What would you think the breeder quoted actually means.
tdierikx replied to asal's topic in General Dog Discussion
Yes, I would expect the ANKC papers, and copies of all tests listed on the advertisement for the dog in question... and a copy of the health "warranty" that states the full terms of any refund or replacement if the dog is found to be not as advertised. T. -
I recently had a phone call from my horse vet. he and I have never seen eye to eye over my total distrust of Simparica, Bravecto and Nexguard after a friend lost two out of 4 affected dogs. his pup had been treated with nexguard and he was posative she didnt have a single flea on her but she was going mad scratching herself. Told him I believe it is one of the listed reactions. gave his a copy of the paperwork I had. He rang the compay himself and being a vet they put his straight through to the company vet and she confirmed yes that is a reaction in some dogs and to disconcinute using it. That some dogs do react so badly they suffer with severe fitting and if do not recover need to be put down. Next I know he is ringing me back..... he hit the roof and was demanding of me? why hasn't this stuff been banned. Hullo, I had been telling this this stuff kills a percentage of dogs from the first months Bravecto hit the market? One vet who was selling it from day one, to his horror had to put down 20 dogs in 6 months. never stocked it again. Majority of vets dont seen to think only 20 out of 1,000 is excessive or reason to stop using it. all depends if its your dog gets the short straw perhaps?

"All puppies go with a written warranty. We offer a lifetime of support & stand behind what we breed. We will not sell anyone a puppy that we do not feel is suitable for them. " "BAER hearing tested Full Bilateral hearing, DNA clear for pra, pll" etc "will always take their dogs back, and/or make suitable arrangements for them, and offers lifetime support and information regarding care, training, behaviour, exercise. feeding, etc." "show or breeding Potential Puppy, - Comes with Main ANKC registration, is guaranteed to be true to the ANKC bred standard, and comes with a written health warranty and more as required" Would you expect to receive not only the Main Registration, copy of dna and copy of the BAER hearing test? Would you expect either a refund on return or exchange for a full bilateral hearing tested replacement? If you learn has a defect that was not disclosed because BAER hearing certificate NEVER came with the dog and subsequently paid for by the purchaser, test confirmed the dog was deaf in one ear? Then buyer learn is the second one recently tested by same place because same breeder sent litter mate without the BAER certificate for that dog either. Do wonder how many others have never received one either I notice all puppies advertised in past year or more, as BAER hearing tested Full Bilateral hearing The buyer specifically wanted what was advertised, a show and breeding quality dog with full Bilateral Hearing......... dog was immediately returned but no refund or exchange whatever. The buyer did receive this after being refused a replacement and told to take the dog back. "There are no rules against showing a unilaterally deaf dog and most people would never know. There are no rules about breeding unilaterally deaf dogs, either as many people never test for it. BAER testing is not required for a dog to be put on Main Register. There is no accreditation programme for it here in Australia, even. "

Sadly, 117 dogs may be just the tip of the iceberg. There are over 700 dogs unaccounted for between January 2025 and May 2026, and the questions about the rescue’s practices go back for years or maybe decades. Reportedly, Miranda’s Rescue was being paid large sums per dog for rehoming services.

A close friend here in QLD used to foster these dogs. She'd have them for around 6 months. -
Mairead, thank you for sharing the link! It’s very helpful.

"Lagotto Romagnolo New Zealand" https://lagotto.org.nz P.S. I've never had hairy dogs myself.

Thank you for your fast response. The six month period I was referring to was the timing for having the hair in his ears plucked. We have his ears cleaned by the groomer every two weeks. Can you share the comprehensive guide that you found. Thank you very much!
-
I searched "ear care Lagotto" and found a comprehensive guide from New Zealand. The ear care needs to be much more frequent than every six months. Certainly not waiting until there is so much hair that the dog needs to be sedated. How often is your dog groomed? Recurring infections I would consider a sign that something is not right about the ears or the ear care.
-
Our Lagotto has been having ear infections from wax buildup. We have the groomer remove the wax every time he is groomed. However, periodically the wax still builds up and there is an infection. Our veterinarian has plucked the hair from his ears a few times (about every six months), and this has helped. Our veterinarian has also prescribed the allergy medication Apoquel, and this also seems to help. If anyone has other suggestions for ear care, that would be greatly appreciated. Ideally, we’d like to avoid the hair plucking because each time he needs to be sedated and there are risks to that.
