Not a surprise at all if people are following the animal welfare aspects of Europe & people should be worried

Get a rehab specialist . Generally speaking swimming for injury recovery is warm water & with a set purpose in mind .

For xrays that price is good . As to a second opinion suggest if you have no confidence in your vet yes . I will always advocate for a second opinion but we are lucky that when we pick our chosen vet clinic we do so based on what they can offer as a complete package & skill of the staff . In your case if its a second opinion then it would be with a vet whois a specialist in ortho issues or regularly does the procdeure otherwise your just wasting money . It may not require surgery often a conservative approach can work but you wont know till an xray . If nothing shows up then consider a doggy chiro /bowen person some wont treat till after x rays but those golden hands & water exercise can do alot & management

Albino is not accepting in any breed or form . Some idiots do breed for albinos & bigger idiots buy them whinge when the health issues or cancer care is required in summer . No different to humans

Most in NZ use Massey but the greater majority use LABOKLIN VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY (UK) Cambridge Uni in the UK as well . We wont use orivet

! COLOUR Any colour or mixture of colours - but never merle (dapple) Extended Breed Standard of the Chihuahua - Page 13 Colour may be almost any colour or combination of colours, solid, tri-coloured, marked or splashed. There are fawns, golden fawns, red fawns, silver fawns, blue fawns, reds and creams, sables, chocolates, blues, blacks, whites, creams, etc. The only “colour” which is not permitted is merle (dapple). Colour should NEVER influence any judging decision, as all colours, except merle, are equally correct. As above cream can vary from pale to dark Technically a White Chi would simply be a pale cream so if the people your talking to on Facebook cant explain that then their knowledge is questionable . White -albino is a whole different thing & runfast

Ears change & especially during teething but simple reality shes a rescue not likely breed with keeping the breed feature ears . If the shape & set is wrong they wont ever fix compared to teething ears

In my own breeds the colours have different natures bigtime . In Labs Chocs often are more scatty ,obsessive even now . I handle a very bomb proof Choc but we board alot of fruit loop chocs. I find the blacks more vocal The yellows really good all rounders

If there a decent breeder they will likely have your number blocked . No way will you be getting this puppy back . I can guarantee if the money was refunded that quickly they felt red flags & addressed it quickly & smartly & did all the rights things for the pup. Simply put your relationship with this breeder is well & truly ended with no comeback

There is no right or wrong just what ends up the best fit for the dog . Any dog having seizures i would want a Thyroid test done

Just drop his dry food for 6 weeks and stick to what is working & see what happens . He may be the kind of dog that needs kids Gaviscon given for reflux

Colour i cant help as im not sure how simple it is in Staffies without knowing colours in pedigree & DNA colour testing . As to the COI it again is as simple as lower is better & hopefully no breeder goes by that theory alone . I do know in the UK many have that mindset yet within my breed dogs in a pedigree of hips scores up near the 30 OMGno BAER testing but brag about the COI being low has truly screwed over the concept on know your pedigree

Im presuming your using a repo vet so they would have clearly explained the best timing & timing may mean not in the morning but ready in the afternoon .Good repo vets tell you the whole package Are you using chilled.frozen . Days are irrelevant for AI numbers count even breed quirks can be considered . I know plenty of AI done around days 20/25 with good success

I gather most will be PTS because people think thats a better choice & apparently find that thought process easier to live with aslong as they cant run in circles. Funny part is for many many many years the biggest source of blood donors to save dogs lives are also Greyhounds so people dont have an issue when there dog needs blood transfusion to have it from a Grey but want the industry banned but dont really care what the future is for the dogs . Im gathering lure coursing or Sprintdog isnt an option with the NZKC dog sport events

Yes there are still show bred there & i certainly hope the NZKC fights hard for the show people because yes that NSW saga was not nice for the Greyhound show folk who got targeted & had to deal with the unknown fear for that period because no one uses there brains.
