitable for 2 dogs i doubt i would really use him to become a breeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dju Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I was thinking that my boy will certainly be the most handsome SV around ( biased, I know), that showing him would be a really cool experience and give me a little something to brag about. I don't really have plans for him as a breeder but dammit, SV puppies are like cute little teddy bears and I want the chance for Hugo to be a father one day :p OH = Other Half.. well that makes sense now, I couldn't for the life of me guess what that meant!

LegallyBrunette Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi everyone, sorry to interrupt your discussions but I'm now waiting for a puppy too - so excited! I'm going to pick out my sable Sheltie puppy on Sunday morning, and then have to endure a 2-week wait until I can bring him home! I am so excited and nervous at the same time - we've only ever had adult dogs and I'm hoping I haven't bitten off more than I can chew (excuse the pun) with a little puppy! - Tegan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
