When it comes to dogs and kids no breed is better a child off that age is alll about parental common sense and a child actually being ready for a dog . We breed one of your listed breeds and we will sell to homes with young kids but we have also said no to many more due to the adults presuming as the breed is good that’s all the effort they need . We can sell a well adjusted puppy but what you do after that makes or breaks how the pup will build a relationship with a toddler . Poodles can be more off a one person dog compared to Minis,Minis need more grooming than a Poodle .

You need to ring your state body of consumer law not the RSPCA . Was the puppy vaccinated when you got ..?? I think you will find you are entitled to something and would look at small claims court . Keep records and copies of all info and deal with emails only ,attached a reAd receipt. If need be send a letter registered mail

Maybe give us more info. Whilst you say the right fit is important does that mean short,long haired ,simple grooming expense grooming,what weight range would be better suited ?? Are you wanting another Staffy if so have you tried contacting the club as often they know of breeders wishing rehome home older dogs or dogs owners can no longer keep .

If you do rehome then you need to be very upfront regarding this dogs issues ,this dog at present is a liability & your responsibility to pick the safest path for the dog & any prospective owners .

Your consumer rights would be zilch . You would have to prove the dog had an issue from day 1 and I gather your vet never noted an issue at its second or potentially 3 vaccination. How many times has pup been to the vets since purchase to this diagnosis as it would have shown obvious signs ? Has the groomer made any comment about the knee clicking or different muscle tone ? ACL is generally injury based ,some breeds or individual dogs can be higher risk . Most do them running,leaping,twisting,chasing balls . jumping up n down the bed,car all things Breeders tell pet owners not to do . As to what option no one can say as each damage is specific to the outcome or better option

We pay irrespective . Some charge a service fee which often works well in the what if’s but the presumption it’s the males fault doesn’t cut it ,her dropping 3ggs is just as important. Obviously she could have reabsorded them so technically conceived.. The problem is most blame the dog for no pups . Was she prog tested?. But at the end of the day everything needs to be clearly written out about fee, reservice,what you consider a litter

Have you had his thyroid tested ??

Crates are more than just cages . If your dog needs to spend a day at the vet for surgery there crated,if your dog breaks a leg or does a cruciate or needs rest Crates are a great tool.. If you suddenly need to fly your dog there crated & above all if ever an emergency crates keep the dog safe . The crate is just like the 4 walls off the house but above all too a dog those 4 walls offer comfort . All my dogs are crate trained & why .There showdogs,they fly,they travel in the car in the crate ,we live in a high fire risk area so they can be crated safely if requiring evacuation or limiting where they are .When i travel to shows some motels require a dog to be crated in the room but above all they just luv there crate for quiet time jus like we will sit on our fav chair or spot . If work men or visitors come they can safely be housed away (visitors more based on the person being an issue ). This doesnt mean the crate has to be used every day off its life but a dog that can be happy in one makes its easier for them . Sighthounds love a community & for many there crate makes up for the lack off that . Keep in mind that sep room of 4 walls is a big lonely world for a pup in the dark ,everyone just vanishes . So your options are limited .You stick to the routine & take the good with the bad,as mentioned move pup into your room using its bed only or using a crate or just a puppy pen to make the area off space smaller & less overwhelming . The best way to answer is what is the long term sleeping plan though ??

You really need to seek the advice of a repro vet who can actually tell you what is in the collection not just colour .Is there any viable sperm,is it broken ,slow etc . As to checking that again can vary ,on a dog we tried to collect from last year we where told to wait 3 months before attempting to do so again due to sperm quality & this was with a repro vet that checked the sperm . Another dog who we used tablets on we had a sperm check done 8 weeks ago ,he was placed on tablets & checked last week.his sperm had improved greatly . He was used over 2 girls AI matings & the quality improved each insemination

Yes like any breed with erect ears you get the odd pup that end up floppy or semi erect . Some at a young age will tape or paddle pop the the ears to assist in the muscle memory to stand up but in the end there either up or down. Some can stay up at an older age but in all honesty you would need to see a more consistent up than down .

The vet should have explained things way better .There was no need for daily unltrasound BUT the vet should have said have one on XX day especially with the results they would have got with the prog test ,they will also suggest a Ultrasound if heading into a weekend . Our vet when doing C section does not do daily US but when the result hits a certain level or stage they will just to see how the pups are going . Having said that like others said the US would not have been a guarantee off the pups survival ,if you had it done early am then 24 hrs the next day the results could have been the same .

