  1. Does she get free access outside or is it always the door is shut & she is either let out/in?? As he gets older what is the routine plan you are working towards(outside only,outside.inside etc etc) because the odd walk so far all pup gets what is the pups routine for play/interaction/independence at home??
  2. yes,that would be fine BUT remember those who have setup already will do so for the 3 days in the gundog ring,If you can get there at 3pm i would highly suggest you do if you want a front row or close to for viewing or get some one to save a spot
  3. yep & thats what my pom friends use ,although trimming results will also rely on the coat quality being correct
  4. WA has good dog laws & we are very lucky to have the kennel zones but we even still get a small few who live in these areas that complain to councils They dont want the laws but will happily complain about trivial things & then wonder why laws exist ;)
  5. I have had dogs in season at 4 months
  6. all our retirees are spayed without a second thought,pyo is one factor but the main one is not haing extra bitches coming in heat for no reason & the bleeding.Ours are house pets so bitches in heat area pain at the best of times
  7. Owners can visit on the designated days,any additional people have to be listed so saying groomer would make no difference
  8. As far as im aware home stays are no longer allowed its quaratine there too
  9. canada would be the same as the US ,30 days is only providing the correct tests are done. Uk may be easier but depending on the breed waiting till 9 months may also work out cheaper in the long run We brought a dog out at 9 months & no issues at all
  10. You wanted an answerr fine but breeders cant just pull answers out of a hat. The breeder did the right thing to inform you something wasnt right,hounding them for answers is just as bad as not getting one. One cant give a proper answer until they now what the issue is. Now they have an answer they have informed you,your child may have been excited & disappointed but it isnt all about him. The breeder has been very responsable in what they have done & you should be very grateful
  11. im not sure about your local council but ours wants us to contact them if european wasps are about & they will come out
  12. Selecting the right mate will take time. We have alwasys been fortunate to be a very multi dog household so any who pass away have friends already established. I would suggest making the most of this time to allow your dog to settle & if you happen to find a suitable dog that will be the prefect match then it was meant to be otherwise its going to be a case of how long it takes to find the right match. meanwhile dont pander or spoil,be confidient & instill positive actions for the future no matter how hard it is. Like us we will grieve but life goes on so keep everything normal except maybe doing more activities in the outside world more than the past 16 years is an amazing age & you will have many wonderful memories & as much as it hurts there never really gone bacuase you will always have good giggle at the things it did whether they be good,bad,drove you crazy.
  13. it just needs its final jab being late is no biggie & can happen. Agree just contact the CCCQ
  14. Atleast we also get the gundog specialities
  15. springers can be very vocal & do love there humans. I agree with poodlefan . he is only a baby & whilst you need to set a routine you also need to instill confidience so your pup settles with age,not get worse with age
  16. Been to Crufts & personally would never go again. There are better shows in the UK which for dog people are more user friendly to see the dogs.It is very hard to watch judging there. Westminster being limited entry also means you dont get to see the great dogs but like Crufts is a show that is about the atmosphere.
  17. I think the biggest mistake people make with there pups is not teaching them that another dog doesnt mean playing. Socializing is about teaching them that yes they can play on your terms or no they cant play. We see it with alot of dogs that attend puppy pre school,they learn to play but they dont learn that behaving around dogs is just as important, I agree with Kavik,find older dogs THAT have manners so your pup can learn to approach & behave calmly around other dogs. My big guys rarely play with other dogs & i have never had an aggression issues.They do now how to play but they also now the rules as they too are around 40 kg. My big guys must lie down for the little ones BUT i will not let mine play with stirrers or trouble makkers. So remember learning to ignore other dogs is just as important as playing. Dog aggression isnt just a product of no interaction,DA can also be a product of not playing with the right dogs & learning the boundries
  18. Yay to the Gordon "Carson" aka Ch BISS/BIS Firethorn & Sandpipers easy on the eyes. Your kids down under are very proud
  19. There were a few entered but all were absent with the exception of the two shown. There were 5 entered... with only the 2 shown - although bearing different prefixes they are litter brothers bred in the US. Many breeds only have a few entries - remembering the show has a limit of 2500 dogs. Remember the other Puli fanciers may have known the breed judge might have favoured the dog that won, so they didn't want to spend the large sums of $ to go to NYC to compete. Also, keeping a Puli's cords clean/dry in wet/snowy weather is a PITA, so that might have been a consideration as well. Plus many just couldnt fly in the garden specialities suffered with judges not arriving due to the snow
