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

Does She Really Need An Elizabethan Collar?
Dogsfevr replied to WExtremeG's topic in General Dog Discussion
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 -

Class Winning/placings And Ribbons
Dogsfevr replied to Pretty Miss Emma's topic in General Dog Discussion
I agree you always get something said that acknowledges you have won/placed or something . The steward is the person in charge of the charts As for ribbons we have a bucket here ,most clubs rarely hand them out like they use to as they cost to much & if people really want them they will ask plus when going back in the ring you end up with ribbons & no where to put them or in pockets that are being used for other things -
We have swapped some dogs to Earthborn Coastal catch & it has worked wonders . We didn't have issues as such but we prefer feeding a fish based food & after others brands keep changing there make up we swapped to this & its great & the dogs love it

Most of these photos are very average ,the Irish looks awful in its photo compared to what it does in the ring . These aren't true to stacked photos & many look like there slipping on the flooring

Most good wire crates come with a puppy adapter to adjust the size

Does this person work night shift or do they not here there dogs bark if the others can't sleep?? Poms themselves are very vocal & i can imagine why they have complained there yappy bark does your head in after awhile. Not sure about a citronella collar on such small dogs . Given she doesn't want them inside i would leave it to her she needs to be prepared to compromise too but chances are these dogs aren't toilet trained . You can tell her the obvious inside,more attention/mental games. I would stress she is very lucky the neighbours have approached her first off & not gone to the council but she needs to do the hard work & seek help or change some living options before they do head to the council

How Soon Would You Start To Supplement Feeding
Dogsfevr replied to mini girl's topic in Breeders Community
We bottle feed from day 1 if we feel its required we don't use eye droppers .We bottle feed to top up from mum & often just for a few days our last litter we did for 3 days with 3 smaller ones We also never use calcium syrup but each to there own there -
I look at socializing differently & that is not approaching & playing with every dog they see & this isn't because there show dogs but because when i go for walks or sitting at the vets or similar i don't want my dogs to think its there right to play. My dogs are allowed to play on my terms & when appropriate . I have big boisterous dogs,they play rough,there intimidating if allowed & when older there nearly 40 kg . At 15 weeks your dog is small & manageable what you have now is very easy but consider the behaviour now at 4okg . Playing doesn't mean it will be socialized any better . My big dogs are taught the word gentle,they are taught to lay down for little dogs ,i still appreciate there big dogs & as such will play with the power of a big dog but i can minimize the risk onlead & educate for manners & if they get to excited i can simply walk away & they don't care game over They play at shows & have fun when all parties are happy for play time but when they aren't playing they are sitting calmly in the pens . Don't think the chain will create issues used correctly it will work well & it will be shown on a chain without any dramas but consider the obvious at present what your doing isn't working ,Flat collars don't work for every dog & being open minded as a dog owner is a must ,i would sooner use a tool that will work for said dog than have a dog that is no pleasure to walk & will get harder . Avoiding dogs wont train your pup but allowing it to play because it pulls is just rewarding bad behaviour ,mine don't get to play under those circumstances &there is nothing worse than seeing the owner getting dragged by there dog wanting to play i avoid them like the plague because they display no control or manners.