Even with leash training you can get creative which again is using brain games,self control & in a some what sly why teaching focus and respect on you without it being the boring same old same that they switch off . Pool noodles make fabulous training tools to create interesting walkways where the dog & you have to work as a team but also allowing the dog to problem solve . The dog above is terrible onleash so they opted for the easy option of the offleash park so it turned into "free for all brain" at an age i think is crucial for building a relationship . That will take time more time than it should have . Maybe even look at search n seek games in the backyard . Some dogs brain just works overtime & no doubt there a challenge but the trick is you wont win a battle so you need to switch to other options . Boxes with treats inside ,hide n seek ,even teaching catch requires self control

Its not mine but a dog i have regular contact with . But i do own large dogs & like you certain behaviours just arent suitable when uncontrolled . This scenario is hard because there"s the lets make excuses side,a trainer who said its screwed up because it flew on a plane & my thoughts its a beautiful,smart dog who craves attention in one way,hasn't been allowed a certain degree off freedom to learn (not feral ,do what you want freedom but an ability to learn kind off freedom instead of controlled & then confused) This dog is a body slammer & no fun what so ever .The trainer /behaviourist method to the family was grab a chair ,get the dog to focus & suck food from a syringe to re instill breast feeding . The dog has no idea how to sit still,be calm ,switch off something i pointed out very early they needed to manage ,instead they would walk it,walk it some more let it dive bomb & they loss control as the dog was so amped up . So i gave my thoughts ,the dog at present works in one speed ,teaching it to chill is like going cold turkey for an alcoholic so my thoughts is to learn to get a response in speed mode,get some focus in speed mode & as the dog is working the reward is the calm mode slowly working the dog to chill reward without pushing the human touchy feely .This dog luvs brain games ,spin,touch,paw shake & walking backwards ,Withing 2 mins its tired & the next phase of calm starts ,the last time i saw it it just wanted to dive bomb me so just told it what i wanted ,it did that & the dog stopped jumping & was switched on learning without the battle .Back to front method but could be very successful if the family where all 100% on the same page Personally as its not my dog & im just offering my two bobs worth i don't think the success will be as good as it could be because some just find a reason .for the bad manners & its alright . I totally get your frustration its no fun & you get battle fatigued from just thinking about why something so simple is so hard but if you can find the one "moment" thing you will seriously get success quickly

We have used the booster and not costly if you want the best chance for sperm. As for infertility in a line no one can truly say when only an odd animal is used for breeding .

Often dogs first attempt is poor but if it was my dog i would eliminate Thyroid issues . Finding a collector that to be blunt is good at wanking the dog on is a blessing ,we have a vet here who is just awesome at that . I would contact Noahs Crossing vets in SA regarding tablets to potentially help boosting semen

I have no idea what is in the VCA prefix exam but we have helped some in my state with an odd question .(not given answers) The last one we helped made the question harder than what it was & here it requires looking up the rules & regs . The answer was very easy & infact if this person showed regularly & brought catalogues & really read the cats answer would have jumped out easily they then just needed the correct wording to go with the answer You need to realise plenty do pass so the answers are there so it might be time to step back from the questions & start reading the rules & regs & the other info often that makes understanding the question easier

Absolutely plenty off evidence of success but the results are more based on the owners prepared to think outside the box and not be so regimental it’s this way only . The dog I mentioned was a nightmare to pat (also a show dog)and whilst the method to modify the behaviour seems odd to many it has worked the best to break down the steps for that dog . His brain at greeting is like he’s on speed, teaching him to slow down isn’t easy but teaching him to focus at that time has made a massive difference . He know does cafe visits 2 months later amongst people and is super ,he has just turned 1 yrs .

I honestly can’t remember and the fact we new the correct mating dates etc when the vet phones back agreeing it’s time we just go in ,there repo vets . Another thing to keep in mind is bitches with c sections can be bad mums at first especially if a singleton so you need to have on stand by your bottle feeding products and plan . Some don’t get milk through ASAP either

If the behaviour is annoying to you just imagine how the dog is thinking . Sounds like a dog that lacks a certain degree off confidence in what is expected & time to think outside the boring box of "you will" & go with the "lets do it" I groom a dog whose owner has complained non stop about there dogs behavior (dog has amazing nature just no boundries & lots of excuses). They sort the help off a trainer & honestly the advice the trainer gave made me left scratching my head . So i gave my advice which obviously started with the dog is only as good as the human given direction & by this i mean you can stand there a prepare for battle or you can be open minded & be creative , This dog is a body slammer & something i dont accept what so ever but the boring line of training the trainer gave i could see a dog even more frustrated & them getting no where . This dog is bright ,the dog has no attention span as it has switched off from the same old same (10 months old) so i suggested some fun things that can happen in the moment ,this dog was just super in grasping the interesting options but more importantly started to "want" to see what that human had to offer . Spin,high five ,get back ,dance yes on its back legs (suggested this as it was already doing it but to control the end result & modify over the next few weeks . Be creative the dog will get it quickly but just remember the dog is most likely more annoyed than you The dog has embraced the out of the box fun & started to settle into a more acceptable normal

