  1. Aselie, that's just beautiful, she did a great job. Well I found somene on eBay called Dishlicker Coats http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Greyhound-Satin-Presentation-Trophy-Coat-Rug-/320767743783?pt=AU_Pet_Supplies&hash=item4aaf3f5727#ht_720wt_922 They are $45 embroidered on one side. There is also a place in Perth and they are $165+GST+Postage but they are printed on and can include logo, they do greyhound and horse presentation rugs. Thinking of a gold one with black fringe and black embriodery
  2. Any one know where I can order a Fringed Satin Dog Coat for a Best Exhibit In Show? THanks Trina
  3. Any idea who makes these as I need to organise one for our club. Thnks Trina
  4. SC, have been thinking about Emma, have no advice but to spoil her rotten (even more than usual :wink:) and live every day with her to the fullest. She's lucky to have had you in her life
  5. My puppies whn they o to their new homes are on 3 feeds per day PLUS goats milk just before I go to bed at night.
  6. My puppies are 5 1/2 weeks old and mum still has access to her puppies. For breakfast they are having weet-bix and goats milk, for morning tea they like sardines! At lunch they have beef mince, natural yoghurt and a little dry kibble (ARTEMIS med/large breed puppy), they have either chicken wings/lambflaps/chicken frames to chew on later in the afternoon (they just chew and suck on them). For dinner they have dry kibble with goats milk and just as I am going to bed they get more goats milk. They are not fussy at all and love their food, its never all finished but I'd prefer there to be more than them being hungry. Jett gets the left overs and is THRILLED about that.
  7. My first litter she had 14, 2 didn't survive birth, so I had 12 puppies for a couple of days til she squashed 2. I let them feed naturally off her then topped them up with fresh goats milk with colustrum. I was scared of flooding their lungs o i used an eye dropper for the first day (smallest was 202 grs) and ljust dropped it on their tongues, took a while but it was my first litter and i didnt want to do anything wrong. This lasted until they were on solids. There were only 3 that I had to really top up, they were the smallest in the litter. So lad this recent litter she has enough teets, makes life so much easier
  8. That's heartbreaking.... RIP precious animals
  9. Yep you missed - prog should be rising about day 10 11 - be hot to trot day 12/13 and you have missed by day 14 - though I would have thought you might have got a couple of pups from a day 14 mating. Mind you the girls can be ready as early as day 10 and late as day 21. Annoyingly the books are based on an average of 100+ assessed bitches - any given individual can be different. If I had to I would prog test from day 11 - 15 daily. Each bitch is different, each cycle is different.....my baseline prog test on my girls first mating was at day 4 of her cycle (she comes in every 4 months) it was 48, she was mated the next day and this mating resulted in 14 puppies (natural mating) This last litter was by the result of a surgical AI at Sandown by Dr Mat, her baseline prog test was day 3 and that prog test was 7.3, day 5 was 12.8, day 7 was 37.8 and she had a surgical AI that day and that resulted in 10 puppies. With regard to age, we do not breed our bitches until they are AT LEAST 22 months old. Jetts first litter was whelped just days before her 3rd birthday. Her 2nd litter she was 4 and 1/2. If I don't get what I want from the litter she will have 1 final litter later next year/early 2014, she will be 6.
  10. Am so sorry for your loss....RIP little angel
