Thanks guys so much And just when things are doing so great, sadly one of our puppies has been returned to us. Gorgeous Yellow boy, Packer is now back here because of unfortunate circumstances. He is such an amazing boy, so focused, well trained and affectionate. so easy to live with, just adore him... but 3 young puppies is just too much. If anyone knows of someone looking for a beautiful male puppy, please let us know.

Legend and Story won their Baby Puppy Dog and Baby Puppy Bitch classes last weekend at the SA specialty champ show Story then went on to take out Baby Puppy In Show. The puppies were almost 14 weeks old and only just in their class, with most of the others being older puppies. So Proud :D

Voted :) ... pulling away now

+1 We've been going to Countrywide for years, returning again soon. Love it!!

No probs :) Yeh Rottis make terrible models cause they are so dark I'll spray one white, that will help :)

Thank you :) Awesome. I'll be up your way in September anyway, I'll drop them off then :laugh:

LOL, so cute AL, love it. Uhm, let's see, you can have all three of them and take over the business actually while you are at it... I need a holiday While on topic, both Legend and Story took out their baby Puppy classes on the weekend and Story won BPISS. so thrilled :)

Good point Ness and one I always raise with people wanting one of our crates for a puppy or a dog who chews... I always say if your intending on allowing unsupervised open access to the crate, then no, this product is not suitable for your dog. the dog must be locked inside or not able to access. Puppies treat soft crates as a giant chew toy from the outside and from the inside, if the door open held open they will lay down with the zipper at mouth level and chew on it :) Again, it comes down to intended application and the amount of time, supervision and commitment the owner has, less about the puppy or dog itself.

Eza - can I suggest NOT for your new puppy :D Hard crates for young dogs, soft crates for older, chilled dogs. Have a look at Vebopet online for a hard crate. Yes they are heavy but your pup won't tear it to shreds :laugh: Thanks TSD. Actually soft styled crates can work perfectly well for young puppies. It depends entirely on the intended crating application and on the owner, their time, commitment and plan. That said I always find out these things and many more before I would advise that a customer get one of our crates for a youngster or not. I am the first to suggest a steel crate if I don't believe the owner is up to the training and scenario required for a soft styled crate. For us it is all about the right tool for the job, not closing a sale. I have people thank us for advising them away from one of our crates if the situation or application raises any red or even orange flags for us. But a blanket "no way" is definitely not exactly right :)

Love it! Thinking already! Well go for it then - best soft crates around :D

Agility Dogs, you are without doubt one of if not our best all time customer. We thank you for your continued support mate

Maddy, we stock a full range of spare parts. it will be a very inexpensive fix and your crate will be as new again :) Please send us an email Damn. It got thrown out a while ago because I didn't realise spare parts were available Oh Poop

That is so cute!!!!

Hey wow!!! Aren't you a sweety sw66 I had no idea you were a DOLer and just spotted your thread. So lovely to refresh my screen and see this thread. Thank you :) I gather you probably were not even aware we are K9+ ?? :D After reading your reply, I vaguely remember that someone mentioned, on the search threads i read, that k9+ were on DOL but it went from my mind pretty quick and i had no thought of it when i posted; that said I didn't know who exactly was k9+ on DOL anyways My only problem now is that Wilbur at 31 kg has decided that he likes Laikey's new smaller crate and she takes exception to him helping himself; she then tries to wedge herself in with him. They are a pair of idiots You gotta love it when they do this. We just can't please everybody can we LOL

Thanks sc, you are a lovely customer and have terrific dogs xx

Maddy, we stock a full range of spare parts. it will be a very inexpensive fix and your crate will be as new again :) Please send us an email

Thank you bianca :)

Yeh I agree Reb, almost a bit Samoyed like. Almost could be Samoyed x GSD? The ears are a bit large for a spitz, but throw a bit of kelpie or GSD in there???

Wow, this is so fantastic. Thanks for sharing TSD. Love the photos and videos. The puppies are doing so well. No wonder you are so proud. so fantastic!!!

Thank you TSD. Legend is heading to SA for his first specialty in a couple of days. He'll have a lovely time :)

Thank you so much AL :)

Just a quick update... Legend and Dance are now 3 months old. Legend will be having his ears taped in the morning :D

I'd say there are a few things going on here, that are manifesting now more because of development... genetics, early socialisation and raising by the breeder, and guardian breed.
