arjay Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) went to see John at khingsahl rottweilers outside of ipswich, QLD. Had a beautiful acreage house, with perfect dog areas for his boys and girls. Had 4 males and 4 females at 4 weeks. The sire is - http://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/profile.asp?dog=42402 excellent temperament,body and head. Straight away to put a deposit on 1 male, this will be our first dog for our family, going to be a challenge but worth every time and money. Another 4 weeks till my boy comes home, I'm excited.

stonecutter Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 great news DogNerd and welcome Barney! (named after the purple dude, Barney from the Simpsons or Barney Stinson?) Thanks. Named after Barney Rubble I've been calling him Barney Trouble lol. Good call! Well Ziva is home and it's certainly been interesting. She has free run of her breeder's house and yard - outside she's used to toileting on the grass, inside on newspaper. She is ok outside - but she hasn't managed to hit the newspaper inside once yet! And she escaped from the laundry last night through a baby gate (I wondered why she stopped barking/whining/crying after 45 minutes) - amazingly I didn't find anything in the house chewed but 2 poops. Like Naomi's Archie - Ziva does not like it when I shut the door on her crate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadine83 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi everyone, Well we brought Lily home on saturday with no troubles. The first night she woke us twice for toilet breaks and last night she went 6.5hrs. So that was pretty good (I am not holding my breath though!). So far it's going ok. She whines and barks a bit (mainly when we aren't right near her) but I expect this to be normal. It's a huge change for her after all. I feel like I have a newborn again, but this will pass too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecutter Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 6.5 hrs was great Nadine! Happy Ziva this morning Ziva is sleeping in our laundry - Sat night 45 min barking/crying. Last night 12 min She peed and pooped during the night on her newspaper. Luckily she's spending most of today sleeping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskedaway Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I feel like I have a newborn again, but this will pass too It will! I felt like that too when Halo came home - three weeks later and she was sleeping until 5:30, now she sleeps until the sun wakes her (weekdays until 6:30, weekends can be as late as 9 because we have the rollershutter down). So it doesn't last too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecutter Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks kitteh We survived puppy school last night - she's easily distracted by what's going on around her and doesn't pay much attention to us! Some pics taken by my dad over the weekend And doing zoomies yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitteh Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I've found Harper pays us little to no attention in puppy school. He's far more interested in the female amstaffs. Cool pics. How do you upload them so that they don't have that black border around them? Here's Harps being a hover dog: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadine83 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Stonecutter- Gorgeous photos WhiskedAway- Glad to hear it passes quickly. Although that said Lily slept from 11:30pm until 5:50am again Kitteh- Love the photo, hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have them on hosted on photobucket and then post a link to the album as an image (I've tried uploading pics via the forum and message itself but often my pics exceed the size limit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wadz Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I know exactly what you mean! Waiting is probably the hardest part of the process I have everything I think :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjay Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Ive only got the crate, there a shopping list on what to get? Still researching on different items. What collars/leads did you decide to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wadz Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 We just use show leashes because they are only really small dogs but we use a choker on our border collie. All you need is the main items. Bed, crate, toys, collar, leash and food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
