Bonduca, they look so cute

Our babies are 5 weeks old now.

It is too hard to get a group photo now, trying to get 11 babies to stay in the one spot just does not work

Donation will be done tomorrow.

What they aspire to isn't really the point - on THAT DAY they were judged on conformation only. Whether they had working titles or not wasn't taken into consideration any more than it is in any OTHER conformation show. Black_Bronson was complaining that a working titled dog was placed further down the field. Well, they weren't judging on working ability, it's a conformation show!

As mentioned, we aren't in Germany......

Not operating under German rule is nothing to be proud of, as the detriment of doing so produces poor quality dogs. The Australian system provides no quality control of maintaining the working genetics of a working dog and therefore provides the foundation not to improve the breed but to make it worse.

It's not a matter of being proud or not, it's a matter of staying within the guidelines of the ANKC and the restrictions placed by the Government. We are not able to incorporate the working/protection compoment in our shows, so that, unfortunately, ends up being a mute point in Aus. It is something that is not within our power. If this was to change in the future, then I would joyfully welcome the incorporation of working components at Specialty Shows but until that day happens it really is a pointless discussion.

Bisart,

This has been cross posted to a GSD Forum. Hopefully the owner can be found.

We unfortunately lost both the bitch Aust. Ch. Japhtabull Padme Amidala and her 11 puppies on the 23rd April. ;) :p This was the litter due on the 30th April.

I am so sorry for your heart wrenching loss. RIP Mum and precious babies

Hi Zensu,

I had frozen semen shipped from Qld to Vic recently, Frozen Puppies arranged it all for me and it was delivered to my Vets door.

BB, it has been suggested and I am choosing to ignore it lol We know she has a lot of babies in there, had her xrayed to confirm but still could not get an accurate count.

6 days to go, she is well and truly fed up now.

Congrats Groupfive

We have 9 days to go here

Congratulations on all the new arrivals

We have 12 days to go....

It is getting too hard for standing shots, all she wants to do it sit or lay down lol

OK..... all went well and the puppy count on xray was 8!

Congrats Labs, a nice belly full

Hi Stef,

35kg's at 10 months of age is certainly not small. Do you mean that people say she is small height wise? Her weight is certainly not on the small side.

6 week belly pics

3 weeks to go ..... not that I am counting

Belly pic @ 5 weeks

Thought I'd add a belly pic, taken today @ 4 weeks & 1 day in whelp

My girl is 4 weeks today, definately has a pregnant belly happening and has put 4 kilos on in 4 weeks.
