  1. I know it's been a while since this was last replied too, but I'm waiting with bated breath for an ultrasound to see if my long planned mating has been successful, so filling in time reading lots of old posts.With my second litter my beautiful girl allowed her son to clean her babies - I figured if she was happy with it there was no problem. He also gained the nick-name "The Guardian" because he minded the ten puppies whenever his mum had to go out. However, when his sister whelped things were different. She wasn't accepting help from anyone (including me). Nothing nasty, just a firm "No thank you". Poor Louis was heartbroken...he would peep around the corner to check on the babies all the time...
  2. All going well may have a litter of standard poodles around May 2nd. Ultrasound April 2nd - fingers crossed!
  3. I love both of them, but the energy and motion of the second one appeals to me most. Gorgeous dogs!!!
  4. Dr Gerry King, Redbank Plains Greencross Vets. Absolutely fantastic and stores semen etc.
  5. I applied for the GCCC breeder's permit and I am happy to have it. If we educate the public to buy from registered breeders who are happy to have their premises inspected and their dogs assessed we "steer" them away from those who are flying below the radar. I believe that was part of the council's agenda too. They do not have the resources to check every breeder, but they do check advertisements for litters and if they sound "dodgy" will check the breeder. It is not perfect but it is a step in the right direction.
  6. Hi there. I live in Coomera and I am a registered breeder with a Gold Coast Council permit. You apply to the council (I think the gentleman that handles this is called Norton). He comes out and inspects your property, records, food preparation area, dog accommodation, fences etc. You are subject to further inspections and the permit is not permanent. I think it is for three years and all dogs must be registered with the council. This information is correct as far as I know, but best to check with the people in charge. It was not a particularly onerous procedure and I was glad to be "legal" formally. If you have any other questions feel free to pm me :) And, of course, welcome to Qld!
