So you have issues on the leash ,you need to start there . If you can't control your own pup in the backyard on the leash & have issues in public then that is red flags for you . You need to go back to basics with training or source a trainer who will get back on track

Totally agree especially with a Britt they can be insanely needy & vocal so setting up for a real life routine is a must . Its ashame so many owners don't grasp that when they all think right now is perfect .

Have they guaranteed those flights because they last info was bookings where only being taken 24 hrs before flight & no guarantee especially with rural . I would want a solid back up plan

What’s her behaviour like in public when on a lead

The better question is what is your long term plan and how do I raise the puppy to adapt too it . Personally I think chaining is cruel and not safe so would do a dog run over chaining . Puppies start as there life will be here ,there normal is every day so they feel comfy in that . im presuming this is a day plan for when at work so what is the rest of the day going to be inside/outside

What has the breeder suggested . What was the diet suggested . How do you feed quiet area,hovering around puppy,do you feed at the same time ,do you leave food down,do you feed treats .What exercise and daily stimulation does pup get . Have you or do you hand feed it anything How are the puppies teeth ,teething is no fun for many puppies, What food is your pup eating as it obviously is eating . How underweight is pup

Has the dogs thyroid levels been checked at .? As for your thoughts on PTS I 100% support your thought . A friend has been through the same scenario after a brain fungus issue the quality of life was not there and the after seizure behaviour was becoming more and more dangerous to the dog and the humans. They tried all options but there was no help

What is his budget may make it easier to suggest . bonnie and coprice have changed there ingredients over time and what comes out the other end not worth the budget cost . Is he planning to feed just dry or is the budget going to cover dry and meat

Yes we have owned blind dogs . I can only be brutally honest some cope very well others don’t . Given the whole trauma your dog has been through it will be struggling . Be prepared to be firm but fair ,you need to be prepared to suck up your feelings and be ready to give your dog new life skills and confidence you can’t be a wuss . Keep it simple ,build him back up with small successes. Carpet runners are great for giving touch tools to waster bowl,outside ,bed . Your dog is going to walk into things minimize the risk and make it simplistic. Have a puppy pen for time out or when getting overwhelmed . Encourage and reward head ring and smell cues ,those 2 tools will be its life saver . It May become overwhelmed hearing noises differently and smells making its head spin each way but this is when you need to be positive and encouraging . Clicker training can be great ,onlead walking the mud map . Your dog will likely walk with a goose step in the front legs as those front legs become its walking poles

Taste of the wild pacific stream has no chicken fish4dogs do a no chicken variety There is a couple off others . i have a dog who can not have chicken off any kind . Also consider getting the thyroid checked

I would not put in writing you will pay so much towards the procedure & the reason being they may decide to pick the most expensive vet around which will cost you more . It would be better to drop the price of the pup taking out what the estimated cost of surgery will be . The issue here is pet insurance for the new owners may be a problem as you have rightly so informed them of a pre existing condition so they will head straight to there vet where it will be noted in the system .So UTI 's may not be covered . Forget there a lawyer ,you are dealing with a puppy owner . First job is to inform them ,let them know what the pros/cons are off the issue ,send them the vets report which wont be massively detailed because there is the unknown in rectifying with age BUT it backs you up . Ask them to think about it as a family .Personally i would send a follow up email with it all in writing not just verbal . Then make sure you have it clearly written in your puppy contract that they are buying this puppy fully aware of its diagnosis & have been made aware of the potential outcomes . Lawyer or not you would have to do the same thing . This isn't a massive issue BUt it can be a tad costly for UTIs so important people are made aware . UTI can become an issue ,a good vet will absolutely suggest allowing 1/2 seasons to help assist if not severe .Even if not severe the UTIs can be just a bigger pain so surgery still the open . We own a bitch slightly inverted & she has no issues what to so ever . We groom a English Springer Spaniel that had constant UTI,sore vulva & drama's until she had the surgery than all good

I would not pay that price for a crossbreed . I would expect the parents to both have current health testing & not a Vet said they where healthy line if there wanting to charge that much for pups . That is more than my pedigree pups which are registered ,health tested parents & full breeder back up . But I’m doubting this post is legit anyway and would have thought giving up weed if legit would have been important enough for the current dog

The people who brought them in where very well known in the show world so the breed was easy to learn about back then & well promoted by those that had them . Your chow could simply be a chow or have Finnish Lapphund in it ,the Lappies are quite common in Australia & a better chance of one of those being used in a cross breeding than a Eurasier

5 months is also not long after a severe infestation . You need to do a food diary even if you head down the specialist path they will ask what you feed. What colour is your Dachie?

What advice has the breeder given? Have you soaked the kibble to soften it slightly whilst teething . Is pup being fed in a quiet zone . there is nothing wrong with adding the right foods to pups dry and yes a hungry puppy can be a grumpy puppy just like us . What time out does pup get from the kids ,are you ensuring it gets brain switch off time . The roll is a start ,you can get pet mince ,can cook up veggies etc etc . Biggest thing is keep it simple . Your mission is to feed right but also to teach right

I think most use Bowral .

