Sorry but this is so not true & i do wish people would not make such claims when they have no idea about the breed

should mention Greyhounds don't do jogging like many other breeds

I wouldn't be concerned about small because big dogs have there own pitfalls . I own both big & small .(7 kg up to 42 kg) i would suggest heading off to a dog show & seeing the breeds

Sighthound doesn't equate to cat chaser. Any breed of dog can be a cat chaser more so than sightnounds. Sighthounds don't chase anything that moves . i now many sighhound breeders who also have cats & no issue

What breed do the other family members want?? What breed do your children like & what do they want from a dog ??Big/small/cuddly after all they will be sharing there backyard with the dog as well. Do you want lots of dog hair around or minimal. Would all family membners plus big dog fit into the car you have??(many end up with a dog that can't fit in the car with humans so it stays home) What is the main temp you want gentle /out there/easy going/laid back/never switched off??

Considering how many people openly bad mouth some dogs & then try & buy from that breeding via the back door i have no issues with it . As far as naming well that would be a no deal unless the dog had something very special to offer that meant a bright future in our programme . All our pups are sold on spay contract & would have no issues with early desexing & for many breeds these days it is the safest option to ensure there future . We have certainly weeded out some owners who i have no doubt where agents buying for puppy farms/export

You say your not interested in opinions from kennel owners . I am an owner & i will give my opinion because it is important Inspection by appointment if for the benefit of the dogs & there safety not to suit owners. The dogs in boarding are left in our care & owners expect every reasonable means to be taken to ensure that there dog isn't placed in undue stress & placed at higher rixk for something to happen. Many breeds are predisposed to gastric torsion(bloat) ,many factors can enhance the risk & a good kennel will do anything to lower it. Many dogs in boarding suffer from heart conditions,epilepsy,diabetes,elderly,frail.,cancer etc etc Kennels don't just board perfect dogs they board dogs with varying issues,needs & requirements. In summer we stick to our visiting times no matter what. Today for example we had 40 degrees & once the dogs where brought in from outside they where in strict "quiet time" until it cooled down for outside let out again. We would never under any circumstances have people visiting in that heat & disturb the dogs & would presume any responsible owner would applaud any kennel that considered the dogs needs far more important. Once the dogs are feed it is also quiet time & we feed when we are shut so dogs at high risk of bloat aren't over stimulated after eating & those dogs with any medical issue /prep are also done in quiet time As far as hiding anything you can't hide a filthy place Plus many kennels have to follow council regs on dog noise & have to have set times to meet there license but above all it is for the dogs best interest . I guess you need to ask yourself what type of care you expect when your dog is in boarding

Yes Americans can come in Roan colours & you wouldn't find on in Australia. In Australia we do have some of the Sable colouring although again not many

My laptop plays them perfectly so i connect it to the TV & watch in big screen.Some breeds only finished today & BIS was only done not long ago

Over 30 of the stafford litters listed on DOL are blues & with a quick glance prices for these colours range from $800 to $3000. Not very rare

We have breeders asking $2500 for a set colour. We groom many of these pups & to be frank the people have been ripped off. If people wish to ask more for a set colour then i would expect that breeding to produce the correct colour & not one that fads with age as the breeding is a mix match of colours. We don't charge more for sex or colour

Make sure it is a tall & strong puppy pen as Std Schnauzers are amazing jumpers even as pups.

The Albany entry is around 220

If it diabetes & not gotten on top off they can go blind very quickly. If its pyo & not treated you may end up with a spayed bitch . I would sooner do the vet & any testing they may think important & have a head start on results than wait longer. She may simply have a mild infection but if your planning to breed her then you need to address any issues . We have never had a bitch do this .

I wouldn't be doing any big KM until the dog has actually been brought up to a fitness level to be able to do it You then need to consider how fast you go the terrain you are doing regarding the dogs feet etc etc. How often you plan to stop,weather The dog will need to be conditioned to last no different than us humans .

Thats quite the norm here ,really is scary . Looks like a mini Bouvier

average price we see with client cards around $100 heartguard approx $ 150 plus consult of approx $ 50/6o

Does your property have a name ?? Street name/suburb,many have used those.

But we now that will never happen in any part of life.

I find it odd you say learning shouldn't be about the breeds??So as a teacher what do you actually teach them then??

We had 1 boarder due to leave tonight but they live on Brooktyn h 'way when we found them they where in tears so not sure what they situation is as they where away We have just over 10 dogs so far due to the fires maybe more latter.

There is a fire now in kelmscott/Roleystone. Brooktyn H'way & Old Coach Place is the area No where near us but the smoke is awful so all the dogs & boarders are in lock down here

There actually quite a few dog people who have evacuated so hopefully all have something to return home too . An awful day for a fire

It makes me cry too. Single eye brows, skirts like Westies gone wrong, no blending, beards gone or beards that cover most of the face. I'm always wanting to learn more and improve how I do them. I make the most of the local breeders and exhibitors and what they can teach. I speak on a regular basis with another groomer ( different location ) who is seeing them come through her doors, having been groomed in a similar way to what I see. TAFE is the common link there. Here its more like Scotties gone wrong,then add owl eyes & the bridge of the nose trimmed off The beard is the slowest growing part of a Schnauzer & it takes year to regrow . Although for me there is no real excuse for bad trimming with so many good books & internet options out there plus of course the groomer simply being honest & saying i don't now how to groom them then butcher them but these same people simply don't have an eye for how they should turn out nor seem to question there tafe teachers as to way they groom them to look like that when all the books/breeders don't. As a breeder of schnauzers we redo alot of botched jobs & the owners just don't understand how many years it will take to fix. The other issue i see is owners who say what they want but that isn't what they want. We always question the owners & some get shitty with us when we do it BUT in the end the people realize what they are asking for isn't what they want . Many will drop off & say short all over /i want it all off & if not questioned that is what you would get & this is what many do get but blame the previous groomer for the hair cut because they have asked us to do the same but we queried it
