This is done regularly .There is a group that is very proactive. There is also the the pre Westminster dog show nights where some of the competing dogs go & do what they are breed for & do a fabulous job with a quick kill & some of the Rats caught are massive

Your dog may be very well behaved for the groomer . That is based on confidence,grooming table and getting on with the job . But your groomer if you ask should happily show you how to brush correctly and the tools to use . Even if trimmed short they still knot . Most oodles /doodles have an open topcoat but felt underneath ,that is where your tools assist why brushing to the skin is soo important. Too be honest buying a budget dryer would also be your best friend , these coats matt especially after baths . Tne dryer blows to the skin and can actually help blow knots out when line brushing plus separating the coat out before it tightens up again,we brush a lot of knots out with the dryer .

Very normal for any dog off any age to vomit a food that there not use to . Liver doesn’t suit all dogs but I find the dehydrated ones the worse for dogs to stomach . Over excited dog,pulling can all add to a vomit.. You don’t need to use treats all the time

First off you need to start teaching the grooming manners 7 months your pup should know the difference between a game & a being brushed ,it shouldnt be a two people job & you need to make sure your rewarding the right behaviour . Most people feed treats rewarding the wrong behaviour & just want to bribe or get the dog to stand still with food without teaching it "grooming skills". This is your next 15 yrs & as a groomer i deal with nightmare dogs weekly who have not had owners step up & be pro active.Coated breeds especially crosses with these coat textures need owners to be brush happy . Brushing knots out is painful & teaches the dog to either hate being brushed,to start biting/mouthing You need to brush on a neutral space,like the washing machine with a non slip matt.Ask your groomer to show how to brush the dog correctly as they are the ones most likely brushing the knots out Your brush is useless,pin brushes are great for there job,bristle is a finishing brush on a drop coat ,get your groomer to show you the right tools but you need a good soft slicker & above all a comb ,what your using is will never brush your dog out . You need to line brush out . I will say as a groomer 99% of owners with this combo end up clipping short or having no choice as they simply don't brush enough & not correctly . Curly/wavy doesnt factor its all about brushing often & brushing to the skin . Washing/rinsing an already matted coat makes it worse ,most are often clipped off like a sheep in one piece . So you need to decide your options . Keep coat short & simple Ask your groomer how to brush the dog correctly & what tools Get into a strict grooming routine especially with manners (this applies even with a shorter coat your pup wont get better for you until you start being the teacher & setting the rules .Manners training can be done daily by placing pup on table & just doing "touch time" patting,feet checking ,standing .Silly behaviour is not rewarded ,grooming is about calm /together time but with a job

It will be hard to answer your question because each dogs road to recovery can be so varied & whether additional drugs are required to assist & in the early stages its all about getting on the road to recovery & lowering the dose. Your vet is the person you need to ask as they are treating your dog & at what stage . The main obvious issue is the potential side effects of prednil which your vet will cover anyway

Depends on many factors. I have plenty of friends who ask for nothing as there helping there friend go forward(obviously vet bills etc are there cost ). A pup in return goes pear shape when one pup so a contract outlining what happens is a must & know of more issues with this not going to plan ,will the bitch owner then re lease the bitch to make a litter ??What agreement is made by both parties if 1 pup ??

No ,there are better options . What circumstances did the guarding happen

If your on FB there is a Qld dog shows page . Otherwise contact DogsQld and ask if there running handling classes or puppy days . Stacking is actually easy providing your getting the steps right and puppies even large breed I only stack on a table for training at this age . Also check if a judging ramp is used in your state

Actually don’t think the breeder is a liar. It sounds like without all of us knowing the facts the breeder has been good maybe not the outcome you expected but in the scheme of things good. Was $3500 including air freight or did you pay extra . No site guarantees a breeder and even the best of breeders have sad moments. Just like parents who have a child with issues Yes puppies die at birth ,that was the litter most likely set aside for you ,breeder had no pup/s but refunded you the money .Just because there are other puppies doesn’t equate to you getting one. The breeder could have said right I will replace the pup but not expecting another litter for a year especially that colour so felt the refund was the best solution . We many years ago lost 6 puppies due to a bad vaccination batch at 6 weeks ,6 homes heart broken including ourselves . Did you get an autopsy done .? Has you vet supplied you with a written report? Your pup would have needed a fit to fly vet check in the 2 weeks prior to leaving . Lesson here is breeders should take out the free pet insurance on pups leaving . Owners should take out pet insurance as well . This is a great lesson for kids ,Mother Nature can be cruel to the breeder and owners ,owning pets is heartbreaking and heartwarming. No need to make anything more of it to your child than things in life don’t always work out ,you move on and find another breeder . Maybe the breeder is embarrassed ,maybe you sent messages they felt was no longer a working relationship and it was best to refund Either way it’s time to move on .

And breed makes no difference ,I now plenty of Basenjis who don’t tick your boxes . You are simply a dog owner who needs to know the temp fencing going up is suitable to contain your dogs for the time frame given as that’s a council requirement. Most temp fencing will sit in the plastic holders that won’t be dog safe by that standard . i agree go speak to the neighbour about your issues . What time frame have they given for the job ,does it cover weekend with no work done . When doing the job on the day is the fence coming down..?? Theres are the things I’d be asking and if you need to day board your dogs as it’s a safer option will they pay ..