No sure how the breeder could say the bitch was sterile yet sell her entire ,Sounds like the breeder is clueless themselves .(There dog may be sterile,there timing off ) Simple reality is this pup will be expensive & you have learnt a hard lesson . Did you keep dates off when she was in season?? Do you know what dog has mated her (simply asking from the point of view of factors that could make a singleton more drama). She could very well whelp naturally What date has the vet estimated from the initial ultrasound?? Have never had a vet ultrasound every day for a potential C section ,we had a bitch that our vet deemed likely to be a C section .Prog tested from day 60 depending on the results we did an ultrasound just to see what was going on ,our C sections for 2 girls have been day 60/61. The costs of your vet is at the top & i would suggest asking there c section price,ask if they open weekends & if they do after hrs ,If this bitch 100% needs a c section then you need to plan it not it become an emergency C section . After hr C sections you may look from $2000 plus compared to a working hrs off $1000. What has the breeder said?? There are vets in WA that are more breeding bitches savvy than others

The other issue is it simply tells you prefix exists not that they own it . Its still be better to contact the state body who can confirm other details that the person with the litter owns it

No one can answer because a harness needs to fit more than the size it needs to sit properly on the puppy to actually be user friendly . Have you asked the breeder what they use ?? Many Whippet people walk them on Whippet collars & do perfectly fine on those ,no need for a harness

Phone the breeder first & foremost ,if they where a good one they may be able to suggest vets with more knowledge although Covid can make this trick . """"""""Obviously no one can tell you what to do as where not vets nor seeing the dog & whats presented """""""" Swollen glands doesnt mean the worse. Pup could have been bitten by a bee ,could eaten a stick or something that has grazed inside mouth & caused an infection ,plenty of simple options . Anti biotics is very obvious & yes we would be giving them ,depending on what else is being presented & all factors weighed up would depend on how we would personally go ahead. The course of tablets if there is an infection brewing can be hit on the head asap & if the lump goes away whilst on the course could pin point a basic infection ,this normally would be how a vet would suggest starting unless something more concerning is being presented .

Something for you to think off though. When the time comes what is your plan ..?? Will you be looking for a mobile vet to PTS Will you be taking the dog to the vet Will you be burying the dog or cremating or another option for religious reasons . Many hope they will just pass away at home or experience it’s rare . We own big dogs as well as our small .When big is at there worst it can be hard to get them too a car ,a good solid blanket/Doona can help . It’s an emotional time when it happens and you will be asked what you want too do .

I dont want to burst your bubble but the dog wheel chairs aren't that simple. They require front strength to pull them ,they will require atleast 2 people to get him in safely without stressing him & some dogs hate them & panic. I have owned a dog that required the use of a wheel chair for about 6 months during that time we also did intensive exercises of his front to keep him in muscle tone & able to pull himself . During his time of not being able to walk we also had to ensure no bed sores,no laying around to much incase of fluid build up & organ crushing .I was lucky he was a 12 kg dog . HE HATED the Wheel chair with a passion as it scared him ,you cant leave them unsupervised in them incase they tip over & given his lack of body tone & condition will likely find the effort to get in the harness tiring so when it arrives make sure you take safe baby steps .You dont want it so stressed it has a heart attack for example. Its hard when family members arent on the same page not in the sense of its time now but not respecting that the dogs quality is not there & decisions need to be discussed and made . Given a pet its wings is a wonderful gift when the time comes after many years of unconditional love & asking very little from there humans in the scheme of things .This when the humans need to step up & be the owners that know its time ,they cant live forever & they shouldn't suffer for us . It sounds like you have your head in the right place even though our hearts would say something else . Maybe your sister needs the wheel chair to make that decision but just be careful the dog doesnt get caught in the middle ,its hard enough getting over the grief off a pet but from someone who made the wrong decisions the first time its harder to live with the regret off knowing you where selfish & the dog suffered for it . As such know you apply a totally didfferent respect to this process & it is never any easier but knowing it was the right time makes it easier
