I would be getting a second opinion before having TPO surgery, it is not something I would be putting a dog of mine through without having a second or even third opinion. Your dog is 7 months old, TPO is done on a dog under 12 months, you have 2 - 3 months up your sleeve, go to another vet. Monash I can recommend Dr Bob Cavey, he is very good with Frenchies, as for a specialist, I have seen Wing Tip Wong in the past but that was years ago with a Bullmastiff for a second opinion and he was very good, there may be somebody more up with the play now though. A VIC Bulldog person may be able to recommend a good Bulldog vet.

:D What a find, finally you can have pups, they were made to go together. Nice bone and lovely colours. Good open nares and check out the nose roll :p One looks quite undershot, but thankfully doesn't show teeth. 2 fine examples of the breed. Want a breeding partner? I reckon you could get $4000 a pup easy, and if they run around the yard all day they wont need any further health testing.

I dont like wooden or plastic dog sheds/kennels. The best kennels I have found are the K-9 Homes ones. Fully insulated for Winter/Summer and easy to keep clean. K 9 Homes 119 McEwan Rd, Heidelberg Heights. PH: (03) 94552277

Beautiful, I love liver Pointers. Great name as well.

Oh I would have put that pied baby in my bag. Beautiful photos.

I either pop the tablet down the throat or smear it with Nutrigel, never had a dog not take a tablet out of my hand if it is covered in Nutrigel

Oh lovely, thanks, and congrats on your win

Do you know who the Frenchie is Scooby?

So the reason for glueing the ears.......... If they are not button then why glue? Is it like how the Bullmastiff ears can go off as pups and are taped?

Good article. Is there a breed score for hips at all? What is the ratio in an average litter for button/rose ears?

A good vet will never do a palate just in case and the vets I have discussed this with prefer not to do them under 12 months of age unless they are severe. Has the vet picked up problems to mention doing your pups? Have you noticed any problems?

I have a few questions: Ears, is it common practice to glue pups ears if they are not rose or do breeders only keep pups with the correct rose ear? My guess is it would be best to grow them slow, so is it best to keep puppies on the leaner side while they are growing? From what I have seen there appear to be 2 different types of nose roll, one that is broken and the other that goes over the nose, is one more correct than the other or is it personal preference?
