Boronia

Sealyhams and Scottish terriers, just love them but I can't justify the cost of buying one so instead I have feral Westies (thank you Westie Rescue) and a smoochy Dandie

The last part of this link states: The court heard the dog was bought off Gumtree for $500 and was advertised as a purebred American Staffy. The Sydney-based breeder told police he capped the price as he understood a sale over that amount would mean it would need to be done through a registered breeder with documentation. The breeder said the dog's parents were bought independently, also from Gumtree, and also not from a registered breeder. Is that a new law that pups that are sold more than $500 mean the seller needs to be a registered breeder?

I feel that by asking here you do know what you need to do and, unfortunately, pretty shortly from what you have written. As he is a GSP he will have more brains than your average dog so he'll know he's doing a poo where, in his heyday, he would never do, his hips will be hurting and the fact that he is eating well and trundling round the garden don't make up for his just feeling so bad physically and mentally I think his time has come and really feel for you as that last goodbye just sucks big time B xx

My mistake! Thank you for correcting me, and I won’t let it happen again

Thank you for your polite and kindly-meant reply @coneye it certainly shows what I know...not much apparently. Oh by the way, one thing that I do know is that the apostrophe goes between the n and the t as it replaces the letter 'o' in the word not.

Courts don't add more on if a person is a bit of a tool Coneye, imagine the amount of appeals that would ensure. I think Sandrake has gotten our advice now so maybe just lay off and let him make up his own mind

I watched the last episode on Sunday Perse, it was good to see where Lucky found his forever home and he couldn't have found a better one! Frank Finger is the best

For goodness sake just pay the fine, your dog was outside your premises and not under control, he ran across the road towards another dog. You are 100% responsible so put on your big-boy boots and own your mistake and don't let it happen again. Uncontrolled dogs are a menace and make the ordinary just-taking-my-dog-for-a-walk time from a pleasurable exercise into a fearful excursion.

Thanks T, perhaps not this one @Ben111

@Ben111, I had a look on-line and this company came up, they do aggressive dog boarding, I have no idea what they are like so you'd best have a hunt around for reviews. https://elitek9resort.com/ Can your breeder possibly board your dog for short periods?

Veterinary drug manufacturer Elanco recently received a conditional license from the USDA for its canine parvovirus monoclonal antibody (CPMA) therapy; veterinarians are now free to purchase it pending individual state approvals https://www.barkandwhiskers.com/2024-01-15-canine-parvovirus-infection/

I'm so sorry KTB, Elbie was part of the DOL family, as was Hoover, both were here when I first joined so they have always part of the Dogz team. My condolences

Wow, tears in my eyes now what a beautiful dog and terrific owners and vet team

There are pet insurances that you can add to your existing house and contents insurance so it's worth seeing if you can do this option with your insurance, the cover is usually only about $700 but is helpful. I am with RACQ and they have this extra, so do some other general insurance companies so it's worth phoning them to ask about it.

@batgirlbc have you seen this question?

I got one when I took Dandie-Zara to get vaccinated, she was 7 y/o when I got her and the first time at that particular vet I was really chuffed to get a dog passport So, as Mairead said, just ask your vet

@Arya are you still around?

Good to see you back @Adrienne I hope you are well

That happens with my three as well, bits of red lentil, split peas and un-husked barley, it doesn't worry me as I figure it's fibre and just doing its job, it is the same if they get a carrot treat, the chewed bits come out the next day (akin to throwing money down the toilet I suppose )

Hahaha @Princess Fru Fru it'd be a bit of a shock to the system having those Dandie short legs after a whippet
