casowner Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I really, really wanted a pup from a certain breeder and after two years of waiting and no luck as the bitch didn't take I looked up the DOL Breed Pages and looked at the CASD. A couple of weeks later Jake arrived, it was pure coincidence and even though it was hard I am glad we made the decision on the CASD rather than the Maremma.

dee lee Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 IKEA have $1.99 lint rollers- I suggest you buy a dozen! Japanese spitz are a beautiful breed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Ooh, how exciting, CW . My 2cents' worth: Plan romantic weekend, meet breeder #2, fall in love again (with dog), tell Charlie he has a brother and then drive safely home. Once home, get straight onto DOL and post all the photos you took on the way home. :cool: :D Edited April 14, 2010 by Mother Moocher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Sibs Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Cas: OMG.. 2 years?! how did you not go insane? LOL deelee: I have a lot of those lint remover already with Charlie... I keep IKEA in business with that and toys alone! MM: :cool: good plan. if we go to VIC and get a sibling for Charlie, it will be a little sister... poor Charlie! The boyfriend is hoping for a Daddy's Little Girl.. because Charlie is such a Mama's Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughgirl27 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 [just cos I'm curious]What breed are you looking at CW???? Japanese Spitz! I've totally fallen for this breed! I hope you're thinking about agility for your dog.. they have the aptitude! And I hope you like light colour clothes and have a great vacuum cleaner Agility and Flyball, are definitely on the cards. Either one or both. I'm going to do a NDTF course that starts in August.. so, hopefully, I get a pup before then and use him/her as my demo dog too! (I won't be able to use Charlie) Dyson - check Befriend with the local groomer - check Woohoo... good excuses for clothes shopping!!! ;) Hey charleswentworth, I'm doing the NDTF Dog Behaviour & Training course right now! IMO it is excellent and totally worth the money!!!! I'm really enjoying it :cool: Though I'm still not sure which area of dog training I will eventually want to be involved in, it is great learning about the basics of training and the many methods used to train dogs. I do love watching puppy-preschool classes. I'm sure you will get a great deal out of it, as I already have. I'm currently in month 4. There is a lot of theory to work through but it is so interesting. Practical workshops are held at a boarding kennel where I work, so I will probably see you there! :D Sorry this is off topic!!!! :D XXToughgirlXXxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughgirl27 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Come say hi! Say G'day to me too Charleswentworth!!!! Sorry I don't live anywhere near Wangaratta :cool: But good luck though! I'm sure you will fall in love with the beautiful spitz puppies! Edited April 14, 2010 by toughgirl27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelsophie Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hey CW we got our first pups around the same time and last week we welcomed our second dog into the house........a girl ;) now let me warn you ITS TRUE they call female dogs bitches for a reason. Poor Toby was whipped in the first 24 hours. She is BOSS no question what she hasnt stolen from him he has GIVEN her!!! That said he loves her to pieces and she loves him. In one week they are inseparable. Loads of fun Its energy squared not doubled :D I agree though a breeder you click with is important. I am still in contact with Tobys breeder a few times a week and consider her a friend, and I clicked with Jazz's breeder who is an amazing wealth of knowledge and mentor! looking forward to some new happy pics of your baby with charlie bec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileys mum Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 If you are happy with breeder 2 & are ready for your new puppy now, then I would take a trip down to Vic & atleast meet the breeder & the pup. Good luck, make sure you take lots of piccies & post them on DOL when you get your puppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
