$30-40 depending on time. I live in the SE suburbs, much closer to the airport than KCC and it costs me at least $50 each time. Jag is going to the Showgrounds in Ascot Vale NOT KCC in Lyndhurst.

Uuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmm reckon there is room for a few more cavs on that bed. :D

How disgusting. Words fail. :D :p :p

Well done Zanie. Rochelle will be over the moon.

I have never stopped people from attended the whelping or visiting. But this is people in the know. Buyers on the list would come earlier after about 3 weeks and from adverts from when advertised. If you wait till 6 weeks then you are never going to fit in the number of people recommend for contact. It is important to handle the pups before the eyes and ears open for tactile stimulation. play with their feet and pads. Once ears open lots of household noise.

Yes, Dancinbsc My vet said it was more common than many realise, often entire litters have it and appear to be suffering from a "failure to thrive" until, as you say post mortom checks are made. When checking a newborn it is unlikely a Vet is going to pry it's delicate jaw open and Stick a light down it. They gently check for the more easily seen hole in the roof of the mouth. I had one breeder just tell me "she's never had one" but really, she has lost puppies that have "failed to thrive' or "struggled" but not had them checked out after they passed on. So who knows. Interestingly, my recent research has shown that it is connected to a "mid-line" congenital deformity, where fissures remain open along the midline of the body, most probably occurring during early cell division of the embryo. Giving you such conditions as Cleft Palate, Spina Bifida and umbilical hernias. Thankfully the girls are all doing well and getting rounder! Good research LizT that is indeed when deformities of the newborn occur also gastoschisis, undetermined sex in the genital organs, bifucated brain.

JB :rofl: :coffee: lovely tribute to the evil cats. Dogs have got nothing on cats. ;) :cry: Run Free Ari and Baz

BMP could have done it but she was here today. When are the fauves??

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh I will have 3 ruby females please. :rofl:

It was a major bummer to not catch him today. :coffee: ;) :cry: Oh well, just lay low for a couple of weeks and see if he returns. :( :( Thank you very much all who turned up today and bert&sally for the great contribution during the week. :rofl: :rofl: :coffee:

R&M how tragic. Big to you. All that has been said about saying the truth is much better than passed away and asleep. Keep talking about Riley and the fun times.

Despite not sighting the lad all week we are aiming for another go on Saturday. :( :D ;) and :( all goes well.

Did you get the email and PM????

RIP Cooper. Gone too soon because of your stupid owners. There is a guy I see every morning jogging with a lab off lead. If I ever am able to be close I will yell at him to get an extenda lead if he wants to give the dog freedom. :)

I was just perusing the entry form and saw the same nothing about illness. It is interesting that you are stating out for 3 months. Because as a human with an infectious disease we are not required to be isolated for 3 months after recovery. Unfortunately most infectious diseases are infectious 2-3 days before symptoms occur. And you are no longer infectious once recovered. Parvo maybe different. I do not have knowledge on that.

Crestiexdachie is my guess and the zits are common on cresties. I see crestie owners regularly squeezing them out a shows.

Philipa and Ian :D from Zarah, Wil, Ruby, Cleo, Holly. Oops fogot me. :laugh: Run free Evie

LizT that bought to my eyes when you mentioned your brother. Yes you have definitely become a breeder. Big

Maybe she just had a cold. My sisters 2 cavs had cold about 3 months go. Coughed if they swallowed mucous but def was not kennel cough.

What a bummer Flaves. Did not realize he had it.

Bit of a set back.

I heard! Thanks I heard her say beagle, heard you cheer.. then kinda thought, oh shit, that's me!! The look on your face was priceless! you sort of looked around for a second then it dawned on you!! That would have been funny to see.
