  1. Keep her away from slippery floors and stairs and no jumping. All toilet breaks and walks on lead until vet says otherwise. No playing with other dogs. If unsupervised crate. Once vet says so make sure you do the gentle walking on lead for increased periods to build the muscles up.
  2. Gary Pitt Gary is great and he is in Morayfield Qld
  3. Odin was 9 weeks when he flew over from NZ and he had to fly to wellington and a 3 hour lay over before flying into Brisbane. Miss Maude was 14 weeks when she flew up from Adelaide. Both happy as larry when they arrived and busting for cuddles. a harness should be fine as long as it is small enough that she cant wiggle out of it.
  4. I would take a nice piece of lamp flap bone with most of the meat removed for her but a pigs ear would probably do just fine for a pup her size to keep her entertained. I wouldn't think they will do anything for her in sydney on the layover as they are then liable if anything happens to the pup, so she will stay in her crate until you pick her up. and dont forget a collar and lead
  5. Take scissors or clippers to undo the crate, some of the staff are great and help you get the baby out and others are not so be prepared with something sharp to cut the plastic ties. I wouldn't stress too much the baby will be fine. If you are taking her back to the office I highly recommend taking a towel and water to wash her with as she will probably have pooped in the crate and clean bedding and a plastic bag for the old stuff. My boy had made really stinky mess when I picked him up from NZ. I would offer water once out of the crate but not too much. once back at the office I would have a pen with toys or a big bone for her as she is not going to want to stay in the crate any longer. I wouldn't worry about food until you get her home. have fun with your new baby
  6. I'm watching too as I had my boy done with the 12 month one in June. He is. 65kg bullmastiff who has had his semen tested prior. So will watch and wait.
  7. Thanks Caesars Mum! She's gorgeous and eager to please. I'm sure she's going to mature in to a wonderful girl as long as we keep a firm hand with her ;) BTW Your boy in your pic is very handsome! thanks we like the nutter. now if you really want dangerous zoomies try a 65+KG 7 year old St Bernard who thinks he is 2, deadly. thankfully now he is 8 and started to slow down after heart surgery we can all relax a bit and not spend our time outside waiting for impact.
  8. As a long term concern for hip and elbow health, I would be restricting stairs, long walks on lead and slippery surfaces. the only time you usually get into trouble with zoomies is if there are multiple dogs or a human in the way, but accidents can happen. good luck with your baby, I have meet a couple of Corso puppies lately and they are great dogs.
  9. a prong collar even used improperly cant strangle a dog or damage the tracea as it is a martingale with limited restriction unlike a check chain which can just keep getting tighter untill the dog drops from being strangled. Also pulled hard and fast can cause major damage with a check chain to the tracea. give me a prong collar any day
  10. Thanks guys this was my concern too that it would be really hot inside. Being aluminum checker plate I wasn't too concerned about the weight. Starting to think I should just add a tax box and crate rack to my current trailer. Thanks for everyone's input
  11. Anvet in Kedron have it and so does the Banyo vet, both lovely vets
  12. I'm looking at a trailer made entirely of checker plate and it has no lining. Has anyone owned one of these and what did you think of it I'm worried it will be hot for the dogs. Current owner used it for Bullmastiffs and says it was great and stayed cool. Any advice please as it ticks all the other boxes. It reminds me of the hunting dog trailers.
  13. This really does not relate as children have a level of right and wrong and reasoning that dogs don't and never will have. Even a seven year old knows what they did was wrong.
  14. Megan I too was one of the lucky ones to rarely if ever feel the belt around my butt. But I knew from a very young age the consequences of doing something I shouldn't. These particular children need disciplining over this matter and more then just a slap on the wrist. The need to understand consequences and a good whopping could be there saving. I know I raised my kids with a wooden spoon handy and they all made it to adulthood as decent people who have not had run ins with the law. And they still manage to love there mother
  15. Yes we are entered on the 6th and 7th in group 6 so look forward to meeting you yep we will be there both days too so do drop in and say high
  16. whats wrong with chicken feet Snag, I buy them for the dogs to chew on, they love them.
  17. ZharaBelle if you are entered on Sunday for Maree KC make sure you come and say high, I have bullmastiffs and will usually be parked down under the trees a bit away from the ring.
  18. 8 to 10 years so he is getting on a bit, but looks lovely. have they contact his breeder
  19. Maybe contact the bullmastiff club of south Australia they may be able to help.
  20. Agree 100% with this. you have on you hands an adolescent very large breed and she will be testing you for top dog position. Unless you are very experienced with large breeds you really need to get a behaviourist in to assist you. this will spiral out of control quicklyif not dealt with by an experienced large dog behaviourist, especially as she is already mouthing/biting.
  21. Ams she is gorgeous you must be so excited. There was a puppy at the show on Sunday who was so friendly and up for heaps of cuddles. I'm sure she will bring you heaps of joy. There is nothing like gentle giant cuddles and kisses.
  22. Congrats Ams I think I may need to visit in late September :) for mastiff cuddles
