Many do for example ours would be listed on the animal health trust site

I have no issues providing it is used within reason. I use one for my individual exercises but would rarely use it in a line up with other dogs. Some people use them so often the dogs don't care anyway . If you do use it over the top you will soon get told

Depends on the breed to some are well known for doing it

yes because the person i use will advise straight away if they feel an x ray is required . The last time our bowen person ask us to get an x ray was after the vets said nothing was wrong,she was right & the x ray showed the issue . .

yes but on older dogs but we use Bowen because if the arthritis is an issue all the joints will suffer from the dog getting up & down. Maintaining a good exercise pattern is also important & watch the weight . Even if sore the dog still need sto move around.swimming is great

I don't read that section often * if & when i do i would miss every post & i imagine many others are the same. The title is very specific so i can see why many people would not feel the need to visit the area & i certainly don't see people not replying there as ignoring someone its just not an area i visit. If the same topics where posted in health then chances are more people would read & maybe give advice. But like others have said advice can't always be given & sometimes the obvious advice isn't what the OP want to hear so better to say nothing .

We own a scanner ,the cheap so no drama & when the pup goes to its new home its scanned infront of new owners to ensure paperwork matches . Very easy peasy

We hand strip cavies coats with stripping tools ,it doesn't shorten the coat at all (unless you are breaking it) Schnauzers we strip back to skin (bald) & then maybe with a good coat roll it ) Cavies shed all the time so many tools can be used to strip out the dead coat & keep the stunning top coat & colour ,you don't shorten it you remove the dead coat

The 14 July The Cavie club of QLD have there Champ show there will be a great turnout from dogs all over Australia maybe worth considering as a meet & greet day

I don't mind at set shows. I have flown over for the Bulla shows with competitive adults & placed due to this system other wise would have missed out. I also like winning class in groups . I would support a show if it had 1/4 & will be attending a number of shows east that do have this system & find it worth the expense i pay to fly the dogs ,grp 3/4 is still a good win & even those youngsters could get this spot & do

They can be awful snorers

Bathing doesn't have to be weekly but a clean coat is easier to brush. They shed alot BUT this can be minimized by using the correct tools & working on the coat . Most pet owners have the slippers on there feet trimmed tight but others like it. I hand strip alot of my dogs when being bathed as it removes more coat ,i generally use a slick n easy at bath time you can also use a flea or nit comb for the cheaper scale

Chances are very slim . You would need to work on the coat weekly to give it any chance & that must be done no matter what. If you don't wish to put the time in & buy the tools then it won't have a chance of happening BUT a good groomer should have explained this too you at first & then gave you the option to clip or hand strip. You can tell by the coat whether its doable also.

outcrossing also produces issues just like crossing mutts

Surely she has a friend that can go with her for the drive. We will go out of our withinn reason but pups owners need to play a role as well & yes we would ask for petrol money because any other pet owner would drive

We board alot of Jack Russell's & find the ones from good breeders to be very laid back & easy to live with .Even at Dog shows they are more sensible than many other breeds so i wouldn't rule them out . After that you are limited . Although if a bit of coat work is doable you have the Border Terrier ,Cairns i think are awesome family dogs.
