Preferably a Jean Dodds thyroid test.

OK, made some inquiries, and they are still allowed to do prosecutions, but have to have them approved to go ahead by DPP first, which is most likely why there have been only 14 commenced... all the bullsh!t ones were tossed out... T.

Not sure T but you are often more current in your knowledge than anyone else on here. I did a quick Google and we had a new Animal Care and Protection Amendment Bill come in in 2022. In the foreword it said it is to strengthen oversight of the RSPCA in QLD and actively monitor the delivery of their services. Maybe something actually happened? I can't follow RSPCA news as it brews anger inside me that isn't healthy.

I can't believe there has been three now and still nothing achieved? My friend sent me the link to the first of the 3. 141 submissions including mine and the murry grey people and so many more. no wonder so few bothered to submit to the 21 and 23, nothing is going to stop them destroying lives and minds and we will never know why are so allowed to do so. Although some states have stopped them prosecuting people has to be an improvement perhaps. They should be stopped from milking producers annually to pay for the "rspca approved" logo, its just a money maker for them, nothing else , they have tried for decades to get the ANKC members to cough up an annual fee for their "rspca approved" logo too, but Dogs NSW have refused. Over 25 years now since they became monsters, yet protected by government is indefensible behaviour by our politician's surely? https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/committees/listofcommittees/Pages/committee-details.aspx?pk=263#tab-submissions

How was COI calculated? It's possible that a 5 generation COI looks good but a 16 generation COI is a disaster. I don't know if line breeding was fashionable for Staffies in past decades. DNA testing is preferred if a pedigree that goes back many many generations can't be found.

usually blue to gold/red would be all black puppies, unless the red/gold carried a blue dilution gene, then some could be blue. Or the blue carried only one black gene then some could be red/gold only way to know what they carry is a dna profile done which is a good idea anyway, you sure dont want puppies with two copies for PRA or PLL just for starters. the profile will give you who is clear, carrier or two copies for many conditions

aww- what a good mum . Hopefully this is her last litter, and she finds a loving home .

Didn't remember there were two? https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/committees/inquiries/Pages/inquiry-details.aspx?pk=2851#tab-submissions 2021 Inquiry into the approved charitable organisations under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979 The inquiry commenced on 25 November 2021. Ok im cherry picking the submissions. as many dont say much if u go to the above link you can open the submissions box yourself and check them all. https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/lcdocs/submissions/76889/0006 Mr Grant Holman.pdf I well remember reading Mr Grant Holman;s submission. I well remember my submission and I very well remember Mr Holdsworth and Ms Ellison's murry grey cattle stud submission yet neither mine or theirs can be accessed any more and they certainly were accessible last time I looked? Even stranger, when I first opened the link all the submissions were listed, well over 40, over half labelled as "confidential" and could not be opened, Now when I opened it all the "confidential" marked ones are gone from the list completely? not even numbered????? Have to wonder why the change? Aside from the fact my submission was marked "name supressed" certainly not "confidential" neither was Mr holdsworth and Ms Ellison's. Cannot wonder how long before all dissappear? Their submission was very well written and laid out. Particularly the costs rspca ran them to in the fight to finally win their case, 10 years fighting for justice at a cost of 10 million and the loss of all their assets....... the rspca spent 14 million and lost, only have my memory of what they wrote now. Never understand why the court did not award Mr Holdsworth and Ms Ellison costs? The courts always award the rspca costs, that's how they got over 600,000 in costs and Ruth Downey's home to sell out from under her. Now the only thing u can find is go google and bring up the news reports? Last I heard the rspca vic was still fighting to avoid paying the 1.4 million damages. https://www.9news.com.au/national/farmers-sue-after-rspca-cull-herd/126675ea-f46d-4ecb-80e9-8e55b3c94a0b

I decided to go looking for the murry grey studs submission to the inquiry. since in their case the owner had an appointment to meet the inspector to discuss his cattle, but the rspca inspector did not show up. as for the rest of the story. Logged into https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/committees/inquiries/Pages/inquiry-details.aspx?pk=3025#tab-submissions 2023 Inquiry into the operation of the approved charitable organisations under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979 This inquiry was established on 13 December 2023 to inquire into and report on the operation of the approved charitable organisations under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979. found this . It just beggar's belief that the people conducting the inquiry reading this alone, still did nothing to make these monsters accountable?????? https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/lcdocs/submissions/83587/0007 Dennis Phillips.pdf

