The quarantine station was sold a few years back by a group who own Cohuna park i believe. It is currently being run on a lease basis & could close leaving only Mel & Sydney but because it has been so full especially with the South African dogs it is still operating. The kennel set up it self isnt that bad except by choice the runs outside being covered would be way more logical. When our dog did 63 days she came from winter to 40 degrees here so we took our own shade cloth up & covered her run. The kennels do have a sleeping area in a nook BUT with no roof on the outside area then does come in easily BUT many boarding kennels are far worse than quarantine You are actually lucky now in that you can use the hydrobath & dryers. The first few dogs i had to bath up there was on the floor with an old rubber attachment on the tape,the table was a giant wooden table & a hand dryer . They certainly didn't scrap the runs when our dog was in,at that stage long termers could be visited in the morning plus the pm slot daily & we would go up & scrap our dogs run ourselves. They also didn't own a pooper scooper & used a small coal style shovel to pick up & a bag The last dog i visited up there we groomed etc etc & you got very creative in the time frame & many hands made it easier . There was talk of quarantine going private but who knows. Quarantine isn't about home environment as it needs to be cleaned etc etc & the set up is just like a kennel the only difference is being let out daily although the outside runs leave alot to be desired especially if you have a coated dog. Yes you could whinge but it isnt that bad & at present i would sooner be able to visit my dog here than in the east

The dog shop sells them ,there not cheap for a staffy size & as already said the bigger they are the more room they take & are a pain in the bum to separate every time they go in the car. I have vari,wire & soft crate but i just use a fold up trolley from Big W to cart them around ,so easy . The larger vari style crates are just as awkward to carry,they may be lighter BUT there not an easy object to carry about. I only use the vari for flying,i find they have less room at the bottom & unless you have good bedding many have the bumps at the bottom which aren't comfy to sleep on. They certainly can get hotter & not all dogs like to be in them

i presume a Lab??

They actually fail to tell the whole story behind this petition so be careful what you sign & support.Another shonky way of the RSPCA.

I can guarantee you some of the Dobes where shown on chains. Many obedience clubs have them banned & thats a whole different story. Many chains though these days are so discreet you wouldnt tell straight away.many use snake chains or the fine chain especially the ones in black. Para chord leads are very popular & are the exact same as chains except cord. I show one on a chain & one on a leather chain style lead

Im sure it applies to all states but many WA breeders have been receiving similiar style emails of varying 'WEIRDNESS" We have received quite a few in chinese translation or no address known.

Slow feeder bowls or just add tennis balls. Do you stand by & watch him eat or walk away?? You could also raise the food bowl so he has to reach up instead of chasing the bowl.we find this works well for piggy eaters. I wouldn't add anything to the food . What are you feeding?? Has he always throwm up or is something new??

Given you have paid money i would expect more contact & more info regarding where you stand If you hadn.t paid any money & your name was on a list then contact would be whensomething suitable arrives. We never do deposits. What does you receipt say regarding your deposit?? How many other people have also paid a deposit?? It could be a case of too many deposits & not enough pups but either way you deserve an up date on something you have paid for

Mulch is a classic source of skin issues .The spores it self can cause all sorts of nasties. Not heard of parvo but seen plenty of dogs who have had skin issues with mulch around,this also applied to humans with asthma/allergy issues again due to the spores

We have from Belguim & used an agent over there.I can't remember the name though but we got our contacts via the GSD people

Yep all dogs are called irrespective,if you don't answer your call you will be scratched.They have to call unless handed the exhibit card prior to judging starting

If your really worried you can add a dash of milk. My showdogs can be funny at shows so i will add some milk

Anyone who phones here selling raffle tickets is told to send the info sheet out where we will fill in our details & return. Very easy to weed out the legit & non legit tjis way.Many never send there stuff out

I think you need to understand one thing,Minis are people dogs,they like attention BUT its up to you to train when its appropriate & when it isn't. We have 15 minis & all seek attention in varying levels some more so than others,we are home all day & have a property. The breed loves to people please ,they love there human time but there is a time & place for every thing & they are taught independence & ability to enjoy there time without us. This sounds like a game that you have created & accepted.If you are chasing then you have set the rules of it being acceptable. It is obviously happening often for it to be an issue so you need to address the items being taken & place them away & not make it into a game. Dogs are like toddler,s they dont now what is right or wrong they just understand the reward/response,your response chase & that is the reward.Its fun . Then you need to address your leadership skills & respect. Our dogs are very precious to us & enjoy all aspects of being house dogs BUT they are dogs,ours never do what yours are doing . If you read some of your recent topics it seems either you misunderstanding what your dog wants or this dog is ruling the house & your not setting any boundaries,either way i wouldn't bring another pup into the equation until you have sorted out the issues that you are having now

The oldfield cylinder dryer or the ezy coat would be ideal . Table wise it depends how tall you want. I have all sizes but like my giant liberty table which is low & long but easy for the big dogs o get up & down. The dryers will also be good on the greyhounds ,all our show greys where blow dried. As to where to buy Oldfield is a QLD company so that shall be easy http://www.oldfielddryers.com.au/ The table hopefully some one in QLD can tell you what vendors are about who may attend shows
