Extra Info

  • Location
    Overseas
  1. Our youngest Malinois girl came into season on Aug. 6. We have kept her with our other dogs (which includes two intact males) the entire time. She is wearing her Seasonals pants which allow her to clean herself yet still keeps the house/furniture tidy. The boys are going crazy with her now - whinging and we do keep them separated when we can't give 100% attention. One is an experienced stud dog, so he's our major indicator of when they can't be together. Better safe than sorry when it comes to girls in season. If 100% attention cannot be paid, it's best to keep them apart.
  2. LOL EF I was going to say the same thing. Oiii its time you judged in OZ Aww, thanks BB! You are very kind. :D
  3. Thanks, experiencedfun. I appreciate the info.
  4. Happy New Year, DOL! In March we will be having a judge from Oz at one of our local shows. Any information you can share on Mrs. Joanne McCann would be greatly appreciated! I wish you all a WONDERFUL 2012!
  5. PennHip is not well thought of here in the USA. They (the PennHip people) won't diagnose if a dog does or does not have HD, they just tell about the laxity...um, why not just tell if the dog is dysplastic based on the radiographs?? Also, they do not have an open database whereas the OFA does. That information is useful for breeders/owners to learn all they can about the bloodlines. Anyway, not a scheme I use. I prefer OFA.
  6. I would beat them in the show ring with dogs that are NOT artificially altered to demonstrate to him/her that all that "stuff" is not necessary to win.
  7. We had a visiting bitch here for two weeks and our male covered her a total of 5 times, once every other day. She is due to have her puppies around July 1st, so once I hear from her owner I will share the litter size with everyone. One of our girls was also covered 5 times, once every other day, by the same male. She is due around the middle of July. I'll also be sure to share that litter size info once the puppies arrive.
  8. I don't know if this is the case in Oz, but Goldens here in the US seem to be riddled with cancer and die young. The 10-14 year prediction for longevity isn't common here with that breed.
  9. Since I live in the US, this isn't going to help you, but I went to Spain in '08 and brought back two puppies. So I did import from Spain, but not into Oz.
  10. Ours wear coloured ribbon/rick rack from birth and then at about 3 weeks we switch to little collars. They wear them 24/7 until they leave us at 8-9 weeks of age.
  11. We have a crib mattress in one of our rooms. It is covered with a waterproof cover and then we use baby sheets. Super-easy to wash up the sheets and I think the mattress was around $30.00 at Walmart.
  12. Thankyou Thats what i was after.. If you dont mind me asking - how much are those crates? It varies, but here is the website: http://www.eastcoastcrates.com/FoldingDogCrates.html We have one folding and one standard. Both have the grooming table top. Ours are the 400 size.
