  1. That isn't how it works in the fair trading ,obviously cases may vary for some reasons but its treated like a "goods" ,the breeder has offered a legit resolve. Also there may be parts of this story missing . Some breeders may ask for a second opinion or if looking at assisting the bill seek a second opinion on the procedure & cost .. This is such a rare issue ,just like humans although im sure parents don't expect someone to pay for there creation.? I know of one person with an Am Staff that had an issue,had surgery no issues at all.Generally done when there getting spayed,i believe some cases can be less/ more invasive as others but a good success rate . But in the end this is not a problem any breeder can for see or test for so yes it is a deal with it issue ,a very rare occurring issue
  2. Have brought from them BUT will say on some orders because the product we ordered wasn't in stock they sent a similar one without asking first or just taken forever to send it . I do think at time there out of stock is an issue
  3. also keep in mind expressing the glands weekly just to feed this food is not ideal either .It is often said over expressing can cause a weakness . So you need to weigh up what is the best middle ground & top food means diddly squat to a dog as to what they thrive on
  4. People can have the same issue ,its a shit happens thing,Breeders can't be blamed for every issue & when you take on any animal there are vet bills,if you have insurance no drama but the breeder has offered you something . Honestly it peeves me off when people say if i return it it will be PTS seriously the breeder most likely wont & would just do the surgery .
  5. Keep in mind these suits will still require dedicated brushing if in big coats as they will matt more & i wouldn't let mine swim in them though ,most i don't think are designed for swimming in.I certainly know the lyrca products i use on my show dogs would stretch & hold water ,the US ones would most likely be a better option as i know some setter people use them for training but most just brush & product when there coated dogs hunt I know an Irish person in Victoria has one for there dog as it wore it at the Gordon Setter field fun day
  6. Gut aches & loose poos doesn't always mean wrong food,stomach muscles play a big factor which is why i use bowen treatment on my dogs ,i know when there sore as they often end up with a runny poos ,so in some cases people can change a diet till the cows come home but wont solve the issue .Dogs muscle play just a big a role
  7. So what was he doing in an offleash dog area with a wheelbarrow & woodchips?
  8. Dont create a monster but over thinking things .Also don’t turn your Yorke into a carry around pet nervous pet . Puppy could have had a gut ache ,sometimes the days activities can be just to much for puppy and there just too tired to sleep ,like a toddler that hits the wall but won’t sleep .
  9. And if you are a good ethical breeder whose dogs are house dogs that will no longer be allowed as all breeding bitches must be in a kennel ,so even if someone owns a bitch on breeders terms it’s suppose to live in a outdoor kennel setup . The sad part is pet owners see these types of a reform as a win but it changes nothing except making it tougher on beloved house pets and it doesn’t stop puppy farms
  10. Your dog doesn’t set the rules you do,how do you change easy it’s your terms not the dogs,look at other enrichment ideas because your dog will have days if it hasn’t happened already where a walk just isn’t going to happen,the world won’t end and the dog doesn’t get what it wants .
  11. Remember many tricks still require sit,drop so the dog isn’t missing out but often engages more because it’s fun,fast and works a busy brain well . i have a breed where sitting is awkward as a baby so it’s not a comfy position and they will wriggle about due to size and growth hence I find working on tricks is more fun and still engages the dog to watch,listen and learn. Not sure what sort of coat your pup has but don’t forget to add grooming to the training ,this includes che king feet for grass seeds,chechecking the teeth and feeling all over
  12. If it was my dog I would be training for the tricks more and rewarding than the boring stuff especially with such a combo .
  13. deerhounds are a great option but I think the simp,e reality is giant breeds struggle in old age simply due to there size so age and quality is a different package . But in the scheme of partners issues sounds like a small dog would be a better fit
  14. We Never do the third but it depends what was used ,we only suggest the 3 If a high risk area but in the end you have to be happy but ask questions what is being used and why ,some vets are truly doing it over the top
  15. I very much doubt watching you pulls weeds has encouraged digging ,if it was that simple to train a dog by mimicking humans training would mean we all own the perfect dog with no excuses . Chances are digging was normal where it was raised ,when we have litters we don’t encourage digging but they will give it a go after all there dogs,outside can be boring ,sterile and life so routined . Some gardens literally say dig me ,pull me and destroy me
  16. There is a place in Sunbury that deals with issues ,just can’t remember the name
  17. For us the frustrating ones are those who go on about must haves ,will wait,not perfect enough etc etc and then phone you to say have brought a pup that wasn’t what they wanted from a random breeder because they couldn’t wait any longer and ask for your help as they have issues . The reason many breeders don’t deal with in blunt terms time wasters . we no longer take waiting lists and believe those who are serious will respect us by being honest and upfront others who seem to want to p,at the game we find hard to build a trusting relationship with and question there honesty
  18. Needs to be PTS ,if they want professional help then they need to find a reputable person who will access the dog correctly and advise as such . I would not get involved unless you have the qualifications to back up the reasons either way . thyroid issues could be a reason but this dog would get a one way ride
  19. You certainly don’t have to take your dog to the dog park and your dog won’t suffer if you don’t. mine have never been near one and never will ,happy social dogs .
  20. I’m happy to wait for my right dog especially as it’s a future showdog but given I have other dogs I show it isn’t a case of needing something now kind of thing. As a breeder we have people who will wait but I do believe some will never find what they want so I can honestly say we tend to take them of the list as they often end up wasting our time especially as there is always another great home available . So I sit in the middle understanding but some I think live the dream by simply having there name Down on the list ,some will never be happy with the pup they get as there expectations are to much so we are very cautious dealing with such people
  21. Try crocodile,roo meat gave one of mine terrible gas,coat discolouration.
  22. BAER testing is not a normal service you will have to travel to get in done ,generally only a handful of places do it in each state so your not going to have a great deal of options & the hills to Two wells area isn't that far . The Uni may offer it or the dermatology section at a referral vet but i would be comparing prices I had to fly east to get my dog done so your lucky to have the service available with a drive .
  23. There are 2 clinics that test in SA Adelaide Plains I think it’s called Noah’s Crossing out two Wells way .
  24. There are 2 clinics that test in SA Adelaide Plains I think it’s called Noah’s Crossing at two Wells way .
  25. You can’t monitor hearing issues ,if your pup is deaf ,deaf in one ear or borderline then the sooner you know the easier you can adapt a lifestyle that allows quality,independent living and ensuring human interaction is positive not frightening the better . Your vet should have to.d you about the BAER option .. A BAER text is the only health check to confirm it ,puppies learn quickly to adapt ,follow or read signs ,feel vibrations hence a vet check as such will not give you a true reading . i would contact your breeder with your concerns
