Why would you glue the hair roller ,when we used the rollers they where never glued and didn't gave any issues .Will say after trying many things the only option left was removing the damaged area ,healed quickly and dog was happy. You can try vet wrapping the end to buffer the hitting but it will always Redamage the tip

i use Bowen massage on my dogs & highly recommend it especially on young pups & the older guys. The best people to ask for recommendations is horse people ,our person does the police horses & dressage horses & took on a small number of dogs & now does more sports dogs than horses . The main thing with massage bowen its really not a once & awhile thing . I have tried others when she was away & they where useless

I have cool champions & the chamois ones & have coated breeds. I have never had issues with the chamois ones drying because i don't leave them on for ever ,there just a tool to help when required . My dogs hated there cool mats & i would be very wary of leaving dogs unattended with the cool beds with gel in them or the ones with the garden things that hold the water . Cool coats are a tool & should be used whilst supervised . At shows i will use prior to going in the ring & after leaving to just help settle .I also use the chamois towels to lay on the back or on my dogs head . Rarely do i leave them on for more than 10 mins . Should add my chamois coats live in the fridge damp all year round ,just wet them & off you go. Different coats are easier & harder to get wet depending on how quickly you want them. My cool Champions take way longer to be fully wet than the chamois

Have you asked the breeder? What diet did the breeder suggest ? Some Poms when going through the coat change look like a horrid dummy brush & drop alot of coat in patches. Has he always itched or just more recently. Are you brushing the coat to help with the coat shedding process. Treats can certainly play a big role .if your pup came from a good breeder people need to remember that us good breeders don't feed many of the crappy treats people do

The simple reality is world wide the answer would be different. Not all breeds can simply go out & do what there breed for nor would it be ethically supported . Other breeds are very lucky that there jobs are still very much allowed & doable . I have gundogs & in a perfect world working them would be great but the seasons are small,events often cancelled & the training is dedicated .I still expect my guys to show birdness though . The flip side is rarely will many pups from every litter go & do a job they where breed for so there next important job is to be suitable for pet owners who simply want a loving companion in there lives & be able to live with it in harmony . Australians don't allow many activities to let dogs do there jobs . Barn hunt testing would be great here but that will never happen . Lure coursing i see the good & bad . I did obedience & agility many moons ago when the courses suited all dogs but like many dog sports emphasis has turned to speed & agil ability instead of that good trusty realiable worker . I won't do agility with my current dogs as the course are not all breeds friendly No matter what the outcome is whether working or what ever if the dogs need to be rehomed via rescue as there not good enough for there job they need to take on a new role

There are certainly a number of excellent breeders in WA & more than 2 so not sure what kind of research you have done . You will find numerous breeders showing most weekends .

We had one of our dogs eye removed 3 weeks ago ,under $500. Recovery rate was amazingly quick & has adapted very well. This was an 11 yr old

Why not get one from a WA breeder ,there are many great ones here where you can see the parents & the pups & meet the breeder .I wouldn't be paying any money until you have decided what you want & why this breeder & pup is the right fit for you. Also don't forget to add crate hire & freight to your price

Paps are great little dogs and alot of gundog people have down sized to them & they do well in obedience . Pointers are great dogs as well i love my gundogs & handle Pointers but funnily i couldn't live with one because they lack the personality i like in my dogs 24/7 but i think they are a very under estimated breed calm,social & do well in dog sports .

Have you considered a Greyhound ,its not a breed i often suggest ( i have owned them plus our gundogs) but this could be a good fit for what you want. A more laid back dog,not mouthy ,prefers chasy & a nice calming nature ,

Creams are certainly shown as are brindles

The problem comes when they start breeding double dapples ,dapple is a form of Merle hence the health issues that appear deafness etc etc.

Stds are working dogs & need to do jobs ,there too intelligent for there own good .I have been around Stds & Minis for over 20 yrs & often find people who get stds are often disappointed because they seem to have expected something different (generally a Mini in a bigger version) or don't fully take on board what the breed is truly about ,they are a very versatile working breed ,herding,army dog,sniffer dogs ,great at obedience I would not call them affectionate compared to many breeds BUT they are truly the most loyal around Personally going to doggy daycare should have no factor in it . It really comes down to what your expectations where in getting this breed (presuming its the first time owning one ) . I personally think people get fixated on the word "bonded" at a puppy age & expect it all to be "wonderful" when this age is about frustrations.challenges & in some breeds creating a sound foundation for adulthood .

Joining a club doesn't mean you have to interact with people . Breeds clubs in particular can only survive if they have a set number of members ,if members drop & they can't source them then clubs often fold . They survive on memberships .

Personally i think with baby due in 5 months you should wait more for your first dogs sake who you truly have no idea how she will react to the changes in the household plus adding a new dog .She has a past & whilst great now i doubt she has had to deal with such major changes in one hit . I would training first dog to walk with pram now & doing as much reshaping with here before bub arrives so she can cope then after bub has settled & your new girl has settled look at bringing a new dog in I have owned Gundogs for years & they walk in straight lines ,they walk no different to any other dog that isn't lead trained .

17 dogs in co ownership/breeders terms ,relationship still going nearly 20 yrs later .

Dogs don't necessarily dislike someone but may react to them being a smoker,strong perfume,health issues ,body odor . My dogs are very social but don't feel relaxed around smokers & this is evident in the show ring with many dogs that react to judges who smoke . There was a judge that wore very strong perfume & many dogs disliked her .

Many dogs hate it & many love it. To lean for my dogs so i no longer use it . Finding a good source is important,anyone who has shot roo will no about the creep crawlies that appear

The charts & science is only as good as the owners & the effort they wish to put in . As a groomer most owners are simply to lazy to put any effort in,there dogs aren't trained to be brushed,they don't brush them often enough hence the coat builds up & bathing them is all to hard , Many of the breeds that people want clipped off would take 5 mins to brush properly but that is all to much effort . We clip them off because in the end its better for the dog to be comfy from bad owners & many just come in in such a mess that we would never put a dog through the pain to brush out plus of course the nasty dogs that weren't trained as puppies so grooming time is just to traumatic which is very distressing to see as a groomer & a dog lover . We have heard every excuse known to man kind as to why people can't brush there one dog despite being shown how to do it,the tools to buy & god forbid committing themselves to a few sessions each week because it isn't rocket science to realize doing it more often weekly makes it easier . What i find astounding is how many owners don't want this special time to enjoy each other ,brushing any dog long or short is such a special time together plus checking the dog for lumps & bumps. I can't tell you how many cancers we have picked up over the years because of owners who never brush there dogs so rarely touch there dogs either .

Is she sterilized .
