I would clarify if they need to be DogsNSW judges or just judges . If you click on events you will see what shows are coming up in your area or where may be happy to drive too

The dogs need to go to the vet irrespective for there departure requirements to enter NZ.The travel agent you use will assist you with an export vet where it will also be discussed the risk off flying the oldies and management off the dogs and getting th3m use to a crate ASAP

Some breeds have a naturally higher level

Renal issues ? What is the dig currently being feed that including treats and treats often no one wants to admit in the home . It can also be higher for some cancers

I handled Wolfhounds and would want more body for its age but no one can guarantee what it is . We boarded a Staghound the other week who looks like a pure Deerhound ,it’s litter mates more Staghound

Maybe they could volunteer for poops

You need to contact Breeders to find prices ,it’s the easiest and correct info which will also allow you to know the potential waiting time

You won’t win anything as it’s not a battle .. The couriers don’t work on your schedule or what makes life easy for you . You need to create a solution when you block off access to your front door . Its your role to offer a safe solution .

I don’t see this as all about the hubby . Maybe he wanted this pup for himself and you have the other dog to enjoy .That you both have a dog in there life . Many older dogs don’t play straight away that is not abnormal at all. It doesn’t mean pup needs to be placed with another dog this is where the humans step up as they would with an adult single dog with enrichment in there daily lives . Its not craving attention from the other dog it just sees the other dog as it’s litter mates or mum if a good player . Why is the breeder refusing to talk too you ?

I think Noah’s Crossing vet does but whether it’s for public use not sure

Your concern should be contacting the breeder and giving them the opportunity to have input . Your concerns are over the top and based on no communication with the actual source . You don’t want the pup fine sooner it’s out the better as a puppy will feel all this tension . The plane trip is no drama and could be less drama than be shoved off to a rescue ,then a foster and who knows what from there . This pup did not sign up for this first and foremost and it needs to be the priority not all the other stuff at present especially as your not keeping it . The rescue will sell the pup and the breeder has every right to resell the pup if returned in the same condition it left and if you communicate with the breeder they may refund purchase price but you pay the plane trip home . At the moment you need to make the pup the priority off where it’s future is

To clarify which dogzonline site this one or dogsonline there are two . Personally i think your over thinking it all because you dont want the pup . The breeder can sell the pup at 8 weeks ,what others dog is there opinion & choice does not mean those who hang on to the pups till 12 weeks are any better because most bitches have had enough at a certain age & anything after 8 weeks then requires a breeder who is very mindful off socializing well ,exposing it to outside world & going the extra yards for the next 4 weeks to ensure the pup has meet the crucial aspects of that life stage not just sat in the backyard till 12 weeks just because . We place out at 8 sometimes 10 weeks ,factors can vary from the weather ,the actual litter ,how involved the mum is being & the actual homes . Some pups run on to 12 weeks can be harder to adjust if the breeder hasnt given skills to learn .At 5 weeks we start lead training ,6 weeks first full grooming session with clippers .others hang on till 10 weeks & do nothing ,its not a black n white scenario Dogs QLD are very behind in litter regos & in our scenario im listed for 3 breeds on Dol,only breed one . I actually red no red flags form the vague info your given to make any judgement . Personally if this breeder is legit in what ever fashion i would be pissed if you didnt contact me to return or rehome so ethics go both ways in your question which as a dogsNSW member would be something you tell anyone is to first off contact the breeder for help & base you plans from there You have chosen not to

First obvious thing video her during this behaviour . bug zappers are notorious sending dogs silly ,fire alarms especially if batteries going ,anything that pings but agree sounds like something is setting her off.

Those attacks can be very sudden but I agree with Snook I wouldn’t be given meds without truly weighing up the pros and cons

You are wrong

Can you clarify this comment by which other ANKC branches

First off Mollie would have to pass the fight to fly aspect . She will need to meet the export requirements . This may not happen . Then there is a risk with an elderly dog . Export flying is not like a domestic flight or a drive in the car a few hrs down the road . So I would contact agents in NZ to get a feel of what requirements are for very elderly dogs that aren’t already listed on thee Aqus site. Is she crate trained.?? Would she happily cope for maybe 6/7 hrs crated .

America sell them for big dogs BUT the position they need to get into for a backpack may not be pleasant fir a severe arthritic dog . Would be maybe better looking at a emergency sling like they use for Dolphins etc.

Maybe try this place . https://www.wookiedogs.com/run-free

You could hire the private dog run at Morley vets .

I did agility with one show Greyhound and the other happily recalled 100% even if cats around . I believe any dog can learn on the job and respectful daily life requirements you just train them

visit the toy poodle club of Victoria website or poodle club of Victoria or nsw website as they will have what testing is a must ,what too look out for etc

Your vet can arrange it but the finer details and choices still need your input . Years ago you got no choices just here’s your pet ,now the options are many so not something the vet can just do . If you have it arranged you can inform the vet staff that when it happens can they just call to arrange pick up but it’s still easier for them to have some info . I wouldn’t use the one most vets suggest here in a pink fit so it’s my job to arrange it . Also whilst the vet will work with you they can’t hold the pet forever ,simp,y reality they don’t want animals laying in bags and no freezer big enough so the vets get on to it ASAP if you don’t offer a option . The people we use deliver the ashes back to us personally and pick up from home if the dog passes here

Has his thyroid levels been tested

Selsum blue . We avoid anything oatmeal even worse is vets suggest it on yeast dogs
