Round 2 tonight Toys & utility glad i have nos shows this weekend to have day hanny naps

Being a bUllie doesn't mean its any more stubborn than another puppy that hasn't a clue. Holding the lead behind you pup often ends up a big game .They want to see it,it gets a reaction out of you & the pup gets in trouble & then the lead is an enemy All our pups little & future 40 kg are allowed to carry the lead if they wish at first ,the lead is always in front of them loss.All is visual . My show dogs are shown on chocker style leads as are many dogs at shows so as far as the OMG chuck it out you will ruin the dog i don't agree BUT bad training & no fun will ruin it whether it be choker,flat collar or anything else. The Bullie folk here use the rope slip leads which are thick I use food & toys to train & all is a game

cash all the way

We scan because we work around any litters we have so prefer to now whether there are pups or not so we can change any plans or commitments

I hope the very lame Staffy wasn't lame for breed judging given how many it beat & considering good sounds dogs where DQ last year .

You need to treat the affected feet ,you can use tinea cream or cheap white vinegar,malaseb or anything that you use on the ears,Its frustrating that vets don't check this & treat aswell The issue will go back & forth & then they lick there feet & it goes to there mouth /face .

The International Junior Handler Finals is on Saturday so good luck to our Aussie rep who flew out yesterday

Does this dog have yeasty feet ??(especially the back feet)

It makes me laugh if a client takes a dog to vet due to clipper rash from a groomer they jump up n down saying there careless. When the vet nurses go clipper crazy with a #40/50 blade & cause a serious issue it has to be done. There is no excuse for clipping those areas with surgical blades. Our dog had surgery & was shaved with a #40 & about 50% of his body& the clipper rash was so severe that when he had the runs whilst still in there care he burnt his scrotum & anus area & not once did they put anything on it. He suffered more due to the insane clipping than he did from the surgery & given clipper rash can often turn into bad hot spots it isn't something they should be so trivial over After a month of intense treatment & special care he started to heel but the suffering was not something i would wish on anyone

Food is often the major factor ,chopping it wont do anything except make the beard sit like a dummy brush & take years to regrow back,every inch of that beard is the age of the dog & desn't grow like the leg hair. Diet & cleaniness plays a big part

You shouldn't have to ask for starters. Forms can vary from hand written to typed but should still be on official paperwork Misuse of copies can happen & yes it does happen but shouldn't be a reason for you at the very least not to be shown them or given copies . We do give copies after all its part of that puppies record & goes in the puppy folder The simple reality is most of these dogs are listed on websites or other places with there health status so its no real secret .

A wolfie will never fit on the cat walk any way ,i wouldn't dream of even trying & yes as others have said the tyre jump & tunnel aren't designed for many large breeds . I love Wolfies & showed them in the ring for a friend for many years & they are very laid back,slow paced ,soft & very gentle .I find there sensitivity (typical of sighthounds)to be more extremem than most & get very disheartened quicker . They are quite simply a gentle giant

I would say agility with a wolfhound will be a hard task . Depends what you want to live with one is lazy as one is way more active

If your getting an older dog chances are it will already be spayed especially a bitch . If getting a bitch & planning to keep her entire your current male may decide that isn't fun for him even though he is spayed . We are breeders but i can't stand girls in season so we have a small number of entire bitches & once retired they are spayed asap . We have had 2 pyo s picked up very early as we pay attention which is a must with entire animals Girls in season are either something you are happy to deal with or not ,you can certainly spay when more mature in a larger breed

Hopefully not to many will be affected by the fires & the road closures tonight,a number of dog folk are up that way & been evacuated or can't get in or can't get out. A few dog people went bush walking last night to get home & another was allowed back in around 11 am .

To be honest i would worry less about socializing & playing & worry more about care.

I don't care if there not always cheerful,i have stewarded in the past & anyone who does that job deserves a medal due to rude exhibitors,people that aren't ready,don't listen,walk off ,never answer there calls & many that blame the stewards for all sorts of evils After all it is the exhibitors job to be ready but a steward who is in charge is a wonderful tool especially as many do the job on there own & as a volunteer

Never ever used one for spaying ,only had one for eye suregery & that was a requirement that we also agreed with. We have a vet clinic here that insists on them as part of there care package .The funny part is you can go to the shop down the raod & buy one for half the price & the actual correct size. A good vet who does a good job rarely requires a bucket,yes some dogs can be a one of a kind . The dogs hate them ,the wrong size makes drinking hard . You can buy dog neck braces which stops there heck from turning & still allows drinking & laying comfy
