I would ask the vet if they can do a written report for the breeder . As this is rare and unique and obviously depending on the breeder themselves this will be a big learning curve for them . A written . report gives them correct details and the ability to go talk with there vet and go from there . Although this is a hard thing for Lab breeders due to no real testing except getting the parents heart checked each year but they can be no signs until later age

Agree contact the breeder & then contact a very good trainer .These are warning signs & no one can tell you over the net how to go about things with this pup . There could be many factors BUT seeing it in real time is a must

I would be just asking to go to a cardio specialist ,your already forking out money .Go to the specialist get the right answers & go from there . The breeder has done the right things .We would offer a refund BUT after a specialist vet has given a correct answer ,sadly too many vets get it wrong ,owners ring in panic ,vet says it has this ,its a breeding issue & then it turns out a whole different thing . Do people return there pups ,yes many do because the heartbreak is easier now than long term especially if children are involved . Heart murmurs happen ,there is nothing to say any pups from the next litter will get them . Just like humans why does one child end up with a heart condition & the others don't & there is no family history . Out of curiosty is this pup smaller than average

Personally just introduce at home .The new dog will already be overwhelmed going to a new place,a walk in an unknown area ,with people & a dog it doesn't now. As for making them friends there are no crystal balls for that .Providing your first dog is actually ready for a new friend & is happy to share you then thats a good start . I would suggest bring the new dog home .Someone stays home with it whilst the other person takes the established dog out for a walk or a car drive. The new dog can have a sniff & look around without the other dog then just take it from there .Meet in the front garden & then go from there .

Your vets sound very weird . Any decent vet would have suggested adding nutrigel if the pup is that weak and requiring added support. If this pup is struggling then the diet needs to be changed ,it doesn’t need soya chunks ,it needs to go on a puppy dry ,meat and keep it simple to allow its body to adapt start to nourish itself and then add appropriate things slowly It doesn’t need rice,,cerelac,chopped beans . Sleeping for 20 hrs is so not normal and if your walking a sick,exhausted puppy especially in the current warm weather it will deteriorate quickly . There is no way this pup had parvo and survival rate without treatment and treatment very early is poor . A dog with parvo is very easy to spot and for a vet some key factors that make it obvious namely the horrid smell Has this pup even been wormed . Its sad you brought from such a shonky breeder and I hope you have no long term issues

I don’t weigh food either I feed what looks logical and base it on that dog ,. My dogs are coated and I’m a big hands on touch and feel my dogs kind of owner .Also lifting in to a car or up is always a good tool . Rarely ever even weigh my dogs ,the ones I do are once they hit adult weight so I have an idea for flying Bath days are great for revealing weight . most people will say oh it’s fat as the coat has grown , The problem with most people is they don’t factor additional foods treats . When we have clients with fat dogs we always offer help as we are seeing so many dogs with diabetes. First answer is always not feed much ,interestingly people cant seem to grasp that add ons change a food chart with ratios.People with fruit trees do t factor the free range grazing off fruits etc Summer to winter feeds can vary due to temps ,where the dog lives ,inside / outside working not working . Some vets are clueless and had a client with a JR that was very long in loin whose vet said it was starving .It wasn’t ate well ,good coverage but you can’t fill up that body fault . Sports chiro,massage practioners are great in pets

Common sense if it’s fat it’s fat if it’s thin it’s thin ,over think it and it becomes hard work . Pictures are a guideline just like food amount are a guideline but one has to use common sense. for each dog Barrell chested breeds look fat to some not to others who understand the breed aka Labs . Yes you can have dat and thin Labs . An aging dog with muscle wastage looks out of balance but visually easy to see and. Feel . My large breed pups I don’t keep lean never have ,I like them covered in a healthy fashion for growth each week but if they head either under or over I address it A dog too long in loin will look underweight and no amount of feeding will make it look fat . As a groomer I can guarantee most people look at there dogs and. can not apply common sense as to whether it looks fat or thin . We will say watch the weight and people look at you like you have insulted them as a dog owner .

I would be buying some vet bed to place on top ,that is what we use when raising puppies & have used it with our elderly dogs ,still requires washing but absorbs the wee & still gives a nice cosy bed to sleep on & drys very quickly aall weather when washed

We tell all our owners to have a puppy pen so the established dog has quality time out & pup has its safe zone,sleep zone & the not over doing it zone . We don't encourage owners to bring there current dog as we feel its an important time taking pup home .Place older dog inside & allow pup the freedom to walk about toilet without the overwhelming experince of the older dog. Hopefully you have put the hard yards in with the older dog around other dogs so it has good manners .