Some teething pups get tonsillitis so a vet visit is your safest option .

I would be engaging with the breeder ,they will be your biggest help long term on any issues you may face . The breeder was most likely taken back to receive a call about this dog and the rehome . Whilst the dog is yours the previous owner may have signed a contract . The breeder can flag the microchip and you would need to prove ownership so in all honesty working with the breeder is your best tool . If you don’t want too phone them email that you realise your call would have been a shock but moving forward xyz is loved etc etc and we would love your support and help going forward . As to your question if lost lost yes the current person listed on the chip is the person they will call. Some vets are refusing to treat animals whose chip details don’t match there client .

As a breeder we buy the pup back ,reassess & rehome at any age .

Most Breeders don’t have websites or pages ,if relying solely on those you may miss out on good breeders . The breed page isn’t where breeders hang out or post . The breeders listed on Dol and the Goldie club are a great start Are you after cream,Darker colour .?

rarely can you "just buy a pup ". Find the breeders that interest you ,contact them,ask questions & if they feel like a good fit put your name down & wait . This year has seen every Tom,Dick & Harry want a dog ,its been an unprecedented time with inquiries & breeders need to go through those inquiries to find out who are time wasters & who a seriously looking for a pup . When i say time wasters i mean they havent decided they want the breed or done any research into the breed . In our breed since March we have had near 300 inquiries & we are struggling to reply to the various emails especially with questions asked that they could have easily already found at that info with research ,For our breed that question is does it need brushing or grooming .It is a frustrating thing to have to reply to when the breed is a coated breed. So find your breeder ,make serious contact & wait . Contact the Golden Retriever club if you have any info you need clarified .there are plenty of good breeders in Qld but going through websites waitig for puppies to appear will get you no where ,you need to make personal contact

I would never give my dog antlers there too hard & cause teeth breakage young & old . You need to select correct weight bearing bones for the dogs age & ability & most importantly teeth quality through the ages , Antlers also dont allow for chewing more scraping . The point of bones is either part of diet content or for teeth cleaning ,bones dont stop a chewer,rock eating . I would suggest asking your pups breeder what they use & why . Also be mindful of all the added flavours there not natural . You have a breed that can have skin issues so being mindful off all the added stuff is important

First lesson at 4 months there never 99% house trained there well versed in owners taking them out ,its very important to teach pup at the same time how to alert you if it has no access outside on its own if it does have access you need to keep on top of the self independent journey off going outside . Most owners at that age either carry pup outside on a schedule to toilet or make pup follow . So what is your pups routine ??

Actually the Blacks are more loving & calmer can be more sooky . Black n Silvers are vocal can be fiesty generally more not typical Mini (The other colours if derived from a B/S pedigree can be more toey like a B/S Salt/ peppers same as Blacks Whites different again . Biggest issue with most owners today & we see it in the dogs we groom which is alot of Minis is the furbaby mentality & simply not treating them like dogs . A Mini should be a very smart all round dog that succeeds highly in obedience trials & agility ,make amazing theraphy dogs but they are dogs a very functional working breed that is sharp as a tack when there meant to be ratters

Most its the other way around Stds can be rough & push kids over & have the complete opposite temperament to a Mini ,there not the same breed in 3 sizes . Minis arent small there a sturdy robust dog ,Stds are strong & can just plough through kids so all 3 sizes come with different owner requirements & parental supervision . I showed Stds for many many many years & they certainly arent for everyone ,there a working dog & need owners prepared to work the dog & there brain to be a great dog . There also very loyal to there owners sometimes that can be taken too far even with play fighting amongst there humans

You can buy a new pair for $199 free postage some other places cheaper

At the end of the day the name has to be important to you & thats all that matters ,we just personally dont use things that for us imply perfection or one looks at the catalogue & says it doesnt really match its name . That choice has meaning to you and you must be happy with choices 1 & 2

Names we tend to go with are names that don’t imply something or comes back to bite .Hotashell mirror of the Heir Hotashell Royal Reflection (without his ) Hotashell Quilton on T Throne .

Both breeds always have a waiting period not just because of covid the only difference Covid has had for us is since March we have had near 300 puppy inquiries .Unprecedented compared to the near 30 years of breeding . Hardest part is weeding through the legit V the novelty/havent really thought about the life time commitment aspect . The wait for the right breeder & pup is worth it & gives you plenty of time to set up & also teach your little one with a plush doggy how to pat nicely or read through the kids safe dog programme You can do many things to assist your little one to not be fearful of a puppy that is going to jump,nip,snatch .Puppies will be puppies but many toddlers can be fearful of there excitement which can over stimulate a pup or make the pup not want to be with them .

Nope no matter what the breed its parental supervision & realistic expectations & ensuring the pup/dog has a safe area set up for its own time out from a toddler is what makes the final outcome . The most bomb proof pup can end up fearful & an issue if the humans arent paying attention to warning signs & its tolerance level. As they say the dog is only as good as the owners