There is no right or wrong just what ends up the best fit for the dog . Any dog having seizures i would want a Thyroid test done

Just drop his dry food for 6 weeks and stick to what is working & see what happens . He may be the kind of dog that needs kids Gaviscon given for reflux

Ummm... didn't RSPCA Qld have their prosecutorial powers severely limited by the Qld State government in the last 18 months or so? After all the findings of the inquiry into their illegal activities on numerous fronts? T.

Friend posted this on faceplant. be warned, its very confronting. does show a different way to make an attacking dog let go. but doubt many of us would have this guys strength. some suggested if it has a collar twist it might work? ( If the dog is male and not desexed, I well remember a friend who grabbed the attacking dogs testicles and twisted them. he let go immediately and ran screaming for home. His owners made sure he never got out again. although he was entire because he was a show dog and used for stud. after that incident he never sired another litter so I think Rita did some serious damage to his fertility.) stunned they just let it go its own way at the end. probably attack someone else, why not secure and impound it? https://www.facebook.com/reel/9203496943006120

Ok - Di Gooding is a recommended NSW breeder - www.rynklsharpei.com And Darcy and Keith in QLD breed under this name - www.ayzsasharpei.com Another is Jacqui Walloscheck Sharboop Shar Pei. I think she might also be in QLD. Rescue who works all up and down the east coast if you are interested in - https://www.facebook.com/groups/397636914077099

I'm a pei person (thank you Pers!). I've been fostering on and off for a while with groups in QLD but I've also seen them in the show ring up here (and have owned several myself but all through rescue). There are only 2 breeders on the east coast that most pei people would recommend. I can find out their proper names for you. At least one is active in the rescue arena too. Given that, they wont have many pups available each year as they are breeding for quality over quantity. If you want to consider rescue then I can give you a link for that too. I'd personally be guided by these breeders on the right dog for you as they are particular about where their pups or older dogs go to. To be honest I'd never take siblings from the same litter with this breed though. I think you could be asking for trouble as they hit maturity. Anyway I'll get some names for you to consider.

So few children have a clue how to interact with any animal these days. one boy just couldn't keep still for a second. desperately wanted to pat the ponies but his wild movements scared them off. had to get him to lay down and hold his own hands so they could come up and sniff him. to pat one told him to just hold his hand up and dont move it and sure enough one put its head against his hand and he finally understood, still and slow movement or they are gone in a flash. as for kids and puppies gee, new neighbours kids began screaming and tried to climb their mother when a chihuahua ran up to say hi... no kidding

My sister was at a shopping centre only yesterday and was accosted by someone trying to raise funds for the RSPCA so they could prosecute more animal abusers and neglectors. He claimed they'd only been able to afford to do 14 prosecutions in QLD last year. My sister said I would be so proud of her. She told him but you have enough money to prosecute more now - have you seen your own profit line? Then she went on in detail about how they use people's emotions to raise money but don't spend it on the animals. If they are too sick or have behavioural issues you put them to sleep pretty quick. The others get farmed out to other rescues to vet and rehome. She said she went on and on and he was trying to find a hole to crawl in to. But maybe he might actually explore the values and achievements of the organisation more and make up his own mind? I think the only way they are going away is if their finances shrink and they can't afford to operate. They only represent themselves these days.