I think the OP has to be exaggerating the amount of exercise as no Bullmastiff pup i have ever meet could do that distance at that age daily without the owner seriously dragging it . And aggressive Bullmastiff at that age is even more disappointing as that is so not typical behaviour of the breed ,i have to question if its a pure Bullmastiff as no sane breeder would suggest that amount of exercise in there paperwork & would stress limiting the exercise vocally . But you have an issue & will have a bigger one long term aka agreesion will be a bigger problem than the hole digging especially in a rental . You need to seriously re assess this pup & what is going on & get some training,routine & taking a big step back from the over exercising that may very well have her in pain

5 months and human aggressive thats a big concern . Protection & aggression is not the same nor an excuse for such dangerous behaviour

Well people seem to think its cruel BUT when the puppy farm bills went out for public opinions most of joe public supported spaying ,early spaying will be a result of many of those bills & people thinking it wont affect them ,welcome to "be careful what you wish for" .Its not a puppy farm bill its a "All breeder bill" Breeders with ANKC are fighting for this kind of issue to not happen but look at SA new puppy rules . Hmm as to the Australian Ladradoodle breeders that where proven with issues ,i dare say they know breed Cobberdogs

You still have the issue is it a pure potential Dingo or just a another half breed stray running around. Kelpies also come in a variety of Colours so the colour is very possible

No to baby wipes & you need to not over wipe but encourage soothing .If her privates become to sore she will not want to wee which is an issue Never heard of the product your using & looking it up doesn't sound the best for UTI . Diet can play a big role on a UTI prone animal. AS for vets try Kudah Dr Boekleman (only)who is very offay with GSD & a reproduction vet https://www.kudahvet.com.au/

Inverted is very easy to spot & any half wit vet can tell you . What is her toilet routine ,does she squat into her pee,is she an obsessive licker of her privates . What diet is she on . Cranberry tablets or even better Liquid chlorophyll can be used for reoccuring UTI's ,Consider using sudacream on her vulva as the burning can really create another issue with a sore private so try to ease the pain for piddling . Agree inform the breeder ,does she have any other issues bad ears ,yeast issues ??

When was her last season many bitches can do massive coat dumps after a season . Hormonal coat itching on some entire bitches can be a big issue . Thyroid is certainly a contender & well worth ruling out . Our friends have Tibbies & they drop coat like no tomorrow & constantly itches she is an entire bitch with a tight top coat ,never had the big Tibbie coat . Have they tried the Cytopoint injection fro allergies

We use Yakult but bloody poo after being given a product could be a small bout of colitis which is a warning sign. What happens if you just feed one meal ??or is this not an option . We have never used a dog stuff & only use anything if required . Dogs can do soft poos if muscle sore in the stomach . You could also try Chlorophyll which is human stuff but so a great product for many things . We use it when our girls are in season & i started to use it on one of my older boys who was getting a bad breathe (no teeth issues etc etc ) he was getting random loose stools & gets bowen treatment regularly but feel it was a result of his arthritis playing up & affecting him in general ,since putting him onto it no smelly breathe,stomach back to normal & the product helps with inflammation so all good we will be using it as a general product for all our dogs due to its other uses & ourselves

The suit isn't going to solve the issue of ear & nose & it needs to be perfectly made to fit the dog in question otherwise there a nightmare for the dogs to wear correctly as i had water proof ones but sold them as there where more trouble than not for the brief time i used them & not all dogs will walk in them . Would be potentially cheaper to get false turf & limit the area she can walk around

Dogs Vic wont be able to help . The Sheltie club would be your best chance as the breeder may no longer breed & no one may have used there dogs so no guarantee the lines are still out there & if they are would have new lines in there

I would ditch puppy school and contact manners n more they do class training but with all the right aspects aka self control etc etc

I would be asking the puppy school trainer before you attend classes what strategy they would use for the issues your dog has.There are terrible puppy classes out there that will make your pup worse because there theory is they will get over it or the forced to interact in an environment that is too overwhelming .

Mind you these questions you should be asking the breeder,its there responsibility to give you sound advice.Have you asked them ?? It depends on your pup as to what she will or wont be able to do ,tolerate long term

I would source a qualified trainer who will come to your home and see what the dog does and teach you how to manage and control the puppy . Dont do it yourself with friends and the likes as you may unknowingly be handling it the wrong way and setting the dog up for a fail . Having someone to guide in the right process whilst pup is you g is a must and the sooner the better Its a strange reaction if it’s good with the family ,any chance that first person did something unknowingly has left a unhappy memory for this pup. I totally agree in phoning the breeder

14 months is not old so the price is reasonable Providing it has been we’ll socialised. . We charge full price at that age too because people are getting a well trained adult dog

Mine too get bowen every month & i have an equissage hand machine & redlight therapy pad . I have also used rock tape on the dogs when required to assist
