Thanks heaps - guessing Cockers are a bit smaller than SharPei but will give them a call and see what sort of ballpark

Our current advice is wait til min six months and $500 to $700

Hi everyone

Never had one before had only heard of them but we have a 9 week old puppy with an Ingroinal Hernia

Has anyone had one repaired / desexed at same time and what age

Vets indicating six or more months old and very sad to hold onto him for that long and then look to rehome him

Was thinking of giving him away on the condition it is done after six months of age (he is a very nice puppy)

Anyone else had one, and if so had it fixed - approx age / costing and in the Brisbane area ?

I have just listed some suits/jackets and shoes on the Dogzonline Classifieds.

Having a huge clear out of everything that is now too big

Have a heap of clothes between size 18 up to 26 (not necessarily show clothes) if anyone is keen send me a Private email and I can send you some pics

After so much longing and waiting, and the wonderful generosity of his breeders in Denmark, it is with so much sadness that we lost our beautiful 'AC' just 13 days after arriving in Australia

So much trepidation in getting him, so much excitement and so much love - and he was the dog of our dreams, the very very best cocker we have had the pleasure of being loved by in the past 19 years !

Such a cruel twist of fate, when you finally get what you think is the very very best, and will do so much for you, that it is so quickly taken away

This lovely boy will never ever be forgotten, and although a week has passed the tears have still not stopped flowing

We only got to love you in person for such a short period of time, but loved you from afar for many years - we will always think of you, our lovely boy, 'AC'

Taken way too early . You will never be forgotten

23/10/01 - 20/3/06 - but at Rainbow Bridge forever and beyond

Our love and kisses forever

If there are any spots that come available for a consult or another day being planned I would love to book a place for me and a Cocker Spaniel I am at my wits end with - behavioural

If you can PM me if anything comes up muchly appreciated

I dont work Fridays so available any time of the day will be fine with me

Thanks in advance

Great too for bites and stings

If you are showing dogs and they get bitten by a greenant in the ring etc

Douse the foot with ACV and the sting goes

Most effective 'sting remover' we have found

Just carry it in a small spray bottle for ready application

Eagle Pack is FABULOUS

All our dogs are on it, and previously our Vizsla with the horrific continual ear problems, was on the holistic formulae

After trying all the other Gluten Free and Yeast Free dry foods - none of them made a dramatic difference to her ears - except for Eagle Pack!

Our show/breeding dogs are all fed the Power Formulae

The problem Vizsla the Holistic Lamb and Rice

And seriously - less than one cup is more enough for a Cocker - ours actually put on weight if we feed them the whole cup full

The only addition our doggies get to their diet is sometimes some Scottys ProPeak Roll, and Chicken Necks

In Qld, Carolyn Pearen is the distributor and she does a great price for breeders - I THINK the 15kg Power Formulae is $76 (around that price)

I have for the past seven or so years used Hills Science, then Pedigree Advance, and dont get me wrong, they too were good, but our dogs do GREAT on the Eagle Pack

A dematting tool may help - like a Coat king, but designed to cut through knots.

Incidentally. Coat King has now released a new model - specially for pet owners, which retails for around $30. I think this is a great idea.

Hi Jed

I have a puppy buyer wanting to know where you can get the Coat King for Pet Owners - they have only been able to find the real on for $56 and want to get the cheaper one you are talking about.

Thanks in advance

We use BIOLAC but I make it up with just a touch of water to get the powder into a paste, and the rest of the mix we use Carnation milk.

Works like a treat, microwave the bottle for 20 secs and feeds the babies.

A vet told me a long time ago that the Carnation milk adds more fat to the mix and helps put the weight on the babies quickly.

And when we cant source BIOLAC, have used Animalac with the same success, using the Carnation milk again in the mix.

Hope this helps your puppy :D

I think I must fuss over mine way too much - Once they are four weeks in whelp, I change their dry food from Energy to Puppy and once they hit six weeks, they get two meals per day, and the last week three meals per day.

We have a bitch with three day old puppies at present, and I am feeding her five times a day - she loves chicken necks, and will eat ten to twelve in a sitting with dry food, and today I made her scrambled eggs, with half a carton and she scoffed the lot and I cooked up the other half dozen for her straight away.

I do hand feed them when they wont eat, and I will buy whatever takes their fancy - I always find BBQ Chickens, Kabana, KFC Chicken Nuggets (I know I know but they love them), and Vegemite toast soldiers tempt the fussiest Cocker Spaniel eaters :D

Whoever said Nutrigel was great is spot on - my guys line up to lick it from the tube as a treat whenever any of the bitches have puppies, they all have to have a taste