I realised maybe some one somewhere may need to have a letter like this done and sealed, to be permanently on display, along with sending them a copy to have on file. The information contained, given you this right. Was sent to me by the solicitor fighting for the lives of the two Marama's seized some time earlier that year. They were finally saved and returned but not before much heart ache, trauma and expense to the owner. Same as my experience. Anyway this is my version filed for ever more to at least protect you from them sneaking onto your property and taking what they like when you are not at home as was what happened to Stringy. I think his Marama's were stolen when he was not home too? but it was many years ago now so not positive. Any way, use what is highlighted in black below (like this) in your letter of notice. It worked, and still does. . About 10 or more years ago someone reported my 30 year old horse, didn't enter without my permission. (you feel so hugely less violated, they Don't care a crap if you have a breakdown from the stress they inflict. Seen it in so many over the decades) All these decades later still works. Discovered that when they came to do the POCTA inspection. Actually asked permission to come? Mind she couldn't resist advising me. "I am an rspca inspector, I have more powers than the police, which is why so many of us are shot at." Couldn't believe my ear's. Had me wondering, does she want to be shot at? so she can boast, been one of the attacked? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 17/5/01 For the attention of The Chief Inspector and CEO RSPCA 201 Rookwood Road Yagoona 2199 Dear Sir, Up to the 21 November 1999 I had a good opinion of this organisation. This was put in doubt that day by the behaviour of your Inspector Donnelly. The subsequent two weeks then the events of the 2.12.99 destroyed all respect for your assertions of caring “on behalf of all creatures’ great and small. As a result this letter is to advise that henceforth all entry onto this property by RSPCA or its agents is 17/5/01 Denied without my express permission in writing. THIS APPLIES TO ALL RSPCA OFFICERS AND ALL AGENTS, INCLUDING SPECIAL CONSTABLES AND MEMBERS OF THE NEW SOUTH WALES POLICE. I also intend to use the provisions of Freedom of Information to obtain copies of all RSPCA records pertaining to the related incidents which related to my personal affairs. If you do not respond I will then apply to the Information Commissioner. I make this request based on the case of ;- Taylor – v – Chief Inspector, RSPCA 91999- nsw adt 23 (19 April 1999) NEW SOUTH WALES ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS TRIBUNAL 0 CITATION: Taylor – v – Chief Inspector, RSPCA It is unfortunate I did not learn of my rights under Judicial Revue earlier. Hopefully I am learning fast and will continue to learn. Since I have now learnt the new order cares for nothing but successful prosecution even to the exclusion of the well being, even to risk the life of perfectly healthy but differently coated representative of the “creatures great and small” in a futile attempt to secure a conviction solely based on “the Inspector formed the view that the subject dog may have required veterinary treatment in relation to its presenting condition. As a result the dog was seized in accordance with section” etc. Excuse me, but while I waited for the return of my dog I was given the Autumn Edition to read. Why was my dog and I not accorded the same treatment and opportunity as Ms Chalmers???????? Or, was she before the new order came in force? Yours sincerely

wow- this old brain is trying to get around the info without coffee! How wonderful, though.

what was so utterly glaring that NSW lied, "BY LAW they could not operate". Yet also aired in the same episode, was the Victorian seizure of the foundered pony, they too could not locate the owner yet the surgery was done immediately.. As usual they pick and choose what they want to do and cite "the law" as the reason when choose not to . "It has food and water, our hands are tied" no mention they tied their hands themselves because in this instance they dont want too "form the opinion/view, and seize" most likely no money to be made that time. Yet this episode, NSW are prepared to kill it instead.

Can I recommend not getting two puppies at once? especially in a breed that can be difficult with other dogs. They may get along great as puppies and then become nightmares once they are fully mature. I do not have experience with Shar pei so I won't comment specifically on them but I do have experience with Akitas and if they are anything like them you won't know their full personality until they mature around three years old. --Lhok

By KC do you mean Kennel Club England? On your dog's pedigree are the colours of the dogs mentioned? It is possible, depending on the colours of the grandparents that you could get some washed -out unhealthy looking and non-standard colours from the combination of Ay and d genes. Is there a recommendation that blue should only be bred to black, as there is in the Great Dane? Colour should usually be the last thing you consider when breeding but because you mention blue, are you familiar with colour dilution alopecia? The most important thing before breeding would be to know as much as you can about not just the proposed parents but also their relatives. I put it this way: the dog you know and love is just one hand of cards in a big deck. The relatives will show you what other cards might be in the deck but when you breed you will be shuffling those cards and hoping to get only the good ones.

Colour i cant help as im not sure how simple it is in Staffies without knowing colours in pedigree & DNA colour testing . As to the COI it again is as simple as lower is better & hopefully no breeder goes by that theory alone . I do know in the UK many have that mindset yet within my breed dogs in a pedigree of hips scores up near the 30 OMGno BAER testing but brag about the COI being low has truly screwed over the concept on know your pedigree
