I have been asked by friends to seek accommodation close to the Royal Show grounds that accept dogs in car/float. Ideally more suited for long coats but not really important

Rimayl l is like any drug it can be good & bad & used with caution. Although i was off the belief that rimadyl & Labradors is known for issues Of particular noteworthiness to owners of Labrador Retrievers are the reports of hepatic (liver) toxicity occurring with greater frequency in Labs than in any other breed. This increase in occurrence may simply be due to the fact that as a breed, the Labrador Retriever ranks most prevalent among dogs. Additionally, hip dysplasia and other bone disorders occur with high frequency within the breed making them likely candidates for Rimadyl treatment. In the absence of knowing the total number of Labs taking Rimadyl and only having information pertaining to the number of Labs with toxic reactions, it is impossible to conclude if the breed does, indeed, run a higher risk for Rimadyl complications compared to any other breed. Alternatively, however, the fact that the breed is represented prevalently in the group which experienced hepatic complications and less frequently in other groups including those which experienced renal (kidney) toxicity, neurologic disorders, etc. suggests that the breed may, indeed, have less hepatic tolerance for the drug. Because it is currently unknown what factors may contribute to predispose certain Labradors to hepatic toxicity, it is recommended that Labradors administered Rimadyl be carefully observed for early signs of drug intolerance.

There is a setter forum .also contact the Gordon Setter club as they do rescue. Is the breeder not able to help ?? They could list the dog on the breed pages for mature dogs looking for a home

So we gonna see Jake in a fluro suit handling Atty :D ;) :D There is something a little scary about seeing the dog show wiggles although reality is gives you something to smile about

Very hard,if you don,t book soon the next option is camping or staying out of Geraldton.There aren,t many places there that will allow dogs.

It is nation wide. 17. A member shall not, within Australia, sell or otherwise transfer from that member’s care any puppy under eight [8] weeks of age without the approval of the member’s Member Body. The reason given certainly isn't good enough
-
This is against our state bode is Code of Ethics,if the breeder gets caught they can be charged & fined. I would suggest you either say nothing or appreciate the breeder is bound by there COE to not place before 8 weeks
-
The for sale section often has outfits listed
-
The socks i don,t think will work long term & you will need to teach the dog to walk in those. I would be getting non slip matting for each step & whilst yes a pain it will be less of a fuss than adding the socksinto the equation

Yes, at first we were going to look for an Amstaff, but there are no breeders or pups at all! Looks like it will be a staffy You won't find any - Amstaffs don't officially exist in the UK and the general consensus amongst officials is that they would be classified as "pit bull type" if found. You can NOT import them. You will have no problem finding a Staffordshire Bull Terrier in the UK - there are approximately 25,000 of them registered every year :D, to say nothing of the thousands in rescue every year. Try www.staffords.co.uk for a start, hope Troy doesn't bite me for that one! Staffords where originally on the breed ban list but i gather they have fought hard thank god or it maybe certain area,s

I now in 2007 the Dublin breed ban came in & not sure it is still exists or where its at at present,you may want to check this out as well

I now a number of people who had wry mouths & not one corrected. Out of 3 breeders who had issues they all had different bitch lines but used the same male .

puppy would cope but it depends how much you wish to spend on the 1 pup getting it there.You also need to to check but with Ireland if you want the pet passport option testing & paperwork needs to be started 9 months prior otherwise its quarantine. What breed are they after someone may be able to help you
-
How many hrs a day would she spend in the laundry?? Will she always be a house dog or are you wanting outside mainly??? How much outside time does she get each day??
-
Actually when you look at all the posts by the OP there complaints
-
When you decide to breed you take on the issues that go with it plain & simple. WE as breeders decide what we think is worthy of being breed from & take on the role of testing ,researching & asking questions fully aware of the issue's that are in the breed . Breeders can either be very smart or there own worse enemy . As for importing again that is a risk you take,our $8000 import is traveling Australia in a pet home.
-
Your dog has you well figured out. feeding patterns are set by you not the dog. Here they don't even get 20 mins ,if they don't want it in 5 mins it is removed & given again for the next feed. Are you feeding what the breeder suggested or have you changed the diet??

hard when there bed eaters,thankfully mine loves his creature comforts. You can only do so much when the dog doesn't co operate but the main thing would be avoiding sleeping on cold floors as much as possible. I also have a heat bag for human backs that i use if he is having a bad day . I guess i am lucky that my dogs issues didn't appear till 7/8 yrs & we believe it is due to an injury . My boy is 10 this year,40kg,still runs the property,,plays,gets short walks etc etc. His last X rays the vets can't figure out how he is walking as it is so bad but he does ,this is where i truly believe bowen has made the biggest difference because keeping the front healthy is so important . Yes he sometimes struggles to get up but there is alot of dog BUT he is living a very happy,functional life & doesnt miss out on anything.He lives like its a normal day . Yes sometimes he over does it but he has also learnt when to give himself time out but i figure each day is a bonus & he can enjoy .he loves his lounge chair so his mattress is placed there so he can sleep on that or it is a step to the chair to make it easier. He does live with other dogs so he is kept very active Agree with RML on coats,my boys has coats for the varying weather,he has a light weight for when its warm but with a breeze/summer air con up to his big fleecy rugs, iwill double rug early am/pm.
-
Yes . Keep the dog lean. Keep them as fit as possible & make sure they move around especially winter Pick a bed that is comfy but flat(we used a top range mattress as trampoline style beds make them worse. I use bowen monthly I always ensure the dog has it's coat on when cold ,this can even apply in summer with air cons. We do use the pentasan(SP) injections . I also use natural & have found the rose hip tablets to work very well but aren't cheap but again it is case by case. My dog has coped very well
-
does he want to spend money on grooming?? Both the westie & mini will need clipping every 6/8 weeks so he will have to fit that into his schedule & consider those needs for any family member wishing to house sit. If the grey size is a concern then consider the Whippet.. The other factor is the chances of getting some of those breeds as an adult in a month will be slim.

Behaviour Problem - Fighting Of An Evening...
Dogsfevr replied to RedStafford's topic in General Dog Discussion
Indy has you well trained,her reward for the behaviour is to be picked up by you,the crucial time to discipline is lost in the fact she got the human & won. You need to outsmart her habit which is wanting you,if she growls she gets picked up ,like already mentioned no couch if she can't share -
Gsd Vomitting - Watery And Frothy ...
Dogsfevr replied to Tilly's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
some GSD can have a digestive issue & not absorb food correctly. If this is the case the dog wont put on weight unless treatment is sort & products used to assist. I have owned a dog with such issues but had it addressed at 11 months & the dog blossomed -
In the US & UK if there's a "conflict", they will get the dog to do a lap of honour and then excuse it from the ring, with an announcement made so people know whats happening. Is that done here?? Would be the perfect solution in my opinion. never seen that happen here. The GSD shows seem to have this happen alot
