What are the 2 personalities of these pups so far?? What comments has the breeder made about these 2 getting on together?? It seems the answers your getting arent what you want to hear & if the research you have done is the same one would think that would be enough to sends alarm bells & go about it differently. We run boarding kennels & aboard alot of staffs,We are lucky & have fencing they cant eat through as there notorious fence eaters so if building runs make sure the materials are staffy proof. Although i cant quite get this. Your getting 2 dogs because your son felt left out when you had one?? Your son is only 9 now ,im sure he was way to young to get that jealous prior to that . i just hope for your sons sake he doesnt end up in the middle .

Why Don't People Pick Up After Their Dogs At Shows?
Dogsfevr replied to TessnSean's topic in General Dog Discussion
Teaching squat is easy ,you dont encourage them to lift there leg . Mine will do both but if they need to pee then it aint up something. I also have abelly bib so they cant pee on belly coat & the likes -
Excess is charged one way .So in this case $140 over & $ 140 back. Virgin charging $10 was like so many years ago it isnt funny & that was also reliant on your luggage, Suck it up i pay over $800 yearly to fly to shows
-
This rule has been around for more than 25 yrs. Even if you do get a permit it is renewable each year & if you get a complaint they can revoke it .It doesnt guarantee that you can always have over the normal limit. Just because the CAWA grounds are in that area shouldnt mean any more privileges & im at a lost as to why you think that should be so. Members live far & wide not just in Gosnells

BAER tested is for hearing.

A Few Questions About Feeding My Dogs
Dogsfevr replied to FranVT's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
True .I would also scrape the rice a waste of money if trying to budget feed. -
That wouldn't be so bad, IMO. I'd love it if kennels would see their way to accepting Titre tests as an alternative to mandatory annual vaccination. When state laws change it may happen BUT kennels are bound by what there states law & reg are for running kennels. In some states kennels who accept titre are actually going against what the state law is & could be in a pickle

A Few Questions About Feeding My Dogs

We avoid beef & i always thought horse was rich?? -
same as posted so easy & folds away to nothing . Although i often use a show trolley to take all the crap in less loads

If you havent been out & visited do so. If you havent already explained your dogs issues then do so.As a kennel owner there is nothing more frustrating than being told on the day about a dog that could be special needs. We do take special needs dogs BUT its nice to now in advance just what your dealing with & even which run will best suit that dog on arrival incase it requires time to settle, I also believe a kennel should be given the right to not take any dog with issues if they feel they cant deal with it. Policies as about vet care. I would suggest dropping the dog off am & not PM so it has the day to familiarise. If you have a good rap-ore with your vet you could discuss a plain if the dog doesnt deal well with meds BUT also keep in mind some meds for stressed dogs need supervision & monitoring due to reactions etc etc. The kennel should have a contract & be able to tell you who there chosen vet is for issues . We always try to use the clients but it isnt always doable If you leave alternative contacts for emergency make sure these people are willing to assist & able to do something. We often get numbers left & the people have no clue when contacted & dont want to help. Most kennels wont allow this for various reasons . As i say a good kennel will have no issues & your dog will cope very well
-
We get dogs in for up to 6 months. We also board alot of rescue,pound dogs & issue dogs. Providing the kennel is well aware of her issues,are happy to work with her & have the facilities that you feel best suit her & small she should do very well. What you can do between now & then is not fuss or over do it because you feel guilty. Stick to her normal household routine. If the diet is different in the kennels consider trying it on her now. make a list of issues that is "normal" for your dog. Any contacts you may have,vet info . We get long lists when some dogs come in & they are a great reference because some things that seem abnormal & maybe a vet visit for most dogs isnt for yours.
-
If your brushing correctly & regulary pickles .knots & the likes wont be there. The key to remember is the longer you leave the coat then the more time you need to allow for brushing through from the skin upwards. Also the trim you like is most likely maintained weekly /fortnightly & hand scissored
-
I heard it was going through Armadale too. Is it a concern for dogs who have been vacc? Vacc dogs can still get it

Our doggy door is in the security screen(designed for big dogs) For the top of the door we just had a Perspex screen made that sits in place with those turn screws,easy peasy

Breeder Wanting Puppy Back For Future Litters
Dogsfevr replied to westozmike's topic in General Dog Discussion
If it is the breeder i think it is all bitches go on breeders terms. -
Totally agree with this,we use to use them but really didnt like the finish,they way they cut & the fact that untrained dogs & this balde dont seem to mix. We never had an issue but could see issues. We do the exact same just use the corner easy peasy
-
For babies they are only placed IE 1,2,3. If there is a baby male & female the 2 winners run off against each other for baby of breed. Ring procedure can vary so make sure you watch previous breeds & inform the steward you are new.A good steward will assit you as much as possible. Shaking hands is again a judge thing some do some dont.You will now which ones do as they make the first move,
-
We do suggest alternatives. Even more scary is the ones with the pro heart jab aswell there bill .

For a C5 vaccination alone?? You cant be serious?! Those vets must be few and far in between and must have solid gold syringes! Seriously though, i cant understand how a vet can charge this much for a vaccination and health check. I understand if there are other services included. I would love to know who does this, between my husband and I - we have both worked in most clinics south of the river and many north, over the past 20 years and ive never seen that much of a price hike in just a vaccination and health check. There out there. We nearly die when we see what there charging & as the bills are itemised we can see exactly what it covers, It truly is disgusting
-
Having worked in vet clinics for many years, including Vetwest and Wanneroo - thats about the average price. Im not sure where you got $100 for a C5 from but it must have included more than just the vacc and health check. Most vets have to stay competitive with services like vaccinations so you can expect to pay around $75-$85 for a C5 in Perth. Stonegrace we see the receipts of many of our boarding clients & $100 is cheap for what most are paying . The general cost is around $120 up $180 not all including consult fees some have even hit the $200

Are you wanting to see certain breeds?? If your wanting to see all aspects the Western Classic would be the best show but the breed groups are on different nights
