  1. Most parts of the world have done it successfully for years without any problems. Australians want more for their pets then dont want when its offered /suggested . The biggest change in mindset will be Australians learning to embrace a dog crate & as so many are anti crates . I just wish my dogs meet the criteria & that criteria will eliminate most pets And you can already fly out of Melbourne on Qatar i think it is to Dubai with dogs in crates in the cabin but comes with requirements too .
  2. This is nothing new just like all the people who offer to house sit friends dogs with no coverage . Whilst in your care you are the legal owner so if the dog bites,causes damage etc etc you are liable . Legally its very simple pay for business insurance & have a business contract .
  3. I believe the Pitbull & Am Staff are very separate breeds but fall under the category of "Bully "breeds just like Staffies. No different to Whippets,Grehounds being sighthounds . We boarded a number of Pitbulls many many years ago when you could honestly say they where true to type pure we also board alot of Am Staffs . You could tell the difference easily when both a breed true to type . These days Pitbulls rarely are true to type or even the breed . So many created as pig dogs mixed with anything . I can honestly say the Pitbulls we boarded where the most delightful dogs . The above situation wouldnt have mattered if it was a Labrador ,dumb owners not accepting what the dog had done & using there brains accordingly . As for council well all you have to do is look at Found dog posts & realise they have no clue what too label the dog found . I mean so many still list a black fluffy as a Maltese
  4. The most devasting part of this is vets are the ones who have to do the sh#t part of the deal in an indutsry that already has the highest suicide levels & put down healthy dogs.rescues have the same deal . I totally understand that some of these crosses are just so extreme with bad owners whether that be macho nobs to those who claim clueless & dont have the strength to control such powerful dogs (even if friendly) This also affects people who rent houses as it can factor into your tenancy insurance so people who have done the right thing in getting the dog certified could then have there lease cancelled . There have been some horrific attacks in the UK but they have done breeds bans before as has Europe . This should be many Australians wake up call as we are extremely naive country full of entitlement without actually training dogs to be in public
  5. Plus the other obvious if your dog caused a car accident you would be liable there too consider this a cheap fee for a second offence . Learn from this & be more responsible & read the dog act . a client of ours many years ago was in the same scenario as the other person ,she ended up falling over protecting her dog .Broke her hip & passed away from complications of the injury because "the dog just simply ran across the road" Owner cried "poor me" like you & learnt very quickly being a nob gets you no where fast .That owner was sued & the family won as there was plenty of witnesses & CCTV footage No attack but the actions fall under that category . If you lose just to prove a point with time be prepared for a bigger bill
  6. Something fishy about this post . Even a cowboy company wouldnt claim "leave in undisclosed pound" Would love to see the email that claim this & i gather you have taken action in small claims court & got your money back .
  7. We have had dogs pass out eating them so its good to be cautious. Some dogs no matter what you do with them freeze,bash an end are just not meant to eat them so yes supervise. I never feed them brought that day always freeze first . Some dont have the stomach acids for them to be a viable choice either & dont overload with too many. Use brains & common sense if it doesnt look successful then the world wont end if never feed again
  8. Most boarding kennels will not take on liability dogs. We wont take knowingly aggressive dogs . Your biggest factor will be finding a facility built to manage & minimize the issue your dog has . Aka if dog aggressive then a facility set up so the dog cannot spar through the fences all day & night ,become over stimulated & reactive If you human then most wont bother . Also consider the time of year boarding that covers quieter periods . Sadly many kennels have had their experience with issue dogs & dont repeat the experience often as its too stressful for the staff & the dog
  9. I think in general puppy sales has hit a low also factoring that puppies coming into the new year can always be harder to sell with the start of the year being one of many $$$$. We never had puppies over this period (granted we never had issues selling either) Renting issues with Pets & general uncertainty for many people . I also think for some breeding fade colours only the world is realizing to a degree it can come with vet bills & are being smarter shoppers
  10. You are training him that the 2 options are acceptable all day . Its time especially during the day to make sure that outside is the only choice .
  11. Nope wouldn't leave on my dog will rust any way but to high a risk of getting caught on something with martingales
  12. Ditch the malaseb and get F10 shampoo far superior and designed for yeast. As for washing you stand and watch for 10 mins
  13. Surgical artificial insemination in dogs (ava.com.au) They only want TCI performed & many vets from this July will be ceasing AI . Many breeders have had to start making decisions on what to do with stored stuff & the loss is just beyond common sense from the AVA , TCI semen quality needs to be different to AI so for many who have stored semen or have low count semen the options & loss of valuable lines & diversity is being thrown out the window . There reasons listed are ridiculous & how they have implied to the public scare mongering . TCI best success rate is with over 200million.Some have had TCI success under that but the risk of failure is higher which is why having the option in the right circumstances important. Obviously breeders if they fail a go with a TCI will try an AI the next time as some bitches do better with it positioned . Its a really scary time for those who are just pondering what route to take . A friend has semen that is poor quality it has resulted in a miss,1 pup & 1 pup but the pups from AI There is 1 breeding left & this person is the only person in the world with semen from that international dog left If their not AVA members all should be good for awhile or the very least they need to perform more TCI than AI . I now a few had issues with pyo after TCI but never with AI . Most will claim if the implanter is well trained then their is no drama . TCI is used more in Europe but by the same token the way Europe is heading for many things thats nothing to get excited over.
  14. Well you could start with the AVA who are bringing in laws on what means of AI can be done & that in turn means semen from the 80/90 & 00 being flushed down the loo so there goes a whole lot of valuable & irreplaceable genetic diversity
