we never had issues with our female greys together The only thing that i would be concerned with is at 12 yrs moving house will be a massive change for the old girl & she may be become overwhelmed with finding her new spots plus adding a new dog to the equation. I personally would be allowing the old girl more time to adjust to the move & settling first

Names have always been able to be changed provided done by a set age & the dog hasn't been shown at a show & that there is good reason for the change.

Why Is It Some Shows Seem To Dicourage Interstate Exhibitors
Dogsfevr replied to Jsk's topic in General Dog Discussion
Be grateful you can camp at the grounds ,not every state has that privilege & people forget they often have it lucky. -
I suggest you get out and meet some of these breeds, dog shows are a great venue although there aren't many Vizslas showing in WA. My short list some 13 years ago was very similar! I crossed Ridgebacks off pretty quick because they are bigger, less active and not as easy to train (although very trainable!). Being a Hound they are more aloof with strangers. FOr what I was interested in I decided the Utility Gundog breeds were more suitable. The Gundogs you've listed are all high energy and would love that 2 hours exercise each day, but don't expect them to sit on the couch with you if they don't get it! We rarely get 1 Vizsla shown, we have a wirehaired Vizsla shown more often. Keep in mind i don't believe we have any breeders of Vizsla's in WA so you would have to go east. If the GSP are to your liking consider the wire haired GSP aswell ,we do have a breeder in WA of those who also breeds GSP.

Head to a dog show although the WA show season is coming to an end so only a few shows left this year

There was 165 GSDs entered so about 6 hrs to judge them???
-
Not when they have a specialty show I thought yesterdays was a seperate specialty but todays was under the Spring Fair show banner and that they should have waited for the GSDs? What time did GSD judging start ?? What time did the whole show finish ?? Why did the GSD judging take so long if it wasn't a speciality show but part of the All Breeds show?

There are a number of things that are annoying but will always happen but as already mentioned people not taking adequate shade down for there dogs & then trying to pinch yours or setting there dogs so close to your gear it isn't funny . I make the effort to take to buy what i need & take it down & it isn't there for free use by those who make no effort at all. * Those people who are always unorganized & think the whole show should wait for them,at one show an exhibitor felt the show should be delayed because there where scratchings & there breed is normally on at "said" time but was on earlier & it wasn't fair as they where rushed

I fly large dogs yearly . You will be looking (if Rotti) size about $175 give or take each way plus crate hire if required. Virgin only take vari or solid wire crates no fold ups & fly every day. Qantas take fold up wire crates but have restricted times on weekends that they take dogs

Ooooh, what concerts?? I want to go to Canada or the US and see one of my fave bands ;) And I'd love to go to Croatia, looks beautiful! I want to do the Mediterranean cruise that goes there, sounds devine!! I've spent like 2 days in England and didn't really get to even sightsee (my host was lousy, slept in til lunch time, what a cow!!!!) and LA/San Fran. Looooooooove San Fran :p I'd so love to visit somewhere in Canada (Vancouver perhaps) and also New York (and loads of other places!) Eurovision ??

The new ones are far better than the old ones. They fit per wall where the old ones don't. The zip together,better protection from rain & the sun. We had 2 oz trails at one show joined together with 7 walls up & zipped

Ulster Kennels was owned by Dan Oconnor & now his daughter runs the place (if still the case). Dan runs the Albany dog club & they use to breed/show Italian Greyhounds . Drive past the place each show

We have had a small percentage of dogs whose peeing habits have altered after an anesthetic & it has happened a week or so latter & then resolved it self -

Dogsfevr replied to Quazaa's topic in General Dog Discussion

What do you actually feed including treats?? As the dog has fleas this is an area you need to get on top off as being bitten by fleas is like having "chicken pox" & will cause all sorts of added issues .

I was asked if i could post this so if anyone is interested please contact the details given ; Most of you will have heard of the intestinal parasite Giardia – but did you know it is now the most common gut parasite of dogs and one we know very little about. Yes, Giardia can cause diarrhoea but rarely – more likely are its subtle effects on performance and growth particularly in puppies since they are most commonly infected. Dogs respond differently to Giardia infection and researchers at Murdoch Vet School are trying to find out why. All they need are ‘poo’ samples! To get involved contact Andy Thompson at: [email protected]

When Can I Start Jogging With My Dog?
Dogsfevr replied to SalTheGal's topic in General Dog Discussion
Yep to above & totally agree about the conditioning to many people forgot the dog also needs to build up to distance & a pace even if slow a jog is very different to a walk. -
Showdog, what is Noni juice?? It is a human product that cancer people use,vile stuff the smell alone was enough to make me barf BUT my boy couldn't eat & the health aspect of this stuff is amazing .He wasn't on it long but it worked well for him BUT my boy was never like yours. We also used a caffeine product from the US that is no longer available in aust.As he was unable to walk we had to do regular physio to ensure the phlegm didn,t build up .we also had to make him walk because i do believe without making him feel loved that he would have given up.Our vet sad over & over again if it wasn't for our commitment he would have died.He slepted with me anyway but i did hourly wake ups through the night to do physio & get him to walk about .The first 72 hrs felt like a week. he was obviously on fluids within reason & food supplements BUT it was keeping him alert that was the key in my boy's case. As for time i was realistic & set 2 week goals ,when he reached each 2 week we where a tad more confident HE DID have alot of relapses & often severe . I found he recovered quickly from the pneumonia in that sense but he lost alot of weight & muscle condition during recovery & that was the hardest aspect to work with but not the end of the world & in many ways with your boy being young it would be easier than at full adult weight.
