i would go the whole night ,you are training the dog to wake up through the night .What you need to be training is asking to go out ,be let out of crate or alert you to needing out .When you keep doing the routine your taking away the learning process . During the day never carry pup out ,we do prepare training inside a tad earlier to make the fun of going to the door & the reward of weeing outside so awesome . Going to the door is always rewarded with straight outside to the preferred toilet spot ,i train the babies onleash but more because there showdogs & toileting onlead isn't natural to all dogs .

Rubbish ,it comes down to the manner asked & jumping through hoops is no different than you saying must fit your scrutiny .Dog world is not the horse world & yes i have knowledge of both & often POA is to sort the time wasters out & horses are often under valued considering the training many have gone through prior to sale,soundness & vet test to confirm soundness etc etc We don't advertise price because people should be able to communicate in this day & age & ask questions . Price is one small factor in anything ,you want a pup for a purpose so selecting a breeder who can assist you in picking the right pup is very important ,prices will vary if you want working lines,showlines ,its not that cut and dry hence why talking with breeders is important . I have never known a breeder to get weird over price except when the potential owner implies there after something cheap & don't really want to pay much ,we have had some who ask to barter the price and other strange requests those people not once asked any questions about health,raising of pups,successes etc etc . Certainly those that send one liner emails are often the issues breeders have with price & they cant sent alot ,like i say comes down to the manner which asked . We often get Hey how much for pup. Price for pup Got pups how much Looking for cheap pup have any . These come with no header,no hello & no names ,Just those lines .Basic manners when asking a question goes along way

Yep rolling is very normal as is vocal noises at this time ,a great game . Dogs can itch when there puppy coat is changing,because people wash them in crappy stuff or there not being washed . If your dog is itching a lot and has coat it will be matting ,if matted due to lack of brushing knots can make them itchy and painful. Allergies can be over considered but making sure your backyard is pet friendly plant wise is important

Not sure where this current trend of thinking the breeder will be offended by asking the price is coming from . Breeders don’t care but obviously asking the price can be done in a respectful manner . Simply ask ,what is your price,which registry would that be on and what health testing has been done

Most good breeders have already exposed there pups to a great whether in the car or at home

I do mean spend less time, a pup of that age should happily be playing by itself and enjoying the ability to amuse it self and play with its toys ,amuse itself in the garden or play inside .Pup can pop it’s head in and say hi your still there but enjoy going off enjoying a dogs world We tell our puppy owners sleeping choices are less important than setting a pup to survive life when no one is home . We encourage all our puppy buyers to by a pen as there a wonderful tool but over use can create another issue and embracing training of a pup in good weather is a must ,reteaching in winter is hard

Would never have taken pup if you had concerns and breeder should have been the first person you called .

We have never ever set a clock for our pups ,our current pups from 10 weeks slept in a crate alone from 9 pm till 6 am spotlessly clean . Pups from certain ages can hang on easily overnight . Puppy pens are awesome but your teaching your pup to be totally reliant on humans. At 10 weeks he needs to be enjoying running outside ,investigating the home within reason and learning the home rules and how to get out or alert you too the door .The pen is there for naps,feeding and times when you can’t watch but if that is his world 7 days a week it’s a boring life The pen at this point is it’s backyard and when you come to it it’s time for human time . You need to teach this pup ASAP confidence,independence and how to cope or things will only get harder and it will be winter

Contact the Golden retriever club in your state ,plenty of great breeders in Vic . Although be warned us breeders hate the term furbaby and often find the owners who use that term nightmares . We breed beautiful dogs

You need to contact breeders,all breeders tell you the price ,as to deposits that’s a breeder to breeder thing ,we don’t do deposits . You shouldn’t do anything to make sure your the right fit for that breeder . If you have researched the breed,understand the breed and committed to brushing you are headed down the right path . Year to year cost depends on you ,how much you chose to spend ,if you are a responsible owner who raises there puppy correctly etc you should have a healthy ,enjoyable Pom which live to a good age . You can waste plenty of money on non necessities. But you would need to factor food,groomers fee if you aren’t prepared to brush ,basic vet bills more if you create issues less if you follow or talk with your breeder

Look at it from this point of view ,your 90 yrs old & your day revolves around looking after a 3 yr old & you ask advice how can we get on & enjoy our day more . Simple fact most old dogs don't want to be harassed by a puppy ,even our older dogs here have a safe zone from puppies & they have grown up with many new generations but like all things that get older also start to not enjoy them & there patience & desire to tolerate lessons ,they start to feel overwhelmed & no control . Puppy needs a play pen where the older dogs still have there life there normal & can experience puppy without fear /concern ,after that its short doses & also accepting that your oldies may simply not enjoy this pup they way you think they should or will

I have owned parti coloured Greyhounds ,black/white,red brindle/white /blue brindle & white & a solid Blue . The solid blue had a way finer coat than the partis & had health issues.The partis had nice thick coats . Never used sunscreen & showed them in summer & they loved sun baking & never needed sunscreen . Some colours are simply not breed in high numbers but like others have said picking a whippet with the right temp to live with kids is far more important & yes i too have colour preferences BUT would never take on the wrong dog just because of colour . If your wanting a Whippet to enjoy beach life & kids then picking the right pup will be very important as a nervous whippet will be your worst nightmare .

