Water quality also makes a difference,I find the Perth water very harsh compared to Melb,NSW & Adelaide & that can affect the outcome of a product. The Kelco i have used & found it very gentle on the coats but then i don't use dog products that often

There has been dogs shown with a missing eye but i would never do so personally ,i think there are scars & injuries that are showable & then some that aren't but it comes down to choice, Our show Greys always had scars of some sought they tear open so easily on the simplest of things. Many dogs are shown with scars & the likes . I do now of a beardie & Setter shown with an amputated tail again i wouldn't but the owners where happy to show

he detergent can be drying i only used it on the legs. Bellys some people can make the yellow worse & the drier the coat the more it stains.It is easier to just wash or dunk the pee feathers or areas nightly or every second. Not showing white at present i just use a ice cream container dunk the pee feathers so they don't break,same can be done with whites but when i showed the whites i would wash the area more often just to help it . Prevention is far easier than using all the products under the sun Brill cream is great on pee feathers ,you can oil but some create worse issues . You can simply spray warm water each night to dilute the pee & that works just as well

Isle of Dogs & Plush puppy i have never found any good. Both made the coats dry . For whites i just wash the legs in green dishwashing detergent if bad or velvet soap. Dazzle dog is great & add some white vinegar & works a treat . Most enhancing ones i find leave it dry & you need to clarify more often. Animal house whitening is fairly harsh too & i only used it on the legs if they where truly bad but i prefer to just maintain the coats & not have to go crazy with added stuff.

She will run off because she hasn't been taught otherwise. She has been taught free for all is good & means she can do what she wants & not listen to you . She needs to learn that playing offleash is a privilege & with that comes expectations & manners

Things to consider What you actually want to use it for. I mainly use mine for pushing the gear in so the real light weight filmsy ones won't last long . When pushing some of the cheapies sway/bend & aren't user friendly . We have the 2 light weight ones (ozzie Scales ) & they are excellent & push well with the junk but we also have very pusher friendly grounds. So consider the shows you attend & the grounds you need to deal with . Some are heavy but sometimes the heavy ones do the job best

I think it comes down to wait suits your feet & how much you want to pay & what is practical for showing in. I have bad feet so shoes are very important to me & i have very narrow feet but i will happily spend $200 on good shoes

I gather your looking at a Pharaoh hound club?? I would doubt there would be enough financial members to start especially depending on what activities you wish to run. The breed does have many grp/semi grp clubs that cater for the breed though

Kalgoorlie is either a place people love or hate. I totally loved the place,the community aspect & the wonderful friends we had there. We spent the weekends doing the most amazing things & had the time off my life there. I really miss it. I guess you experienced the 40 plus today

There is no such thing as a no kill shelter . Those shelters will offload problem dogs to others or worse still keep dogs alive that in all fairness should be PTS. Someone has to do the unthinkable & that does mean good healthy dogs being PTS ,heartbreaking yes but that is life The video is reality . Like others i would adopt the dog from what ever place because i now that is the dog for me .

Just hope the US judges can get here

I love my breed so having another isn't an issue. If you have questions about owning the breed again then that is something you all need to decide but you will never replace what you lost your are replacing with a breed that may be special to you & you enjoy being around

In WA just list the show & they can verify in the cats . I have had the occasional one missing & done this with no issues .must have all the details though

You are better showing now whilst a baby than deciding to show when the pup hits the competitive classes. Just because someone else handles it doesn't mean it will then show for you . Showing as a baby will give you a great bonding time in the ring . There would be juniors out there that would help more than adults .

First off be prepared for the flight to maybe arrive late & wait for the dogs to be offloaded sometimes there fast sometimes there very slow. .I would simply offer the food the pup is use to eating per your breeders chart as that is what its stomach is use to,it may be use to bones it may not be but give the wrong food & you will regret it . All my dogs are frequent flyers from pup onwards & not one has messed . As already mentioned don't have everyone going crazy over the pup ,some travel really well some take a time to settle & youare all strangers to the pup the surroundings will be foreign & maybe even the noises . So take it slow the first experience could be a lasting one

Many ask for the ears to be left. The greater majority we board/groom have spaniel ears by the owners request & also due to most not being groomed but just brushed by there owners I groom a few & all want varying things from the ears but the body is easy . A good groomer of Gol;den Retrievers will have no issues doing a Flattie

Are you giving magnesium tablets to assist with muscle spasms??? You may also fin bowen to be very helpful especially for spine issues. It was my old boys best friend . He was on previcox which worked best for him He did react to a number of the meds by over heating & would dig to china & be restless. Any meds he got on an alternate basis to minimize the side effects. Liver issues where a concern but in the end we decided quality in a shorter span was better ,he had spondolyisis . We also did bowen every 3/4 weeks & that was the biggest helper

Yep all ours do zoomies,its there body telling them to have fun. Its usually short & sweet & then they stop. We don't encourage it in the house at all far to dangerous & there is a time & place for it. You won't stop it from happening

I very much doubt grey breeders will send sick dogs to be rehomed most get the green dream ,easy come easy go Those issues are out there ,they where many moons ago when we used 2 of the top racer/trainers as our chiros. Many testicles where the norm nack 20 yrs ago but there answer was it was better anyway because there was less distraction to movement down there ,some removed 1 testicle to stop friction but most had 1 They where actually very interested to see the Show lines Greys didn't have the same issues . But those issues are starting to creep into show lines. We have had 1 with severe thyroid issues. All others where healthy people who lived to 12 plus yrs. Lets face it what goes to Greyhound rescue is only a spit in the ocean to what is out there & never seen

Here is a classic example of one person idea of function

You have the other end of the scale to ,those that have breed solely for working ability to the point you can no longer recognize the breed . As for racing Greys i remember the chiro we used for many years ,we took our Shows greys to her & it was always the talk . She asked on many occasion whether we would like to show some of the dogs that didn.t make the grade as runners & they had bad mouths,prick ears & many faults where they wouldn't meet the breed standard .

We have a few boarders who bring there sin with there dogs,i haven't seen any lay on them & they never feel cool nor inviting to the dogs . They also weigh a tonne & those are the small dog ones would hate to think how much the large dog one weigh.
