Who said getting another dog is wrong?? The problem is people sometimes want another dog when in all reality the issues they have with dog 1 is something that needs to be addresssed . Well I guess that's a risk you take when getting a second dog for whatever reason. Which is why it would be important to go to a reputable breeder or rescue group who would 1), hopefully be able to match you with a suitable dog and 2) could support you and provide you with appropriate help with training/rehoming etc if it did go wrong. I am not sure many good breeders agree with that. I personally would not sell a dog to be a test case with a dog with issues after all those issues are then that breeders problem to address/retrain & no dog should be considered in that fashion that if it doesn't work then its a simple as rehoming or piggy in the middle & if owners haven't made the effort to address dog 1 issues then dog 2 wont be any better off Much more thought should be taken by the owner. We do sell alot of pups as dog # 2 to owners who have a wonderful first dog & have decided its time to have another dog for all the right reasons & the dogs get on like a house on fire . 2 dogs is a wonderful thing when it goes right

Alpha won't gain you any success,both parties need to respect each other. I truly don't read anything that sounds like be is being dominant. I read more like he is very bored & simply wants more to do . Does he get walked & plenty of activities for his 15 month old needs?? The coat part would happen here given the chance ,it was a game . Enjoying your dogs isn't a crime ,i have 3 that sleep on my bed & i wouldn't have it any other way but they now the rules,i now the rules & we all enjoy the company (my guys are 30 /40kg) They bring great comfort when required Your old girl is old & has her routine & needs ,your boy is young & ready to enjoy life ,its time to give him what he needs & let her enjoy time out when required.

Ask when it was last serviced . Depends on the car when traveling ,i tend to travel mine in the car & the junk goes in the trailer which i can then use at the other end . I think they have many benefits & the size your after you can easily set a Oz trail over the top & all shaded Look at the ones for sale on DOL or contact Toledo direct there in SA .

First thing would be to see what your council/state laws are. Each state is different & even in my home state each council has different requirements that kennels must meet I would think very long & hard before heading down this path.we run/own kennels but i wouldn't do it again . I love being in this field but its under appreciated & a 24/7 365 job

If the pup isn't show quality then i would suggest the breeder will say no. Nuetor class should still be about a quality dog not a pet dog . If you wish to show then i would suggest you need to inform the breeder now so they can advice what the options are. If they already have orders for show potential pups then chances are they will say no that is ofcourse providing there are enough bitches to go around in the first place . -

If the dogs poo really stinks then consider the diet

Vet check & you can also consider the diet ,some foods can make dogs very thirsty so drink alot means pee alot

You will get 2 passes . The chances you get a reply back in time that makes sense will be low ,you may be lucky . If you here nothing best beat is to buy passes from IGA. As for stuff you will have your bench ,size can vary some large some small. Spreading out isn't the easiest if you have neighbours,you can after 9am look for benches that may have more space though if you didn't nominate a spot. When it comes to the royal lest is better . I always take drinks because of the cost , i generally buy food but its just me,we use to do the lunch thing & breakkie thing but our group all decided its extra crap to cart in . My guys stay in there crates unless i feel they can have time out or if i shift there crate can sit on the bench ,normally i will just let them lay on there table close to the bench so people can't reach. If people ask to pat or look ligit i am happy to let them touch but i won;t get the dogs out if there sleeping or had enough especially if its a warm day the dogs really feel it inside . No one polices the on display thing people will touch all day if you let them & you need to be on the ball to those who have good intentions & those that wish to tease fairy floss fingers,toffee apples & the kids with there giant toys or things that wish to annoy the dog . You are lucky you will be first on before the public really arrive I do print a sign saying we are friendly but please ask before patting & found it to work very well. There is a rail between the bench & the dogs but some public feel there "special" & will move the rail . Plan on toilet breaks (human) There is a change room to the left as you head out to the exercise yard You collect your numbers or cat at the bench near the office which you will see easily. When you arrive you must turn to your right & on the board will be your bench number ,find your number & then go hunting for your bench,there are attendants there to help . You can either drive in the turn around area or just park & walk over but that is where the stuff you bring makes life easier. Often buying those pull along bags(the type the older ladies use for shopping $20 ) from red dot or similar are ideal even the kids can pull it along . At night you can drive in the pull around or walk over to the car park often its easier to walk over as the cue can be forever as some people are very slow at packing . .the trick is to go out early & get the car & be in the cue early . You can dress your bench up & make signs etc etc but again its all stuff to cart in. I do signs stating breed,name etc .i use to do the bench up but the novelty wears off after awhile The hole punch thing is pot luck & i will be honest i will refuse to do it , generally its a breed where the job can be shared around i will not do it if just me .it drives you crazy when you are benched next to someone that has it . I truly take the bare essentials & if there is an item i wish to take on the "just incase list" i will leave it in the car & get a stamp out if need be & that has yet to happen . You can place your gear under your bench,chairs can fit although if they have stuck you in s mall spot amongst people its harder . Don't take to many valuables & if you do hide them .thiefs like to do the rounds

Look at this option if it doesn't work out are you willing to hand puppy back ?? Are you able to deal with it not going to plan.

I wouldn't bother if your using a good comb that will do the job. You don't thin the under coat brushing removes the dead coat , Unless your Shih Tzu has a terribly crappy coat a good brush & comb is all you need .most Shih don't have stacks of under coat so its important make sure you won't brush it bold.

Buldogs make excellent pets BUT they area lot of dog in a smallpackage & people make the mistake of the Cute factor but they grow quickly & area powerful unit when untrained. We board alot of Bulldogs in all seasons & all are healthy ,happy dogs that live a normal life. We have also boarded Aussie Bulldogs of all shapes & sizes & many riddled with HD & other issues.Sadly the owners brought them under the assumption they are healthier because they believed the stories told by those who have no clue . All the Bulldogs we board are owned by people that work . But i guess the biggest factor to consider is how much you wish to pay for your next dog BB aren't cheap . I would certainly do a list of what you want/don't want or could live with if it was the right dog. Coat care Active inactive cuddly independent etc etc

Anyone now who got BOB Std Poodle it isn't listed like the other breeds

I wouldn't change anything nor would i give any foods that are different with her age & any other reason to feel insecure. Just go about it like its a normal day ,if she barks then deal with it. If you speak with your neighbours go around & explain what has happened & ask then to alert you if she is barking. You may find she reacts more to the being with you all week & then suddenly having nothing