The risk will be there for many years . If you F10 it straight after the loss of your pup the time frame would be better as it needed addressing sooner than later . If you haven’t cleaned and sprayed then getting it done in a hurry is good but leave pup at parents . Your saving grace if your backyard receives lots of sunshine is that helps a lot with killing the bug

We have no need to flea/tick treat but we also follow the rule keep it simple and old fashioned . We also don’t heartworm as the risk here is very small compared to the chemicals . We always heartwormed until they made it More fancy . We all Worm adults on a basic schedule . At the end of the day there all strong chemicals being placed into your dog , Some breeds with higher incidence of thyroid or other auto immune issues I would manage even more . I wouldn’t give the all in ones too stock I wasn’t breeding from due to potential issues

Im talking about your pet insurance not covering a claim if the vaccination protocol is not followed or your dog gets sick with a disease that they deem could be vaccinated for & preventable not about vaccine failure . Not all cover titer test in there wording & if a puppy gets parvo but owners opted out of the additional booster then you need to understand how you provider deals with such things because we all know they will will find a reason not to pay out . Its not about whether they pay for the vaccination but what they will cover if you decide to not follow the recommended protocol that insurers base there findings on .

Like Tassie said depends where you live although im not sure of any vacc worldwide that is given monthly but are you sure your not confusing worming monthly till 6 months that may have come up in the conversation

https://aussiedog.com.au/updog-challenge-ultimate-canine-disc-sport/ Some of the fly ballers also do Disc dogs .

You lost me & would have lost any pet owner in the process .

Are they actually a registered breeder ?? Im gathering you had the pup flown over if you didn't get the Vacc card at time of pick up ?? Excuses may be legit may not . Depending on the state some states are so backed up with rego there weeks behind,pups cant be registered until microchipped ,our puppies never leave with papers because we choose to chip later so paperwork is still being processed when they leave unless we pay for fast track & at times fast track is put on hold until all caught up ,if in Victoria for example they are backed up . Vacc card & microchip paperwork is ready when pup goes . If you have concerns contact the body there registered with to confirm there details

The regulations is simple and how much morals a breeder has full stop. Plenty of working breeders register under the ANKC banner so they follow the same rules for registering pups.. Plenty of working/showline breeders are members of there GSD associations and need to meet there testing standard for letters after there names . If a working line breeder belongs to another organisation then they would meet what rules they have in place or that org may have no requirements. The key factor is a breeder deciding after health testing what scores or results they consider there personal cut off for breeding purpose . i know of dogs who have worked at the highest level with very average hips .I know dogs who have done agility at the highest level with average hips . its not that cut and dry If a working line breeder is not a member of anything and just breeds they have no rules to follow or testing requirements . This applies to anyone breeding whether it be Show,working or boutique ( the new it word) At the end of the day both sides have to safely be able to place the dogs they have bred into the public world for what ever task they deem fit for .Pet,working,therapy,dog sports,show but at the end of the day a dog still needs to be sane to live happily In my breed and the Gundog group particularly in Europe working line breeders are not exactly treasured especially with there throw away or dump it attitude . So there either not being breed correctly to work or there being so over worked they still break down but the dump rate and neglect rate is appallingly high. So many end up in rescues and sent to the UK with all sorts of health and behavioural,issues. How dogs live in society has changed ,in Australia being able to do fit for function activities is very limited . Just like humans my ancestors my have stood in the river banging clothes to wash them ,know I we use a washing machine . For some breeds drought conditions has made a working season totally unknown and when a working season is over then it’s looking at the alternatives available . Working/Hunting conditions have changed from its original purpose most breeds are know multi purpose dogs finding new roles in life with new expectations in society . At one stage people owned the all round GSD to be family,guard and great companion. People know use security devices over dogs BUT at the end of the day if your going to breed then those puppies need to fit into the world and with what can be offered so for some adapting drive ,ease to live with is just as important whilst still keeping the whole package. . I think there are many breeds where showlines/working line or dual purpose has worked amazingly well ,some breed have small groups who have deviated terribly for no betterment . I would love to utilize my dogs naturally working ability more but the amount of training & dedication is often let down by conditions on the day with cancellations of trials . I would love some of the US methods in working aptitude tests or basic work titles so even if your not a diehard worker you can still do & title with the basics , Even for one of our other previous breeds the barn hunt tests would be awesome but that wont happen in Australia . The one thing i love about watching many of the dogs on Westminster is the dogs who have so many varying titles outside showing . I now the diehard working people are often vocal saying its useless yadda yadda which i think shows the One shouldn't live in a glasshouse approach but gaining extra titles in some countries is logistically & available so much easier although lets be real even the US is facing the animal rights movement which will make working titles or doing what they where bred too do so much harder

The simple answer is what ever floats one boat . There are plenty of working dogs that no longer resemble there breed ,working dog doesn’t mean healthier nor is it a guarantee of better hips,elbows,mouths etc .Any half decent working breeder still tests for health issues and removes issue dogs . Many working line breeders don’t care on retaining the dogs original look just focused on how it performs .I certainly know in one of my breeds that some diehard working lines are impossible to reconize and couldn’t hunt for original purpose as there too small and would be incapable of carrying a heft bird through Moore’s,bogs without breaking down but they suit the hunters who work different game and on different terrain to current times No side is better both sides have there pros and cons . For many working aspects terrain and the way they do there job in current times may have changed dramatically to what the original breed standard asked for so they have changed how dogs are breed . Show lines doesn’t mean useless either ,plenty can still do the job and is ashame so many seem to knock them down . Styles of working is always a hot topic ,some exTreme working lines will claim there extreme high drive to the point of having to be managed is breed correct when it isn’t. infact I owned a showline GSD ,we also had a exGerman army handler at our place for his job who watched my boy just being his pet self in the backyard and was so impressed by his old school work ethic ,he said a trait being breed out of the modern working line for new current expectations .. Considering in Australia working many breeds true to there history is impossible to work to there job then breeding dogs that can sanely and safely live in society is just as important