What ashame you could have attended the 2 whippet shows just held over the weekend in NSW .A big weekend at the Royal,hound club,sighthounds club and whippet shows . As for colour many will not be interested because there are plenty more where colour isn’t a priority for pet homes and a wait just for colour can be longer than you think . Colours just don’t appear . As to this scenario you either want a healthy pup with a good history or you just want any dog which kinda makes colour only irrelevant

This dog sounds very confused and not surprised .For starters he doesn’t now ,he isn’t doing anything deliberate or wrong ,pup just has no clue what you want . If this pup came from a breeder where it learnt to toilet on lawn it’s going against all the pup was taught early on for toileting so you need understand that your now wanting him to toilet in his pen which we teach from 5 weeks not too . The pitfalls of an apartment dog and an active breed . You need to decide what the long term plan is and for any apartment dog that is making sure quality grass outdoor time is a must so if your plan is for the dog to toilet when outside then that’s what you train now . The pup can’t live in the pen all the time even at this age . If your busy / running late that isn’t the pups fault ,toileting is important hanging on is not healthy .When it rains you have to factor getting wet as you will be any way to exercise the dog otherwise he will likely destroy your home aka his yard if you don’t define the too. At present your home is his toilet as that is what you are teaching him ,he doesn’t get that the toilet set up is where you want him to go so he has no reason to tell you ,hence taking him on the grass and teaching him to go to the door to alert you is toilet training . Many use real rolled lawn if it’s a must they toilet in the home / balcony to keep it real . Your will be challenged making it work for apartment living ,is not easy but success is based on your dedication to go above and beyond to meet its daily needs so you need to do a list of your expectations as an adult and start that now . The first item will be outside on the grass first thing every day no matter what the weather is and again at night . You need to work on an age plan to meet its needs especially as it will be at in influential age for winter ,exploring more ,able to jump ,wanting to hear,touch and react to noises etc etc

I guess the question is what kind of autism does she have as to what kind of dog will best fit. Is she a very vocal ,roughkind or the very quiet ,gentle or in between . Once this is determined thinking what dog is a better match to her needs will be good help .

Most pets who get this issue would be PTS , I doubt a vet would question the food . Although there was a similar issue in Europe with dry food not available here so plausible

Steggels direct Osborne Park and Boys and bears pet meat supplies

They are just as high energy and needy Although a lot comes down to the owner . We have boarded a few powerful,agile and come in varying shapes and sizes but wouldn’t consider them low energy at all ,infact a Staffy is milder and we also board a lot them

You would certainly want to watch Roo ,they are full of worms

There a plenty sold but make sure you pay the extra for quality ,that means quality mesh sown correctly . Most are cheap and nasty and I would not trust leaving my dog in. I had the noztonoz brand and they where good but opted to sell them as they get hot,weren’t any lighter than my good wire crates and my wires where just safer and easier to hang the water bucket

The nutriscan tells you what are a higher / lower risk for your dog and what type of reaction level so you can then feed based on the results . By the the time you buy various foods and supplements it’s a cheaper more accurate guideline

In alll fairness the staffy pup is bigger & stronger than your Dachie. The dachie has returned back too its home to a new pup that has no off switch or its own time out area & the Dachie also doesn't have its own time out /retreat area. These dogs will never be best friends ,chances are the Dachie will most likely be very overwhelmed as time goes by so in reality i would not be expecting these two to live happily ever after but setting up a lifestyle that means both dogs are independent off each other unless people are home . The Dachies personality is already set ,its enjoyed a peaceful lifestyle & not had to share ,its a massive change for an older dog . Your Dachie will get frustrated in trying to put it in its place because of the size difference & the dachie will be fearful if its not feeling a sense of calm & control . Personally i think puppy schools are crap unless the instructor is very experienced & is setting all owners up for adult successful not just an hr free for all & teaching pups to do what they want with no self control. We have big & small dogs here & whilst both parties interact its rare there left together & our oldies always when new litters or pups are about have a safe area set up from the very start so there not affected in anyway . Your pup just wants to play ,in hindsight it would have been better to had the two together from day 1 instead of seperating to another house as the Staffy has a confidence in the home & the Dachie has returned to a puppy that has grown more & got its self established . Managed the household & ensure the Staffy is socialized in a productive manner for life skills . The biggest thing you need to be mindful is the Staffy doesn't damage your Dachies back with rough play at his age

I would certainly contact the Rotti club in your state ,explain all the facts and I’m sure they will be a wealth of knowledge in assisting

Is what happened on this pups return that important to you ? If your expecting a cheaper dog as it’s older then it’s most likely the wrong relationship for you . 12 months is not old . As to what each breeder does on a pup/older dog return is up to them and what is discussed between the two parties and the contract . Are you worried if you return the dog you won’t get your money back as honestly this is a strange post

Maybe consider getting a nutriscan done to see what foods to avoid .
